Researchers at Purdue University have created a simulation that uses scientific principles to study in detail what likely happened when a commercial airliner crashed into the World Trade Centers North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001. http://www.rcac.purdue.

    Consequences: Now, that u have seen the causes of the impact of one planes crashing one of the buildings in the WTC, you should be concern about watching, knowing and doing something about the consequences of this horrible tragedy. I found a video which could describe what another horrible tragedy is happening every day and the people behind it: Watch 911 conspiracy theory

    This is a fictional digital movie, like Pixar's 'Toy Story": The jet fuel burned in a huge explosion. It didn't 'ball up' into tiny droplets. No matter how cute they show the fuel acting like that, that's not what happened. This video does not explain anything factually.

    While it is very likely the impact damaged: or even severed a few columns, it in no way proves how that damage affected the base of the building causing the collapse. If the "pancake" theory is to be believed, the support columns would still be anchored to the ground and you would have a mass of tangled beams stretching at least half the buildings height into the air. The beams were cut with thermite. The conspiracy theorists are the ones who goosestep behind the government.

      @negativekelvinWhat dipshit boat did you just fall off of?: The base WASN'T damaged by the impact. And if you understand even the rudementary basics of the WTC building design, you would understand why support beams would not be left standing as you described. You need to jap slap your imagination or whoever you are getting your information from....they deserve it for getting your head so screwed up.

    So this video shows that the fuel pretty much burned off instantly.: Why does the official report say that it leaked down elevator shafts and stairways TO THE LOBBY?? Does the government think the people are stupid enough to believe a jet can carry that much fuel, and that enough of it made it down without igniting even while an "inferno" ensued at the impact point?

    Ok: thank you for showing me the full extent of a civil and structural engineers ability to create a videogame clip. ok, I’ll agree that SOME of those columns were knocked out, and that the jet fuel burning could've melted the rest of the steel columns. But uhhh, this plane wasn’t made of concrete. I've done the ground services for commercial aircraft and anyone cud literally punch a hole in the side of the plane. If you put the amount of speed that plane had into the picture, then the inertia of all that

    Nicely Done:: It's funny to me that the Loose Change freaks will insist this modeling is all part of the 'conspiracy'. Sadly, none of those nuts have a degree in engineering or physics. However, half of them HAVE seen UFOs! The other half have seen Bigfoot.

    Garbage in - garbage out: Proves zip e dee doo dah - tell a bunch of computer guys to make a simulation to "prove what was observed", i.e, prove the pre-supposition that the airplane caused the building to fall down, and viola! they can do it! "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest la la la la la la la... There is no evidence that the core columns failed as they say, and regardless, that does nothing to explain the failure of the floors below the impact area - everything violates the

    so fake...: aluminum even traveling at such high speeds cant just slice through hardend 6 inch solid Steel I beams like it shows in the animation... the fact that the governemtn refuses to release any conclusive video evidence of the Pentagon crash(they only released FIVE frames from video of a servaillance camera in the parking lot) shows that the government is covering up sumthing The real conspiracy of 9/11 is that a few "freedom hating" muslim cave-dwellers were able to bring the most powerful na

    The expert conclusion is: The aircraft and only the aircraft brought down the World Trade Center. You would logically think that this would silence the conspiracy freaks. But we all know they don't think logically. I was hoping they would go back to looking for Elvis.

    • Elk_Snot

      Elk_Snot - 2 years ago

      @kevlar1Well, if that is the expert conclusion,: then why did the thing loiter around for an hour before collapsing? Oh right, the jet fuel that we ALL watched burn off after a few seconds.

    • Mr_Tideman

      Mr_Tideman - 2 years ago

      @kevlar1If the govt. set explosive charges: why bother fly jets into it? You're a total moron, Elk Snot. Go get a structural engineering degree. Oops, I forgot, you're too stupid to graduate community college.

      @kevlar1I wonder how many people on here: are really just stupid brainwashed sheep and how many are government paid agents sent to spread disinformation and confuse the people "still on the fence" about the hijacking of their country. Hey kevlar, Tideman- why not put up a real picture of yourselves. If your so right, what do you got to hide?

    but: y did it fall straight down? no steel structure has done this before.. who knows

    • pennywhise01

      pennywhise01 - 2 years ago

      @BamfbCause..: the jet fuel melted the core pillers that were metal and made the top part collapse in and when u ahve like 5 tons of steel and stuff.. steel will bend and it just kept bending til it went straight down

    • kevlar1

      kevlar1 - 2 years ago

      @BamfbThis has happened before: It has happened in earthquakes. It's called pancaking. The people behind the conspiracy theory are the ones that said this has never happened before. The same people that said fire can't melt steel.

    no, a missle traveld underneath the plane: thats the only logical explanation cuz missles can go just as slow as an airplane thats banking into a building

  • stillnotbob

    stillnotbob - 2 years ago

    Pointless?: They can't be positive what happened, but they can make a pretty good educated guess. The know the approximate speed and weight of the plane. They know the strength of the building. Being Engineers they can make the best guess on what may have happened inside the building. I would believe this to be more realistic than the stupid global warming computer models Scientists come up with. We can't even predict the weather for next week and they want to guess at th

    that didnt prove shit: The mere fact that some college needs to do some bs computer study shows that theres enough reasoning to believe there is a cover uo of some sort which in turn leads to the conclusion that were all fucked.

    noone can be sure what happened to the plane inside so this is pointless: gay video

      GabeRosenberg - 2 years ago

      @James_ukThis was the basic of how the fuel tanks were rupted upon impact on the coloums..: From that point, they based the spread of fire and dust and glass on that "fact". Pretty cool rendition imho, So no I dont think it's gay. Great vid.
