dailynews.yahoo.com Midway between the two rattling sounds, the captain can be heard remarking that he was encountering the wake of a plane ahead of him, he said. Now, if I were the pilot and I felt some shuddering in the airframe, the first thing that I would think of is wake turbulence. The last thing that would cross my mind is that my tail is coming off. But I bet that the process of the tail coming off will make the airframe rattle a bit. IMO, they are concentrating on what the pilot said too much. The preceding plane was 8 miles ahead of the A300, this is 3 miles further than FAA standards (thanks MrLucky for the info). Once they figure out why the vertical stabalizer sheered, they are going to have to explain how this would make both engines fall off too. I have seen photos of plane crashes where the engines are still attached to the wing after the crash. I am guessing that the force encountered on an impact is greater than any force that the engine can encounter in the air.
