Coffin corner
That was kind of the direction I was going.
Maybe a scenario where a malfunction got them way too fast, and then a ham-fisted recovery started various mechanical failures.
I know not applicable here, but harmonic resonance in a helicopter utterly disintegrates it in a few seconds.
I was wondering if there might be something similar with this situation.
Just another wild theory.......
