Just saw a quick clip on BBC News 24 of what looked to be a Dash 7 Making a forced landing on Margarita Island Venezuela. Looked like the Starboard main leg not extended.
40 Pax all ok.
Edit..
I just checked Airliners net for a pic, it was a Dash 7 ! Doh...

Looks like the pilots first touched down with the left mlg, then the right mlg collapsed. Aircraft should be repairable.
