I think I heard the other day that it is a write off, but that may just be gossip.
If the accident/incident happened on 13L with a southeasterly, I could easily understand how something like this could happen.
In addition to the usual lift/sink on short final you get a little turbulence just before you set down from the warehouses to the left. If perhaps you were a little fast as well, you might easily find yourself in a bounce/float heading anywhere but where you should be heading. Done it myself when I was new to Cessna's....but the aircraft was repaired
Hope the only damage is to pocketbook and he/she gets back in the saddle.
