I wonder if the aircraft is repairable, or will they just take parts to fix another
airbus ?? Probably "strike damage".... altho the left landing gear looks ok !

This is why you don't pop the clutch on an Airbus!

But very sad about the fatalities...
 
Looks like a write off, Insurance anyone? Heard 2 versions, one it jumped it's chocks, other it was not chocked..
 
Actually I've seen similar put back together. The problem is how much of the aircraft is "glued" together - that being carbon fiber structure. It would look like the front fuselage will have to go back in a jig to say the least. I guess we'll find out soon enough if its going to be a write off.
 
Yeah that looked like one hell of a ride scraping along at 45 degrees down the deflector wall. Can you imagine the "Oh $hits" that must have been screamed while that was going on? Man are they lucky.
 
I read they were 3 min into an all engine run-up prior to delivery. It is a complete hull loss according to Etihad. I guess now the insurance company owns what is salvageable.
