Yep, landing gear failure on an ATR72 (Aer Arran?) after heavy landing. Funnily enough, I saw both approaches. A lot of wing movement at about 1000ft as it passed overhead, so I wasn't too surprised to hear the sad news.

With these winds at SNN you get windshear on final and severe turbulence at 200ft, with a nice bit of turbulence on the TDZ for 24 due to the hangars on the NW side of RW06/24.
