They should consider themselves lucky. That full power go around with associated ground contact after is extremely dangerous. If that was a wet/soggy surface then I’d expect loss of control.

Why they held that flare with dirt in front of them for so long is anyone’s guess. I assume they had no vis out the window, and got distracted by the Sharklet float. I have seen this behaviour before, new recruits who get sidetracked by the prolonged Sharklet float if
they were fast, and lose centreline/situational awareness with the mind focused on why they are not making contact with ground.

Is it just me - but can you hear the autopilot disconnect calvary charge at the beginning of the video?
Certainly is.
