Biman A310 nose collapse!

Yes I'm sure they will, to where its' predeccors parked once upon a time, namely PIA & Aeroflot(?).

No details yet murmoured, however eye-witness reports state, bang was heard then nose gear collapsed, on the rwy past the half way mark, on the T.O. roll, 12L.
came to a grinding halt in a spray of angle-grinder effects on the end of the rwy. No fire or disastrous conditions evident.

I can only deduce that crew experienced something with the NLG & decided an abort, which then caused the collapse, possibly dragging the gear aft & under the fuselage???
They must have been very close to Vr, which would mean light loads on the gear at that time.

Will keep posted.
