At least the gear was down. When I was working for a local carrier they would have a gear up landing twice a year. Prop planes connecting hubs, pilots trying to run up their flight hours to upgrade.

The only thing I read was "unstable approach/interrupted landing sequence" which doesn't explain a great deal. Not much that can cause a tail strike like that other than over-rotation.

Could have been a lot worse.....

It was. Both incidents happened within a month of the other back in 2008.
