Like what is shown above? No, none that I know of.

Here's how strong these buggers are. This a wing-loading test of a 777. It survives until 154% of maximum design stress.

I saw it happen once about 7 years ago... followed the aftermath pretty closely for a while, but got bored after a few seasons. I wonder if Jack and Kate ever ****ed.

Eh.

Hey - you go ahead and stick with your agenda if you'd like. It's your life.

Besides, it's a Boeing. I won't break up in the air unless helped by a bomb, missile or an unmaintained, aged and corroded airframe.
This all day.

Sorry but I have to say this...

Am I the only one who sees the irony in Frankie starting a thread about the structural integrity of the 737? Jack Bauer called, Frankie, and he would like to have a word with you. LMAO

That's what I've been saying, but the collective guarantee of our resident scientists and structural engineers here have guaranteed that it absolutely cannot happen is good enough for me. LMAO

May a diuretic camel find a high position directly above you.

Only when they are cut in half by one of our missiles.

There have been planes where part of the roof came off during flight. An Aloha Airlines flight had that happen.

I was expecting it to break close to the fuselage but it actually snapped close to the middle. Those things are very well engineered. Nice vid.
