Quick question. Why were the front propellers moving? Were they being forced by the wind or were they turning them off? Just curious as I don't know much about flying an airplane. lol

They shut the engines off just before touchdown and then hand cranked (using the starters) the props so they were parallel with the ground. That prevents any further engine damage with the engine cells/props hit the ground. These guys are professionals!!!
