Yes, I agree with the fact that the Aircraft Might have Hit the Ground with the force of 700G's, Killing everyone. My Point is that Mr. Patel worded his email " The Aircraft can take on 700G Force" To me this sounds like he is saying the aircraft is structurally sound to with stand a force of 700G's.
