My point? Nothing can be derived from this accident alone about the structural robustness of the B777 airframe compared to those of similarly-sized competitors' aircraft. This one was fine here, the Airbus was fine at Quito.
Having said that though planes do seem to be getting stronger, the MD11 that crashed in Hong Kong actually lost a wing and rolled over and that was going down at about 1100ft/min at impact if I remember. I know I'd much rather have the gear collaspe than the wings break off.
