Looking at the video of the removal of the aircraft, it appears that the nose gear is not fully retracted (or extended for that matter)
I asked myself whether this earlier photo suggested that the nose gear door was open.
There was a link earlier in he thread showing the a/c being dismantled and removed showing one of the nose gear doors open.
It could of course be due to the impact but it could also mean the gear was cycling, up probably, but who knows just yet. I can't find the link now, was it deleted?
