bulkhead or not bulkhead

To AVR4000

A failure of the pressure bulkhead is a logical explanation for the separation of the rudder and horizontal stabilizers and a picture of its condition would give a clear answer.
Rupture of rear pressure bulkhead is not explaining why aft part of fuselage before RPB separated midair. Also, it does not explain why fuselage after wings is scattered around in small pieces.
Peeling of fuselage skin by wind aerodynamic forces works from front to back. Not from RPB toward cockpit.
Also, with ruptured rear pressure bulkhead, damage pattern aft of RPB should be different, as you could imagine how all that aft galley stuff was pressed through rapidly emerging hole.
