"A computer simulation of the 2001 World Trade Center attacks supports a federal
agency’s findings that the initial impact from the hijacked airplanes stripped
away crucial fireproofing material and that the weakened towers collapsed under
their own weight.
The two-year Purdue University study, funded in part by
the National Science Foundation, was the first to use 3-D animation to provide
visual context to the attacks, said Christoph Hoffmann, a professor of computer science and one of
the lead researchers on the project.
“One thing it does point out… is the
absolute essential nature of fireproofing steel structures,” Hoffmann told The
Associated Press. “This is something that wasn’t done originally in the World Trade Center when
it was built. It wasn’t code at that time.”"
I doubt that any number of studies will change someones mind on this. I know one person who thinks this is all a scam, and he still thinks that we never went to the moon. I don't know why people get these ideas locked into their minds, but no amount of logic or data is going to get it out.
