So, are we looking at a UAS event causing false inputs into the STS? This puts in a nose down trim, the pilots counteract with nose up elevator. Without any throttle reduction the aircraft accelerates to high speed until something snaps. As no other separate floating debris field has been found, and a near vertical dive, I suspect it was the stab trim screw jack that gave way at the end.
