The video shot from the rear as the a/c lands appears to show that famous 'one-wheel landing' technique (starboard Main). Kind of looks more like cross-wind lateral forces made something let-go on the u/c, rather than a heavy-landing. The passenger-view video shows an intermediate prop strike before the final one & ensuing collapse onto the runway, presumably the crew still had some speed & lift on that side for a while?...still, mustn't speculate eh??
I'm impressed by the efficient evacuation, even noting the talking-freight went to the upwind side of the r/w farthest from any potential fire! Good job done.

Although it should be noted that a fair number of the SLF took the time out to collect their cabin-luggage prior to evacuating. :facepalm:

Watch these fly in and out of Birmingham everyday while at work.
Good to see all onboard walked away.

There is a dedicated page to all the accidents on Wiki as there have been so many. Have the manufacturers made any amendments to the construction of the landing gear because it certainly seems to suffer the same/ similar repeated failure.
