For all 3 to fail is unlikely. For the lowered undercarriage (mains) to both collapse on landing is most unlikely, due to the nature of the friction washers at the bottom of the 4 mains screwjacks.
The nose U/c has 2 additional methods of emergency lowering, but has (rarely) collapsed on landing in the past.
I think you know the answer to this question........
Collapsed......................who mentioned that
Just tried to have a closer look at the pic and cant see any U/C doors open but the one thing I dont know and you dont know is exactly what happened so lets wait and see eh
