Looking at Jeroen Akkerman's photos showing multiple perforations which created a colander effect on much of the skin I'm surprised there was so much fuel left in the tanks
The pictures show the outer wing, which is outside of the fuel tanks. You can see the corrosion preventing compound (that orange-brownish stuff) on the primed structure, which is not used in tanks as it would be washed away by the fuel.
