It is noted that when two eggs collide, only one egg is crushed while the other remains intact.
The question is, is it possible for both eggs to break simultaneously without forcing it purposely (i.e. letting it occur naturally)?
No

The reason why one egg is broken and the other remains intact is that one moves faster than the other, if they both move at the same speed, the eggs will both break.
