Yea, it looks like he touched down way too high of an airspeed. He probably carried extra speed on final to compensate for gusts or potential wind shear, and had no way to bleed off the speed. I bet that rather than go around, he decided to try to put it down. The problem is that nosewheel first landings tend to porpoise very violently which can break off the nosewheel strut or worse, launch the plane back airborn at a steep angle well below stall speed and with the engines in idle. That never ends well 
Problem is we have these wierd layers of speed as you come in, the airport is in a kind of valley, hills on either side. Prevailing wind NW/SE. The NW come in from over a hill range, developing turbulence, and the SE come up off the antarctic so are just plain mean. Sometimes you can hear the pilots really working the engines over
. Wierd thing is there's never been any serious incidents.
