It’s a sad day when us old timers have to do all the heavy lifting. ;)

The aircraft bounced and wind caught it under it’s starboard wing flipping it over.

There are reports of high winds. I suspect they left on too much speed and did not use proper crosswind technique. airliner cockpits are now so automated that many pilots no longer have seat of the pants flying skills. I put it down ultimately to poor airmanship.
