B-24 shot down by a life raft

On a mission dated May 31st 44 a B-24H's the LR hatch detached inflight
at about 20'000 ft hit the stabilizer along rest of the formation with or without
the life raft deployed causing the Lib to go inverted enter into spin which ended
up with structural failure of the aircraft and the loss of all airmen onboard .
Is anyone aware about similar events elsewhere and
the reason ?
