I take it you didnt read the article.
"The airplane suffered substantial damage to the front gear and both wings, both main gear struts collapsed."
Happy to hear everyone got out safely

Ministry of Truthiness*?
Ministry in talks over Lion Air accident
The Transportation Ministry was discussing with the National Transportation Safety Committe (KNKT) over Boeing 737-900's skidding at the Soekarno-Hatta airport in Tangerang on Monday.
According to state news agency Antara, the Director General of the Air Transport Herry Bhakti was leading the closed meeting that was also attended by representatives from Lion Air and officers from the airport.
“We hold the meeting to find the causes of the accident,” head of the airport administrator office EA Silooy said.
Previously, the KNKT's chairman Tatang Kurniadi said that the committee had categorized the skidding as an accident following structural damages of the airplane.
“The KNKT have dispatched four investigators --- Frans Wenas, Tumenggung, Nurcahyo and Sulaiman --- to collect data and do some preliminary investigations to the location,” he said.

Local Media Coverage
Both the Jakarta Globe (English Language) and the Media Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesian Language) newspapers running the same photo of the MD-90 on the runway. The photo shows PK-LIL off the runway.
The news article "Close Call as Lion Air Jet Skids and Spins: A Lion Air airplane flying from Makassar, South Sulawesi Province skidded off the runway at Soekarno-Hatti International Airport on Monday, but no passengers were injured during the terrifying ordeal. It was the latest in a string of incidents within the countries troubled aviation industry.

Local News Video
Local news are showing live video of passenger evacuation - passenger on board using mobile telephone for video capture. From the footage, it shows at least 30% of the passengers bringing their carry-on bags off the plane. 
Even better is the picture of the flight attendents running ahead of the passengers to safety - clearly not waiting to ensure pax safely off the plane.
In the footage, there is significant rain, with reduced visbaility and standing water on the active runway from which the plane departed. Nose gear looks to be down but heavily damaged.
From news timing could not be worse - second aviation incident for Lion Air (24 Feb 2009 - no front landing gear) in as many weeks - just as the Indonesian CAA was petitioning for access to Europe - looks like that may be delayed.

Lionair fleet ugprade
It was being touted that Lionair will discard all old MDs and be an all B-737-900 carrier ..
Just when I thought that they purposely crashed the MD80, they prove me wrong with a 737-900 also going down.
If I am not mistaken, Lionair was the launch customer for the 900 series, and has the largest order for the type..

Things are getting back to normal in Indonesia. ExpressAir landing before the threshold in Fak-Fak, Garuda landing on a taxiway in Palembang, Batavia off track from Jakarta to Pontianak, Lion Air nose gear problem in Batam and now Lion again making the news...unfortunately something serious will happen soon...
Time to refresh the information here … again:- Managing threats and errors during approach and landing.

I agree, the pic is not a 73X
Like a response from Microsoft support, your answer is technically correct...
However, AS was the offical launch customer of the 900 back in 1995. Just to pick nits, Lion Air was the first customer for the 737-900ER (Extended Range), with an order for 30 aeroplanes. That was circa 2005.
