The wire is clearly visible hanging free with the shackle and its shackle bolt in place.
The undamaged preventer wire shackle and fastening device
<<< On each side of the ramp there was a “preventer wire” attached. It was to prevent the ramp when fully opened, from falling down on to the little forepeak deck under and in front of the ramp. The JAIC has in chapter 8.5.4, I presume based on the video recordings, come to the conclusion that the preventer wires had detached from the lugs on the ramp (6).

On the first picture taken on 9th October 1994 (7) we can see the starboard preventer wire hanging off the upper starboard corner of the opening in to the car deck, undamaged in its fastening device.
