If that were the only damage, it might be repairable, but I suspect the forces from such a massive thrust to rip the gear out of the structure will have deformed a heck of a lot of important things like the main bulkheads. Then it landed on its belly, still pretty hard, to do more damage. Pretty impressive that the fuselage structure held together! > The rare glimps into the internal structure of the inner flap is quite > informative.
