Early rumours talked about a bounce. Later rumours talk about a ga at 30-40ft during flare. Neither may be true. It's a rumour network....

Apologies if already rumoured about: Not wishing to overly extend the speculation, when we should know the truth soon enough, but.......I wonder at the chicken & egg idea: was the bounce created by gear impact during a low GA? That might be difficult to decide for a spectator. It would also create quite a surprise factor in the flight deck, especially if hard. I wonder if there was a reversal of the GA decision and the thrust removed trying to land after all?
