Yeah, I get lost in the mortality of it.Kinda missed the point I was getting at, I wasn't saying that the king cobra pilot wasn't essentially insta-paste from the sudden deceleration.
I was more noting how the kingcobra wings and tail popped off.
To me at least, it looked like what punched through the Fortress was mostly because of the P-63's engine placement, and it left everything else behind with the B-17's center section, which fell straight down in a fairly even pattern. Only the KingCobra's engine, and nose/tail of the B-17 had enough inertia or residual lift to fall outside of the main crash site.
Everyone just got lucky it didn't happen closer to the parked aircraft, or over the commerical areas around that airfield.
