Afaik the horizontal stabilizer is deflected by a worm gear. Even with a totally destroyed fuselage I think it would be possible to recover parts of the gear which allow judging its position at time of impact. As well it is in the aft part of the plane where also the flight recorders are placed as they have there the best chance of survival.
