Vf = 0 m/s
T = 10s
A = (Vf - Vi) / T = (0m/s - 166m/s) / 10s = 16.67 m/s^2
F = M*A = 80,000 Kg * 16.67 m/s^2 = 1,333,600 N

Okay, a million Newtons. Great whats that in pounds?

(1,333,060N/9.8m/s^2) * 2.205 = 300,060 Lbs / 2,000 = 150 tons over 57,000 square inches is about 5 pounds, not 190 tons. Thats not going to go through SIX CONCRETE WALLS.
that is the most retarded way to do math ever. especially because you're saying it took 10 seconds for the plane to decelerate. Plus you're converting from kg which is mass to Ilbs which is force. Moreover, it's not a force problem its a pressure problem it doesn't have to go through the whole wall.

What makes you think that you're so qualified to explain a complex real world incident with 10th grade physics?
