A computer simulation has again shown, 25 years later, the exact moments of the World Trade Center collapse in New York, revealing what the dust cloud from the September 11, 2001 attacks usually obscured. The animation allows us to observe the towers' structure collapsing without the presence of smoke or debris, offering a clearer view of the phenomenon.
The video simulation was shared on the anniversary of a quarter of a century since the terrorist attacks that killed almost three thousand people. The simulation strips away the visual elements that normally accompany the actual footage of the collapse, allowing for a more detailed analysis of the falling mechanics.
The presentation of these seconds from a new perspective has generated renewed interest in the technical analysis of what happened that day. The massive dust cloud that formed during and after the towers' collapse has always obscured part of the events, and the simulation helps to better understand the sequence of facts.
