You may have noticed this:
"Another interesting excerpt from the Boeing press release states the following:
Finally, the team pushed the composite section past ultimate load well beyond ultimate load to a destruct-condition maneuver beyond two and a half times the force of gravity."

My emphasis.

Not an entire fuselage, and even less an entire aircraft, wings and all.
Oh well, it makes good publicity and spin for those who don't understand all of that hi'falutin' stuff.
