It's interesting that the various news services seem to have taken what the airline said about this at face value, when, really, we'll have to wait for the report to find out what happened. So far, all we have to go on is images of a big pile of junk out in the desert, with that fueling the usual pages and pages of speculation here, much of it from armchair aviators.

It's also interesting that what often happens when an aircraft loses its horizontal tail is that it flips over to crash inverted, when some of the damage seen seems to show that large parts of the aircraft hit inverted.
