That vertical stabilizer came off SO cleanly I can't help but think that it just flat out wasn't attached properly. I mean, it doesn't look as if anything RIPPED, not even around rivets. If it wasn't attached right, any turbulence would have gotten it.
You know, 37 seconds doesn't seem like so very long. I remember reading that Robert and Virginia Heinlein liked to fly a lot, in part because if something should happen it would be quick and neither would be left widowed. It took 100 minutes for those trapped in the WTC to meet their ends. I know these folks had many plans that will now be left unfinished, but I will not be scared to fly because of the possibility of a death like theirs. My Mother-in-law's ovarian cancer is back after a 5 year remission--she is facing chemo again, and it always surprises me that she is terrified of flying when she can handle the months-long misery of chemotherapy.
