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

(-23) AFTER A NORMAL APPROACH AND TOUCHDOWN TO RUNWAY 34, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (CO-PILOT) EXTENDED THE SPEED BRAKES AND ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (PILOT-IN-COMMAND) DEPLOYED THE THRUST REVERSES. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ CALLED SIX LIGHTS AND AT THAT TIME BOTH PILOTS HEARD THE GEAR WARNING HORN. THE LEFT WING BEGAN TO DROP DOWN AND SCRAPE THE RUNWAY. NEXT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. PIC THEN SKIDED ON THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 900 FEET UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP. ALL OCCUPANTS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT THROUGH THE OVER WING EMERGENCY EXIT. TWO PASSENGERS WERE CHECKED BY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AND RELEASED WITH O INJURIES. AIRCRAFT WAS LATER TOWED TO NETJETS FACILITY.
