Glad nobody was hurt...
Was this one of the models that had the recurring main gear saddle problems? Tom Hughes wrote: Hooks Airport, Spring TX, 2:15 PM today Cessna 210-L Landing gear malfunction.

Or did it just dangle?

They were just dangling..................
It appears as only the nose gear was down and locked.

Without hydraulic pressure the gear would be hanging straight down.
