"According to an Air Force Accident Investigation report, the toggle-and-link assembly in the right, main landing gear came unlocked, causing it to collapse as the plane settled during landing. The aircraft skidded to the right on its nose landing gear and right wing, until it departed the runway. Two seconds later, the aircraft flipped and rolled.
The AIB found that the installation of an incorrect pivot pin in the landing gear, along with natural vibrations of the gear, contributed to the mishap."

You can find plenty of info today. Just Google it. This incident was kept hush from everyone. Why I have NO idea. All people knew was 24 acft went to Korea and only 23 were returning. Speculation was that the acft was going to depot. As you can see that wasn't true. Deep Throat conspiracy at work. the initial report was filed in the same folder with the JFK assassination. Keep searching and all your answers can be found. FOIA....
