When you toss a coin, you expect it to land heads or tails. Not on its edge.
Similarly, when two aeroplanes run into each other, you expect each of them to subsequently either land, or crash. If they thwack into each other hard enough that they cannot be separated, it is thoroughly unreasonable to expect the resultant agglomeration to do anything other than spin into the ground.
But sometimes the coin lands on its edge.

Interesting crash. Another, interesting in a different way:

So the guy who landed the mass of plane safely was killed by a bus. You can't make this stuff up.
