I thought the same thing until I took a closer look and saw some before and after shots.

There are several pictures of the unit upside down with the skirts in disarray and most of the craft underwater. A lot of the "pieces" of debris appear to actually be the cargo it was carrying. A quick glance might imply the craft was destroyed in the accident.

However I have also seen several pictures of the craft after it was recovered and uprighted, and it appears to be completely intact in those.

Can be a bit confusing given the angle of the first shots taken right after the wreck.....

Tragic...my thoughts and prayers for the family & friends of the deceased.
