Ref+18, 1500fpm in the flare, no spoilers used, no rev, three bounces, four (4) separate touchdowns...
Reverser logic confused by the bounces, so they were stuck open and thwarted a go-around attempt.
Facepalm is too kind.

Beyond that, scud running before the approach. TAWS alert while trying to find the airport. PIC questioned stability, asked for go-around. SIC (D.O.) said no. PIC declined that SIC being D.O. had any influence in not commanding a go-around. Both acknowledged fast airspeed multiple times.

The “PIC” clearly threw himself on his own sword and the DO backed the bus up over him.
The only two pilots to fly this plane so they must have flown together plenty.
765 and 1165 hrs on type respectively.
