I agree with Mr. Kahn that the fuselage could not be sufficient pressurized at 2800ft to blow the tail of as happenend with the JAL-aircraft...
The sounds might indicate the rupturing of the vertical stab, considering as of that moment no control could be regained.
Fatigue of the materials then?

I disagree with the possibility of wake-turbulence, for 2 minutes behind a departing aircraft won't lead to such an excess in damage...it would be more probable behind an aircraft in landing config, but that's not the point....

Strange situation....somebody blamed martians...may-be??
