Doesn't 11 show the "fragments" "re-assembled" (i.e., covering the WAF areas) with the outer wing upside down? Reference the band covering the gap between the outer wing and center/inboard spar sections. Or maybe I'm making the wrong assumption. It looks like the center spar under the pilot wasn't a clean fracture... note the control stick and remains of the gear brace.

After looking again figure 11 is the debris in figure 9 laid back on the debris in figure 8.  Figure 11 show what looks to me like clean breaks on the end of the spars just inside the fuselage. Note the slight lines and change of color at the ends.  This to me is where the spars entered the fuselage and are glue lines, etc. .  As figure 11 was located away from the crash site minus the wheel faring it appears to be a clean break with other damage shown like center stick could be impact damage.  Figure 8 shows the spars from fuselage outboard to the WAF's.  Figure 8 is an end view and doesn't show as clean a break as the same end in figure 11.

I guess we'll have to wait for the inspectors to report.  I hope they can give us a better idea of EXACTLY where the spar(s) failed in flight.  Seems like the failure could have been close to the landing gear bracket on the right side.
