The damage is in the second pic. The contrast in the 1st pick makes the damage look worse that it is (which is bad never the less). Or their is 16 years of dirt and sand that's filled the hole making it look less damaged. Look at NH 977224-KN for a close up of that damage in 8/86.

Of all the photos, the one of the aft end of the front half of the boat is the only one that shows damage from implosion.
They show a photo of the stern plane (looks like a waffle) and rudder. No screw. Then the caption asks you to notice how the engineroom "telescoped" forward into the machinery space. I don't see that. The part of the photo they show barely shows all of shaft alley, let alone the machinery room/engineroom.

About 20-30+ feet has been crushed inwards in that pic. What they said is basicly accurate. The gap between the section forced inwards and the "lip" of the section not gives a hint of how much has been crushed forwards.
