So there I was, flying my panther on a steady 75% throttle over and enemy carrier group, and all of a shudden, BAM flak explodes right infront of me, result: nose got blown off and my wing had a hle wich wanted the plane to pull over to the left...while i was unscatched

That happens too easily. And the fact that you keep flying... The debris would cause multiple blade outs and destroy the engine and any related components. The remaining debris would severely damage outer components, disabling control surfaces, making the aircraft aerodynimicly unstable, and as the aircraft started its death spiral, the damage to the wing roots would be so severe that the wings could not handle the stress of the dive, thus ripping them off. Your hydraulic fluids would spill out due to the severing of lines, and there would be no survival.

The hydraulic part is exemplified when an A300 was hit with a missile on takeoff. Causing a loss of hydraulics. The aircraft was landed with differential thrust. A DC-10 lost hydraulics at one point, all aboard were killed on impact.

I think that some people have made out of the crash

referring to United 232...crash in Sioux City, IA. actually most people onboard survived. Captain was Al Haynes...I met him once and was a pleasure having him sign my logbook. Although, I think these guys in the DHL airbus had it worse...not only complete loss of hydraulics, but also dealing with a fire, loss of fuel, and impending failure of a wing. Bravo to them!

You being in Chicago, I'm sure you remember the American Airlines disaster.

yes, well no. was before my time even. my dad saw it happen though. was flying a bonanza, abeam o'hare, when he saw the fireball at his 9 oclock. but yeah, that crash is very popular talk around here.
