Accident: Iceland B752 at Keflavik on Feb 7th 2020, main gear collapse on landing

An Icelandair Boeing 757-200, registration TF-FIA performing flight FI-529 from Berlin Tegel (Germany) to Keflavik (Iceland) with 166 people on board, landed on Keflavik's runway 10 at 15:46L (15:46Z) but suffered the collapse of the right main gear. The aircraft came to a stop on the runway resting on its nose gear, left main gear and right engine. The passengers disembarked onto the runway and were taken to the terminal. There were no injuries. Passengers reported the aircraft bounced on landing, on second touchdown the right main gear collapsed and the aircraft skidded on the engine releasing sparks and smoke from the engine. A passenger video off the left hand windows shows the aircraft touched down smoothly, the spoilers deployed, the aircraft bounced slightly (probably without the wheels becoming airborne again), smoothly came down a second time, then the right main gear collapsed and the spoilers retracted. Another passenger video, only available in time lapse so far, off the right hand windows shows the aircraft touched down smoothly, the right wing may have lifted a bit, the right main gear possibly became airborne for a bit, touched down again smoothly and the aircraft sank further on its right main engine now with sparks coming off the engine cowl (editor's note: user Ruan/Ruan60989131, if you read this, we'd be interested in the full normal time video including approach and roll/skid out, please contact me via the contact form below). On Feb 8th 2020 The Aviation Herald received information that the gear of the aircraft had been replaced mid January 2020. There was no damage to the right main gear, however, a bolt holding the gear mechanism together was missing (see photo below). On Nov 19th 2019 the aircraft had positioned to Kelowna,BC (Canada), remained on the ground in Kelowna until Jan 6th 2020, then positioned to Keflavik via Seattle,WA (USA). On Jan 9th 2020 the aircraft resumed service and had flown about 70 sectors since.
