A much better photo has been posted at the fencecheck.com site (scroll down
to the photo labeled touched.jpg):

This clearly shows that the left elevon from Thunderbird #3 got underneath
the right rail for Thunderbird #4 and the resulting nudge knocked it off.
If you scroll down a couple more photos to ChicagoAirShow_TBrail2.jpg you
can see the mark left on the elevon.
