wasn't RIVET AMBER assessed to be an airframe problem leading to its loss?
Not that anyone knows exactly what happened to Rivet Amber anyway, but that airframe managed to bring the crew home despite the turbulence encounter...it was only when it was flown again despite visible damage to a known weak area that it mysteriously disappeared...

One trusts that all 707 derivatives had the fin attachment mod some decades ago?
