New theory
Regard one little piece of all of this, something occured to me. I wonder.
I'm thinking the 'twist to the left' component indicated for the fin-failure in the preliminary report might simply result from a deflected rudder at the moment of impact. A deflected rudder would impose a twisting force on the base. A deflected rudder could also be one of the factors in where the freed fin traveled after impact. Of course there are definitely other possibilities for the twist.
frequency change(i.e., not fishing for dialog, i'll just drop-off the card and go do my other things)
