Is it just me or does the nose and cockpit have more holes in it than when it was raised??

Ice impacts while it was sitting in the water waiting to be raised!

Ice impacts, boat impacts, sea wall impacts, Hudson River bottom impacts, misc. debris, improper handling while they were trying to wrestle her when the Hudson current was taking out to the Atlantic!

They could raise more money if they also auctioned off the name and address of the passenger who freaked and opened the back door that caused her to sink!!!!

Most of it looks to me like damage from rescue and salvage boats. But I'm curious: What is "proper" handling for an airliner floating down the Hudson River in the middle of the winter?

With that current, toss the anchor before it passes below the Verrazano Bridge.
