Agree, while looking at the abort procedure in NATOPS (flight manual), there is warning about any damage to the engine bay could test the integrity of the airframe. Above all the guys are ok, hope the pods are just covered by soot and not damaged, they're pretty $$$.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Did they engage the BAK 12?

Surely a dollop or two of spackle will see it as good as new.
