Even from the supposed underneath angle you think this image is, the 'fuselage' is way too wide compared to the wingspan.

Maybe both wings had already been ripped off at that point?

If the wings are ripped apart, why does the image in the video appear to be flying sideways, level and smooth at Mach 18?

It seems to me that if anything came apart at that speed, BAM, the entire orbiter would be ripped to tiny pieces instantly. That's not what this optical illusion shows.
