Actually the spin would not stay flat for long as the upwind wing will generate more lift than the downwind wing, and the aircraft will roll (swept wings). The aircraft by all accounts, gov't, conspiracy theorists, and eyewitnesses did roll over (not saying inverted) and not just pancake.

"the spin would not stay flat for long as the upwind wing will generate more lift than the downwind wing"

It only has to flat spin for a bit to bust off the engines, and if it was flat spinning perpendicularly to it direction of travel, the wings (if they were still there) would have equal effects.

I hope they can clean up the video enough to resolve all this. Has there been a prognosis on the light data recorder? It would clear up everything if it has attitude records.
