Post Wake Turbulence / Structural Damage Studies - AA 587

With so much rumour about this terrible accident, are there any studies that actually support a theory that wake turbulence events can lead to catastrophic structural failure.

What could be the effect of the subject aircraft's involvement earlier in an overstress condition. How deep would xray techniques have looked to accurately determine structural damage?

Any engineers / specialists care to take this on ?
