Narrative:
The Boeing 767-300ER was operating a flight from Kabul, Afghanistan to Washington DC, USA with a refueling stop at Bucharest-Baneasa Airport, Romania. The captain was Pilot Not Flying for this leg while the first officer was Pilot Flying.
The flight was cleared for an ILS approach to runway 07 at Baneasa Airport. The approach flight was stabilized.
The aircraft touched down was normal (1,6G) about 650 m past the threshold of runway 07. After the nose landing gear had touched down, the left-hand main gear gave way and the aircraft began tilting to the left.
After the failure of the left main landing gear, the crew had a "Left gear unsafe configuration" warning signal followed by engine fire warning # 1. The crew stopped the engine and operated the fire extinguishing system so that the fire signal disappeared.
After the aircraft was completely stopped, the pilot-in-command ordered the evacuation of passengers and crew. This was done using the emergency exits and escape slides on the right side of the aircraft.
