That's the current suspect theory. If the pitot detects high wind speed, the computer system is supposed to keep the pilots and auto pilot from over correcting and risking the tail from being ripped off. However, if the pitot tubes were iced over and reporting to the computer low wind speed, then in turbulance the auto-pilot would be allowed to over-correct, destroying the tail.
This is why pilots are now refusing to fly the 330's unless all 3 pitots are replaced.
isn't that the tail or vertical stabilizer for an Air France, and it seems it is in one piece, would the accident be similar to the accident of American Airlines Flight 587, because it looks like the vertical stabilizer came off the airplane, and that could cost the aeroplane to lost control
