I guess that plane is a write off?

Could be. The frame is 32.4 years old. It did get an (extensive) cabin upgrade/refurbishment in January of this year. This could be a contributing factor in repairing the aircraft. A Delta 757-200 also [got a hard landing with a crumpled frame. See the photos. That frame was repaired.
