There's two things I find very interesting in the picture, 1. is the aileron 2. is the "saw toothing" of the spare. The aileron outboard side appears ripped; that certainly could have happened upon impact with the ground, but an investigator must determine the cause of the rip. The spare doesn't have a clean break...the saw tooth pattern may suggest preexisting cracks...I'm sure the investigator will dedicate great analysis resources to the spare.
Perhaps its time for Cessna to start buying back the airplanes...just like Beachcraft once did. Better yet, an Obama bail out.

After reading the report, I noticed it was night IMC, with cumulus cloud activity. I know the pilot was IFR rated, but vertigo can happen to any of us, myself included, not to mention the likelyhood of vertical drafts strong enough to fatigue a wing. From my analysis, night IMC is the #1 denominator amongst Cessna accidents. This may seem insensitive, but I wouldn't be surprised if the pilot is named as causal.
