Video: Spent Fuel Pool of Reactor Unit 3 at Fukushima Daiichi, 8 May 2011
[The Unit 3 spent fuel pool is completely wrecked and radiation levels are very high, lending support to Arnie Gundersen’s theory that a prompt criticality event occurred.]

I don't really understand what I'm seeing here. Are these images genuine? And is there any interpretation beyond what is present in the description and comments (neither I take to be particularly reliable sources of information)? I can see a lot of twisted metal, but what does this mean for the spent fuel in the pool?
I assume the images were taken by robot/RC camera?
