That would be 3g distributed evenly across 2 wings, 4 spars. This "occurrence" was the entire weight of the jet punching on one spar...

An end view of the punched down rear wing spar in 3D (cross eye). The trailing edge spar, which is supported from the distal wing...

There's the bolt . . .

The right wing tip remains visible for six frames including touchdown. That's 1/5th of a second from touchdown until the fuselage...

I believe the image of the rear wing spar shows that it is substantially bent down from the wing surface, consistent with the fuselage...

Right side-stay oriented as deployed, seen from the rear (note the hose fittings run along the aft surface). The schematics are of the...

I don't know what kind of games the TSB is up to but it's rather juvenile. This frame has double stacked images, their Flickr account...

The side-stay would fracture in close succession to the rear spar failure. The front spar would go later. Regarding the spar shear...

It seems the PF reacted to a "performance-increasing" wind gust by pulling back the throttle and then never recovered, though it may be...

Maybe we should be engineering built in height monitoring, as in built into the truck cab?

The material seems to be some type of composite given the ragged and fibrous torn edges, not to mention all the "crumbs" on the ground.

The only reason this incident didn't have a more drastic outcome is because the failure occurred just coming out of the lift station...

Thanks for speaking up. The pink line attempts to represent the torn edge of the wing skin, which we see in the crash evacuation video...

Some graphical musings regarding the evacuation of the wing structure (using previous images flipped, rotated, and inside out to ease...
