NICE! If you compare it to the A380 wing test you can see - Boeing is just BETTER!

RTO test video added for good measure, it seems to have gone better than the A340's test: http://airlinepilotcentral.com/web_v...061211162.html

All cameras were destroyed as billions of pieces of the wing flew all over the room when it hit 120%

Looks more advanced than the simple wiffle tree's we used in college to measure failures of wings. Boeing really strives for accuracy.

Now I know why I sleep soundly when I'm flying on that bird. I love flying on the triple 7, and do so whenever it's convenient.
