MahatmaKote is almost right with his analysis, apart from a centre-of-gravity matter. If the CoG is closer to the tail than nose, the acceleration of the nose after initial impact will be greater than 2*g.
Which of course is not to say that the impact force at the nose, as it hit the ground, was in the region of 2g.
