The Bones McCoy thread group on FR is doing a fantastic job of staying on top of this. Looks like like the "boot" -- made of carbon composite strips that shields the connection of the wing to the fuselage was an early point of fatal failure. I suspect that the falling external insulation-damaged heat tiles in proximity to the landing door allowed hot plasma entry and the mechanical expansion due to structural frame heating allowed the boot's carbon strips to pop out -- and that very quickly resulted in complete loss of wing.
