This picture was taken by somebody on a plane landing on 09
So the runway is on the left of the picture
The debris bield starts a little to the right of the picture, where the end cone is, and goes on for more than 8 hundred meters to the left of the picture, towards the south west corner of the airport perimeter fence
That would mean that the Vertical Stab would be close to the beginning of the debris field
Strange.
That wouldn't really fit to the Cartwheeling theory:
In that case I would expect a wing Tip to initiate the trail. And the Tail should be found close to the end of the debris trail.

High AoA Tail hitting first:
Would have to be an EXTREMELY high AoA at first contact. Would require speed <100 kts. Doesn't really fit to a Debris Trail going on for another 1/2 mile.
