They might have been a little to high, but that ground effect float and keeping the nose up after landing just made things a lot worse knowing there is a barrier at the end of the runway.

I would suggest if a pilot is on final, lined up with the runway, and both engines fail, that getting it on the ground is more important than trying to circle around, without power, while reading through check lists. Pilots today seemed to want to concentrate on checklists instead of flying in emergency situations.

If both engines fail, you CANNOT go around (unless your airspeed is literally off the charts).

Do you think they failed to lower the landing gear during the chaotic situation? Or maybe they lost hydraulics function?

I have no idea. There are too many crazy things that happened. Hopefully, the investigation will eventually find out
FYI, the landing gear can be dropped without hydraulics, it can be dropped manually by pulling one handle for each of the 3 gear.

That would indicate that they overlooked/forgot the landing gear deployment. Had to have been a frantic cockpit, that’s for sure.

Both engines? Sounds like bird strike Part Deux.
