Pristine detatched vertical stabilizer
The vertical stabilizer (tail fin) extracted from the bay appeared to be intact and undamaged, other than being separated from the aircraft. Clearly it was not broken off as a result of something hitting it. That leaves as possibilities some sort of explosion, or something hitting the mounting point at the base of the tail VERY HARD. Comments?
