The crew worked the related checklists but were unable to resolve the unsafe indication. The aircraft performed a low approach to have the gear inspected from the ground, tower reported that the gear was down but not in position, instead tilted aft. The crew was finally forced to land on Calgary's runway 35R keeping the nose up as long as practicable, once the nose gear lowered onto the runway the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft came to a stop on its main gear and slid on its nose. The passengers evacuated onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal. There were no injuries.

The airline reported the nose gear collapsed as the aircraft came to a stop.

The runway was closed and the airport reverted to single runway operation for about 6 hours as result of the accident.

The Canadian TSB dispatched a go-team to Calgary and opened an investigation.
