QANTAS hull loss - clarification

QANTAS has had hull losses (see wikipedia: Qantas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) BUT it has never lost a JET.

QF1 into BKK was deemed by many to be a write off but was repaired at great cost.

So, still no jets lost - an admirable record but it's getting some nicks lately, between a 747 undercarriage failure in Rome, 747 electrical bus failure on descent to BKK, 717 heavy landing in Darwin and now this. Oh, and a few engine fires a while back.
