I'm sure the Alps weren't hurt too badly.

Well, the mountains were there just minding their own business.
Totally innocent victims. If the plane didn't want to hit them, it probably should have been flying higher.

They are.
That's why you want to be flying over them, not through them.

Yep, and on a midweek flight.
I got an A380 once, the landing terrified me the crosswind made it almost land diagonally and you can look at wing and landing gear cams from the little TVs.
Hopefully they are close enough for people to find the crash site quickly.

The landing gear is very strong
A 747 is designed to be able to land at up to 45 degrees relative to the direction of travel, cos if you try and turn one that close to the ground the outermost engine will hit the floor.
