Until a truce is resolved, I will point out there is less evidence for either position than one in the middle. Given patent damage to CFRP tabs whilst airborne (AA587), and a similar though <fail presentation on 447, It is feasible that the VS (447) started to fail whilst airborne at the VS tabs (see photography, these fractures are indicative of side loading). On impact, whatever lateral and torsional stress did in the VS and stressed the hoop/frame joins, impact forces were sufficient to dislodge and toss clear the VS/R. On top of that, the lateral rods failed in the designed for direction. This vector (Lateral, fancy that), is further evidence of a dynamic and unwelcome airload(s). My heels are unstuck, and I suggest it is more comfortable than banging either gong.
