The 9/11 Truth movement has been wrestling for years over the challenge of how to obtain a real investigation that would analyze the evidence, such as brought forth by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and countless others, and follow it wherever it leads. Many, for instance, don’t trust that the US Congress (which brought us the omissions and distortions of the 9/11 Commission Report) would have the political will or the simple veracity to expose these incalculable misdeeds and trace them to their roots. Indeed perhaps most who are seeking justice believe that it will only be found in a venue outside of the United States.

One ray of hope inside the US might be a prominent initiative – Sen. Patrick Leahy’s “Truth Commission” – though currently stalled. A special prosecutor could be appointed as was done to investigate President Nixon, but we know that that is not going to happen unless 9/11 Truth becomes much more familiar to the US public. The idea of universal jurisdiction is controversial but is gaining increasing acceptance. It dates back at least to the 1945 Nuremberg Trials. Citing the concept of universal jurisdiction, two Spanish judges indicted Augusto Pinochet and six Bush administration figures. One of those judges is currently at the International Criminal Court.  There are efforts underway to contact him.

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.

Apart from the fact that no steel-framed 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 re-investigation. 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 “jolts” that would indicate the upper mass impacting the lower mass. The smooth rate of descent was measured at 2/3 of free-fall. In other words, the building was accelerating (traveling faster and faster second by second) straight down through what should have been the path of greatest resistance – the 80,000 tons of structural steel below that was at least five times stronger than necessary 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”.

Seven hours after the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, a third high-rise building collapsed. The characteristic signs of controlled demolition were abundant.

Although it received little media attention at the time, the third-worst structural building failure in modern history occurred on September 11, 2001. World Trade Center (WTC) Building 7 was a 47-story, steel-framed, fire-protected, high-rise office building located about a football field’s length from the WTC North Tower. Unlike its two taller cousins, WTC 7 was never hit by an aircraft, yet it fell to the ground suddenly, displaying the classic signatures of explosive controlled demolition.

The evidence (discussed in this article) was ignored, mishandled, and/or covered up by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the federal agency tasked with explaining its unprecedented destruction.

A Mysterious Catastrophe

Welcome to Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. We are a non-partisan association of more than 1,700 A/Es, with about 16,000 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 all 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 eyewitness 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.

Dear fellow AE911Truth supporters,

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.

Action #1

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?”
