From this photo of a un-dinged one, you can see how much compressed the rear part of the fuselage is. For the landing gear to be in the bay, impact must have taken place well up near the wing. It's a miracle that the airplane stayed mostly together. Well, it's good engineering.

Where is the L-side engine?? Could it have separated and rolled into the bay farther up?
