Fuel leak

Thanks for the photo!

We knew there was a massive fuel leak, and in such a way that the fuel was leaking overboard through the hole in the skin.
But now, looking at the picture, there must have been a massive internal leak as well, into the cavity behind the leading edge, there where all sorts of electrical wiring and (hot) bleed runs. Now, that's scary
