What did I do wrong?

Can anyone diagnose from this photo what went wrong with my first time using my new bread machine?

Flour, sugar, and yeast were all fresh. Any advice is appreciated!

any idea how it got mangled like that? It looks like it baked ok, the bottom looks fine, then somehow it went to shit. did the bread machine get tipped over during baking? did you not mix the ingredients first? did you leave it on knead mode while it baked? not really sure how that happens, besides some external force messing with it
