The pictures of the radome show some marks & evidence that lightening strike & radome separation shouldn't be discounted.....if it had indeed been blown off by such a strike it would have had an interesting disruptive affect too on the sensors that measure AOA & pitot static pressures ...
Lightening in this region is some of the strongest I have ever seen.
