I stand corrected. It does appear that this is an ongoing failure mode of a design issue.

Michael, I received the same photos via the internet and on the sidewall of one of the tires it was marked "jet blue" so the photos were of a jet blue plane and incident, just possibly not this one.
911/914gary,
Nice to see someone who knows landing gear operation! I am an A&P and have gone through these puppies more than I care to think about. It was easy to see that the "self centering" bits were not working correctly on this gear. Glad it has not happened to me in the air!
