Impact Load on spoiler

If the aircraft impacted the sea more or less wings level with significant downward speed, is it that clear how the wing structure would respond dynamically (flexing) and the consequential loads that would have been imparted to the spoiler, actuator and supporting structures ? Add in a bit of roll with one wing impacting first and the analysis gets even more complex. Think I'd want an FE model before I tried to assess the remains.
