Nosewheel landing gear dislodges and hits engine

A Capital Airlines Airbus A320-214 traveling from Beijing-Capital Airport (PEK/ZBAA) to Macau Airport (MFM/VMMC) diverted to Shenzhen Airport (SZX) after sustaining severe damage in an apparent hard landing at Macau Airport.
The aircraft departed Beijing Airport at 00:17 UTC (08:17 LT), bound for Macau. Reports indicate that the nose wheel bogey broke away during an attempted landing at Macau Airport at 03:15 UTC (11:15 LT) and one of its gears detached and hit a engine. After declaring a Mayday the aircraft performed a go around and entered a holding pattern before the flight was diverted to Shenzhen where it landed safely at 03:58 UTC.
