Metrojet versus JAL123 tail damage
I stumbled upon a drawing of the damage of the JAL123 tail. Damage was almost exactly like that of the Metrojet tail. So front of leading edge and tip missing, as well as wing box and rudder. And damage in same relative locations. Also same components still missing.
When you look at the english language report of JAL, the drawing appears to be a little different. But still a lot of similarities.
The structure size is of course quite different. And the location of the fin box versus the location of the pressure bulkhead also.
But still.
This could make a bomb in the cabin scenario a little less probable.
I wonder if anyone has a link to the Japanses language version of the report.. I hope the photos and drawings in that one are better than the ones that i have now.
