Wow....unbelievable there were no fatalities. Looks like the right-side landing gear may have collapsed which then caused the right wing to catch the ground.

Yeah.....he was coming in hot but may have been doing so due to the high winds.

I wonder if the aircraft got caught up in some wind shear which drove it into the runway.

Why is the pilot of this plane videoing other planes landing. Shouldn't he be getting ready for take off?

This looks like a private jet and the guy filming is in the right seat. Not all private jets are required to have 2 pilots so he could just be along for the ride in the right seat.

even the degree of the aircraft seemed very flat

This is interesting….

ATC should probably have waved them off, make them try another pass.

That’s not ATC’s job. No way they can make that call. To me it looks like the plane caught a microburst, hit hard, and the main gear failed. I mean, the plane hit hard but I’ve seen aircraft hit hard and bounce back in the air. (There is an FAA AD dealing with CRJ main landing gear corrosion that I posted above.) That’s the theory I’m going with at least.

I would be shocked if that was a microburst.

There were reports of high winds, but no cross winds. So, obviously it was head on.

I was in a B-52 once that had similar wind conditions, but just below thw windspeed threshold to apply a gust factor (i.e. increase our airspeed in case the gusts suddenly stopped close to landing).

Well, the gusts did stop suddenly, which meant our lower airspeed wasn't enough to provide enough lift, and we landed VERY hard.

I'm not saying that's what happened here, but outside of gross pilot error, the video reminds me of my experience above.

This old report of an accident seems eerily similar:
"This is the moment a driver had a lucky escape after losing control and flipping her car upside down onto two parked cars."

I think you are correct. A construction project I was on dug up (literally) an old Eastern Airlines jet that had landed so hard it damaged the wings with the landing gear. Neither landing gear failed. It must have been quite a shock to the passengers
