Dunno, nothing much the tower can do to make the nosewheel not get
lowered.

Yeah, unless the media have screwed the story completely, it does appear

Presumably we will get the details officially eventually. They were
talking about a week or so for the basic stuff so maybe there will be
some detail released relatively soon.
