So the word so far is, now take this with a pinch of salt, that the flare was too early, the aircraft bounced, in reaction to it the PF pushed the nose down, the nose gear impacted the runway burst the tires, the aircraft veered left, was brought back onto the centerline and she grinded the rest of the way to a stop.
Thanks blind pew for bringing the thread back to the incident and away from some people's concept of landing with a full stall (a 737 is not a C152, Widescreen) from a completely different flight last year.
If the early flare theory is correct then that could well be a result of the strong, quartering tailwind. This has been previously refered to with reference to DUB's operating preference due taxi way constraints.
Higher rate of descent plus changed perspective and differing body angle led to a misjudgement. Hopefully the crew involved can get some refresher training to erase the ghosts and Dublin airport can get it's act together? Or I am being terribly naive?
