HS & VS break off first?

If the VS and HS broke first and that was the Reason for downing, can someone explain what can be see here at Engine and Fan and what is the Reason for that?
It is highly unlikely that VS and HS were broken off first by aerodynamic forces. - trailing edges of VS and HS. T
Technically it is impossible while wings are still attached to the plane and fuselage is more or less intact. Planes intact body plus Fly by Wire protection does not allow such a sudden changes in tail attitude against airflow.
