In the photo that Information Charles posted (close up from slightly behind the damaged area) it appears that the side of the ULD closest to the fuselage wall has gone as well.

There's an awful lot of metal and fibreglass missing from that area!

I wonder how much, if any, collateral damage there is along the leading edges of the wing/stab, and whether there was any damage to the engines as a result of debris impact.

Let's hope that an official, initial, finding isn't too long in coming - it'll help calm everyone's nerves.
