I agree. My simple calculations suggest the exhaust gas pressure at the bottom of the engine bell just before landing was about 6 psi. Four feet down this pressure probably less than 2 psi. Off to the side of the engine bell, well, I'm not sure how to calculate that. But I figure that the landing radar shield probably had to withstand up to 3 psi of pressure. That ain't much at all.
