Apparently this landing was accomplished some time last weekend.

Is applying spoilers on bounce an approved procedure on the 74' ?

Actually the spoilers auto-deploy on touchdown on the 747, and will restow again if you bounce, which they did on this 'landing'.
If you really grease it on, the spoiler deployment can sometimes be your first indication of touchdown, however in this example, I'm confident the crew were fully aware that they had returned to mother earth!

My lower back started aching just watching this!

You sure?

Can I be the first:
A little late on the roundout, Hoskins.

One of those times when a landing really does look like a "controlled crash into a planet"...
Having planted it perhaps he needs a bucket of water to water it

The movement on the in board flaps is amazing!

AZG123, take the next bounce to the left and contact Ground point

Just as well Mr. Boeing built them to last. Yowsers.

Flat Spot the tyres? By brute compression force, not locking up.

Saw it first on FB, found it on YouTube. Allegedly occurred on Apr 22 at Schipol. Silkway cargo plane, very hard landing.

Fab recovery.
Probably a "I have control" moment.......

More like a "I thought you had control" moment!

Looks like Captain gravity had control. How do you spell elevator? And 'gently'?

The inboard left flap jiggles interestingly at the first touchdown, which is somewhat short of the recommended 1000' past the threshold - windshear may have yanked the rug.

Which aircraft was it? And was it delayed for inspection?

B744 VP-BCH. Normally turns round in a couple of hours at AMS, but didn't depart until the following morning.
