The left engine cowl, nose gear, and right main gear were all that were left of the aircraft when it crashed on the runway. Despite appearing to be down, the left main gear could not support the aircraft.

As soon as the plane touched down, passengers noticed sparks coming from the left main gear. Later, they left the ship by the main door on the right and the steps.

According to the airline, there was a mechanical problem with the aircraft upon landing, and all passengers were transported to the terminal by bus.

On Denver’s runway 17R, the aircraft’s left main gear collapsed during the landing roll.

An accident involving a Ryanair B738 in Frankfurt on January 29, 2019, in which a gear strut entered the wing during retraction, may have been linked.

A left main gear collapse occurred during the landing roll of United Airlines flight 2429, a Boeing 737-800, N87513, on December 22, 2019, at around 7:00 PM MST at Denver International Airport (KDEN), Denver, Colorado.
