Nice how the pilot kept the nose up as long as he could, and until the plane had slowed down.
An encouragement to do so is that the runway is approximately 2 feet under one's backside!
Really a very untraumatic event for an aeroplane. Damage will be minimal- just repair a few panels and stringers and bang the thing back out on service (might be an idea to remember to repair the original undercarriage fault though).
