We do. They're called tanks.

Yep. A plane built to those specs would not leave the ground.

Serious answer: the plane might survive, but its interior is going to look like the aftermath of that scene from Event Horizon.

That can be solved up until a certain point by submerging everyone in liquid and forcing them to breath liquid oxygen. We'll also have to inject liquid into their body cavities as well.

Typically interior stuff is rated for twice the Gs as the rest of the aircraft, so for civilian stuff that would be 18G ultimate.

I think he was referring to the sensitive meat bags enclosed in the plane.

Hmm Strawberry!

TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h).
