The World Trade Center Towers attack was the subject of a two-year Purdue University study. The study created a 3D simulation of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the findings support the U.S. government's findings into why the towers fell, reports the AP.
Excerpt from Purdue News:
The simulation could be used to better understand which elements in the building's structural core were affected, how they responded to the initial shock of the aircraft collision, and how the tower later collapsed from the ensuing fire fed by an estimated 10,000 gallons of jet fuel, said Mete Sozen, the Kettelhut Distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering in Purdue's School of Civil Engineering.
