I was in PHL today and a gentleman at the UPS security gate told me he saw it chopped up with a giant claw, this past Saturday I think. Apparently they had difficulty breaking up the wing root section. Sounds like she fought hard until the end.

Won't have time to crack up. The epoxy holding it together will melt and it will delaminate before then. At least that's what happened to the composite aircraft I just saw burning up at the end of a runway.

Those giant holes melted in the fuselage were an indicator of a big blob of molten aluminium about to drop out of the sky. The crew did a great job, but lets face it, metal or composite they all burn.
