They didn’t, had a look at the leg, it had a crack where the chromed part of the strut met the axle, the crack had been there a while in my opinion, so under braking it failed. By 9 am it was sitting on a replacement undercarriage leg in the hangar, though possibly simply just a slave unit.

All the other aircrew at the airport got the day off 😎 I wonder how they managed to break the gear off like that?

Great photos! The airport was expected to re-open late Wednesday night, not sure if that happened looking at the photos.
