Appears the plane is on a taxiway and was turning to go to the gate. One poster said that some maintenance guy didn’t fully tighten something on the gear. Amazing that it didn’t collapse on T/O but as you say, the weight came fully down on it during a turn.

Use ctl + to zoom in. Looks like they were making a 90o left turn.

If it had collapsed on landing... Thank You, Lord! for that last bit of tensile strength!

I didn’t realize those planes used self-serve fueling.

Still no passengers killed.

If you don't count Jonathan Burton.

Name any airline that mentions lack of fatalities in their advertising?

Uninformed speculation.

I was boarding (PSA, IIRC) and I noticed a credit card in a plastic pocket on the inside of the cockpit door, I asked the pilot if that was how they paid for the fuel.

"Yup," he says, "just like in the movie."...

Ah, yes I remember now, they could only go straight or turn in one direction. Cartwheeled on landing. Still managed to have many survivors.
