Thanks as usual, Kulverstukas. Actually, that photo of the R/H main gear (aircraft pointing from left to right) does not look too bad.

But, in addition to the apparent collapse of the nose gear, the previous ones suggest that the engines may have ingested soil, etcetera. That partly depends on at what point the engines were throttled back to idle, at what point reverse was cancelled, and at what point they were shut down. (Presumably full reverse would have been used for the landing.)
