I'm pretty sure that the first 777 landing was done completely by the autopilot. I do know that the autopilot is capable of that type of landing.

Anyone have the language skills necessary to translate the text? I haven't gotten around to translating frame by frame...

LMAO :D :D That is so bloody funny. What the hell happened there
I would suggest its a water landing gone wrong - i saw a documentary about all things seaplane on cable a few months back.

Throughout, it was saying how easy it was to get landings wrong - any sort of crosswind crabbing HAS to be properley corrected before the plane touches water or the plane will start to slew and then just flip, like the one in the clip.

Similar crashes will occur if the plane hits any sort of wake on landing - it has to be still water

There were quite a few similar clips on the documentary.
