It has been done before. Didn't watch the prog, just saying.
Watching it ATM, really interesting.
The wire bundles need to be looked at, to improve safety.
Other than that shocked how well it survived, but that pretty much was best case scenario(no fires, no tumbling) and still estimated only 75% survival.

I mean properly, the NASA attempt failed?
They successfully managed to crash, just so happens they didn't crash it how they wanted to though
Watching this on 4+1 just now. Seat 7a for me on my next flight!
But then you don't learn anything as everyone. Just dies. It's the ones where you get a mix of survivors and deaths you learn the most from and that crash had a 25 fatality rate, so I would say its a pretty good example, for a one of test. If they could crash loads they could test more.
Over the wings is actually a good place. Although the g loads are higher. If you watch aircraft confidential, a lot of crashes that only a couple of people survive are nearly always between the wings, due to the increases structual integrity that area needs for the wings.
Ditto, I just try and get the comfy seats. Best in planes that narrow down significantly at the back and go from like four seats per side down to two. There's always a large space between the seat and the window, lovely leg space and room for stuff.
At the least!....In the current climate I think it warrants a jail sentence as I'm sure I must be offended for some reason or another
Interesting program.
I wonder why the front wheel assembly isn't designed to break off during impact like the rear wheels. Surely by doing so it would reduce the chance of the front of the plane being ripped off, as the front assembly wouldn't act like a land anchor.
