The aircraft was towed off the runway about 80 minutes after landing. About 2 hours after after being towed off the runway the aircraft was able to depart for the return flight.
The airport reported the crew advised of possible nose gear problems while descending towards Dusseldorf. The aircraft landed without further incident. Ground operations had to be halted due to a thunderstorm around that time.
A passenger reported the approach into Dusseldorf was quite bumpy due to stormy weather and the touch down was quite hard. Instead of turning the aircraft off the runway the aircraft stopped on the runway, the captain indicated they needed to be towed off the runway due to damage to the nose gear that apparently happened during departure from Istanbul. Some time later the captain announced, the damage to the nose gear prevented a tow via any tow vehicle (via towbar or by lifter). The passengers disembarked via stairs onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal. The passenger believed while seeing the nose gear during disembarking that the nose gear was twisted by about 60-70 degrees.
