He touched down so hard he bounced then the front wheel gave way. Fortunate it didn’t explode.

I noticed a puff of smoke from the turbine about a second before it landed. I wonder if he had an engine failure?

Designed to keep on ticking after taking a licking.

IMO the forward fan shut down while the plane was still in a high thrust mode. The only other reason the plane would do that would be inadvertent control inputs either by the FCS or the pilot. Too soon to know.
