1) Side view of the collision:
| The hole can be seen under the (broken) funnel... It fell in that position under the impact of the collision |

| The roof at the stern has been pulled off together with the starboard bulwark rail, revealing the staircase. The elevated walkway has collapsed, as can be seen here. |
