Narrative:

After a turbulent approach in gusty weather; the landing performed by the flying pilot bounced three times. This caused severe damage to the fuselage. Main causes were probable fatigue; poor weather; and deferred items. The crew's duty day was extended the full two hours allowed due to passenger compliance complications in ZZZ. The weather was worse than forecast or originally reported; the worst winds reported by tower were approximately 260 deg at 25g35. The deferred auto speedbrakes were very probably a contributing factor to the initial bounce; which led to two other porpoising bounces. Our scheduled duty day comprised of two; 5-hour flights with a 2-hour refueling stop in between. A schedule like this provides for very little sleeping breaks for the augmented crew; much less than a single long flight would allow. The use of duty time extensions on top of an already-long day should also be explored. Training involving a more thorough understanding of the effects of speedbrakes; particularly for heavy category aircraft; could be very beneficial going forward.
