-What's the point of doing that test with the aircraft unpressurised? Surely it would respond completely differently to the blast with 8-9psi of pressure inflating the fuselage? :confused:

-Any B747 possesses a certain majesty, even when it's being taken apart.
The picture above is reminiscent of, say, a seventies Cadillac meeting its maker in a car scrapyard.

-The point where they tested this is the toughest part of the airframe ,,,,,,beleive me it puts up a good fight against my 45 ton komatsu,so i think given 20,000 feet 6-9 psi a whole different ball game unzip like a bannana:(

-Ok i will define mint ,,,,From a breaking of airframe point of view this one is very clean ,,,i think whoever maintained her cherished her ,,,there were signatures of farewell all around the forward pax door we get most 747s in a pretty disgusting state,,,this ones clean;)
