KMS,

Repair would be the call of the insurance company, and the economic viability vs. writing off the airframe. MBB build an exceptionally strong product, witness the pictures, so it would come down to $'s and cents (or Dm's) as to the cost of replacing drivetrain, engines, jigging and repairing fuselage, repair/replace avionics, etc. The insurance company would then decide whether to repair, or pay out the insured value. If they pay out, they (the insurance co.) then own the wreck, and are at liberty to sell to an aviation wrecker, who will then be at liberty to strip and resell items from the wreck. Responsible insurers would have suspect items permanently damaged to ensure that they cannot be sold on as serviceable items.
