Building Collapse due to Plane Crash

[goldbullet50]

That was cool!

[peacepalace]

Wow! nice.

[minecraft12352]

how did u do that?

[sicorange3]

what did you use to make this? Looks like tons of fun if it's an easy program

[zombieregime]

nice vid. kudos to multiple play throughs and rotating camera angle. i wish more 3d renderings on youtube would do that.

[algildea]

superb

[baishengren]

Great work! :)

[svartsaft]

AWESOME! AWESOOOOOME!

[fishy2002]

awesomely realistic man :) great job ^-^

[Jeramius23]

This looks awsome nice one man

[marshalljimduncan]

Atleast the building was empty

[warguyful1]

hate to be in there :(

[JamDP1100]

THIS IS AMAZING....and yet a saddening reminder of what happened to my friend...

[ItsTimothy]

im surprised no one said anything about 9/11

[appliedscienceint]

@ItsTimothy . They have, mostly conspiracy rants not pertinent to the simulation itself or of any value really.

[robertdevald]

Can you please make a model from the World Trade Center towers? Please?

[robertdevald]

Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a simulation of the World Trade Center? Please!

[DrayAssist]

Kewl

[unoriginality1]

the damage would be worse when the plane would have have exploded

[appliedscienceint]

@unoriginality1 You are right. Which is why that part was not simulated. There would be nothing left to analyze. Remember this in an engineered simulation, obliterating everything is beyond the scope.

[jimmyvbs]

i want to see it fall

[appliedscienceint]

@dillfly2000 Not in this simulation.

[appliedscienceint]

@bigbengamer FYI, this is a model of the AP Murrah building without the curtain walls. Not a parking deck. :o)

[appliedscienceint]

@MrDanielleQ True, we didn't include an explosion or other thermal forces. This was strictly an impact analysis.

[legocreationmaster]

This is why my packages never arrive and when they do they are damaged!

[SuperDummdidumm]

wow nice

[bjadalull]

wow cool

[Alerukio]

That was chuck norris parking his plane.

[HariPuttar1]

*Someone on the unaffected side comes home from work there* His wife: how was your day at work? lol

[Lindner12ewald]

Chuck Norris sneezes

[Kw12345ff]

At very first moment of impact, some concrete pieces are launched at 500 mph from the building, in opposite way of airplane's direction. Does that really happen? After a blink while, the simulation becomes very natural.

[slayerd81]

When will we get physics like this for video games?! Battlefield Bad Company 3 anyone?

[crzydude412]

If there was an explosion

Most likely the rest of the building would have taken much more damage

[SexyMelon]

Excellent!

[N1k1mon]

Whoa, that looks like the Oklahoma City building....

This simulation is showing a crash that actually causes obliteration to the side of the strike. What's inteteresting about One and Two WTC is that we witnessed just how damned strong they were by how they stood intact after the hits. I still think there should only have been a toppling effect if anything, and that to the one most damaged only.

[appliedscienceint]

@N1k1mon If I understand you correctly, the toppling effect you are referring to would have required more force than we are capable of generating. Think of it like toppling a row of dominos, and then enlarge those dominos to the size of the WTC.

[JESSE75946]

I would not want to be in that building lol

[waffenshroodle]

If only video games had this kind of technology real time.

[TheNp42]

Nice. For some reason, this reminds me more of the Alfred P. Murrah building instead of the WTC.

[appliedscienceint]

@TheNp42 It is the AP Murrah Building.

[JeannotvanBerlo123]

Long live the physics engines!

[tocamadera]

plane is not a solid body is just an empty aluminium body.

[appliedscienceint]

@tocamadera Yes, this is the case in the simulation.

[nyc14gauge]

@tocamadera Actually its several hundred tons of aluminum traveling at a high velocity, which has a tremendous amount of energy.

[Watcher3223]

@tocamadera

An empty aluminum body ... weighing several tons by itself.  For the velocity depicted, you are going to have a lot of kinetic energy for the total mass of the body. Dispersal of energy of that magnitude will result in destructive damage to both the aircraft and the structure.

[sacr3]

@tocamadera Planes still weigh between 70,000 pounds to 300,000 pounds, and their engines are giant solid chunks of steel that weigh around 5000 pounds. When travelling 500mph these things are dangerous as hell, and on top of that they carry tons of jet fuel which burns at a high heat and creates more pressure from detonation... these things are big ass missiles.

[SexyMelon]

Great job!

[Coastergeekperson04]

The building just got pwned by the plane.

[doublesob]

What the program and plugin is?

[itsakadoozy95]

its too unrealistic...i mean who would fly a plane into a building?.....oh nvrmind

[mrledfeb]

is this program free???

[appliedscienceint]

@mrledfeb No.

[appliedscienceint]

@mrledfeb no.

[frosty9595]

Why dont we get to see the full animation? It just cuts away before we see if the rest of the building survives.

[appliedscienceint]

@frosty9595 because it's an engineered simulation. You could note that if we simulated the explosion that would have been involved, the rest of the structure would have been affected.

[papavalium]

Great Video, this is a good show of how the weight of the top floors couldn't be supported anymore. It collapse almost like the World Trade did....If you notice the top floors of the World Trade just compacted and destroyed each floor on the way down. GRAVITY always wins.

[MaryStewart]

cool! but that blilding is pretty weak to crumble like that! the plane would, in reality, get torn up.

[appliedscienceint]

@MaryStewart Did you not see the plane "get torn up"? Please watch it again, the plane gets pretty well torn up.

[BlackSpid3y]

i thought when a plane hits a building it will expload?but still cool

[appliedscienceint]

@BlackSpid3y you are right. The explosion was not included in this simulation.

[sinningg0d1121]

@h3ownage yes, it's realistic.

[reiburn280419]

thats beautiful

[braedenb12]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THAT???????

[officialbassbounce]

The explosion would finish the rest off.

[palkiapals]

could this be used for fun

[regisdrift]

wow!! very cool simulation... I would like to see this very detailed simulation in a game ^^, but i know this is impossible right now lol

[gamerman001]

now that is how red faction gurilla should be.

[HatlabuFarkas]

What angle is this ? :(

[Fangelus]

this is good physics: 'd love to see these in-game

[Jossebond]

WOW! make more!

[robertrageson]

thats awesome

[gunthaarz]

this was an 8 floor building made of concrete, designed to support eight floors, no 47 large 4 x 4 feet thick internal structural steel I or H beams inside in the centre. Sure it would disintegrate on impact. this is if we are talking about the aircraft crash into a building in the Netherlands a few years ago

[CallumPK]

the plane just enters the ground? no kaboom?

[appliedscienceint]

@CallumPK you are right. We did not include the explosion as part of this simulation. We only wished to analyze the impact.

[peca5255]

like do you have to make the building and the plane and the animation or you just get them and make the plane hit the building

[joe133322]

what software was used?

[appliedscienceint]

Extreme Loading for Structures

[Merlin5x5]

@appliedscienceint

Where is Extreme Loading available?

What is it's cost?

Does it come with pre-built models, and how much work does it

take to build a model of a building?

I am a designer of process control systems.

Can it handle dynamic objects, like doors, valves, piping, etc?

[appliedscienceint]

@Merlin5x5 please visit the ExtremeLoading com site for answers.

[cpssnorman]

fucking awesome

[KoopaKartWii]

thats excellent simulation

[olgolu]

so coool!

[GTAstuntman101]

lol, i saw one corner foundation still standing

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

What program?

[paintballplus20]

well done

[gorillaz6399]

nice graphics

[napone0]

Damn, hope everyone's okay.

[AllAmericanPerson]

make more!

[phoebus1966]

good, only half of it collapsed ...

[CHRISLESSICK]

Did it collapse from the inertia of the plane going straight down? What would happen if the plane flew directly into it. Lets do some comparison.

[sergiovalle21]

that look so freakin cool!

[crazybmxboy44]

Tell me about it!

[lezh10]

exelente, pero con que programa simulas la destruxion.

[rymen]

why is the plane in direction to the buttom?

can you make one with horizontal crash?

[AllAmericanPerson]

make one where the whole building collapses

[ghplayer3]

That was destructively awesome!!

[famdude88]

That building looks like the Oklahoma City Bombing building that was bombed, Timothy McVeigh was executed on my birthday. My mom brought home Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream before hearing McVeigh's last supper was Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream. We didn't touch for quite awhile. He was executed in Indiana. I was born in Indiana. Why did I go off topic?

[treehuggingaj]

Man I love choc mint

[Asdam12]

Wow, that would have sucked. xD

[lozenge124]

Nicely done. I would be very interested in seeing something akin to this, but with a tube-in-tube structure similar to WTC 1&2.

Outer shell, core, floors held up by trusses connected to the outer & inner columns.

Then create a 1 floor gap 20 floors or so from the top, and see what happens.

[salemcripple]

FINALLY! someone who understands how the towers where built. I'm sick of explaining to morons that the outside wall on the towers was an integral structural component of the buildings. Rather than just a "curtain wall" And just like any other building, If you take out a part of the structure, it WILL collapse (even if only partially).

[migo53333]

and i would like to know while the floors are pancaking down that the vertical steel core doesnt remain intact..Hmmmmmmmm

[disasterlover]

no it do with extrem loading

[BrodyLuv2]

Has anyone Considered That Planes are not Made From Materials Anywhere Near As Dense As Building Materials??? And Should Be Torn Apart ThemSelves Upon Impact?? Missiles CAN Go Thro' METAL and CONCREATE Buildings, I Highly Doubt 9/11 Physics. They Are Extreamly Suspect.

[appliedscienceint]

Fill a water balloon with +/- 57,000 gallons of explosive liquid, and throw it 500 MPH at any structure, and see what happens.

[matchesison]

i agree, anyone out there seen straw stuck into a tree after a twister? if its going fast, it will destroy shit.

[chriswgood71]

Yes but the tree is still standing.

[salemcripple]

Exactly what i say when people try to tell me the planes were too "soft" to do any major damage to the towers. Only i use the analogy of how a relatively soft lead bullet can go through armor plate when going fast enough.

[GTAstuntman101]

just as bullets kill people

[tjakal]

word for word, that right there is something I will one day tell my children.

"if its going fast, it will destroy shit."

[FSPilotsUK]

@appliedscienceint without a source of ignition nothing will happen

[appliedscienceint]

@FSPilotsUK because a 767 slamming into a steel building won't cause a single spark or flame will it? Fail.

[streakingcameraman]

Did you know that many, many missiles are designed using the same materials as the aircraft that use them. Think about a bullet, fire a 45 at a car door, the door is made of steel that is much, much stronger than the lead from the bullet. However the hollow door and the kenetic energy from the bullet will spell door for the door but the bullet will pass right through.

[StevenBlender]

i really wish you made something like this and then made it really realistic

[appliedscienceint]

Please search for TSNS or TSNStudios.

[Theronguardaaah]

Can I download that?

[Jacen47]

guys these things are not just "OH IM GONNA MAKE A HUGE BUILDING TOTALLY FREE" EGHHHHH wrong you cant use these free or even make them easily you need to have ALOT OF SMARTS to get all the programming/designing with 3D physics

BOTTOM LINE: ITS SUPER EXPENSIVE AND YOU CANT USE IT.

[Escapatis]

professional

[flyer2359]

where can you get this software?

[julianallees]

OMG, Could you just imagine how scared you would be if you were in that building <<<< and on the top floor which wasn't really damaged at first, and you have to suffer the fate of becoming kinetic energy as you fall with the building because the floors below you have been blown off!?

Yours,

julianallees

[dacid126047]

what software was used

[appliedscienceint]

Extreme Loading is the name of the software.

[kkdperro2]

OW i need it

[NukeMyHouse]

can this be done on blender?

[appliedscienceint]

Umm, no.

[mike4ty4]

"Umm, no. "

So it's a custom-built program designed specifically for this stuff? Is this used for scientific research, engineering, etc?

[warhero296]

who knows thats a good idea tho

[poornation]

i want this software!!!

[LEGOdaddy]

Id love to have this software

[newyorkboy76]

A perfect simulation of the WTC is impossible because we dont know exacty what happened inside the building between impact and collapse. A number of variables exist. Like how the damage unfolded. what debris and destructed occurred and where. And the various gas and electrical systems that were damaged and how they reacted/exploded.

[chriswgood71]

You're right newyorkboy76. A "perfect" simulation is impossible, but for something that happened twice on one day, you'd think it would be possible to come pretty close. The whole point and question is what would it take to see it happen and how would the collapse unfold...admittedly, something even NIST couldn't/wouldn't do.

[chriswgood71]

Can you do something that would resemble the World Trade Center Tower impacts on 9/11? The tower should remain standing after impact and then collapse in the same fashion as the towers. Can you do it? That would be totally awesome! Thanks.

[appliedscienceint]

There have been some discussions about re-creating the World Trade Center scenario. This simulation was actually inspired by those very events and believe it or not, the simulation shown here was created in 2004. At that time we decided not to do the WTC simulation because the tragedy was still "fresh", instead we opted for this smaller scale simulation.

[appliedscienceint]

Do you recognize the building in this simulation? It's actually the A.P. Murrah Building from the Oklahoma City bombing (used to verify the software). The WTC idea is on the table again, now that there is more distance between the present day and the events in 2001.

[menotyou66]

yes, please do try, i'd be very interested in seeing it as i'm sure many many others would as well.

[ugotownedo]

Excellent Simulation

[Mundellproductions]

Cool graphics!

[EVOLUTIONARECOOL]

yeah really
