Constructive Total Loss. Means there is still some salvage available to be sold after the Insurance companies have paid out the sum insured. As opposed to a Total Loss which is a smoking hole in the ground.

Sorry about the attitude. Just feel some of the mis-information on this site needs to be corrected. Everyone involved in this project is doing their best to get this aircraft serviceable again as soon as possible, but it is new territory for everyone - especially Airbus. Qantas, the insurance companies, Airbus etc are all working together.

There is no "twisting between the wings", or in the fuselage.
