Narrative:
The DC-9 landed heavily on runway 09 (forces of 5g) and taxied safely to apron. Major structural damage was discovered there.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The aircraft was high on approach, which was overcorrected, causing the aircraft coming too low. Thrust was increased and the DC-9 then struck the runway in a nose up attitude.
