Well, the black box states that only 1-25 actually launched. Maybe the other simply didn't get occupied, or perhaps as the ship titled as it crashed they became inaccessible/launched into the void.

Anyhow, only certain lifepods actually make the landing into the crater. The others land in the dead zone, where the cold and pressure immediately gets to them and they die. Of the ones that land in the crater, some land too deep and get crushed, leaving metal salvage.
