Fell off the crane unloading it from the ship at Newport, fell about 15 feet.

Scrap time by the looks of it.

Yep, looks like the frame has bent badly in at least two places. Perhaps some equipment can be salvaged though.

By all accounts it fell back into the ship

I'd have some negative comments to make about the incident if it wasn't a class 70...

It won't be repaired. Instead, some parts are actually being donated to a local kids playground for a see-saw. I kid you not!

When the unit is replaced will its number be 70012

No idea. But I have half a suspicion they won't want to use 70013 immediately after this...

Wonder what the first word was that was shouted

As it technically hasn't been delivered there is no reason why the next one can't have the same number.

Perhaps this could make a good Railworks add-on for use in the Doncaster Works route?
