lomapaseo, PJ2
Yes, there was quite a discussion before on the mobile crew rest (MCR), which posts have been deleted, including mine, one of which gave the link to the similar MCR on the 340 now reposted by PJ2. Thanks for that.
In the previous posts it was confirmed by a fellow poster, obviously in the know, that MCR on Air France's 330's are positioned below deck at the hight of the 3L/R doors just aft of the wing box.
The debris photo of part of the MCR outside panel as reposted by lomapaseo seems to show heavy underside damage, possibly caused by this part coming loose from the structure that is locked in the floor of the hold.
Just as lomapaseo theorises that this supports inflight break up, I'm still there with a theory of a low vertical and horizontal speed (mostly) intact, tail first impact (making the V/S breaking away, while damaging the rudder base), followed by a further deceleration in which the a/c broke aft of the wings, releasing the cargo container there (inter alia).
Obviously the real and heavily filled cargo containers crushing the MCR, allowing the part on the photo to break free.
Just trying to see what could have happened.
