Is this common industry/AV-geek lingo?
2L turning into an up and over garage style door appears to be a secondary consequence of the nose gear collapse. 2L was open with stairs in place when the nose gear failed. My guess is the safety pin on the nose gear to prevent retraction when on the ground wasn't installed properly.
