I think the strut just snapped about half-way up. I think both the suspect ends have been collected by the ntsb for exam.
I heard it was a normal landing, they got on the brakes and felt a vibration, got off them and got back on when the gear snapped.
She (PF) did a very nice job keeping it straight and trying to clear the runway at the taxiway. Too, that may just be where it wanted to go. One of the nose tyres took a real beating probably from holding the plane straight and under control.
Fire crew was close and 'johnny-on-the-spot' and had the fire out in only a couple of minutes. The plane looks repairable to me.
