A little duct tape, a rattle can and some time with the buffer and I bet the Arabs are none the wiser.

How very unfortunate. I hope no one was badly hurt, but the condition of the cockpit looks worrisome.
Wonder if the airfram will be a write off.

I guess this was a brand new aircraft, so Airbus is going to have to eat it. Wait until they do this with an A380.

I looks like the underside of the airframe forward of the leading edge of the wing took a hit as well as the nose.

"was damaged totalled"No, just pull a nose slated for one further up the assembly line, stick it on, and it will be ready for third world service in just a few days.

It appears to have hit, and run over the top of, a jet blast deflector.
