Doesn't really answer whether they were down and locked.
If the gear was down and locked, but they landed very hard, I wouldn't expect it to look like that. And clearly it didn't roll to a stop.
One rumour says they went up, another says they were down.
Is it possible they selected gear up on GA when climbing, and then selected gear down when they realised they were going down again? And that it hit the deck before the wheels locked?
