architectural and engineering professionals
and 9201
other supporters including A&E students
have signed the petition demanding of Congress
a truly independent investigation.
Join us this Fall with serious actions. In this informal 15 minute video clip, Richard Gage, AIA runs through a quick overview for each of our 6 Action Alerts:
Action #1 - We are asking some of our AE911Truth supporters to travel to DC, along with our AE911Truth staff, to meet with your Congress members.
We are pleased and tremendously excited to share this groundbreaking TV ad with you for the first time. We hope, with your help, to be able to show it to one million New Yorkers one month from now. Please go to BuildingWhat.org to watch the ad and please donate generously. Every $750 we raise is enough for another spot to reach another 10,000 people. Your donation will be fully tax-deductible. 5% of it will go to the WTC Rescuers Foundation. And 5% of it will be matched by another generous donor.
Our strategy for buying spots is guided by two principles. Firstly, showing it to audiences who will respond productively and influence the public discussion, such as young people, academics, journalists and the political class. And secondly, repetition!
The ad will undergo one final edit before we send it off, so we welcome your comments over the next two weeks. We’re all in this together!
Coast to Coast AM 9/11 debate with Richard Gage and Dave Thomas
On Saturday August 21st, 2010, Richard Gage, AIA from Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and Dave Thomas a physicist from New Mexicans for Science and Reason, joined Ian Punnett on Coast to Coast AM for the entire program of 4 hours to debate how the World Trade Center buildings collapsed on September 11, 2001.
Physicist Kim Johnson and chemist Niels Harrit joined the discussion in hour three.
Coast to Coast AM airs on more than 500 stations in the U.S., as well as Canada, Mexico and Guam, and is heard by nearly three million weekly listeners. With hosts George Noory, George Knapp (weekend) and Ian Punnett (weekend), it is the most listened to overnight radio program in North America.
Coast to Coast AM Debate
Note: this debate has been broken down into 11 YouTube videos. The video player posted here should play all videos in sequence, from video 1 to 11. See below for direct links to each video.
The catastrophic destruction of the World Trade Center complex is said by government reports to have resulted from structural failure due mainly to fires initiated by the impacts of the airplanes. A closer look at the evidence reveals a much more disturbing crime.
Aside from the fact that no steel-frame high-rise building has ever collapsed due to fire prior to or since Sept. 11, the manner in which the buildings came down is itself a substantial cause for reinvestigation. A collapse due to fire would likely proceed gradually with large deformations visible in the building’s perimeter, with the building tipping over slowly in the direction of the steadily weakening structural members – to the path of least resistance. Yet the Twin Towers both came down quite suddenly, without warning, and without any “jolt” that would indicate the upper mass impacting the lower. The smooth rate of descent was measured at 2/3 of free-fall. In other words, the building is accelerating (traveling faster and faster) straight down through what should have been the path of greatest resistance – the 80,000 tons of structural steel designed to resist this load. Physicists and other experts agree that this could have happened only if the underlying supporting structures were removed ahead of the falling upper building mass. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) acknowledges that each building was destroyed in fewer than a dozen seconds, and that they “came down essentially in free-fall”.
Welcome to Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. We are a non-partisan association of more than 1,000 A/Es, with about 10,000 affiliates from all over the world. We are technical professional representing more than 25,000 years of collective experience. We do not offer conspiracy theories. We do have serious questions about the official reports of the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11. We are calling for a new independent investigation that includes all of the evidence that is missing from these building reports. We, along with other researchers and groups in the growing international 9/11 truth movement, have compiled critically important eye-witness testimony, photo, video, and scientific forensic evidence that has been ignored, falsified, or destroyed by individuals and agencies that were responsible to the public for a thorough transparent investigation.
We have a number of important activities in Washington DC this fall that need your attention. We will be alerting you in 6 different Action Alerts in 6 days. Pick one that you want to make happen – and pass the others on to your friends.
Action #1 - We are asking some of our AE911Truth supporters to travel to DC, along with our AE911Truth staff, to meet with your Congress members.
Action #2 - We will hold a major press conference and debate/discussion panel at the National Press Club on September 9 while you, once again, hold a concurrent press conference at a government location such as outside your legislator's office in your state.
Action #3 - We are asking all of our AE911Truth supporters to meet with your Congressional representatives in your community – their home turf – by early October.
Action #4 - Help us on Capitol Hill to deliver the AE911Truth petition, with all 1,000 A/E names, our brochure, and our DVD, 9/11: Blueprint for Truth, into the offices of all Congressional representatives on Sept 7 and 8.
Action #5 - Reach 1,000’s in your community by putting “9/11: Blueprint for Truth” on the air with your local public access TV.
Action #6 - Roll-out of AE911Truth Action Groups. Join one or start your own. We already have several in the SF Bay Area. Help the AE911Truth mission succeed in your local area.
Let’s meet together with your Congress member in Washington DC:
We feel that it is essential that we present the simple scientific evidence of the destruction of the 3 WTC skyscrapers to every Congress member and Senator – and maximize our presence in Washington DC this year. We must place 9/11 accountability onto Congress. So, our overall goal this fall is to generate closer relationships with science-qualified advisors. This way we are in a position to move forward if and when a “standard bearer” comes forward.
The AE911Truth staff and I will be joining you with your Congress member and/or his/her science advisor on September 7 or 8. Are you willing and able to make an appointment with the office of your Congress member or senator in Washington DC on those dates? We will visit them with you and give the presentation for you. Maybe you are within driving distance of Washington DC – or would like to fly in to meet with us and your representative. Last year we met with 20 staffers and one Congressman and it was very productive. Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut actually wrote NIST a letter asking them “What about the nano-thermite?”
A. Press Conference and Debate/Panel Discussion Washington DC, National Press Club 9/9/10 B. Concurrent Press Conferences Hosted by You All Around the World 9/9/10
AE911Truth will hold a major press conference and debate / panel discussion at the National Press Club in Washington DC on September 9. Join us in the early afternoon in DC for these events!
More important, please consider organizing a concurrent press conference outside the local office of your Senator or Representative. This September we can show even broader support than at last February’s amazing press conference. We have twice as much lead time this round as we did this past February when you held 4 dozen concurrent press conferences. We also have more exciting news to announce on many different AE911Truth action fronts. Soon we will outline the specifics for you. Let us know if you are willing to build on the action that the groups across the world last February accomplished so that we can have over a hundred concurrent press conferences this time on September 9.
Meet with your Congress members in your community: August, September, October
We have a new approach to holding Congress accountable for the explosive evidence that they have been provided. We seek engagement and discourse with their scientifically qualified advisors. Our goal: an increasing momentum toward a new WTC investigation as we build support for a “standard bearer” to come forward.
We would like you to meet with your local Congress members while they are back in your local area campaigning for your vote. Make the appointment now for mid-August, September, and mid-October.
We encourage you to also make appointments with their opposing candidates. These appointments should be easier to land and may be quite effective.
WTC7 exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire, i.e.
1. Slow onset with large visible deformations
2. Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance (laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling, to the side most damaged by the fires)
3. Evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel
4. High-rise buildings with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never "collapsed".
As seen in this revealing photo, the Twin Towers' destruction exhibited all of the characteristics of destruction by explosives:
No precedent for steel-framed high-rise collapse due to fire
And exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire, i.e.
Slow onset with large visible deformations
Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance (laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling, intact, from the point of plane impact, to the side most damaged by the fires)
