The tail section of what authorities described as a small single-engine plane, possibly an experimental aircraft, lays outside the Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Building in Miami, Thursday, Dec. 5, 2002. The plane approached the one-story building from the north and struck the front of the building killing the pilot. More than 100 people attending a holiday season party were forced to evacuate the building authorities said. It was too early to tell if the crash was deliberate, according to Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue spokesman Louie Fernandez. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier)

This picture is of the "tail-end" of the aircraft. The "side" that's supposed to face the sky is against the building, so we're seeing what normally faces earthward. The white portion of the wreckage is called a stabilator -- a combination horizontal stabilizer and elevator, and is found most commonly on aircraft manufactured by Piper.
