It was a Controlled Imapact demonstration by Dryden Flight Research Center in 1984.
I don't know how could they tested it!

That's none of the above.

That's a 767.   The pilot was fighting a hijacker for the controls when it happened and out of fuel.  The reason it broke apart was it was in such a steep bank and dragged the wing to that extent.  Completely a result of the hijacker fighting the controls.   It says a lot that people survived even through that.
