I worked in the sheet metal shop at Beale from April 1966 until February 1969 and unstarts were a way of life. They would crack and bend stiffeners and angles in the nacelles.
I didn't know they would cause that much structural damage.

I even replaced a cockpit liner after an extremely violent un-start. The pilots helmet hit it so hard it cracked.
Yikes
