I remember how sad I was seeing this as well. I remember that they left it to rot on the frozen lake, where it would all sink to the bottom in the thaw. As I understood it, the fuselage was burned pretty bad, but the wings and most importantly, those running engines were fine. I'm sure the aviation folks were upset over that one.
For a more triumphant version of the same events, check out the p-38 that they dug out of 200 feet of ice and brought back to running condition.
