I'm puzzled by all the interpretations here
In the recently referenced Photos of tire tracks, my first reaction was the RH gear in an obviously foreshorten photo (and not nose and single tire track)
I have seen the absence in other accidents of LH gear track where the gear was sheared off in the first ditch after it left the runway, so is this the case here ?
I have heard that slap retractions are automatic if the hydraulics are breached, could this be part of the explanation. It seems like all the info that is needed to investigate this accident is available on-site, so why are we guessing?
