Original caption

9/11 Simulated in 3D - In honor of the victims of September 11, 2001, and everyone affected by that day, we created this simplified 3D simulation using GPT-6 Astra and Blender. It combines rigid-body physics, structural fragmentation, debris, and cinematic visualization to recreate the Twin Towers collapse in a documentary-style format. This is an educational and artistic simulation, not a precise engineering reconstruction of the real event.
