I agree. But wait! There's more!!! I just found some footage on the
same site (poor quality) which shows a DC-9 (?) landing so hard that
even though the undercarriage holds up, the whole fuselage flexes
violently and the tail section breaks off!

I've never seen any thing like it:

That was part of certification testing (i.e. no pax on board!!!)

They may want to beef up the tail assembly if that was flown by the
correct certification profile...
