It looks like its just the tail and vertical stabilizers were sheared off. everything else on the plane is intact. Very miraculous actually.
July 6, 201313 yr Watching on MSNBC... Looks like the pilot shorted the approach, for whatever reason. There is debris from the very beginning of the runway.

July 6, 201313 yr What's the average life span of a commercial plane? Fairly long. There are planes from the 80's still flying. This plane is still very early in its career.

July 7, 201313 yr Author The photo's almost make it look like it might've been an electrical issue but I'm just speculating. The majority of the roof from the front entrance to the rear entrance was burnt up completely.
