Maybe this video helps a bit to put all that twisting into perspective? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B74_w3Ar9nI

There's another one from way back where they bend a 747 wing until it breaks. Definitely puts into perspective how strong a wing is.

The famous video is of a 777 wing. I don't believe any similar footage exists for the 747 or if the test was even performed decades before.
