The banging could be debris in the current moving around. If that carbon fiber got damaged or had a flaw in it then... well, We've all seen a wing or side pod explode/shatter in F1 or IRL many times over the years.

If structural failure occurred it was over before instantly. Not even time realize or think about.

But yes in all seriousness I agree that this has become Their final destination.
