This simulation explores how dangerous particles could spread in lower Manhattan. Here particles are colored by their velocity relative to the wind speed.

In this top-down view, the particles spread, initially in a high concentration by following the streets between buildings.

Drafts on the wind-protected side of skyscrapers help lift particles to higher elevations.
