B747-300 Body Gear Landing

I have seen photos of ZS-SAS landing on only the Body Gears it was in the 1980's, Both Wing Gears did not come out for landing, the aircraft didn't look very stable looked like it was about to fall over and the shock struts were fully compressed but landing was perfect considering there was No Auto Landing Feature in the Auto pilot those days.
