737 Lands Hard, Front-Left Nosewheel First

There is not much to say other than wow, that must have been a hard and very unique landing. As the title indicates, it was a left nosegear wheel first landing, like a fatty riding a small unicycle. Apparently the landing put a little too much pressure on the airframe, and this is the result. Too bad no video has surfaced of said landing. All the we know so far is that this incident occurred on a Air Algerie Boeing 737-800 flight from Paris (Flight #AH1143) when it landed at Setif Ain Arnat (DAAS/GSF) in Algeria.

I'm sure a good A&P could buff this little problem away, don't you think?
