I didn't check the above link, but the comment of one "mother" of a wind is correct.

For non-believers check the history of B-727 P4-MMG on the net.

In 1999 this a/c was in a "hurricane" at LeBorget and damaged the belly skins after being "lifted" and impalled on a fence.

All of this is in the Boeing records, but as MMG was not a "French" a/c, there was no "cover-up". P4-MMG's belly skins were replaced in accordance with Boeing's direction as required.
