Looks almost like ants...
What do you think happened? Water in the electronics?

Dig a bit and you'll find a link to a news report that cites a blocked
fuel line.

Probably a honking big fuel line.

Looks like a frenzy!
Reminds me of an old SNL skit that involved diving goggles and flippers

In my first job, many sun orbits ago, I worked in a place that made transformers.
One day we got a few transformers back from the Navy with the request if
those could be 'refurbished'.
It so happened their engine room flooded, and the thing
had been under sea water for ? must have been a long time.
Just the sight of those things, all white, looked like salt had accumulated on those.
Dunno whatever the factory did with them, probably total loss and made new ones.
Those were BIG transformers, size of a small table.
