The tail looks to have had a 'bomb' actually in it! does anyone know of a similar crash where the tail was so de-constructed and parts spread out? Even with Alaska Airlines 261 with a jack screw failure the tail seemed to stay intact but with no pitch control.

In my mind if the tail severed in one go, it would stay intact until impact with ground, but that doesn't seem to what have happened here.

has anyone got a handle on where the APU, HS parts (at least two), tail, and VS lie in the debris field relative to each other? they don't seem to be close to each other.
