I think the distance compression due to the lens zoom also exaggerates the perceived severity of the landing. There is no doubt that it is out of the ordinary, but I don’t know if it was as bad as we think.

I understand your point, but based on my experience, and I’ve been flying since I received my private pilot license at age 17 then flew for the USAF for a career (all total about 45yrs), from my view of the landing, the pilot boned the landing. Regardless of lens compression, the jet was swerving back-and-forth way too much because the pilot did a lot of over-correcting.

Just my opinion off course.
