Greatest story ever in Taipei.
A CI 747 also got bad damaged as someone tried to raise the landing gear with the gear pin not properly installed. The result was just like the EVA air 747 at LHR but........

To put the aircraft up again they used a kind of airbags which got slid under the nose of the aircraft an inflate causing the aircraft to raise. Problem was they overinflated the airbags....... causing the aircraft to fell back on it's tail.....

Some people never learn.....
