1,000 Architects & Engineers Call for
New 9/11 Investigation
And Cite Evidence of Explosive Demolition
at Three World Trade Center Towers
Location:
____________________
Today, the non-profit organization,
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth announce that we now have over 1,000 architects and engineers now demanding a new investigation into the destruction
of the three World Trade
Center skyscrapers on September 11, 2001.
Yes, that would include the Twin Towers as well as Building 7, the third
high-rise to be destroyed that day.
Richard Gage, AIA, architect and founder
of AE911Truth, is also announcing this decisive milestone today at the primary
press conference in San Francisco, and it is also being held in numerous cities
through-out the world.
After careful examination of the official explanation
of these “collapses”, and along with the eyewitness and testimony and forensic
data, omitted from the official reports, these professionals have concluded that
a new independent investigation into these catastrophic events is needed.
Mr. Gage is delivering the more detailed news
about this major development and is accompanied by signers of the Architects
& Engineers for 9/11 Truth petition. These prominent architectural and
engineering professionals will discuss our organization’s findings and
concerns. A brief outline of the explosive evidence compiled will be followed
by Q & A. Detailed information will
be found in “9/11: Blueprint for Truth –
The Architecture of Destruction,” the DVD we have produced. It is available on our website AE911Truth.org,
which analyzes the scientific forensic
evidence concluding that the three skyscrapers in New York city were demolished
with explosives on 9/11.
We base our
conclusions solely on forensic evidence. Mr. Gage notes: “The official FEMA and NIST reports provide
insufficient, contradictory, and fraudulent
accounts of the towers’ destruction. We
are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of the individuals
responsible at NIST, including Shyam Sunder and John Gross.”
The destruction
of the third high-rise, World Trade
Center 7, a 47-story building which was not
hit by an aircraft, yet came down in pure
free-fall acceleration for more than 100 feet - a significant fact that NIST
has been forced to admit, due to research conducted by our AE911Truth petition
signers. Yet they fail to
review or acknowledge the obvious implications – that the columns must have
been explosively severed within fractions of second of each other. We encourage you to review this startling
collapse on our website,
A-E-9-1-1-T-r-u-t-h.org
Other disturbing
facts culled from the forensic evidence include:
§
The complete
destruction and dismemberment of Building 7 in just 6 ˝ seconds through the
path of what was greatest resistance,
vertically and symmetrically, including 2 1/2 seconds of pure free-fall (zero
resistance)
§
The complete
destruction and dismemberment of both Twin Towers in just 10 to 14 seconds,
which is near free-fall acceleration –
again, requiring all 47 massive core columns to be explosively severed.
§
Over
100 first responder reported sounds of explosions and flashes of light at the
onset of destruction
§
Multi-ton
steel perimeter wall sections were ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph
§
The Mid-air
pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking
§
A 1200-foot-diameter
debris field:
§
There
should have been 110 floors stacked up at the bottom of this “gravitational
collapse” (220 acres of 4” thick concrete slabs) yet no floors are seen in the
photos – just a 2 story pile of shredded building materials.
§
We
see isolated explosive ejections of pulverized building materials 20 – 40
stories below the “collapsing” portion of the building
§
Firefighters
and engineers found several tons of molten metal in the debris under each of
the three high-rises – yet fires and jet fuel cannot possibly be responsible
for these temperatures. FEMA documents in
their May 2002 BPAT report, Appendix C - the melting of steel beams, “like
Swiss cheese”
§
Evidence
of thermite incendiaries has been found by scientists in the previously molten
iron/steel, dust, and samples.
§
Evidence
of advanced explosive nanothermitic composite material was found in the dust samples
by an international team of scientists. This substance is manufactured only in
the most sophisticated defense contracting laboratories. What is it doing in the World Trade Center
Dust.
§
There
is no precedent for steel-framed high-rises collapsing due to fire.
AE911Truth’s conclusions are shared by
thousands of scientists; senior-level military, intelligence and government
officials; pilots and aviation professionals; firefighters; scholars and
university professors; 9/11 survivors and their family members; and other
professionals around the world (www.patriotsquestion911.com, www.firefightersfor911truth.org,
www.journalof911studies.com).
The implications are enormous and is
likely to have impact on the forthcoming Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed trial.
The 9/11 Truth Movement, which Time magazine in 2006 called “a
mainstream political reality,” continues to gain momentum. As AE911Truth’s own
influence grows, Richard Gage, AIA has embarked on well over 130 speaking
events, covering 20 states and 13 countries, including Australia, New Zealand,
and Japan at the end of 2009. Our organization regularly attends architectural
conventions, most recently in San Francisco, Washington DC, and Richmond VA, where
educating hundreds of architects and engineers and sharing the research
systematically results in new signatories to the petition and additional
support for a new independent investigation. He has been interviewed by print and broadcast media
around the world on this topic – including BBC, CBC, NatGeo, Fox TV, etc.

Thank you for coming today. I will try to answer your questions now…
