Says they had to be ‘cut from the wreckage’ , seems a drastic outcome for a landing with stuck gear!?

You’ll probably find that is true. The Fuselage probably deformed on landing and jammed the door so they had to cut it open.

Think that is ‘journalese’ as it was apparantly a fairly routine emergency landing without much drama.
