First NASA Soyuz TMA-11 documents

This is interesting:
"However, a suggestive detail in the postlanding photography, a thruster
mounting with jagged gaps alongside it, indicates that an attitude
thruster burned through. Such damage would have reduced or even entirely
eliminated the crew's ability to point the crew module during descent.
The thruster could have been lost as a consequence of a vain attempt to
steer the much-heavier-than-expected combined vehicle through the
initial buffeting."

Soyuz TMA RV thrusters use simple hydrogen peroxide decomposition to
generate thrust, so you'd think the comparatively low temperatures
involved wouldn't burn through a thruster... was the thruster damaged
during reentry?

Another interesting section:

"In addition, Yi So-yeon, the South Korean flight participant, reported
in interviews in Seoul that the final ground impact was not vertical but
sideways, causing many heavy baggage items to break free from restraints
and hit her."

After parachute deployment the capsule is supposed to fire a system that
releases a bridle from the side-mounted parachute housing that then
swings up over the top hatch, so that the capsule is descending
vertically under the chute. If it did hit sideways, that suggests
something went wrong with the bridle release and in that case the
landing rockets wouldn't cushion the landing much on impact.
