Tend to agree with what you are saying.
On the other hand, if I bought an a/c back in that state, then I would have to admit I have some serious issues to confront. Baring in mind the HS series a/c are built like tanks, something pretty serious has occurred to bend that a/c into that shape.
What is even more troubling, if true, the crew did not find it necessary to report the incident. This is a crime in itself.
