I listened to the 0800Z recording of their departure out of Lahore on LiveATC.net No mention is made any damage or anomaly.

Seems hard to imagine a gear up pass going all the way down to touchdown in a 'modern' airliner.

Still, some odd things happen in South Asia.

Remember the Air India crew that was low on fuel after forgetting to raise the gear on takeoff?

Boy, it's noisy in here!
