Photo 2 of 2 (see here). This was the situation on runway 24 at Schiphol, 25 minutes after this former Air Portugal TriStar (ex CS-TEC, SE-DVF) executed a high-energy rejected Take-Off following an compressor stall in the #1 engine (see other photo). This RTO caused major damage to the landing gear, which kept it from vacating the runway. It blocked Schiphol's most-used runway for many hours. It would be three years before the aircraft would finally leave the airport. Following many years of continued storage at Vacaville, CA it was registered to TriStar History and Preservation Inc. as N91011 in Feb 2014, then to Orbital Sciences Corp. in April 2018. Apologies for the heat haze in this distant shot.
