Well, nobody ever said the mountain was vaporized, just that it was blown up. It's entirely possible that the Y-0 facility was simply built to be ludicrously durable, and thus partially survived the destruction. Of course, it's also possible that the Y-0 explosion was unrelated, and looking back, it makes more sense for the Y-0 explosion to be unrelated to Big MT becoming a crater, given that it isn't near the center. Even if it was a facility that 'got up and moved' afterward, I doubt it would have dragged the rubble containing the terminal. Of course, I also have no idea how the various facilities and laboratories might 'get up and move', so it's entirely possible the rubble may have been moved as well... blasted SCIENCE! making things complicated. o.O
