I would think it would take a few days for the engineering people and maybe Airbus folks to evaluate. And don't forget the insurance company!700UW said:

Unverifiable but I spoke to a tech guy yesterday and he said a prelim report was out that the aircraft hit the tail then bounced on the nose twice. If true then there might have been a over rotation hitting the tail then a over correction and bounced the nose until the gear collapsed and the rest is on the media. Too early to tell until the investigation is complete.
If the aircraft hit the tail and bounced around like a teeter toter it is probably heading for the scrap yard. Mechanical failure or pilot error? I am not going to say either way.

I was at a party tonight and thankfully no one asked me about our plane and the nose gear collapse. As soon as we got through the door, I was mobbed with questions about Malaysia Airlines MH370. That was the big topic of the night and I'm sure I'm not the only one on here to get quizzed by John Q Public.

From another forum. Your "tech guy" may be correct. It looks like a hard tail strike.1AA said:

It actually hasn't been so bad. At least I haven't heard from everyone I know, asking if I was ok.
Does anyone else find it really weird that the MH captain built a fairly sophisticated simulator in his home? 18,000+ flying hours and he wants to "pretend" fly in his spare time?
To each his own...but I find it a bit creepy.
I only wish I had the time and talent to put together a quicky mystery novel based on the scenario.
Has anyone thought about what of significant value might be in the cargo hold as a motive?
Finally, a retired AA 777 captain got interviewed on TV and set the record straight on just how little runway a light 777 really needs to land and get stopped...and it's NOT the 6500 foot number bandied around for days.

There is a thread over in the water cooler on the MH370 mystery.
