Wrong. Physics, my FRiend, physics. F = MA.

Right--which means that a FASTER impact velocity equals (be sure you're sitting down) more FORCE on the telemetry package.

The nearest shooter was too far away for a missile to be visible on Long Island.

Som much for that theory.

Actually, this pertains the force that the package, a Magnesium product, can exert on the 747. Aluminum doesn't do much to stop a hypervelocity pointy hard thing.

P.S. Kind of like a copper bullet can penetrate a piece of metal that could otherwise crush the copper.
