jehrler;
Sorry, should have titled it- it is an amateur photo taken of the BOAC 911, B707 which broke apart mid-air due turbulence over Mt. Fuji on the 5th of March, 1966; the information on the web indicates that the tail broke off towards the end of the vertical, flat-attitude descent; the photo illustrates what many would call a "flat-spin" but I would characterize as a "brick" because the airplane isn't "spinning" in a way most think of as a spin. The main factor is, the airplane is fully stalled; you can see the "lumpy", turbulent air above the wings, made visible possibly by the vaporizing fuel pouring from the wings or condensation caused by the very low pressure above the wings as "the brick" fell vertically. Bit clinical I know, but those are the dynamics.
