Lesson learned:

Check to see if any of the screws/nutplates for the nose gear door can make contact with the nose wheel.  I removed the last couple of nutplates in that long hinge soon after I started flying for this very reason.

-nice landing given the circumstances.

Not to flood this place with youtube links, but this is something I think everyone should see.  Check out the related videos of the plane on the ground before/after the nose gear failure.
