Looks like he had it pretty much lined up in the flare and then gave full left rudder at the last minute.
Hindsight is always 20/20 … and we all have the luxury of watching and rewinding to our hearts content – that pilot had to “do” what he saw, felt, and heard. It appeared to be a touchdown somewhat harder than it could have been – but, I would suspect that it wasn’t as “shocking” to those on board as it was to the on-lookers – specifically including all of US!

That would be roughly the empty weight without an impact.
Does anyone know what kind of forces the landing gear is dealing with on a loaded A380 having a rough landing?
