Narrative:
Very hard landing caused by windshear. We took out the airport fence with our landing gear. Tv monitor covers came loose due to extreme hard landing. It may be prudent to look into these tv monitor covers being fixed on more securely. If they had come loose and fallen, and if an evacuate/evacuation were needed, they could impede an evacuate/evacuation.
