It's called the Birkenhead drill, and according to a episode of QI it was only used twice, on the Birkenhead and on the Titanic.

I've seen that DVD, just before telling he says it's an old australian pub joke.

I'm actually brazilian. What he says right before he hits is: "I'm gointo hit the wing. I'm goint to hit the wing, don't shoot."

So he chose to ram the fuel tank in the wing.
One bump on the tail and that plane would not be going anywhere.

True nuff, but it is also the strongest part of the aircraft, meaning that truck would of been in worse shape than it already was. Then again, perhaps I don't give enough credit to the bulk of an SUV, I don't ram many planes...

As he hit the landing gear, one would assume that is what he was trying for, not the wing per se.

Yeah, there's a behind the scenes video of this where you can see him using the pedal here. I agree is still amazing though.

He's not simulating the distortion, he's using a distortion pedal. You see it more clearly in his live show, but even in this video you can see him turn it on. Still pretty amazing though.

Forget the beatboxing, the overdrive guitar is amazing. I've never heard anyone vocally simulate that sound before. In. Cred. I. Ble.
