Silkway makes sure that Schiphol remains below sea level
Apparently this landing was accomplished some time last weekend.

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!

Any More Info On This Hard Landing?
Saw it first on FB, found it on YouTube. Allegedly occurred on Apr 22 at Schipol. Silkway cargo plane, very hard landing.

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.
