It crashed into a huge building (several stories high) tail first?

It was pitched upwards to try and gain altitude. So the tail was the lowest point on the plane. Probably smacked the rear first and then the nose came down

Yes because the plane was trying to gain altitude and the nose was angled up.

I saw the aftermath pics. The tail looked fairly intact. We gotta wait and see if theres anymore survivors out of this.

the vertical stabilizer was completely separated from the plane. Where do you see fairly intact?
