The crew of another aircraft reported the nose wheels were pointing sidewards and the aircraft would go nowhere for a while. The aircraft received damage to both nose tyres and nose wheels.
Passengers reported the landing was rather rough, after touch down it felt like the aircraft was going over speed bumps. A while after coming to a stop the crew announced the nose wheels had turned sideways causing the bumpy landing. The passengers disembarked onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal.
