Anyone who has read a single NTSB accident report will understand what an insane idea this is.

Elaborate?

You're towing a bunch of cargo into the crash site.

Don't worry, in the event of a malfunction you can just detach the cargo, so now you have two apartment building sized things falling from the sky to completely unpredictable random locations squishing anything they land on top of.
