Thinking of what good thing there is about this bad thing, the damage as in the crushed glass absorbed the potentially worse damage if the hull had been stiffer there, maybe something else would have busted on the inside which might be hard to see. I am thinking like a crumple zone on a car, it yielded in the area and it protects the rest of the hull. If the damage had been hidden like a cracked hull or broke tabbing on the inside you might not have noticed till a long time later and you would always wonder what happened.
Other than that, could there have been a layup void in the glass. Hard to imagine solid glass like 6 inches thick crushing that much, Just how thick is it in that spot? An inch?, a half inch? less? more?
Are those keels solid glass or hollow on the inside? Like a box.
