dump the flaps immediately or "float" and suffer the consequences.

this is frightening to hear (as a RL pilot), imagine having zero flap and getting briefly airborne after a 'bounce'........without the flaps giving the lift at low speed you will hit even harder on the second landing and or you could get a wing drop at the same time....very messy, I see no reason why the pilot could not have used some power fed in slowly to initiate a go around or at least soften the second landing given the engine did sound a little sick.
