You can see where it deforms the skin as it travels backwards, with obvious deflections around the frames. It might have just left a big gouge, but when it hit the static pressure assembly, it ripped that and the associated skin out. There was a lot more more simple skin to hit than electronic or air data gubbins, so that chicken was not having a good day.
