An airframe that comes to mind is the classic H500 series (still with us today.)

I've seen those things take some BRUTAL punishment and after everything breaks off and the thing rolls around for a while, the passengers stagger out shaken and stirred but alive and (sort of) walking.

Then there's the 206's. They absorb so much impact that they turn into a double stack of pancakes with human butter in the middle.

Very best regards...
