Before we all become self-appointed NTSB experts looking at the state of the aircraft as recovered, one ought to remember that post ditching this aircraft has been bumped into / pushed / towed by numerous boats. Then been tied up to a pier with the right wing under the pier (stuck in the mud?), for 48hrs+, with a 3-4K reversing tide, then dragged out, and picked up by a crane

I think given all that, it looks in remarkable good nick - never mind the ditching

NB The Fwd cargo door seems to have been opened in a normal type manner i.e. fairly undamaged?
