>Aluminum is brittle, drop a piece of peanut brittle and watch it shatter, smash a plane at velocity and you get the same.

 

Hello,

 

For 6 years I worked in a forming shop that produced aluminum and titanium aircraft parts for Boeing. There's really no truth whatsoever to your statement, under any circumstances. Aluminum is ductile, even at fairly cold temperatures. It does have a fairly low melting point, and a massive kerosene fire will do a number on all the thin pieces, but all the superstructure, including wing and fuselage rib pieces, should be intact in fairly large segments.

 

It's designed to fly, yes, and weight reduction engineering is applied to every piece to get the most strength out of the least mass, but wreck sites like these are fairy tales. The pentagon crash site, and the one out in Pennsylvania–and this one. You simply aren't seeing the wreckage of a real aircraft in any of these incidents. As the other poster implied, a wreck hot and fast enough to destroy the entire fuselage is not going to leave behind remotely intact corpses. The fuselage ribs alone are inches thick, and under no aircraft crash circumstances does aluminum shatter like peanut brittle into unrecognizable particles while leaving the human bodies inside it whole.
