Delta Flight 1086 La Guardia LGA N909DL MD-80 No Fatalities

Nobody died in this incident because the "MD" Series of McDonnell Douglas aircraft have a stronger fuselage than similar planes. An Airbus would have broken in half.

The arrows in the pictures below show the "crease" that divides the cross-section into two semicircles. Two circles are stronger than one. It makes the fuselage stronger.
