The gear collapse was either caused by the crew being:  

   

Too Fat or Two Fat Crew as detailed below. You know the FAA and their abbreviating.

Now THAT is funny......2 FAT.....I didn't even catch that

at first.



What did get me curious though is....there was a crew of

2 in the plane.  Was the flyoff complete yet?  I hadn't

heard that it had been yet and I know there were many

curious people about any out of the ordinary powerplant.

Will be interesting to learn the details, and whether it was nose gear, 

or mains or both. However, it appears that a correct reading is crew 2, 

fat 0. So the skinnys crew win.

Come to think of it I do seem to remember a post that the time

was flown off, so crew of 2 sounds perfectly fine.
