To me the landing just looked like they did a minimal flare/no flare from the video. Hard to tell with it being night. In the event they had a high wind additive, flaps 40, with no flare that's what a 1,000-1,500 fpm descent at touchdown/impact? The 73 is one tough machine and Idk what that descent rate translates to in G force but it doesn't seem like enough to send the MLG through the entire wing like that. Possible windshear with the weather present that day. Curious to see the data and what is found. I'm just glad everyone is okay.
