Chick Pipped Early? Blood on shell!? Help!

Yes, the air cell was accurate. I went ahead and chipped a bit of the air cell off (like in the article) to see what was happening. The veins looked absorbed but it was making that chewing motion with it's beak so I let it be. I woke up this morning and found that it had hatched into a little black silkie overnight! It's still drying off in the incubator with a couple of it's siblings. Thank you to everyone who pitched in, especially with the article! It was super helpful and I'm definitely going to use that info in the future!

Good advice
However if you'd read through you'd know it hatched as well as almost all of the others and are doing well. Pics above...
