I saw the video this morning, seems like lot of thrust set in at the rear shortly after it touched the ground.
Glad to hear the pilot is safe.

Maybe it just got an unwanted Microsoft (tm for turdmark) update in the wrong moment, like it happens all the time and everywhere

OK pilot, that will be $78,000,000. Would you be interested in our automatic payroll deduction plan?

Seems the airframe is intact so the problem can be figured out. The bounce looked unintentional and then the front thrust seemed to shut off trying to settle, or maybe the rear thrust didn't shut off instead.
