I have always been amazed at how small the wheels assembles are relative to the plane size. Can see it as a marvel of technology also.

Lowered suspension for better cornering? [sly]

 

Could it be the hydraulic system collapsed? Always wonder those crane when hydraulically jacked up will suddenly collapsed? Any safety fail-proof features?

 

A330 collapsed.

An engineer was on aboard the SIA plane doing some checks when it happened. So, it could be screwed up check. Press wrong button or some locks not in place before checks.

Expensive damage.

 

Something like this also happened to EVA....

SINGAPORE: The nose gear of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane retracted on Sunday morning (Oct 11) at Changi Airport Terminal 3, causing the plane to tilt forward.

In response to queries, SIA said the nose gear of the aircraft retracted while the aircraft was at Gate A17 undergoing a landing gear system check at around 8am on Sunday morning. At the time of the incident, there were no passengers or crew on board, but one one engineer was on the aircraft.

The engineer was not hurt, added the airline.

SIA said the Airbus A330-300 is registered as 9V-STG, and had last operated flight SQ835 which arrived in Singapore from Shanghai at 12.49am. The aircraft was next due to have operated SQ890 to Hong Kong on Sunday morning.


However, another aircraft was used for that flight due to maintenance being carried out on the plane involved in the incident, said the airline. According to online flight schedules, SQ890 was scheduled to depart at 7.35am on Sunday morning, but took off instead at 8.18am.

"We do not have details of damage to the aircraft at this point. An assessment will be carried out after it is removed from the gate," said SIA. "Singapore Airlines will be co-operating fully with the authorities in their investigations."

Photos sent to Channel NewsAsia on Sunday showed the nose of the plane tilted downward on the tarmac of Changi Airport next to an aerobridge, and the photos appear to show that the front door of the plane was torn off.

Think engineer bypassed the landing gear interlock then pressed retract button. Poor fella's heart probably skipped a dozen beats as he felt the plane bow to earth.
