Overview

Welcome to Architects & Engineers for 9/11Truth. We have put together this summary of information that you need to know. As building and technical professionals, we only discuss the physical and video evidence of the willful destruction of the three skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth has carefully studied publicly available information on the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7, including videos and  photographs, as well as eyewitness and physical evidence.  We approach these collapses as architects and engineers and we find the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST'S) hypotheses untenable.  We conclude that the official explanation is seriously flawed and scientifically impossible. There is substantial, forensic evidence that explosives were present in the Twin Towers and Building 7 and that these explosives destroyed the buildings.

The Evidence

 AE911Truth's - Blueprint for Truth - The Architecture of Destruction (33-min. version)

This is the 33-min. version of the original two-hour Blueprint for Truth - The Architecture of Destruction presentation.  Richard Gage, AIA of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth takes you through most of the scientific forensic evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the destruction of WTC was accomplished with explosive controlled demolition.

Explosive Testimony

 These and other experts are featured in our latest documentary "9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out" 

The one hour version of the film is below...

Physics - WTC7 Free-fall

Physics teacher David Chandler uses simple scientific software to understand and show the free-fall demolition of World Trade Center Building 7

'The North Tower Exploding'

An examination of the North Tower exploding

'Downward Acceleration of the North Tower'

David Chandler's exploration of the downward acceleration of WTC 1

WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Free-fall (Part I)

In its draft report, released in August 2008, NIST attempted to cover up evidence that WTC7 fell at free-fall, but the cover-up was transparent. In its final report, released in November 2008, NIST finally acknowledged free-fall, but couched it in a bizarre framework that continues to deny its clear significance. This video displays the brazenness of the NIST WTC7 cover-up.

"But Hasn't Popular Mechanics debunked this?"

No. 

One of the reasons we frequently hear for why people do not look further into the evidence of controlled demolition on 9/11 is because they have heard that the evidence has been "debunked" by Popular Mechanics.   AE911Truth has developed a series of articles that exposes the fallacies and flaws in the arguments made by Popular Mechanics in the latest edition of its book, Debunking 9/11 Myths.
