THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED IN A STEEP NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE AND THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO ARREST THE HIGH RATE OF DESCENT PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN. THE AIRCRAFT FLARED BUT LANDED HARD EVIDENCED BY THE TOPS OF THE LANDING GEAR LEGS CONTACTING THE AIRCRAFT SKIN AT THE FUSELAGE AND THE TAIL CONE HAVING WRINKLES IN THE SKIN NEAR THE AFT CABIN BULKHEAD ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. AT THIS POINT, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND AT SOME POINT IN THE ROLL-OUT, THE NOSE GEAR WAS OVERLOADED BREAKING THE AFT RETRACT CYLINDER ATTACH POINT ALLOWING THE NOSE GEAR TO COLLAPSE.
