Analysis
The acft landed short of the rwy and collapsed the landing gear. The plt said the acft encountered a downdraft on short final approach and the application of power did not prevent the acft from contacting a 15 inch berm on the approach end. He stated that the main gear and tail gear sheared off and the acft slid to a stop on its belly.
