@Leightman on HS and ...
Leightman uptill now I have not seen pictures with the other half or the central box structure of the THS. Rudder still missing too. So of course too early to have any clear conclusions ... just a longlist of preliminary possible scenario's ...
Perhaps the rudder, and especially where it is found, will turn out to be more important in the end. So hope it is found by the ongoing search and hi res pictures published.
Wing in one part is indeed striking. Perhaps not the center wing box and large inner parts of the winghalves staying together, but not losing substantial parts of the outer winghalves. Maybe part of the reason is that the engines came clean off before a structural limit on the wings was exceeded. You also wonder, that if the plane rotated, that it rotated in a manner and at a rate which generated relatively low dynamic loads. While (not a judgement at all, just trying to indicate different interests) 'flying only' pilots (not engineering pilots) often state that discussion on issues like these are not 'for them', it is challenging from an engineering point of view.
Important for elimination of scenario's is where and when the rudder, THS and engines broke off, and in what order. So the more we have on these items the better.
