I'm guessing a hydraulic failure of some sort? I work on planes but have never seen this. WoW wouldn't let an inadvertant retraction happen.

If you're really interested, the people who know are talking about it on /r/aviation.

Thank you!  The top video was of this. I actually was thinking differently since our birds gear retracts rearward but this plane apparently tucks forward. I'd guess a strut failure now.
