Probably something near 200lb at zero g/s meeting a CFM56 doing 150plus will transfer a massive amount of energy -damage into the engine and spar. Even 10mph ground vehicle impact can lead to extensive structural damage. The Aircraft will be AoG for sometime I imagine..
it's hard to imagine a more messed up week; but here we are...
