For my money, "why the LACK of damage to the VS LE, it's sides, and rudder TE, not even scratches to the paint" has been the most compelling question from the release of photo number one the day it was spotted from the air, and confirmed with the divers recovering it.
ventus, your money.....
there is a big damage on the rudder, like a shark bit, and if the chrash angel is more vertical than +/-45 degree the inertia energie let rotate the VS backwards to the blue sea
even the NZ paint on the VS in perpignan swam without scratches in the water, after stall............... with the same shark bit..... grity
