FWIW, probably best not to get into speculative details. Media may be watching and we may not be correct.

Pure uninformed speculation: probably uncommanded nosewheel swerving. To my knowledge they never confidently determined what was causing that. Maybe right main l/g collapse, never seen a main l/g bent outwards like that.
I'm gonna choose to focus on the fact that, once again, the mighty 145 crashes without hurting/killing anyone. Get em slimbraer.

Looks more like someone landed with the parking brakes on. Also looks like it spun sideways when leaving the runway and collapsed the gear to the right.
Landing with the brake set has occurred in the past for this plane. XJT.
