The plane never flipped over, wings intact.........could never flip with wings attached. Looks like possible explosion in the cabin as the airplane landed. The rear fuselage bulkhead was blown out rearward by whatever occurred in the cabin. The top pf the fuselage is also blown out. Those of us who spent lives in our aviation industry are leery of the cause. An explosion in the cabin that blows out the rear pressure bulkhead would be cause for the tail to fall of the aircraft fuselage. Bears looking into!!! Could still be an accident, but...in these days....one never knows. I am certain that Boeing, Asiana Air, the FAA, industry experts and the DOT will figure this out!!!
I’m hoping a bird strike and not Islamic terrorists.. Are there restrooms in the very back of the plane? Remember there was a note found in restroom on a recent flight?
Shot on Facebook by one of the passengers shows others walking behind coming from the inflated escape slides, some even carrying luggage. At that time, the top of the plane, say forward of the wings, was intact.
After 30-yrs in aviation, no one “knows” immediately (if ever) the cause. However, informed observation would indicate no internal explosion, just post mishap fire. Additionally, the empennage is at the approach end of the runway indicating possible short/very hard landing that might have caused the tail section to separate—not blown off.
Boeing and all their second and third tier suppliers, along with the engine manufacturers, will be all over this.
