Still apples and oranges: the Barcelona accident happened immediately after touchdown at high speed (80+ knots). Not comparible in any way with this incident, which (judging from the photographs, e.g.
this one) happened at a very low taxi speed: the nosewheel of the airplane has barely left the concrete surface of the taxiway, and there seems to be no damage whatsoever.
