LH 747 Hard Landing
Entertaining, but it didn't look like it broke anything. Reportedly a "training" flight with pax, so IOE.

Look at the elevator - it shows the push - pull movements that resulted in the 3 point, or almost 3 point, landing after the bounce. Just a little bit later on the 'save' and it would have been a nose gear first landing. That's when it can get ugly...and expensive.
Don't push forward on the yoke. It's been jet flying 101 for decades.

We've all had bad days and clunkers, but this really shouldnt be happening on a 74.

Rumor has it a sports team captain was allowed to be at the controls and give the landing a try.

Seems to be a bit of pilot induced rock and roll on short final.
I flew the 747s for 15 years and had my share of "arrivals" but never bounced one, that there was pretty rough and must have triggered a heavy landing inspection for sure.
Pan Am lost 3 out of 4 hydraulic systems in San Francisco and bounced one using only half the main gear and it still held.

It's embarrassing for the profession. Imagine if you saw a fellow doctor tying stitches using squirrel knots. You wouldn't care for it either. "Seriously? You made it through residency but that's how you close up??"
