An Air Cargo Carrier Shorts SD-360, registration N367AC
performing freight flight 2Q-1611 (dep Nov 5th) from Danville,IL to Louisville,KY (USA),
landed on Louisville's runway 17L at 01:33L (06:33Z) but suffered the collapse of the nose gear and was unable to vacate the runway.

Tower instructed the next approach to go around,
then asked whether they were able to vacate the runway, the crew replied in the negative,
tower asked "was this a gear up landing" to which the crew replied "affirm".

Tower subsequently queried "do you need emergency services over there?",
the crew replied the nose gear was broken.
Runway 17L was closed.
