Default GLA25T Gear Collapse at Telluride?

Article: Movie Pictures | Movie Posters - Yahoo! Movies (don't know why it comes up under yahoo movies, story is "no-injuries, hard landing at colorado airport").

Seems to correspond on Flight Aware with GLA25T.

Yahoo is horrible. I don't care what their stock says otherwise.
Happy no one was injured.

That wouldn't have happened if they had only been operating under 135 with a low-time FO.

It's summer, so I'm sure they had min fuel.

When you have an emergency, you go to the best airport at place in time, not where it's convenient for the company.

Makes sense, I guess they probably found out about it as they were making the short approach
