Loma, I think he is referring to the left hand engine. If the wings were a bit "right wing down" and there was some drift to the right as it came down, depending on a bunch of factors there might be enough side load for the right gear to fail since it was coming down harder than usual ... as the right absorbs energy, and the RH engine does, and the right wing does .. maybe the LH MLG doesn't fail so the LH engine doesn't get as much punishment as the right?
This is all maybe and guessing, and I do not have enough pictures to look at as the plane slid down the runway to get a sense of its "flat" or "tilted" attitude to support that idea.
