    entirely conjecture at this point, but:

    according to Captain Steeeve (a recently retired military and airline pilot) over on youtube, this same plane experienced several minutes of extreme turbulence a year or so back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtA657zwqBI

    the implication being that the airframe may have suffered enough stress from that extreme turbulence that it contributed to this crash, elevator separation feels like it would fit
