I’m trying to work out how to model the destruction of the towers using glizzies. What would I have to build the towers out of if I wanted to throw hotdogs at them to destroy them?
Cardboard is obviously too strong. Wax paper has too much tensile strength but crumples satisfactorily. Does anyone have ideas on what I should use as the tower materials?
Source on that? Wikipedia seems to say that they suffered a progressive collapse on their own in part because of structural damage from the hits, in part from fires heating the steel supports enough to seriously weaken them.
I watched the plane crash into the building, then witnessed through media reports the cleanup and demolition?
There was definite structural damage, as I said, but the impact didn’t bring the towers down.
What Wikipedia says doesn’t disagree with that.
