KL B733 Damaged in Thunderstorm

"A KLM Boeing 737-300, registration PH-BDC performing flight KL-1797 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Munich (Germany), encountered severe turbulence while approaching Munich. The crew managed a safe landing at 17:27 local (15:27Z), no injuries occured.

The return flight KL-1798 however had to be cancelled due to nose damage.

A line of thunderstorms stretched from east to west between Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Munich at the time of the arrival of KL-1797.

hmm. Both flightstats.com and klm.com show that KL1798 arrived early in AMS today. In other words, not cancelled or even delayed.
