Since it looks like most of the braking force came from the nacelles, which will (with the bypass ducts) have deformed quite a lot on touchdown, it’s possible the primary airframe damage will only be the tail drag.

That said, the LOT 767 that landed in similar fashion at Warsaw Chopin some years ago was a hull loss.
