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.

Decision to continue taxi probably caused more damage to the engines.

Considerable side loading on the gear as well.

Nice example of weathercocking.
