Damn, I guess Airbus needs to add a new test to their program.  Can the 
airframe survive being dropped over a concrete barrier?  I'm sure glad there 
were no fatalities.

I immediately think of a guillotine victim when I see those pictures - 
gruesome.

Amazing, it looks as though it hit it with some speed, you can see the 
scrape marks of the engine cowling as it slid along the wall
A bit of panel beating and a buff up and you'll never know it was in an 
accident

It is a blast fence I have no Idea why the jet would be facing the blast 
fence on a run up. It does not look like he went straight into the fence 
though more of an angle. To be sure next time they do a test you think 
they will point the right way?

There were probably more than one blast fence in terh run-up area.  He
likley had his engines pointed at one of them and then moved forward
to hit another blast fence.....  at a prertty good speed.

Well the pointy end needs more than a buff. I wouldn't want to be flying 
business class (or in the cockpit) of that plane.

I would imagine that the airframe is a write-off.

it might be possible that the wings and the stern section is 
salvageable ...

They need to call Red Green. A few rolls of duct tape will put her right!
