this is a LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787-8, registration SP-LRB, and the missing vertical stabilizer/tail isn’t a crash scene. It was removed as part of a major repair. Here’s what happened: * On December 24, 2025, SP-LRB was at Miami International Airport (MIA) when it was struck by a catering/handling vehicle near the rear of the aircraft. * The damage was to the aft fuselage/composite structure. LOT described the location as unusual, making the composite repair particularly complicated. * Because the damaged area was around the rear of the 787, maintenance crews had to remove the vertical stabilizer (the big tail fin) to gain access and properly repair the structure. * That’s why your picture looks so bizarre — you’re essentially seeing a 787 without its tail fin sitting at MIA.
