Indeed extremely lucky that the wing did not come off,the front wing bolt must have sheared (or the mounting bracket) and the main spar will be toast.If they can source another wing – and if the fuselage damage is repairable – they might be able to fly it again.

Shame – I doubt there are many chippies flying in S America.

Ouch! that looks to be an expensive repair, if indeed it can be repaired? Looking at the amount of damage to the wing, and the rippling to the fuselage skin, its not going to be a quick job.
