Yes. The youtube link is correct. From the video, it seems that the thrust reverser was deployed quite late into the landing roll. Also, the landing was just a little hard with a bounce, no threat to safety. Wonder what was the fuss about. Blowing of tyres is more common than most people think, but I guess the separation of the outboard bead heel was the issue. With regards to the captain intervening, it seems poor communication played a part too.

I like the ATSB reports. They are very good. I also read the ATSB report on the QF landing in BKK in 99. It was extremely informative.
