I am looking for any video/photos of a nose-down impact into water.
MH370 is said to have dove straight down nearly vertical, and that mysteriously resulted in "minimal damage"
1995 Toronto Air show crash:
Any evidence out there that a plane can have a high impact into water nose down, and not break up into tiny pieces like this one did:
You can see lots of tiny pieces in the high resolution photo.
This is what CNN posted from an expert into fluid dynamics:
“Simply put, a plane hitting the water at an angle would scatter its parts across the surface of the water. But one hitting at a near-vertical angle would shoot into the water with minimal damage and zoom straight to the bottom.”
Is there something miraculous about near-vertical.. To me, that just means more breakage, more crumpling all the energy going into breaking parts, almost all of it. Instead of dissipating into sliding(slowing down due to water/air friction), it dissipates into crushing.
And had the Nimrod in the video been pointed more straight down, would it have suffered less damage?
