. . .

Landed HARD - looks like the right wheel gear
COLLAPSED. Wing dug in to the ground. All bad
after that. Passengers speak of "sideways".

In THIS case ... I'm gonna say "pilot error".

Yes, conditions WERE bad - maybe worse than
reported - but it's up to the pilots to
adapt to the situation - or go around and
try again.

MIGHT blame it on the landing gear ... but
the vid DOES show the thing kinda plopping
in VERY hard. There are mechanical limits.

From the videos it looks like the plane didn't flare (nose up) prior to
the landing for whatever reason.
This is a strange one for sure.
