Seems they had a similar incident in BCN with a 737 during landing in heavy weather. Aircraft was written off.
Glad nobody was hurt
You are comparing apples and oranges, and your facts are wrong. That BCN accident did not happen in heavy weather; it was due to a mechanical failure of the nosewheel steering mechanism, caused by a birdstrike. The only similarity is the colour of the airplanes.
