Something like this can happen with the 737, and it makes for a touchy landing, particularly if you are fast.
I did a TE-Flaps up landing in a NG once, with touchdown just shy of 190kts... no big deal on a long runway when you do a relative positive landing with immediate spoiler deployment.
But the post crash pictures clearly show slats and flaps extended in this case...
So why did they bounce? (no ground Spoiler deployment, excessive speed ?)
And why did they not went around after the first bounce?
