Buddy boy forgot to deploy his tailhook. That’s a carrier landing if I’ve ever seen one. Bit off topic but that United 752 at the start takes me back 15 years to when they were a common sight.

Ouch! First striking the right bogey alone, then putting a ton of weight only on the nose gear like he was doing a stoppy! My initial impression is that they hit a gust that floated them and they were trying to (over) correct down, but there it looked like there was no attempt to flare whatsoever.
Watching Die Hard recently for Christmas, reminds me of Die Hard 2 when they moved the elevation down on the ILS, and the Windsor DC-8 came down hard.

Huh. I love the MEA livery on the A321NEOs, but I can’t help but feel that perhaps it doesn’t fit super well on the A330neo.
