Video Coverage Hope they put their gear down??? Aircraft clearly sitting on its belly, yet when raised, the gear is clearly appears intact???
I wouldn’t think all 3 gear would collaspe, and still be lowered intact once raised? We had a Merlin that all three gear collasped when a hydralic line burst?? This aircraft landed in darkness, blinding snow, and stormy winds.

It’s not unheard of for the gear that refused to deploy to pop right out once the crane picks the aircraft up.
I thought the crane was going to smack the tail.
Every now and then I see a semi going down the interstate transporting a set of CRJ wings. I assume they are going to Skywest in SLC.
From the “eyewitness” accounts, it sounds like it spun out on the snowy runway and slid off the runway backwards into a snow bank. I can’t tell from the pictures exactly, but are we sure the gear collapsed at all? It might have simply been sitting deep in a snow bank.
Seen the after effects of an accident exactly like this one on involving a cherokee, ripped the wing right off.
Just looked at the second video, I can clearly see all three gear tire tracks where they left the runway. Considering there is about a foot and a half outside my house right now, I should have at least thought of that!!!
