It would be interesting if everyone who is convinced about a bomb could share their thoughts on the following:

1. The damaged vertical stabilizer.
2. The detached horizontal stabilizers.
3. The 25 seconds of FR24 data transmitted after the event.
4. The damages to the tail section with separated APU compartment.
My thoughts are that a bomb in the aft cargo bay didn’t result in the rear fuselage/tail becoming structurally detached straight away, but large sections of the rear fuselage where free / released in the jet stream and impacted with the tail resulting in the detachment/damage of the APU, HS, VS, and tail (this is swept backwards). Then finally in the detachment of the tail, maybe from ‘flapping’ around in the jet stream.
