The gear sequence, as well as the actions post the first touchdown, is terrifying but possible to understand. An extreme case indeed, but still an error chain.

On the contrary, attempting to land in flap overspeed, that is beyond any comprehension. For the non-pilots reading, a stabilized approach is typically flown around 40 kt slower than the Flaps(max) speed. Allowed overshoot +15, let's say, i.e. no closer than 25 knots below Flaps(max). The doomed aircraft was brought to the runway over the red line at Flaps(max) speed +30.

Madness.
