For sure, they are not steel bars or rebar though, it's thin sheets of very light alloys, hell on some smaller planes they're glued and not riveted. And, they don't have the crumple zones and frames that cars have for crash protection because they just aren't designed to crash in any other way than an emergency belly landing.
Not that thin. And you have lots of very heavy parts. Beams,trunions, terminal fittings..... I am a heavy structure sheet metal aircraft mechanic. And I belive they did the damage shown.
Another thing that gets missed is that you don't have to cut the steel,just break the bolted joints holding them in place. These bolts are designed for sheer strength, not for tention/ side loads. I belive that mass at that speed will punch a big hole. Their could be lots of fukery after that,IDK.

Oh for sure, I don't know much about airplane structures to be honest. I'm just rattling on about mass and weight.

Very solid points!
