That's a not a Q400 - so it doesn't immediately fall into the same category as the SAS incidents.
No, but the 100, 200 and 300 also has a tendency to shear one of the links in the MLG when stressed above a certain level. And it's designed to do it too if I remember correctly. (Something about protecting the structural integrity of the wing???)
Wideroe has had 3 DHC8-100s on its knees IIRC
