Middlepath,
MAS did a similar, if not better, job of scraping the tail in London a few years ago. The two APU access doors separated, damaging both tailplanes, and also setting off the APU fire alarm, as in this case with SQ. The rear pressure bulkhead was also damaged, and the aircraft was out of the air for months.
