VS damage surely strongly points to it not being completely separated in flight (such that it would surely have slammed into the ocean on its own at high speed at arbitrary angle), that it was still attached to some structure with more mass/inertia than itself, that it was still pointing upwards-ish at impact, and that there was forward speed.
