At far left, atop one of the containers you can see a white hemispherical VSAT antenna dome got knocked off.

It's possible that GM, being a local pilot, is in command - and has the freedom to disengage and push from other directions if necessary.Yes, I always assumed the GM was basically steering the barge, rather than just there to push. I guess they can't use the thruster pods in the river.Anyway, deck looked empty to me.If you've already eliminated hardware failure as a cause for the unsuccessful landing, what would be the value in bringing back the pieces? It'll be simpler to just dispose of them at sea after taking some pictures -- with the added advantage that there won't be pictures of the barge coming into port with pieces of a "failure" (even though we know it wasn't).
