Why does it have 4 engines?

Because they couldn't fit 6.

In the second one, it looks like he had wayyyy too much speed, and thusly landed flat, bounced, and ballooned over and over again. Any ideas on what happened in the first?

I thought I heard it was designed for the Queen of England to fly across the english channel. They wanted 4 engines so it was more redundant. Not sure though, thats just what I heard.

He didn't float, was close to being on centerline, and landed in the touchdown zone, ALL THREE TIMES. Whats so bad about it?
It could be my screen's resolution - does anyone else see the tail strike if you pause the playback at impact?
