Back in the 1950s they performed plane crash tests a little different then today. I actually posted a video about a recent Cessna crash test here, but for now have a look at this amazing footage of some historic airplanes that where deliberately crashed and analyzed for testing purposes. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (predecessor to NASA) is testing a fleet of prop-planes just ripe for exploding. Watch the gifs and video and leave a comment with your thoughts below.
