May 19, 201610 yr I watched this video twice before, and and I still find it to be a unique experiment to try to improve airliner safety...
May 19, 201610 yr Author The crash occurred at, as the narrator said in the documentary, 1500 feet per minute. Let's bear in mind that the design vertical speed at touchdown for any FAR-25 certified airliner is 600 feet per minute. So this impact occurred at 2.5 times that value, which means, 6 times the kinetic energy!! The passengers in the front section (closest to impact point) suffered loads of 12-g. The passengers in the rear section (farthest from impact) suffered loads of 6-g. That's quite a difference! The pax in the front would have probably died and those in the back may have simply walked away.
