Anyways, over on that "english" site they are mentioning that there may be some (very) hard landing issues too. If you look at the other photo's available, one can clearly see she sits a tad low...

ok so "we" don't really know if the tailboom coming off caused the crashed, of if the the tailboom came off as a result of the crash......

[Outwest]

Oh it came off because of the crash.......

Essentially what i was saying was that this incident had nothing to do with the incident a few years ago where the tailboom spontaneously folded up on the ground.
