I think it felt turbulence when the tail fell off in sections. The first buffeting was the left side seperation (or lower) and the second was the right side separation. The turbulence didn't cause the seperation, rather the separation caused the turbulence.

BOTH engines come off and land in different locations. The vertical fin separates cleanly from the aircraft. I ain't buyin the wake turbulence explanation as the sole cause of this crash either!

First time I heard that I thought maybe they also had a bridge they wanted to sell. BTW, how many times has a plane taken off 15 seconds too soon in another plane's wake? Must be never cuz this is the first one that's fallen apart in the air.
