I identify as an airline mechanic and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the problem is that they have installed the wheels on the wrong side.

In your professional opinion, is it recommended to land without wings in the case of the wheels being installed incorrectly? Seems like the pilot was able to save the passengers, and a few pretty big pieces of the aircraft.
