NIST's claim that the failure of Column 79 led to the entire destruction of WTC7 cannot stand up to even a basic technical analysis

This project was suggested after a careful study of NIST's Final Report on WTC7 showed that the initiation of the building's collapse was officially blamed on the failure of a single connection where a long-span girder met Column 79 on Floor 13. When we considered that such a huge controversy allegedly began from a single connection failure, we decided to take a closer look at that event.

What we found was deeply disturbing. We discovered that NIST had misrepresented that connection, and although it later corrected one aspect, it still has not acknowledged its most critical omission. In our opinion, had NIST used the correct connection elements in its analysis, it would have found that the connection could not have failed and thus would have had to postulate a different initiation event.

To illustrate our findings, we produced four short videos at a technical level that would be understandable by most people. If our findings are accurate, they are strong evidence that a new independent investigation is required to determine why WTC7 fell so rapidly and symmetrically.

Dozens of volunteers on AE911Truth teams make our organization one of the most effective and respected in the 9/11 Truth movement. Additional volunteers with special skills are needed right now to continue our important work as we come close to a momentous 9/11 anniversary and launch our landmark ReThink911 ad campaign. If you've been thinking about taking action in support of our mission, now is the time!

Here are the areas of greatest need:

Political Activists Exposed to Explosive 9/11 Evidence

Many of the thousands who attended the 2013 Left Forum were greeted by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The banner on the wall says, “You can’t stop FBI repression, Islamophobia, militarization, drones, NDAA, or war without first exposing the truth about 9/11.”In our latest effort to educate political groups about 9/11, members of three Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth teams talked with attendees at the 2013 Left Forum for three days in New York City. The Forum, which was held in the eviscerated shadow of the former World Trade Center Twin Towers, provided an excellent opportunity for the AE911Truth Public Outreach Team, the Presenter Team, and the New York City Action Group to educate political activists on the mainstream left about what brought those buildings down.

Editor’s note: To this day, most people, including many architects and engineers, are not aware that a third skyscraper, World Trade Center Building 7, mysteriously collapsed along with the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. The official report on this building’s collapse by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been challenged by many reputable and credentialed technical professionals. The NIST analysis has not undergone the rigors of scientific peer review – the typical pathway for validating significant scientific theories. Chris Sarns’ research appears in Dr. David Ray Griffin’s book titled The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7. The studies below represent years of work by Chris Sarns in unraveling some of the most glaring inconsistencies and outright frauds in the NIST report on World Trade Center 7. He demonstrates that the NIST’s theory of the fire-induced collapse of Building 7 is faulty and misleading.

The destruction of this skyscraper on September 11 was truly unprecedented in the history of high-rise buildings. More than 1,900 architects and engineers at AE911Truth are demanding a new investigation.

Chris Sarns has also been deeply involved in the work of AE911Truth, where he provides his expertise on WTC 7.

9/11 Commemoration Conference, 2013

Friday, September 13 - Sunday, September 15

The Sheraton. Pentagon City, VA, 15th Floor

View preliminary conference agenda PDF here.

View speaker biographies here.

An historic national 9/11 truth conference is planned for September 13-15, 2013 on the occasion of the twelfth anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001.

The conference, which will culminate a week of other 9/11 truth activities planned in Washington this year, is co-sponsored by DC911truth.org, Connecticut 9/11 Truth and Monterey CA 9/11 Truth. We anticipate endorsements from additional 9/11 truth groups and other organizations.

Many outstanding speakers have been invited to participate including Richard Gage, Webster Tarpley, Kevin Barrett, Peter Janney, Barbara Honegger, Barry Kissin, Dick Gregory, Art Olivier, Susan Lindauer, resident witnesses of the Shanksville, PA air disaster, representatives of the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), and representatives of varying sides of the debate on what happened at the Pentagon.

The conference site will be the Sheraton Pentagon City, located yards from and directly opposite to the Pentagon, with a clear view of the west section of the building where the attack occurred.

AE911Truth Makes an Impact at Denver AIA Convention

Editor's note: We have assembled a detailed collection of photos, videos and highlights from the Denver AIA convention at the end of this article. Don't miss it!

AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, shared the vital 9/11 information with other AIA members at our convention "evidence booth"

A dozen AE911Truth volunteers spent three very productive days with several thousand architects in Denver last month. The occasion? The American Institute of Architects' annual convention, which drew 14,000 architects to the Colorado Convention Center on June 20–21. We were certainly strong contenders for the attention of these technical professionals, and we raised a lot of eyebrows as we shared the explosive 9/11 evidence.

AE911Truth has an interesting history with the American Institute of Architects. We have previously attended AIA conventions in Boston, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., where we were able to reach and educate thousands of architects.
