It's ok though because they made it back on to the runway (after crossing a taxiway) and then just taxi'd to the gate.

Substantial damage, by the look of the underside of the fuselage.

Re: Airbus off runway in Vilnius
Decision to continue taxi probably caused more damage to the engines.
Considerable side loading on the gear as well.
Nice example of weathercocking.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business
