 Any landing you walk away from is a good one!

Those pylons are trashed, along with the engines of course. Hard to tell from that distance but I'd say it landed on the accessory case on the engine and most of the aft cargo skin. On a 767 the fan cowls hang below the fuse. The small fire was most likely from the fuel controls being ground away. Next will be air bags to raise it then shoring and jacks.

Nice landing!!

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

After a belly landing like that, I wonder if that plane would be repaired or scraped? I know I wouldn't want to ride in it.

Hardly a "crash" landing. It was a normal wheels up emergency landing. Doesn't sound quite so exciting without the crash word in there. Looks like it worked as intended.

My bet is it will be repaired and re-licensed.  Since the magnificent pilotage did not break an engine mount -IMO as I saw the video - and thus not a wing spar, it can well be fixed.
On one of my month's Alert in Seville, Spain (B-47) I was witness to a B-47 making a landing with wheels still in the belly. Oh yes, it was intentional, not just an "OOPs Oh Shot!"  n~ The flight was in from the states, unable to get the gear down, circled around for some 8-10 extra hours and a couple air-refuelings, before the Big Bosses in Omaha agreed to a wheels-up landing. The crew was dead tired. The runway was foamed and wx was good.
That Aircraft Commander really greased it on. Just Beautiful. Navigator-Bombardier later said it was the best landing he -the AC - had ever made. JOKING!  LL~
Two weeks later, with a new set of Bomb-Bay doors and some sheet-metal work around that area, the machine got a short test flight and joined the fleet on Alert all loaded for thermonuclear War. Neat-O!
