Weight (Maximum take off)
A380 = 569000 kg [1]
F-16 = 19200 kg [2]
Top Speed
A380 = 945 km/h = 262.5 m / s
F-16 = 2410 km/h = 669.444444 m / s
Kinetic Energy
E = 0.5 * m * (v^2)
E380 = 0.5 * 569000* (262.5^2) = 19 603 828 125
EF16 = 0.5 * 19200 * (669.444444^2) = 4.30229629 × 10^9

That said I think it probably doesn't matter. On impact the plane would breakup and you probably wouldn't get full force from either and also I bet it was built with more then a factor of 10 safety factor.
