Because they don't want to teach terrorists how to take down skyscrapers?
- pupdogg 5y agoTwo planes are hijacked and then rammed into two of the tallest buildings in the world. Both buildings collapse, while causing another 3rd building to collapse as well. I'm not sure how a mathematical model would help/teach the terrorist any more than the already available public videos of the attacks.
- cherioo 5y agoThe model may help terrorists destroy buildings without hijacking planes.
- pupdogg 5y agoGood point but I think the planes were a crucial control for their simulation/modeling.
- postalrat 5y agoSo could computers. Ban computers?
- anonAndOn 5y agoUsing a truck in the garage in '93 didn't work. So they went back to the drawing board. We all know what happened when the Rebel Alliance got the plans to the Death Star.
- coryrc 5y agoBetter positioning and it may have worked...
- knownjorbist 5y agoIt wasn't just a 3rd building, either - there was a lot that had to be demolished.
- pan69 5y agoIt sounds unlikely to me that some terrorists have figured out a secret way to collapse skyscrapers with an airliner that architects and engineers haven't figured out already and which wouldn't be part of the curriculum of becoming an architect or engineer in the first place.
