Talking HS issues

#2036 (permalink)

Just a guess- since we have not seen any HS "wing box " structure- it may well be that that structure along with jackscrew attach points and surrounding ' skin' has been removed from wreckage after cutting out the CVR and FDR to show what was found almost immediately.

That would include some of the attach lugs/points of the VS- which are missing. Some of the 'damage' to surrounding parts as seen may be the result of on the ground dissassembly to load on truck(s)

As to the obvious bending -breaking off of HS near simultaneous- IMO that could be caused by simply breaking the jackscrew or its follower or its mounting points allowing the HS to move towards being a flat plate to the airstream. - evidenced by the pulling down of the fuselage ret he tension unzipping of upper half forward of the AFT door. What caused the breaking or slippage is yet to be determined

Until either the HS ' wing box ' is found or revealed- we have probably reached the practical end of a reasonable analysis-

Explosive residue is another issue re initiation and where in aircraft
