I have flown quite a bit on Cessna 421 and 414s (which have the same landing gear as this Conquest) and I assure you that those landing gears can take a lot of abuse! As long as the props don't touch the runway you are good to go... The nosewheel obviously suffered some damage (broken torque link maybe?) but maybe it was an easy fix.
The runway is 950m long according to B2N2s Wikipedia link, plenty enough for this plane. My guess would be that out of this unusually steep approach the pilot flared a little late or just not aggressively enough.
