Hellsbrink:
VS broke off in a FORWARD direction......... I do hope that was a mistranslation.
SLF here and I have a few 'common sense' questions because I do not see a problem with the VS having come off with forward movement:
1. Would it be correct to assume that the plane did not fall quite like a brick, i.e. at a right angle, into the ocean?
2. That some forward momentum sheared the VS's attachments, these emerging as weak points at the moment of impact because of uncommon forces acting on it?
Thank you
