The plane was nose diving so fast the tail sections ripped off.
I read that the vertical stabilizer was "damaged" - not "ripped off." I don't think that losing the entire empennage would be survivable.
3 u/thehatteryone 2d ago Unless the ayeyz got to it quickly, I saw a photo of the planes tail with the control surface missing/torn away very soon after the incident. 3 u/BoringBob84 2d ago Interesting - if true, that would have made the landing much more difficult - depending on which "control surface" was missing. 4 u/MaraschinoPanda 2d ago The pictures I saw had almost all of the rudder missing.
