How can more than 20 people stand on a wing and not collapse it?

LOL. A Wing can support a 250,000 lb plane at several G's, but it can't hold 20 people floating full of fuel on the water?

Sure but this overloooks the whole “flying” conspiracy. How can anything that heavy even get off the ground, let alone travel at 30,000 feet. /s

These folks know nothing about flight, or the Bernoulli principle, or the fact that the wings lift the plane.

The probably think the 'flaps' on the wings refers to number of times they move up and down to gain altitude.

Ignorance is bliss for some.
