The USN video shows an engine still attached, so it couldn't have splashed down that hard...I thought somebody above reported the engines are designed to separate on water contact? Makes me suspect again much of the landing energy was dissipated into the runway (i.e. landed long).

Anyway, the latest reporting...high praise to the pilots and crew from the PX Chairman.
