They used this demonstration to pose the question as to why those wire spools still are sitting close to the building if a jet engine just roard past them and into the building.
Also the actual hole in the building, prior to it collapsing was about 14ft by 16 ft. Which is less than have the size of the plane's width and height. |
That demonstration is lots of fun, and it's even accurate. However, the assumption is that the engines approached from an angle that would effect the spools. The spools in question were never in play.
As far as the hole in the building, that's not surprising at all. The concrete is going to "give" as little as possible and try to make sure that the plane fits through the smallest hole possible. You could squeeze me through an entire keyhole if you applied enough force - or make an entire jetliner go through a 14' x 16' hole.
BTW - I revised my post #10 to make it clearer. I didn't like the way it read.
