Flight 587

Beginning to look more and more like structural failure of the composite tail on the airplane crash. This picture shows a definite ripping of the composite on the left, which is still attached to the bolt linkage. Cause of the failure is a problem...even severe turbulence would not normally cause this to happen on a well-built airliner.
