This was simply a botched landing after a mishandled take over by the Captain who had been PM.
Deefer:
They landed long and touched down hard thanks in part to an off-profile approach and mishandled energy state. The V/S at touchdown was reported to be -960 fpm. If our Captain took over at 27 feet, it was too little too late at that point, correct?

Disregarding stabilized approach SOP, a missed approach should have been called at least at 200 feet. This was the cause of the accident. Reasonable?

Do you find the DFDR data to be odd for a stabilized approach? I do. The traces suggest fairly moderate gusting winds, contrary to the met reports.
