One of these went of the runway as KSGR last week. The fuselage separted from the wing! Has anyone ever seen something like this?

kinda works like this: the wing is attached to the fuselage with 4 ''dog-bone' shaped tie-rods. The point of rupture is carefully calculated by the engineers so that the wing absorbs the majority of the crash impact force and then the dog bones break so that the nose of the fuselage absorbs the impact of whatever speed there was left.
