My theory is the after body was ripped away from the VS on impact, not the other way around. Either that or the horizontal separated downward in flight ripping the after body away from the vertical. The spoiler was ripped forward if extended, or upwards if retracted. A belly flop would be consistent with a stowed spoiler.
