“Architects & Engineers: Solving the Mystery of WTC 7”

Editorial Introduction by Dick Zehnle

NIST likes to point out how many scientists and engineers worked on its WTC investigation, and how much time was spent. But the number of participants and the time and money spent does not guarantee a thorough investigation.

NIST’s investigation is not in line with the most basic requirements of the scientific method. This is demonstrated by a closer look at NIST’s examination of the steel, which was based on the premise that nothing other than airplane impact damage and the subsequent fires brought down the Twin Towers. The most relevant question – why did the strong steel frames below the impact area give way? – is ignored. NIST cannot justify its failure to adequately examine the steel with its published results; examining the evidence adequately is a step that needs to be done at the beginning of an investigation.

In addition, NIST substituted for the common method of unaided visual examination of the steel a novel method of a paint-based visual examination which, by design, eliminates from consideration any steel that was heated to above 650 degrees Celsius, at which temperature the paint would have flaked off.  Thus, NIST assured from the outset that it would not even investigate evidence that temperatures above 650 Celsius affected the steel.

This and further problems concerning NIST’s steel examination are discussed in an article that can be found here.

An abridged version of the article is provided here and in the newsletter.

Watch for Young in the DVD
“9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out”
Premieres Everywhere September 7-11

Architect Les Young, on the destruction of the WTC skyscrapers: “There’s definitely much more going on than just fire.”

One of the experts speaking out in the new DVD, 9/11: Explosive Evidence, is Les Young, a high-rise architect with 20 years of experience working in California and New York. His total testimony is previewed in a 14-minute video on our website. He has been involved in many large, difficult projects including high-rises ranging from 14 to 40 stories in height.

Prior to becoming an architect, Young was a professional fire fighter for four years. He said, “Never in my training were we ever taught that these types of buildings could just collapse in on themselves…not a Type 1 or Type 2 high-rise building…”

Buffalo Hosts AE911Truth Presentation in Prelude to Anniversary Events

As the world remembers the WTC catastrophe, Richard Gage, AIA, and other technical professionals will be explaining how explosives brought those buildings down

On September 6, Richard Gage, AIA, will bring the compelling evidence for controlled demolition to Buffalo, New York, in a prelude to the 10th anniversary activities. This will mark the first time that Gage visits Buffalo to share the explosive evidence detailed in 9/11: Blueprint for Truth.

“I look forward to meeting with the people of Buffalo as commemorative events turn our attention toward the 9/11 anniversary,” Gage remarked. “We hope that this presentation will signal the beginning of an enlightening week in New York.”

The time and venue for this event will be announced next week, so stay tuned to our Events page for updates.

Though Danny Jowenko is no longer with us, his expert analysis and fearless testimony remain as an example to those who seek the truth about 9/11

"It starts from below... They have simply blown away columns."

"This is controlled demolition."

"A team of experts did this."

These startling words, spoken by controlled demolition expert Danny Jowenko in 2006, ignited an international discussion over the destruction of WTC Building 7, and added to the professional voices at AE911Truth who have challenged the official explanation. As we mourn Jowenko’s tragic death on July 16, we look back at how his impromptu interview shed light onto one of the greatest mysteries of the 9/11 catastrophe.

Jowenko was the owner of Jowenko Explosieve Demolitie, a controlled demolitions company headquartered in the Netherlands. He had over 30 years of building demolition experience, and his knowledge of explosives was so respected that he was sought as a contributor to the ImplosionWorld production of "A History of Structural Demolition in America".

As we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Pacifica Radio (KPFA) will be hosting the second radio debate between architect Richard Gage, AIA, and physicist Dave Thomas in New York City. Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff, directors and editors of Project Censored, will moderate.

Pacifica is the oldest public radio network in the U.S. Project Censored, housed at Sonoma State University and now in its 35th year, has been referred to by the Los Angeles Times as “offering devastating evidence of the dumbing-down of mainstream news in America”; as “one of the organizations that we should listen to, to be assured that our newspapers and our broadcasting outlets are practicing thorough and ethical journalism” by Walter Cronkite and as “a terrific resource” by Library Journal.

To capitalize on the strategic importance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the International Center for 9/11 Studies is sponsoring a four-day set of hearings, September 8-11, at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. Officially called “The International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001”, this historic gathering of panelists, expert witnesses, and numerous key figures in the 9/11 truth movement is being more commonly referred to as the “Toronto Hearings.” Focusing primarily on the scientific forensic and other evidence and eyewitness testimony, with emphasis on the destruction of the three World Trade Center high-rises, the Hearings will identify some of the best evidence regarding the events of 9/11, thus encouraging and enabling national and/or international legal agencies to pursue formal investigations.

Planning for the Hearings is currently underway and being coordinated by a Steering Committee, an Advisory Committee and several Working Groups. The Steering Committee is comprised of James Gourley, Laurie Manwell, Graeme MacQueen, Kevin Ryan and Adnan Zuberi. The Hearings will be moderated by Michael Keefer, Professor of English at the University of Guelph, and Matthew Witt, Associate Professor of Public Administration at the University of LaVerne.
