quoting the source:
The following interesting footage was filmed on Nov. 30, at Malaga airport.
It shows a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-900 registration TC-JYA performing a bumpy landing with subsequent tailstrike and go around.
Although it’s almost impossible to determine the cause of the tailstrike, the aircraft seems to be quite fast on final approach. The low flare results in a bumpy landing. After the second touchdown the pilot holds the nose high to achieve some aerodynamic braking but the tail wheel touches the runway and the aircraft, because of the speed (or as a consequence of a wind gust) starts to climb again, forcing the pilot to perform a go around.
