Well if you notice in the picture there is some smoke lingering above the runway. This could be indicating a bounce on landing. So maybe the pilots activated the reversers when the wheels first made contact with runway. Thus they were still open when the aircraft bounced back into the air.

You'd think having the TR's out would have kept that jet on the ground though...

Who remembers putting the inboards in reverse to get the 8 down?

I do. Jumpseating on Arrow, could see TJSJ from 370 and landed straight in. Wow. Actually it was yet MJSJ then! Airplane smelled like pig poop from hauling pigs the day before. But at least no moving map!

Don’t know if it’s just the camera angle but the nose appears well left of centerline, right wing slightly low.

Is that a 727? Or a Soviet airplane?

Tupolev TU-154

Riggght Low bounce? Little apparent rudder defection. Short struts, long wingspan. Probably easy to bang a tip. Planted hard in a crab, buckets out, best guess I have. Soviet bloc did manage to come up with some cool iron. Ivan land, now!!

The TU-154 (and other Soviet jets) can fly approaches with some thrust revers deployed.

In the TU-154, the reverser buckets are deployed prior to touchdown. You can see a good image of it here:

Speaking of odd safety-related photos...
 
Speaking of odd safety-related photos: This here is a active, functioning airport. The Air Force thought it would be a great idea to dig up the runway shoulders AND install a basketball ring like so

This reeks of a scam. First post...with a link to click on.

It's OK, it's just an image.

The .cc domain looks sketchy but it's used very commonly for disposable links and even for organization domains where somebody else got the obvious .com version first. I actually had a large company using the .cc TLD back in the 90's.

Similar to how youtube uses the Belgium TLD for video links: xyz.youtu.be

It's the Cocos Islands, which is under Aussie jurisdiction. They have a very small population but somehow got their own TLD back in the early days of the digital gold rush. I assume their economy now relies on renting it out.
