| If that was the engine I am surprised the rear fuselage was as intact as it appeared on the trailer shots. I was thinking it might be the forward avionics bay but whatever it was certainly stayed intact. |

habu2, take another gander at the photos. The area under the vert stab is basically empty. The avionics bay probably didn't hold together as a single unit. Just look at the amount of dirt splashed by the object bouncing. It is clear that it is a relatively solid and dense piece to me.

Wow - does anyone know what part of the aircraft that was that continued out of the fireball? Was that the entire nose section?
It's the engine core. |

| That's what I thought the first time I saw the video, it looks like someone dropped a truck out of the sky. . . |
