Hi beachbum11, 

Just thought if by chance you haven't seen the movie I've been referencing in several posts here, then this is the link to the relevant scene:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RUBaRqY_NqA

To repeat what I wrote, there ain't no arguing with physics, which in this scenario has everything to do with the definition of inertia. 

Oh, and by the way, by somewhat eerie coincidence, the movie "Fearless" is very much based upon the actual DC-10 crash into a cornfield at Sioux City, Iowa on July 19, 1989.  The crash scene is widely regarded as one of the ten most realistic depictions of a passenger jet crash ever filmed.

I said "eerie coincidence" just now.  Why?  Because the actual jet that crashed in 1989 was UNITED AIRLINES Flight 232 en route from Denver to Chicago. 

Again, if you haven't yet done so, borrow, rent or download the flick.  It's that good. 

Cheers!
