If the bracing is shot, or a entire surface (wing) is destroyed, the whole mess folds together and is gone. Or in another view, you will have a huge increase in entropy in that aerodynamical system. Everything else is far fetched theory!If lower wing is removed then upper wing falls off but removing upper wing doesnt detach lower wing.
