Yes. When I find it I'll post it.

As for your comment that

"Having a few sheets of the skin fly off in close proximity to the spar
failure point does not constitute self-destruction of the week",

Nobody is claiming that the wing self destructed. Force was applied.
The claim is that it failed pretty much all at once. And once sheets of
aluminum fall off the wing, the wing is no longer a wing.

The wing is no longer useful as a wing as soon as the spar breaks.
However, the claim was that the wing was perfectly uniformly strong and
would fail along its entire extent. I claim it will fail in one
location. Quite different.


Yes, I saw the bent spar.

Then you saw the point failure which I claim is how a wing will always fail.
