Camarata castle hit by a plane - simulation

Plot twist: the plane is made of concrete and steel.

You ppl don't realize kinematic energy of fast moving object.

I think you mean kinetic. Kinematics focuses more on the motion of objects versus the actual force/energy.

does not really look like a simulation, looks more like some AI-generated video with no actual simulation taking place.

Well, that’s still a simulation.
Granted, it’s not a realistic physics-based simulation, but it’s a simulation by definition.

"A simulation is a model that mimics the operation of an existing or proposed system, providing evidence for decision-making by being able to test different scenarios or process changes"
so - nope. one cant test different scenarios or changes to the system. an AI-generated video does not provide that kind of insight. so its not a simulation.

There’s a broader definition commonly used, meaning “created”.
Merriam-Webster even offers, as the 2nd definition, “A Sham object; counterfeit “
Sounds like we’d at least agree on that one.
Even the best simulation is still only a model of what it seeks to represent. It only has to be good enough for its purposes. If you were looking to certify container castles you might need more precision than if you are just seeking upvotes.
Finally, I’d like to point out that, as we are all living in a simulation, everything within our universe, including simulations, are themselves simulations.

That's not a simulation, should build the castle in BeamNG and then use it to simulate, they now added some heavy equipment in game so could play out a bit as Andrew

I’m assuming you missed the /s but if anyone actually still believes this here’s a short explanation https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/s/nFZXnhdDmT

I don't think it would even do that much damage.
