(thought this would be great to hear the WHOLE story, but unfortunately, the two Tower freq's at Boston aren't split (Left/Right)
So you never hear the flyby, all we hear is the controller on the other freq say he did a nice job)

A small plane with what officials described as a landing gear issue was seen tilted over on the ground at Boston's Logan International Airport Tuesday. No one was hurt, according to Massport.

The Cape Air plane appeared to land on one wheel, spinning upon touching down at the airport. Footage from the airport showed the plane leaned onto one wing.

Cape Air said Flight 1833 turned around on its way to Bar Harbor, Maine, after the pilot was told about an anomaly with the landing gear.

"The pilot performed the appropriate checklist and landed the aircraft back at Boston Logan Airport. There are no reported injuries," a Cape Air representative said.
First responders were there for the landing of the Cessna 402, which had two passengers and one crew member on board, a Massport official said. The plane had taken off from Boston and returned.

So, in listening to the audio, it's clear that it was Cape Air 126 that had the gear issue and not 1833 as the above news clipping reports.  KAP1833 was a flight scheduled to depart Boston at around 5:20PM but was cancelled most likely because of this incident.
