Makes you wonder why all the aft belly damage. From the distant video, I could not detect any flare. Was there no energy left to flare? I've never seen near so much damage after a gear-up landing on a runway. There have been a number of dead stick landings of Boeings and Douglas that did no damage at all: witness the new TACA 737-300 on the dike in New Orleans.

Did the Indonesia 737 that landed in the water suffer as much damage?
