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.
3D Studio was used to create the movies; a custom importer imported aircraft and building data into FEM [finite element analysis] software (LS-Dyna).
