## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: AS A/C TAXIED TOWARDS THE K&L "ALLEY" THE FLT. CREW HEARD A LARGE "BANG". AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION. THEY STOPPED AND HAD AALA BUSSES UNLOAD PAX. VIA THE AFT STAIRS INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE LEFT MAIN SIDE BRACE SEPARATED ON THE LANDING GEAR. ORD-FSDO AIR WORTHINESS ALSO INVESTIGATED A/C HISTORY AND REPAIR (PTRS INCLUDED). ALL PROCEDURES BY AALA WERE PROPER. NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED. INITIAL CALL FROM RCC INDICATED A POSSIBLE "HARD LANDING". THIS WAS NEVER CONFIRMED. NO INDICATION FROM PAX OR ATCT TAPES THAT ANYTHING ABNORMAL OCCURRED OPERATIONALLY. NO FAA RESPONSIBILITIES WERE INVOLVED.
