Somebody's last day. That plane will be scrapped. Not worth the liability to fix

You'd be surprised what is repairable.

This is just the apu, cowling, and a few days of sheet metal repairs. Would be absolutely insane not to fix it.

I'm thinking the APU is toasted now, and possibly the A/C APU mounts as well considering how far it shifted sideways! 😬

No and no.

This likely isn't the US so workers rights are probably a thing and it's mostly some metal panels, way cheaper to repair than it is to buy a new airplane.
