The alleged 2.8'g' impact probably resulted in more than the MLG needing to be replaced, and I would be really surprised if there was not additional damage!
And if the damage is as reported then this is definitely an accident in accordance with ICAO Annex 13 definitions.
Recent reports on PPRuNe suggest that this isn't an isolated heavy landing incident event in the day-to-day operations of Qatar Airways.
I wonder if the Qatar CAA will investigate the accident and publish any safety recommendations to prevent similar accidents happening?
