Looks like the speed bled off, and the plane landed hard, and caught a wing tip.

I had one veteran CRJ pilot tell me that in some cases the auto throttle can't keep up in this type of condition ?

CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Jet makes rough landing at RDU during high winds
No variant of the CRJ has an auto-throttle system. Maybe he meant the pilot couldn’t keep up. That was a horrendous landing.
