This reminds me of what used to be a standard frightener for beginning
students:
to look into the elevator of a light plane on a pre flight check.
It can come as a shock to the unwary, that the airplane designer's art is to
"Add lightness and simplicate!"
- and it follows that there is nothing lighter than nothing.
So in a high speed impact, you might expect to find the dense strong parts
like engines and gear, while the remainder folds up or burns.

Not explicitly physics but I received the following URL and wondered
whether in the list's professional opinion's there is anything to it. I
know some of you are practicing aviators.
Thanks for any critiquing.
