The EK source refers to it as a technical issue right now:

The pictures are NOT mine, you can see them at:

The current photo shows what looks like a truck that's fallen over, and the instagram story uploaded by the account has a picture of the cowling itself.
Looks like the truck fell over, perhaps strong wind or poorly balanced or both. Rather embarrassing...
