The leading edge slats seem to be in the deployed position on this side if that's not a result of impact damage. The trailing edge flaps is more difficult to say. On the far right end they look retracted, on the other side it is not as clear. The investigators will have more clues from the ballscrew positions. This wing has much less damage. The surf was higher as in the Hudson river and the impact was more violent, with no survivors left. The airplane was in any case too slow for a clean wing, so the investigators have to answer the question, how it came into the configuration indicated on the crashed remains.
