I've never heard of a passenger jet having a gear collapse during boarding before. Every now and then, a nose gear will collapse on landing (usually due to pilot error of hitting the nose down first,) but even that is very rare and it's even more rare for it to result in serious injury. | |

It seems unlikely it would do that just from sheer weight of people, parked at a gate. I think these people need to learn some basic physics :) | |
