    ^^^ It will not disintegrate if it hits with that much force after acceleration of the gravity constant into a standing object with space. :eek: Inertia of the body kept it all together. The hollow part of the car caved in. Had she hit the concrete, or if the two objects had been moving in opposite directions, maybe she would have dismembered or torn apart, but the space in the car helped "cushion" her fall to bend the metal.

    It's the "I'm not laughing, but I'm somewhat serious about this iShnit, so believe you me, I'm not jiving around with you, I'm being as direct as I can, and it's a bit embarrassing to have to explain this... :eek: " like that. ;)

    1930's


    [​IMG]

    “Boulevard du Temple”, taken by Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839 in Paris, was the first photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the traffic was moving too much to appear. The exception is the man at the bottom left, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show.”
