Huge bounce - Wing flex - Fuel venting

By far the biggest landing bounce I’ve seen for a plane as heavy as 40-tonnes. As you can see, the force of the impact causes the wings to bend and fuel to be ejected from the wingtips. The day was one of strong winds more or less along the runway, gusting to around 24 knots (28mph). The plane has been hangared at BHX in the days since the incident, but I’ve no idea if this ’touchdown’ on 1 February 2018 is the reason.
