That’s sad, but it’s easy to see how that happened. Of course the accident investigation will reveal all. I used to fly the Lear 35 (the aircraft with the failed gear). It is a fun but squirrelly little airplane. One of your main landing gear failing at high speed, it would be very difficult to react in time, and even if you did exactly the right thing it might not be enough to keep you on the runway.
