And I think the whole vertical stabilizer fell on this model of Airbus over NY either during turbulence a result of the pilot applying too much rudder pedal, breaking off the rudder in one giant piece. All composite rudder and vertical tail assembly if I remember correctly.

Different model - that was a larger and older A300.
