Non pro comment here.
Intriguing picture . If you click on the registration, there are other shots of the aircraft including the aftermath which shows a straight nosewheel and a comment that the aircraft was cleared by the tower (for take off?). If this occured at any great speed, wouldn't there be serious damage to the nosegear which appears to be at 90 degrees to direction of travel.
