Reply #8: A scenario to refute your assertion: [View All]

Okay, the plane is traveling at 600 mph, the nose hits the ground causes the ground to become unstable and break up creating a crater, this happens in a fraction of a second. Now, the nose has hit the ground and the tail is still going at 600 mph yet to hit the ground. The crater has already been formed; the tail hits the crater at 600 mph and the black boxes drive into the crater 25 or so feet underground.


Just because the nose and fuselage of the plane have hit the ground and stopped doesn't mean the tail is stopped too.
