If you are still wondering about the 4DM breakup, read
the NTSB report.
From reading the report, the plane did not fail.

Actually the wings did fail. They presumably failed
above their design load limit. but they still failed
in flight causing the crash. A better question would
be, how much of a design cushion is there between the
load limit and actual failure of the wing?
