With its institutional memory, builds a/c to land on the Carrier. The LG division is a little over exuberant. After the wing fails, (pick a side) the remaining wing is accelerated (pivoting around a dug in MLG) gaining great lift. The remaining (Starboard in this case) wing failed also, at its most pronounced AOA and at the pylon. The video shows this, it is unusual it remained in position post crash, but not startling; skin, and rib/stringer assemblies carried it along. IMO. It is amazing to see the NLG defiantly stuck in the Air after those horrendous bounces and pre-roll skid.
