Re "no damage", if that's official then I would suspect the right-wing-low attitude the aircraft appears to be resting at is the result of a combination of slight downhill gradient (although in another photo there doesn't appear to be that much gradient), the fact that the airplane is pointed slightly left and that the right gear may be sunk a bit more than the left. The right wing appears very close to the ground. The nosegear appears to be on the surface of the overrun area. I see by the windsock there is still a strong north-ish wind, 15-20+kts.

Yes indeed, great photos - I would wish for such superb photography of every accident site so we could get a "lay of the land" so to speak.
