Sorry Dantley.
We know how it feels [:@]. Lucky you were not inside.
It seems to me that the violent up and down oscillation of the elevator tip, destroyed the laminar air flow over those surfaces; thus, they lost lift.
It looked more flapping than rotating around the pivoting axis. Jack
I have to agree with Jack from what I can see in the video. Looks more like and up/down flapping... perhaps the stab pivot broke or the support structure through the fuse let loose. After such a devastating crash, it may be really hard to find the cause as to why.
Sorry to see this Dantley, hope your able to bounce back.
