Plane Test: F-4 Phantom jet crash into concrete wall

November 19th, 2007        

What will happen when a plane crash into a concrete wall? Don’t know? Then check this F-4 Phantom jet crashes into the concrete walls of a nuclear power plant at the speed of 500mph. Video after jump.

    This test is a sham – the F-4 weighs about 5% of what a 767 airplane weighs, and the wall was able to move rather than being fixed in place as is a containment vessel. Last and not least, many of the current operating designs have a 3.5 foot thick wall for the containment area, not a 7 foot thick wall as in this test. How dishonest can one get in promoting this PR test?
