Old JAL crash further info

Read a not exactly clearly written but nonetheless interesting comment about the original cause of the tail strike to the infamous JAL 747 that later crashed into a mountain in Japan after a faulty repair.There was never much info about the original incident that I was able to find so I thought that this might be interesting to some.

"...a bounced landing by the PF, caused the plane to go airborne after the bounced landing, which caused the all spoilers to come up"

"This FE without PF's command or PNF's motion, he restored Spoilers to up, and then try to set it to ARM, but pulled to the full UP position causing a hard landing hitting the tail. That has caused the pressure bulk head to be damaged."

JAL's English -abridged AAR-translation mention's the 2Jun78 landing,
only citing a "hard landing".
The OP is quoting from part of a recent long and rambling reader's letter to Aviation Week/BCA, which doesn't quote any source for the information.
