Anecdotal evidence...I've seen plenty of cars destroyed in similar situations...I wasn't trying to say that ALL frame constructions are unsafe or that all unibodies are good, but in GENERAL, it is easier to produce good crumple zones in unibodies. The advantage that frames have is that they're stiff and heavy. That's not necessarily what you want, though. The US goverment crash test might say that frame construction is good in a lot of cases, but I wouldn't trust a damn thing that NHTSA says. Those people have their heads so far up their asses that they can eat last nights supper before it hits the small intestine.
