Plane = Hollow Aluminum tube
Doesn't mayer. 767 weighs ~300000 lbs at takeoff.
300k of paper thin aluminum is still paper thin aluminum. Sure the plane has insane energy/force at speeds, but the plane itself cant handle that force and shreds itself absorbing much of the energy in the process. That is why most commercial airliner wrecks look like someone dumped out thousands of bins of trash around a few more solid piece. Don't usually see huge holes in the ground...
No. There are laws to kinetic energy. The material doesn't matter. I have personally seen STRAW (as in actual strands from a pile of hay) embedded THROUGH a 4x4 piece of wood. With enough energy the material will pass through and into another material without deforming until it meets a certain threshold. Same thing here.
The MASS x SPEED is what's important.
The wings were full of fuel, not empty aluminum balloons
The engines each weigh ~6 tonnes or so
