CONF
If no thrust is immediately applied as specified by
arc-en-ciel and
A4 here and
here a scenario where only the tail cone would hit the ground is a real possibility
.
Would that correspond with the debris-pattern and the amount of destruction?
I dont think so. There must have been a lot of energy involved to destroy the hull to that amount right after first impact. And according to the statement of SB the crew initiated a goaround, which is not done without power..
The tailstrike scenario is imho out.
