At the time I visited the site, there must have been a crowd at the door. Enter Aviation Salvage Here and all I did was lock up with a Server Too Busy error. Alas. But a second try showed me this:

Description of Accident: Aircraft suffered severe bird strike event resulting in water emergency landing.
Description of Damage: Severe water damage throughout airframe. Impact damage to underside of aircraft.
LogBooks Comment: Logbooks with Adjuster Contact noted above.

The aircraft was treated with a corrosion inhibitor in the Summer of 2009.
