>The only thing that gives me pause is that this plane was involved in an on the ground collision some time ago where one of it’s wing tips was broken off.
However, even if the whole wing broke off, one would think that the pilots still would have had time for a Mayday! call.
At 500 kts? You got to be nuts. If it did stay together which it wouldn't, how fast do you think that baby would have snap rolled with one wing? There would be lucky to have any heads attached after that.
