Narrative:
The approach and touchdown in pit on runway 32 were normal. Shortly thereafter, we felt a vibration from what seemed the right side of the aircraft, followed quickly thereafter by a directional control problem causing the aircraft to veer to the left. Aircraft directional control was maintained as we stopped on the runway. An emergency evacuate/evacuation was ordered and accomplished. After inspecting the aircraft we found that the left landing gear had collapsed. During the rollout on the previous landing in mem, there was a similar vibration from what seemed the aircraft's right side. As the speed diminished during rollout, the vibration disappeared and the taxi in was normal. An appropriate log entry regarding the vibration in the right main landing gear area was made. This log entry was signed off after contract maintenance in mem inspected the aircraft.

Title: L MAIN LNDG GEAR COLLAPSED DURING LNDG ROLLOUT ON AN ACR MLG ACFT.
Narrative: THE APCH AND TOUCHDOWN IN PIT ON RWY 32 WERE NORMAL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE FELT A VIBRATION FROM WHAT SEEMED THE R SIDE OF THE ACFT, FOLLOWED QUICKLY THEREAFTER BY A DIRECTIONAL CTL PROB CAUSING THE ACFT TO VEER TO THE L. ACFT DIRECTIONAL CTL WAS MAINTAINED AS WE STOPPED ON THE RWY. AN EMER EVAC WAS ORDERED AND ACCOMPLISHED. AFTER INSPECTING THE ACFT WE FOUND THAT THE L LNDG GEAR HAD COLLAPSED. DURING THE ROLLOUT ON THE PREVIOUS LNDG IN MEM, THERE WAS A SIMILAR VIBRATION FROM WHAT SEEMED THE ACFT'S R SIDE. AS THE SPD DIMINISHED DURING ROLLOUT, THE VIBRATION DISAPPEARED AND THE TAXI IN WAS NORMAL. AN APPROPRIATE LOG ENTRY REGARDING THE VIBRATION IN THE R MAIN LNDG GEAR AREA WAS MADE. THIS LOG ENTRY WAS SIGNED OFF AFTER CONTRACT MAINT IN MEM INSPECTED THE ACFT.
