Perhaps not surprisingly the aussie media are calling it a "Crash landing" !
If the gear collapses on landing, and the airplane blocks the runway, then
crash landing would seem to be an honest description of the event to me. What's the problem?
This is obviously a bit more than a "heavy landing", where the g-meter shows out of limits, and perhaps there is a rubber jungle down the back.
I am not usually much of a supporter of the media or journalists efforts when reporting aviation matters, but this seems fair.
