I see no relevance to a skid digging in or any sign of that . Also no sign of TR fan failure ( the spin would have been far more aggressive ) . Either he just ran out of pedal ( pulling too much power plus wind on tail ) or never gave it full pedal ( unlikely as a professional ) . He would have done better to take off when he realised he was in bad spot and found better place to land properly or find a place he could be light on skids but into the wind .
