What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Initial touchdown was with main gear; when nose gear made contact with runway (about 50 ft later), a slight delay occurred and then nose gear collapsed. Pilot stated that everything was normal prior to failure. ATCT tape indicated no aircraft problems prior to landing. No injuries to pilot or single passenger. Aircraft appears to have minor damage to nose gear door and both propellers were bent. Internal engine damage to be determined. Cause of nose gear failure to be determined; pending mechanic evaluation.
