I was shocked (when I first saw the video of the bouncing a/c) by the speed of the aircraft. It looked unreal fast and I thought the playback speed was the problem. I could not imagine landing the a/c at that speed in the nose up attitude was possible, as there too much lift remained, so one had to push yoke forward to make a ground contact (nose wheel first). Or hold off forever till the speed reduced and run out of runway. Or, may be, I thought they were landing with a strong tailwind. Nop.

Now the article above mentioned the speed was 30 kts above "normal". However the pilot, in the interview, referred to the speed as "normal". Did he mean it was the target calculated t/d speed given the weight of the aircraft? Or was there glitch in the system producing under-inflated speed indications?

Also, given the excessive speed on the bounces, the revving engines pushing the fire out, post fire flaps looking like they were set for a climb - in other words, was there a go around attempt?
