Though he did flare too high, it appears to me he did catch one of the arresting cables, but it broke.
 
Yes. it looks like he did. However it is quite difficult to state if the cable was of the arresting system or if it was one of the crash barrier.
 

Actually if you look at that video closer you'll notice the aircraft in your picture didn't end up on it's nose, it flipped on over onto it's back. Notice the engine folded to the side. That's the aircraft in the beginning of the video.
The aircraft standing on it's nose at the end of the video has the engine still intact with the fuselage.
