Got home from work and the pics downloaded, but let me warn you...they are cell phone pics since I didn't have a regular camera on me at the time.
Here's the blown end of the pack, those battery bars are supposed to be bent about 100*-110* the other direction!
Here's the guts of the cell that blew, I did shake some out of the truck since they were still burning in the compartment when I unplugged the packs!
And now for the Chassis Carnage!!!!
This is a distance shot of the chassis, you can kinda see the black stuff that came out of the pack when it blew
This is a "Close Up" of the forward part of the compartment that the cell blew in
Here's the top side of the chassis at the cooling ducts, the black powder also came out of the duct was well spraying all the way up to the front body mount and partially dislodging the front duct. The stuff stuck in the grates is metal grid part of the battery's internals
