Yakutia Superjet at Yakutsk - runway overun and ldg. gear collapse
Accident: Yakutia SU95 at Yakutsk on Oct 10th 2018, overran runway on landing

I'm trying to understand, how could the main gear of a commercial aircraft collapse without affecting the nose gear? Surely the main gear should be capable of withstanding all sorts of landings. I wouldn't expect to see it collapse from going over a little ledge.

Any ideas?
