Had that crew regularly practised bounced landings/touch and goes (the most dangerous thing we do), this would never have happened. It's called muscle memory, and it is why the old-timers still fly the pants off the magenta kids.
I did 63 touch and goes and 3 full stop landing, in the plane (C-5), in one week. Some of them tactical arrivals from 10,000 at night to a runway lacking any visual glide path guidance and 7,000' long. Never thought it dangerous even once.
