This was discussed in recurrent training and the story is that it was a bounced landing. The landing has to be pretty hard to bounce a CRJ and the danger is a resulting Groung Lift Dumping spoiler deployment while airborne. Which is what happened to this flight. The requirements to deploy GLD is thrust levers at idle or N1 less than 40% and two of the following three: L or R MLG weight on wheels; wheel speed greater than 16 kts; or radar altitude less than 5 feet.
When the plane bounced they still met the requirements for GLD to deploy. They had the thrust levers at idle, wheel spin up due to the initial touchdown and a radar altitude of less than 5 feet.

So it was the GLD Spoilers deployment due to the other factors that broke the Engine Struts? That one above is a rum do Justin,
