Steep Landing Angle?

So I was looking for some pics of the ATR 72 when I stumble on this one of what seems to be an ATR 42 in trouble...

Now is it me or is this a rather steep angled landing... could there be a problem with the plane do you think? It might be the light from the camera flash but the overhead lamps are dark, the autopilot display and the nav radios are dark and the glide path indicator is missing from the EADI (Electronic Attitude Director Indicator).

The final piece of the puzzle that makes me think the plane is in trouble is... THE SMURF!  :o

Currently Doing: Awaiting coloured acrylic for colouring rear lighting and working on final versions of overhead panel fixtures (Yay, finally!)

I don't know anything about ATR's but what are those eng gauges doing? looks like they'r doing nothing to me.

Maybe it's shopped?

Looks like a nice photoshop job to me  :)

I just got back from the outer islands in a BN2. looks very much like the angle of approach we came in on.
Not sure what this young fella (pilot) was up to, as we came in on a cross wind when there was a perfectly good and available up wind rwy available.
Anyway they say a landing you walk away from is a good landing so I am still smiling.
