And -- it has been said upthread that the wing was damaged during the incident. How did anyone know that that had happened? And how will a anyone be able to determine the full extent of that damage when this huge aircraft is sitting outside with no proper facilities for inspection and work?
Mark 1 Eyeball is probably how they found the initial damage.

Further detailed inspections will reveal what type of repair is required. This may involve some NDT work (Ultra sound, X-Ray etc) which will require specialist equipment and inspectors.
