The stabilizer did not shear the bolts off. The bolts remain to this minute attached to the fuselage.

The stabilizer did not shear the bolts off. It broke above them

I read that report also. It seems that the composite and alloy metal structure of the Airbus is prone to terminal fatigue similar to the 737. After so many flexes and years of regular movement it may become weak in non-critical areas. (like above the attach points)

For those of the tinfoil commando ranks, $h!t happens!

Yes, I heard that reported.
