Until we know what went down it's tough to judge...No one is concerned with the way the roof crumbled?

I can't stop looking at how the windshield looks crumpled rather than shattered.

maybe there's some protective film on that as well, which makes it look like that?

Doesn't look like OEM wrapping - you can see it's in thin strips - it looks like it's track armour tape(or something similar). Leads me to believe it was put on intentionally before a track day.

I wonder what the carbon fiber would’ve looked like. That stuff doesn’t crumple 🤔No one is concerned with the way the roof crumbled?

Modern windshields have a laminated layer in between it to help prevent shattering and having bits of glass flying into occupants. Though with the amount of dust that appears to be on the car it's hard to see any spidering as even on the obviously crushed corner it's not the easiest to see.
Lots of carbon splinters. Carbon sheeting is strong as a structural item with known stresses but sucks for single point stress impacts. Ex. A carbon bicycle can handle 10ft table top drop offs with rider but can shatter falling over from the wind onto a curb from only its own weight.
Times must be slow for something like this to be news.

I’ve never seen something this under wraps
That’s because someone is trying to make an insurance claim 😂

I recall a day after I saw news that the first BRZ/FRS were being delivered, there was another story of the first one being wrecked.
this isn't unique to a slow day. it happens for every high profile car.
this is probably accurate, or they are trying to keep the story for themselves, since this story is going to cost them a lot.
