From NTSB pic's, it looks like the VS ripped off from forward starboard to aft port. Supporting pictures show the forward starboard bottom bracket (METAL) bent in an up/rearward direction. And, the aft port bottom bracket in tact, with 'ripped' composite top bracket showing direction and force of detachement.

It sure would be nice to get a better picture of that forward bottom bracket!
