I’m trying to work out how to model the destruction of the towers using glizzies. What would I have to build the towers out of if I wanted to throw hotdogs at them to destroy them?

Cardboard is obviously too strong. Wax paper has too much tensile strength but crumples satisfactorily. Does anyone have ideas on what I should use as the tower materials?

    What level of accuracy are you looking for? The towers weren’t destroyed by the jets; they punched holes in the side and damaged the overall structural integrity while starting massive fires and causing glass to shatter.

    The towers were demolished after the fact via controlled explosive charges because they were no longer safe to enter.

      Office prank. It doesn’t need to be scientific, the towers dont need to catch fire but if the hotdog goes through them and it takes a moment to collapse then that is ideal.

      I was considering jello towers but that might require a lot of food engineering unless I use like little smokies for the planes.
