Other sources reported it was a flap issue, and another source reported YMX radio didn't even know about the pan pan declared in la Baie
Looks like it was a planned flaps up landing, that ended up with a gear collapse. Strange.
Asymmetrical flap deployment resulting in decision to divert and land without flaps in YMX. Shit went sideways on the roll out. Glad they managed to keep her on the runway. Something tells me this could have been far, far worse. Looking forward to reading the TSB report.
I only know the NG... but isn't it the same on the Classics? B system for flaps, A system for gear? Did they get a manual reversion (total hydraulic failure)?

Flaps run on B system. They can be lowered electrically if the B system fails.
I doubt it was a hyd failure. They have what looks like flaps 1. Slats are out and the flaps have started out. They most likely got a flap skew and they locked out. The gear is something else altogether.
