That's a bit unfortunate  I wonder if it was during landing or takeoff ? |

If the reason is as described the Korean incident in the link above - it is strange that such a thing could happen to super experienced test pilots ?
It should not be too complicated to fix.

Mistakes do happen, I guess the aircraft needs an internal structural examination to make sure no serious damage has been done ? |

We don't know whether the incident happened during some test. I however doubt this could have been a vmu test : it happens too early in the test programme, the airport would not be a location of choice for such a test, and if it had been the case, the aircraft would have been fitted with a tailskid. |
