If you crash headfirst into while in a plane:
-There is often minutes for the pilot to glide-slope to a clearing and/or fly on one engine.
-The impact speed will usually be the same 120mph, but the intersection angles will be 1-10 degrees, not 90.
-You'll be surrounded by a huge vehicle.
I'm going to start thinking about it this way!
