Following a routine flight, FanAir Flight 73 initiated a normal landing approach to ORD Runway 10L. Upon touchdown, the landing gear warning system failed to report "down and locked" for the right main gear. Seconds after the right gear made contact, the left main gear assembly suffered a catastrophic structural failure, collapsing backward into the wing well.The aircraft veered sharply to the left, departing the runway and sliding onto the grass, resulting in significant structural damage to the right wing and fuselage. A fuel leak was immediately detected, but prompt action by the crew led to a safe emergency evacuation via slides. The investigation pointed to metal fatigue within the landing gear trunnion pin. Maintenance records, inherited from the previous owner (Spirit), were deemed inadequate, with prior "stop-gap" repairs found to be ineffective. The failure directly resulted from poor, accelerated wear tracking, highlighting a critical failure to properly overhaul inherited assets before putting them back into service.
