WTC Simulation Part 2 - Journey to the Final Result: From Failures to Findings (2022-2024)

In this video, I present a series of later test simulations of the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) collapse. These simulations reflect different stages of the development process and are not intended to represent the final or most accurate models. Instead, they provide a behind-the-scenes look at the iterative process required to enhance our understanding of such complex structural failures.

By sharing these failed attempts and prototype simulations, my goal is to illustrate the challenges and learning experiences that were crucial for refining the model of the WTC collapse over time. This video offers a glimpse into the development journey, emphasizing the importance of experimentation and analysis in achieving more accurate results.

Please note that this is not the final version of the World Trade Center collapse simulation but a collection of tests conducted during the research phase. A more refined and accurate simulation will be released soon.
