Work done by V. Popescu, C. Hoffmann, S. Kilic, M. Sozen, and S. Meador at Purdue University Schools of Computer Science and Civil Engineering.

No sound? A voiceover would be good here. No matter the thoroughness of any analysis, however, it will never be enough to shut-down the conspiracy nut-jobs.

This was really just a study in how possible a large visualization project like this was for a few people to undertake. Not entirely intended to disprove myths (or even be entertaining).

That said, I'll do a voice-over for them right now: "This is a complicated rendereing of the plane hitting the Pentagon... it took a lot of work... we published the work in some journals... thanks to the NSF for the funding."

It does interestingly show how crazy the descent of the plane must have been.

How come you never hear about the sad loss of the people killed in the pentagon? It's like no one cares that people died there too. Or maybe there was no one in the building because they knew!!!! Not really, but how many people died because of that?

This video contributes vastly to prove the conspiracy theorists correct!

Watch with your eyes open and your brain switched on and you will see that the simulation shows debris and flames entering upon impact from wing-tip to wing-tip. The original breach in the Pentagon wall, 20 minutes before the wider collapse, has been widely documented as 18-20 feet. 757 winspan of 124ft and 10 inches.

If you still don't get it, give up on yourself.

I questioned Purdue and C. Hoffman was kind enough to respond to me. His one line was-

'We did not model the exterior wall of the Pentagon in our simulation.'

For a simulation tasked 'to produce a vivid reenactment of the impact of the aircraft on the Pentagon building' this is a huge fault. Our own visual observations are testimony to how grossly misleading this simulation is.

Purdue Study Has Links to US Government:

"A newly released Purdue University animation showing how fire caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 claims to be independent but in reality has been federally funded and was conducted by individuals with direct links to the Pentagon and the White House."

I saw an earlier version of this one a long time ago. It's interesting to see that the aircraft never touched the ground until it hit the building. Flying at such an altitude for an extended period for a 767 is an amazing feat that very few experienced pilots can pull off. It's also lucky for the pentagon that it hit in the one place where it would do minimal damage compared to any other location at that building.

This is absolute horse shit.

@Irishman;
The National Science Foundation funds much of the science in this country. To say receiving NSF funding means you're taking orders from the Pentagon and the White House is hilarious.

I mean... where do you think people get funding for this kind of research? The other major institution for scientific research funding in the US is the National Institute of Health, which funds predominantly medical related research.

And as for the Structural Engineer also being involved in research related to the Oklahoma City Bombing, he's a highly published and widely respected structural engineering researcher specializing in reinforced concrete structure stability. He was approached by the visualization research team to help with modeling accuracy.

Bamdrew,

We are fighters for the sames cause: Science. I fear no matter what proof we give, no matter how rigorous our science, they will never see the logic in our interpretation of the data. Conspriracy theorist grasp so hard onto a belief that to them it is closer to a religion, to which point they will never question again.

Great vids, but there one big problem.
The simulate show ving crashed pentagon without engine??
I supose those engine would do HEAVILY damage than the vings.
This simulate is waste of time and it not a evidence at all because you haven't included two engine.
trying to fool us??
