The two photos in the row above are taken in July 2002. When compare them with the two photos on the right and below, you can see how much it has collapsed. While the fuselage was damaged (the small holes in the side), it was structurally strong and one could walk through it. On the inside it looked and felt like an airplane, while it is possible to still craw through it, it has lost it's "feel." An interpretive sign was placed at the crash site, which was something that was needed so that hikers could learn the true story of the crash, it would have been nice if they had also reinforce the fuselage after removing the bulkheads.
