28. The photo is too late.
To my eyes the progress of the explosion indicates that any parts of the plane continuing over the roofline should have been long out of the picture. The roiling smoke is pretty well developed in this pic and we know the plane was going aprx 500MPH.

The delayed "flip" from redirection of kinetic energy one sees in auto racing, where a fast moving object encounters resistance and flips straight into the air, wouldn't apply to far less sturdy large plane sections, which ought to come apart before changing direction dramatically.
