Never mind me.
How fare did they get before it snapped?
It was NOT a wing test but a TEST WING PR FOR 777X- MY GOOF

SO AS A MEA CULPA HERE IS AN OLD 777 FIRST MODEL WING TEST TO DESTRUCTION- ABOUT 4 PERCENT ABOVE REQUIRED MAX/ULTIMATE LOAD AND IT BROKE WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF PREDICTED LOCATION ON UPPER PANEL
