Well, if the nose gear gets the sort of treatment shown in those videos occasionally, it has got to fail at some point unless that gear is rather strong.

And considering that the weather that day was somewhat similar to that shown on the videos (regarding wind at least) maybe it was a bit too much stress for the nose gear to handle.
