Just for the record, the A-320 has had several nose wheel oscillation problems, both during takeoff and landing. Indeed, probably the most publicized was the Jet Blue incident where it rotated 90 degrees during approach, leading to a very well flown touch down and rollout. I believe the most recent incident has been on a Vueling 320 this year.
And my point is.....I am not suggesting that this has any relevance whatsoever with the Cochin incident, however it might of been in Abu Dhabi...not sure about being 'blown off the runway' or a 'sudden sideways gust' however.
