Thanks Kulver!

The piece of wreckage that appears about 15 minutes into the start of the feed looks like a turbine shaft. It had to be something catastrophic to cause such disintegration of an engine (or APU ?) and the bending of the shaft (ground impact alone would not have done that, neither an engine failure). A mid-air still looks plausible.
