EMP does not cause structural damage. It disrupts non sheilded sensitive electrical systems and causes damage to unsheilded complex electronics such as microchips. An EMP pulse could not cause a wing, tail, or engine to fall off an airliner.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.

At one time in my life, I used to work in an EMP shielded facility. We had contiguous welded steel plate completely surrounding the entire building (including the power plant and under the floor). To enter, we had to walk through a steel tunnel with steel RF shielded doors on each end that could only be opened one at a time.
