the AA587 tail:
Not having seen this pic till today. and in the light of this latest incident, I am forced to wonder if there is any significance in the fact that the pic only shows the fin, and there's no visible evidence of a rudder anywhere. We'll never know, but did the rudder part company with the fin before the fin then separated from the airframe, or did it all come off together?

Pause for thought!
