A320 Hard Landing

Had a search here to see if there was already a topic about this on PPrune but couldn't find a thread so forgive me if it is old hat.
I understand there is a Thomas Cook A320 in the MYT hangar at MAN that had suffered a hard landing. I heard that there were an awful lot of popped rivets and that it had been in the equivalent of a drop from a hundred feet. I understand it is basically a right off but Airbus have got their crash team re-building it so it doesn't become another Airbus hull loss statistic.
Any one got any more info and also how it happened? Any Piccies?
