To me, that damage doesn't look major.

Given the SOLAS requirement, that ship shouldn't have sank.

The damage is major. I don't see how you can look at the pictures
available and see otherwise.

As far as SOLAS...no ship is unsinkable. You can't write a regulation
that will prevent a ship from sinking. What they are requiring is that
the ship stay afloat long enough to evacuate the passengers and crew.
