I think the whole plane is a crumple zone

I think that was carried out for a test of the concrete for surrounding nuclear power stations if memory serves me correctly.

"i'm sure i parked it around here somewhere"

Thats a really old video. Always impressive though

That was testing the resistance of a nuclear reactor concrete core to a plane hit i believe. They did similar things with the transporter trains and those pods that they transport uranium around in. Amazing what they will stand up to!

Would not like to have been in that plane.......neither this one http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6838776830077767976&q=plane+crash&pl=true

looks like some african airline was skimping on maintaining there planes.(nothing new there)

That's what happens when you try to land 2 metres below the runway! That was a HARD landing - maybe he was an ex-navy pilot...
