NDIANAPOLIS — 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.

Asbestos insulation could saved the building and many lives. Thank you sham trial lawyers all.

>>>Oh Rosie! You Gotta Lotta ‘Splain’ To Do

Her ‘splainin’ will consisit of wailing on how the scientists are in cahoots with the Bushies to hide the truth that it was an inside job that brought the towers down.

Everybody knows Bush flew the planes into the building by remote control while reading to the kindergarden class, then had the buildings blown up with bombs planted in them. Bush also flew the plane that shot the missles in the Pentagon. The actual airplane was abducted by aliens.

If they can’t figure out why the WTO collapsed, they’ll never figure out who assassinated Kennedy.

#7.

I don’t think the NIST report on that one is out yet. But when it is, guaranteed your friends will STILL be hung up on #7.

Brackets holding the floor beams were just welded to the exterior vertical columns rather than having a mechanical load bearing configuration. As the floors above collapsed, the bracket welds just sheared off on each successive level.

How convenient of the left to forget that the first building that was attack on Bubba’s watch was already weakened by the explosion set off by the religion of peace. Theory my a**!

“Her ‘splainin’ will consisit of wailing on how the scientists are in cahoots with the Bushies “

You wouldn’t believe how many young people I work with still believe the conspiracy theory on 9-11! They have ‘splainin’ for everything, including voice-over for the engineers and 9-11 Commission. They believe the “Bush-ies” had their people voice over the Commissions’ and engineers’ findings so the public wouldn’t realize the attack really did come from our government!

Good Golly Miss Molly!
