Unless one flies out at 750mph, hits a critical part of the plane somewhere else.

If your Airbus flight goes 750mph you have other problems
What is terminal velocity for a commercial airliner?
An American or a European airliner?
750mph ground speed flying in a jet stream
ground speed doesn't matter. if something comes off the aircraft it'll be in the same relative air current
Air speed doesn't matter either, since the plane is traveling at the same speed before and after separation of the bolt.
good point, god forbid you get somewhere on time in an Airbus
Has that ever happened?
