I didn't think to check when I got these pictures in if Sea Launch had decided to release some of their own. When I spoke to them the day after the explosion, they were still adamant about not showing anything, but I guess they realized it's only to their benefit to show that the Odyssey is pretty much fine.

There's actually a very small radius of destruction from a rocket explosion. The fireball is spectacular, but brief as the fuel combusts. Rocket explosions are often confused with a bomb blast, or detonation, where combustion happens very quickly and causes much more of a shock wave and the accompanying destruction. One Delta II blew up over the Cape in 1997, and the satellite stayed intact, broadcasting data until it hit the ground. Cases of oil rigs sinking usually have more to do with weather or rough seas combined with mechanical failure. Explosions can look incredible without causing a lot of damage.

There have been photos of the post-explosion Odyssey on the XM Radio fan site for three weeks.
