Rainboe,

Thankyou for your interesting comments.

After looking at the pictures and applying my previous experience in such matters, I am of the technical opinion that it is f***ed.

2 engines poss write offs , other 2 engines for shop strip , 2 pylons, 4 gears , fuselage (visible damage) plus unknown damage......

$40M before you even start to think about how you are going to repair it(portable hangers etc) at Quito. Will be written off and sold for salvage (prob worth $10m ++ a good deal for the Airline and the Insurers)

Will buy you pint if I'm wrong !!!
