Purdue Creates Scientifically Based Animation Of 9/11 Attack
Science Daily - Although most Americans believe they know what brought =
down the World Trade Center twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, civil =
engineers are still seeking answers to questions that could save lives =
in the future.=20
A scientifically based video animation of the 9/11 attacks on the World =
Trade Center by researchers at Purdue shows that it was the weight of =
the fuel combined with the fire, and not the aircraft itself, that =
caused the most damage to the buildings. Only a few parts of the =
airplane, such as the titanium jet propeller shafts, actually continued =
through the building, the researchers say. (Credit: Purdue University =
image/Voicu Popescu)=20
....
The simulation depicts how a plane tore through several stories of the =
World Trade Center north tower within a half-second and found that the =
weight of the fuel acted like a flash flood of flaming liquid, knocking =
out essential structural columns within the building and removing =
fireproofing insulation from other sup****t structures. =20
....
"The crashes and computer models you often see on television are not =
scientifically accurate," he says. "This provides an alternative that is =
useful to the nonexpert but is also scientifically accurate, so it =
provides a more realistic picture of the event."=20
....
The simulation found that the airplane's metal skin peeled away shortly =
after impact and shows how the titanium jet engine shafts flew through =
the building like bullets.=20
As with an earlier simulation developed by this team that examined the =
9/11 attack on the Pentagon, the World Trade Center simulation showed =
that it was the weight of the 10,000 gallons of fuel more than anything =
else that caused the damage.=20
"It is the weight, the kinetic energy of the fuel that causes much of =
the damage in these events," Hoffmann says. "If it weren't for the =
subsequent fire, the structural damage might be almost the same if the =
planes had been filled with water instead of fuel."=20
....
"The aircraft moved through the building as if it were a hot and fast =
lava flow," Sozen says. "Consequently, much of the fireproofing =
insulation was ripped off the structure. Even if all of the columns and =
girders had survived the impact - an unlikely event - the structure =
would fail as the result of a buckling of the columns. The heat from an =
ordinary office fire would suffice to soften and weaken the unprotected =
steel. Evaluation of the effects of the fire on the core column =
structure, with the insulation removed by the impact, showed that =
collapse would follow whatever the number of columns cut at the time of =
the impact."=20
