No, destroy just sets a special flag on the disks of the pool that tells
"zpool import" to ignore them unless -D is specified.  Creating a new zpool
on one of the disks did effectively destroy that one, as it writes new
headers onto it.  If you do "zpool import -D", it may see the remaining
disk that you didn't create a new zpool on top of, and allow you to import
it.  If it doesn't show up, you may need to also use "-d <dir>" to specify
where to look for devices.
