Delta commuter jet lands hard at Toronto, capsizes and burns, no fatalities

Based on the video I saw, I'm not sure how they can be sure the gear failed before the wing parted company with the plane. It looked to me like the wingtip hit the ground before the oleo even got a chance to compress. I haven't gone back and rewatched it yet, but it wasn't a matter of the aircraft touching down level then suddenly dipping to the right. The right wingtip was low before it touched down, as I remember it.

They aren't sure of the sequence. Probably happened all at the same time.

"A lot happened then, and investigators are not yet precisely sure in what order events occurred."
