Sandia National Laboratories — F4 crash.wmv

The F4 impacts perpendicular on the horizontal and vertical. The kinetic energy is maintained on the zero-point axis. It would have been nice to have shown film footage of the debris filed after the dust had settled.

The real containment wall on many of the active reactors is only 3.5 feet thick, not 7 feet thick as here. Also, a 767 plane weighs 20 times the weight of an F-4. Last, the concrete wall in containment does not, I believe, slide to absord impact, so it would be more "brittle". This is a misleading, and probably deceptive, demonstration.

The heaviest 767 (the 400ER) is actually only 7 times heavier than the F4 (450,000lbs Vs 61,795 lbs). The F4 first flew in 1958 - over 23 years before the 767. As a result, the 767 uses more low weight materials in it's construction, making it far less "dense" than the F4 - which is built (as we lovingly refer to it in England) like a Brick Sh*thouse! So possibly not quite as deceptive as you seem to suggest? And besides, it's still pretty awesome to watch - as is any Phantom!

No... 6 feet is standard. Except for the former Soviet Union where they just don't use containment vessels. This is what made Three Mile Island such a success and Chernobyl such a mess.

Your conspiracy theory that this was deliberately fabricated by Sandia labs is amusing at best.

When you want to make a whole in something you want to put as much mass behind as small surface area as possible. That's why bullets for defeating tanks are elongated and made from depleted uranium.

A 767 is much larger but it is only about 7 times heavier. It's nowhere near as dense as the F-4. The only parts of the planes that have any chance of making it through the containment are the jet engines and the landing gear.

Its just an empty vintage fighter jet from the 60's and the air force didn't need it, maybe you could buy one for a $100k.
