>>>>>I just saw that picture of the tail being hoisted out. I'm a private pilot too. That does look like a clean separation, but my god, what would make a plane come apart like that. The possiblity of a tail separation AND engine separation at the same time is very unlikely, at least accidentally. IMO. <<<<<<

Why not - this was a two engine both wing mounted engines - on the loss of either engine pilot may have applied full rudder to compensate for the loss of thrust on the lost engine side. Forces might have simply then sheared of rudder.

Am I wrong?
