I still can't get over how little damage was done to the airframe.

Most of the damage was done on the bottom of the plane, from what I have
read. Pretty much all of the skin on the bottom of the plane is gone,
especially on the back part, with many of the structure under it also bent
and twisted, and some ripped away, also.

Still, it held in one piece, due to the smooth water and the excellent
touchdown. That says plenty.

I'd give Airbus a pat on the back, too...
