That depends, not if they had a nose gear issue!
Actually, I hope it was just a nose gear collapse as the outcome of that is relatively benign. There is a quite a bit of metal on the underside of a Cat so you can get away with scraping off a bit, and it will not have led to any shock loaded engines I guess.

Can anyone supply an update on this incident. Was it main or nose gear? What is current status?

Can anyone supply an update on this incident. Was it main or nose gear? What is current status? APOLOGIES for duplication of this query. I don't know about other users but signing into WIX these days seems painfully slow and I was unaware if my first query had been posted or not.
