Vertical stabilizer (tail fin) attachment point

Why does the composite material look "burnt" where it separated from the fuselage attachment anchor point? The rest of the pics on that NTSB page reveal nothing useful that I can see. Looks like someone held an welding torch to it. If they did that to only a few, what would happen?

"The side force increases from about 0.3 G to about 0.8 G (0.3 G and 0.4 G is considered to be a very significant force)."

NOT. You can experience .9 G turning a corner in a Corvette.
