Would it not be more likely that the Vertical stab together with the empennage be found in the bay if the engine would have struck the tail?
If indeed the engine came loos at the pylons but be otherwise still intact the DC10 scenario seems plausible. However, in this case, first reports state that the power plant suffered an uncontained blade separation literally shredding its interior. In my opinion, this would present a different outcome of the engine trajectory.
