I am curious to know what the crew did after what appears to have been the second landing. Would they have shut engines down or selected reverse thrust? Seems quite remarkable the aircraft slid along in a straight line for around 3000m with wings level. Helped no doubt by the large flat fairing over the gear bays. As the speed wound down did a point come when the aircraft had to tip to the left or right or were the crew able to influence this outcome in any way? It went right and then executed a turn to the right of around 155 degrees presumably because the right engine dug in. Aircraft comes to rest on approx heading of 275 and pictures show wind appearing to be blowing across aircraft at right angles ie from 185. How fortuitous this all happened with runway to spare ( though not much). I find it hard to believe reports that pax were unaware all this was going on.

Reason: unplanned belly landing
