Mmmmmm, the time line seems to makes sense now after the eye witness Pilot report above......

Hard bounced landing, ATC see it and advise "climb to 4,000' " thinking they were helping ( they were not helping, a very bad time to call the Aircraft which does happen around those parts )
The FO answers this ATC call when he should have been doing other things like MONITORING, they never get TOGA, Gear selected up, they never maintain a positive climb as it's damn hot 49c, perhaps a slight Windshear from the tailwind ( reported 310/11 ) and there you go.........

Ground contact........game over.......

Lucky it's built like a Tank.
