I wonder if the aircraft just came out of maintenance and something failed,

My guess is a bolt wasn't installed properly if the aircraft had maintenance a couple of days before the crash??????

Assuming things is never good as it can make you look real stupid down the track, we can speculate all we want, could have been the result of fatigue, previous hard landing, design flaw....but at the end of the day we don't know, wait until the investigators have done their job!

Remember that nose wheel that fell of -VBA in 2009 at MEL? Luckily it was only pushed back or taxiing when it happened, if I recall correctly.

NTSB Says Southwest 737's Nose Gear Hit First

From Airwise.com

Quote:

US NTSB safety investigators said the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 that crashed at LaGuardia airport on Monday landed on its front landing gear before its main gear touched down.

The National Transportation Safety board said the 737 plane pitched downward at a 3 degree angle when it landed.

The front landing gear subsequently collapsed and the plane slid for 19 seconds before coming to rest, injuring nine people, the NTSB said.

What's going on?

So in the space of a couple of weeks we've had one tail first crash landing and now a nose first crash landing. How could you end up with 3 degrees of pitch down on landing if you had even badly executed a flare?

I'll bet the CVR transcript has some choice language! :)

a video of the crash from the inside of the 737.
It pretty much went pear shaped as soon as it touched down
