You don't need to blame wake turbulence in this part of the world - carrier landings are the norm. Some right seaters make prayers before landing, which always puts me on high alert. A few were trained by the Joseph Bamford flying school.

This was another gear collapse, at Antalya. But you be pleased to know that the gear only collapsed because the landing was too smooth. Apparently there is a flaw with the 737 design, so that when you do a real greaser the gear always collapses.....
