The crash tenders were standing by at the side of the runway as the aircraft lands, and they are on scene within half a minute.
That implies the flight deck crew had already declared a mayday / potential gear problem....

Looks a bit like the JetBlue EMB-190 incident a couple of days ago.

Bek Air flight Z9 2041 performed a nosegear-up landing at Astana International Airport, Kazakhstan.
The aircraft, a Fokker 100, operated on a domestic flight from Kzyl-Orda Airport. Approaching the Astana Airport, the nose landing gear failed to deploy. The aircraft then made a forced nosegear-up landing on runway 22 which had been foamed by airport fire services.
The aircraft came to rest on the runway and all occupants evacuated through the forward doors. (c) ASN

Design fault...iirc it was an existing undercarriage from a smaller Fokker.
SR modified theirs with a DC9 anti shimmy damper before KLM or AF had the gear collapse at GVA.1992.
The Italians - Marchetti? - built a new one and after flight testing loaded the press on board and demonstrated a flap less landing at MLW when it promptly failed.
I grounded one after an uncontrollable oscillation started during taxying at the new airport at Munich started by the uneven joints in the concrete taxiway.
I suspected it was because we were extremely light which ment the gear was "stretched".
When the company trouble shooter arrived he told me he had refused acceptance of the new aircraft but had been overruled.
