Tldr: reconstruction of flight path from numerous cctv cameras around the airport and detailed timeline.  
Hopefully they didn’t shut off a running engine, good pilotage getting back to the runway.
Lesson: don’t float a gear up landing, get metal on the ground asap to increase drag.

I found the correlation of cctv video very interesting.  Keep in mind these are (relatively) junky ccd cameras.  There are systems that do this to visually track aircraft that can’t be tracked via other methods.  Just think how effective such a system could be with high quality cameras.  Or multispectral cameras to see through atmospheres that block visible light….

Why did they design it so the CVR and data recorder are tied to the engine’s ability to make power?  There has to be a good reason other than “because Boeing.”

Fuck that is so sad.

Even if the crew might have made mistakes, considering the circumstances they were under, the mere fact that they got it back on the runway is an incredible testament to their perseverance.

When that aircraft was built there was no requirement for the recorders to be battery powered.

Some times you get dealt a shit hand.  You work with what you have.

I'm still curious as to their position from the FAF when the Go-Around was initiated, and when the bird strikes happened.

It certainly changes things, learning they were on the go prior to the bird strikes.
