It’s called porpoising. Pilot was behind on his reactions.

My pilot buddy says a good landing is when you can use the plane again. I’m thinking this does not qualify.

The incompetent, poorly trained pilot killed his passengers.

they were incapable of landing without the assistance of autopilot.

Huh?? Have they ever actually landed an Airplane before??

Hard to tell but I don’t see flaps fully extended.

The pilot must have gone to a muslim flying school where they don’t teach you how to land.

It is rather misleading headline. From the preliminary investigation they had not only an autopilot failure but also most instruments disabled including airspeed and altimeter due to a lighting strike. The way pilots are trained these days that’s basically no chance for a smooth landing.
