For the purposes of this discussion, let's say it rotated in some fashion about its vertical axis as it slid. This of course means the CAB was wrong in saying it slid tail first the final 820 feet.
So now it's at a stop after sliding 820 feet upright. How did it flip over? Note that the leading edge is facing back the way it came and it's still tail-first. If it slid tail-first and upright, when it flipped over the wings had to swap left-for-right. If it slid nose-first and upright, what flipped it after it stopped? Any guess how that was done?
I appreciate your enthusiastic defense of your fellow investigators, but at some point it seems like reality should start to impinge.
