Indeed, some resemblance....

ASN Aircraft accident Vickers 951 Vanguard G-APEC Aarsele

(A rear bulkhead blowout)

Yes, but after that incident, Bae and Airbus always put blowout panels in the tail, to stop the vertical fin being blown apart by cabin pressure. The effectiveness of these was demonstrated in the 1986 Thai A-300 grenade incident, when the rear bulkhead failed but the cabin pressure was released.

I am presuming the A-320 series also has blow-out panels in the tail?
