Affirmative. Saying that damage, and the damage to a perceived forward door, might be too severe to think a forward galley would survive intact. Hard to say either way.
Actually this galley is from the business class, at left hand, boarding from door 2L. It is the only one in aircraft with 5 chariots. A good part of the wreckage identified is from this part of the aicraft.

However an inadvertent spin entry from a coffin corner loss of control situation may change that port/starboard equivalence in both pitot and static - and be capable of providing the sort of speed disagreements between ADIRU's that would generate the messages sent by ACARS in the final 4 minute plummet from altitude in a spin/spiral.
Posited that a few pages back. So far unchallenged.
Interesting explanation but, so far, about 35 other A330/340 pitots probe incidents occured (discounting AF447) as reported now, at cruise level, including 9 AF flights, most triggering the same sequence of ACARS and none were actually stalling/spinning but flying strait and level. So, obivously this theory is not only challenged but already debunked. This sequence is very well documented by Air Caraibes case and its obvious cause was probes freezing. If any stall/spin occured to AF447, it was after the probes problem, and wasn't the origin but could be the consequence.
