#3 It's called "Porpoising".

"Thou shall not try to force an unstabilized aircraft onto the landing runway."

A go-around from final approach was prudent but not initiated.

Probably a student on solo or with a "surprised" CFI.

#4 Global Warming, man! The 0.04 degree C rise in the average global temperature has caused the Earth to expand, as things do when heated. Because the surface of the Earth is higher, a landing plane will encounter the ground sooner than expected, leading to bounces.

#5 Sure, you're laughing now, but will you still be laughing when all this heat works its way down to Earth's core and the temp at Gaia's very brisket skyrockets from [clickety-clack] 5,957 degrees Furrin (plus or minus 500) to 5957.04 (ditto) and the whole goddam ball of wax blows up like a Hollywood grenade? I mean, think of the impact on the Gretasphere alone!

#6 Wuz talking Movie Problems at the campfire recently and commented on how movies have The Heroes, in typical load out, and start a chapter at ground level and end up at like 30,000 feet with no breathing apparatus or cold weather clothing, and they're just fine.
