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 Center's North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001.
Researchers:
Chris Hoffmann - Faculty
Sami Kilic - Former Member
Scott Meador
Voicu Popescu - Faculty

    MASS!!!..ACCELERATION!!!...FOR­CE!!!.. Yup... explains it all Purdue... Close up shop your job is done... The sea dog just explained it all... ROFL...

    -

    The poster fails to mention that the first water jet systems used a 100,000 psi pump to deliver a hypersonic liquid jet. HYPERSONIC!!! (+Mach 5) ROFL... (now 30-100K PSI) doesnt even mention abrasive WJ.

    -

    MASS!!! ACCELERATION!!!FORCE!!!.. WATER!!! ROFL... So silly throwing out terms like that. Shows the poster has an agenda of lies and deceit.

    Have you seen water slice through steel with the precision of a laser? Have you seen the wind pick up cars and hurl them around like toys? It's called:

    MASS x ACCELERATION = FORCE

    of any theory as they admit they tried as closely as possible to replicate the mass of the fuel.-"This is not the first simulation, but I would say it's the most scientifically realistic one." "We believe most of the structural damage from such aircraft collisions is caused by the mass of the fluid on the craft, which includes the fuel."

    -

    Did they do a good job for what they believed? Sure. Was it 100% accurate in what happened in the real world? I dont believe so. Judge 4 yourself.

    1)

    From our modeling of the aircraft crash into the Pentagon building, we knew that a critical issue in defining the damage was the modeling of the fuel in the aircraft. Much of the mass of the aircraft is provided by the fuel; in this case about 27%. The energy imparted to the impacted structure is the initial cause of the damage. This time, we modeled the fluid-structure interaction using smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH). - I dont think Purdue is putting this out there as 100% proof of

    why do they work so hard to cut steel when it can be easily sliced with aluminium hahaha I can't believe the makers of the video actually consider themselves intelligent
