some questions

There are three pitot probes on the A330, according to ACARS. One on each side at the front I know. Where is the third?

Is it possible that the VS breaking away from the fuselage in extreme turbulence beyond certification limits as initial event would cause a chain of events that are consistent with the ACARS messages we know? I doubt it but the picture of the VS in one piece will certainly cause rumors. So it would be better to face them proactively, if possible.

Is the haste and big PR regarding the exchange program for pitot tubes maybe a little too much...?
