Good looking Beech Duke. Easy repair. Whether it is done will depend on if he hit the props and needs 2 engines rebuilt. Keeping it on the concrete is better than the grass. Concrete just sands away the aluminum skin, grass rips and tears.

Looks like the engines were shut down (or at least the one in the front of the picture).

The tips are still relatively straight. Still I would bet on a teardown since it would still be considered a prop-strike. Hopefully shutting down and feathering the props saved the crankshaft.
