Have to disagree. An aircraft that has lost it's tail section will not 'tumble'. It will immediatly adopt a nose down attitude until it breaks up or hits the ground.
An example is of a British European Airways Vanguard airliner in the 1960's that lost it's tail section over France due to loss of compression problems.
The Vanguard entered a vertical dive almost immediately with no 'tumbling'.
