Nissan Frontier Ad
Sorry if this is old news, I don't watch TV, but was laid up and forced into it. They show a commercial airliner with damaged nose gear. It's so damaged it would have happened during take off so you wonder how it got in the air to begin with. Supposedly the truck goes speeding down the runway and the plane puts it's nose gear in the speeding truck. All 16,000 + lbs at over 100mph. Come on, the truck would have disintegrated. I think any truck would have disingrated under those conditions.

Catch the disclaimer:
Of course at the bottom of the screen you’ll see ‘Fictionalization. Do not attempt.’
That from this link: Video: 2011 Nissan Frontier can help you land an airplane | egmCarTech
And you are correct, this is not at all possible with that size plane, due to the speeds involved--something close to 140 mph--and the weight. The plane depicted in the video, a B 727, has a static front wheel load of approx 16,000lbs, depending on model, and up to 29,000 lbs load under braking.
