The image Machaca posted from ANA shows top cover attached, and exhibiting the results of "rapid expansion" of contents. It is higher resolution, but does not show as extensive display of dripping electrolytes on front cover.
The JAL (APU) BATT shows evidence of a pry tool to remove damaged top cover.
(Anyone able to report on the health and whereabouts of the injured firefighter?)
From RR_NDB....
"I think Machaca put a "lighter" scenario on Japan incident. Question: The battery case cover is flat or has the geometry showed in the picture of destroyed main battery?"
Another thank you to Machaca for such helpful imagery...
