Also I wonder if it's possible that on the Aluminum Overcast only
one gear "really" failed and the other then collapsed because of
unusual stresses. ?


Anything's possible, but as I recall from the video, the aircraft
flopped down on the runway as a result of something happening to both
gear at the same time. You'd think if one failed, that the other would
hold things up for a time before failing itself. I don't recall that
happening. However, I only saw the video once, and might be mistaken.
