So, once something is inside a black hole's event horizon, it can only move towards the center. This is fine for a point-object. But 3D solid objects rely on molecular forces to stay in one piece. These forces act in all directions inside the solid. But there could not be any interaction between atoms at different distances from the singularity, right?
So, what happens to a solid (let's assume a crystalline lattice, for simplicity) hypothetically placed inside the event horizon? Does it get cleaved in ultra-thin concentric layers, centered on the singularity?
