Very interesting that both mains collapsed at the exact same time. I'm
not familiar w/ the B17 design, but I'd guess that they are independant
mechanical mechanisms so I'd be suspicious of a control failure or
uncommanded or accidentally commanded retraction. I don't know if
jamming on the brakes could be a factor, but it didn't look like the
plane was moving in a manner that would have called for a sudden brake
application.
