Some are guessing the Franklin did something to piss off these aliens. Perhaps the Franklin landed to set off the chain of events. Then you have a mostly intact ship.
*Spoilers* U.S.S. Franklin Design?

Cestus III all over again!
She's just too small to hit, in the trailer she's evading everything from the swarm because they're turning arc is too wide. If they swing out and regroup, she's already moved.
It's possible the Franklin crew made planetfall and tried to rescue the other prisoners years ago, getting killed or captured in the process. It could have kicked off Krall's hatred of humans.

It's everyone guesses of why the Franklin is there on the planet. I'm thinking that she came up on the planet suddenly, hit her brakes, but was going to fast to pull up and crash, killing all on board and end up burying herself into the ground.
Later, Krall and his people shown up with their slaves and begin mining the the planet and also set up a fake distress call to draw unsuspected ships into a trap.

After reviewing my recent comments above regarding the Franklin I gotta say, I was obsessing. No way that thing is that ship. Perhaps a building built in the shape of a ship that did crash there, (Yorktown?) or not. We'll see soon enough.

The Dubai set photos show the edge of the Franklin's saucer crashed into a park area, at an angle. It looks like she just pitches right in and crashes.
The object in the trailer is just a building in the center of the city and totally different in shape, colour, scale, design and external markings.

I'm inclined to think that this idea holds water. Enterprise pick up a distress call, warps in, ambushed by hornets.
Part of me thinks the dialogue in the last trailer about losing themselves in space, when it's just them, their crew and their ship, may be the station's Commander talking about the disappearance of the Franklin and maybe a violation of the Prime Directive? Maybe finally not seeing Kirk getting reprimanded, but a reflection on a screwup by the Franklin and her crew?
I made a compilation of a bunch of shots of the USS Franklin from concept art, trailer screencaps, internal sets, and fan-made artwork if anyone wants to use it:
Nice pictures though a few of them seem to have no relation to Franklin, i.e. theI made a compilation of a bunch of shots of the USS Franklin from concept art, trailer screencaps, internal sets, and fan-made artwork if anyone wants to use it:
Enterprise dish entering the atmosphere in flame.
It could be, I took that as her talking about the loneliness of space especially on a long term mission and especially for the ships Captain. I don't think the Kelvin will be mentioned at this point, I think she was giving Kirk a pep talk as it fits with his speech of joining up on a dare.
Agreed - feel it's Kirk's superior telling him what he's feeling is normal. Step back n see the bigger picture especially with that 3D image of the galaxy lol
Small cross section of the Franklin here

well at least we now have confirmation that the Franklin was a prototype to the NX-class. "The First ship to reach warp 4" which means this ship was launched what? late 2140s? i need to rewatch the enterprise episode "First Flight" again.
I'm not sure we should take everything from the poster as 100%. It's a nice poster, but is Popular Mechanics an official source?
According to Memory Alpha, the NX Project was an attempt at breaking Warp 2. The project was in 2143. So, as the Enterprise was the first Warp 5 ship in 2151, I can narrow the Franklin's launch between 2143 and 2151.
Well can we at least agree that the Franklin is hella alot smaller than the Enterprise? It's like looking at a folkswagon beetle next to a monster truck.
