Simulations of the planes' passage through the buildings may also explain the mystery of why some people on the very floors the planes struck could survive the impact: instead of exploding horizontally, the shattered planes were actually somewhat compacted by the dynamics of the crashes.
The most effective of these two-plane passages is the section where Mr. Cunningham and the other men come out with canes.
Two were fired at the time of the plane's passage, but within an exclusion zone set up to protect commercial airliners from accidents, officials said.
Fluxes on the top plane of the passage volume reverse from outflow to inflow in the cases of α = 135°, 150° and 165°.

Bourke said that warring parties in Syria, including Russia, would have to be consulted to ensure the plane's safe passage, but played down the Russian Foreign Ministry's assertion that the UN was teaming up with Moscow and Assad's government.
The Mutsinzi commission brought in independent British ballistics experts to establish the trajectory and origins of the missiles that struck the plane; and, in passages of the report that read like pure farce, they traced the mystery of the black box from the cockpit, which kept disappearing and reappearing and ultimately vanished.
In another scene, he's trapped underwater while trying to escape from a plane crash — an uncomfortable passage to watch, given the recent Malaysia plane crash.
"I believe that they [safety officials] have done their duty properly, and I would not have wished to place any pressure on them to have acted faster, than was compatible with the safe passage of planes," Lord Adonis said.
The passages were expensive (plane tickets in the twenties cost up to fifty per cent more than first-class fares on trains and ocean liners), yet the trips could not be called luxurious.
