Nope, it happened to just one!
If you read the report the company sent us on the basic findings (crash analysis) the LEFT main touched down something like 25 ft RIGHT of centerline. What is more amazing is that you NEVER hear the check airman on the CVR saying "more rudder" or "get on centerline". I know this was a training flight and that this particular crewmember was not liked by many but the check airmen, IMHO, should have stepped in.
I might bang it on but I'm on centerline with the proper wing down...at least that gives me the greatest chance of survival
