Was this the 737NG model that was found to have accelerated wear and possible cracking of pickle forks?
Not trying to speculate, only wondering if the same model of plane.

In that photo the plane looks totally vertical. Is that common on crash accidents?
The million-dollar question now is how it managed to recover after plummeting 2/3 its altitude, only to do so again shortly after? That shows that it was still operable and could aviate, and opens up many more questions.
