Smile Classic gear failure

In 1995 I had a left body gear fail to extend properly. Called for gear down and then there was a very violent shake of the airframe. We all felt as if we had had a mid-air. We also lost hydraulic system one. Ran all the procedures and finally landed. The gear actuator had failed, broken and the hydraulic fluid was gone. The landing was uneventful. 747-200
