Sort of get the feeling that the aircraft commander is about to get rated for something new to fly; the mighty D30X60 Desk.

Looks like a long landing. If you can't get it down in the first 3,000' of the touchdown zone, go around--right? He had a bunch of cargo, so he was definitely carrying power over the numbers, but too many pilots think an airline type soft landing where you can't feel the transition from flare to main wheel contact is nirvana.

Not in a heavy strategic cargo aircraft it isn't.

Expect lots of FCIFs, safety meetings, and altered instructor techniques after the safety board releases its findings.
