There's even a video of the aircraft sliding down the runway at high speed.

My guess is that it's the standard Indonesian unstabilised approach - go-around is loss of face so that's not going to happen!

High speed/High rate of descent/Hard landing/Gear collapse - just another day in Asia! Nothing to see here - move along!

The comments are pretty awesome.
One suggests setting up your camera on every day with similar weather, you are bound to get a video like that.

Another says, "Wait for the report. It could be metal fatigue on the landing gear.."

Landing gear failure.  That's pretty funny.
