I find it hard to believe the forces that are involved in these incidents, IF there is nothing else wrong, particularly the American A300.
To rip off a rudder, or much worse a whole tail, from a servicable Aircraft, they must be huge.
This is an identical Airbus A310, that was towed at speed into a hangar roof at JFK, and the hangar roof won.
Despite all this damage, the tail was still firmly attached.
