An actual analysis would include consideration of whether the crushing wood would have absorbed more energy than the steel, among other factors.If you accept that the most nearly analogous situation was the Malbone wreck, in which the second and third cars hit a stationary object at ~30 mph, no breaks set, with two heavier cars behind. The 2nd and 3rd cars were demolished beyond recovery (although there were survivors) the 4th car was not seriously damaged and the 5th car was intact. |
