September 11, 2001, a day that

Four planes went silent and off

Two of those planes crashed into

Several columns were severed

Hi, I'm Richard Gage, A.I.A,

licensed architect of over

twenty years and member of the

American Institute of

Architects.

I'm founder of Architects and

Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a

non-profit organization of well

over a thousand technical and

building professionals.

According to official government

reports, the fires weakened the

structural steel framing of both

Twin Towers, leading to sudden,

progressive, and total

collapses.

Unknown to most people, a third

steel-frame high-rise, World

Trade Center 7, was also

destroyed.

Critical questions have been

raised by more than 1,500

architects and engineers about

the official explanations for

the destruction of all three of

these buildings.

Along with more than 10,000

other concerned individuals,

these professionals,

collectively comprising more

than 25,000 years of experience,

have signed our petition.

They're calling for a new

investigation into the

destruction of these three World

Trade Center high-rises.

This call is based on evidence

that reveals a very different

destruction scenario than

reported by government

engineers.

As coherent sets of scientific

facts are brought into focus by

the experts, the data, and the

witnesses in this film, you'll

come to a much greater

understanding of the events of

9/11, and will be in a position

to draw your own informed

conclusions.

The new World Trade Center

Building 7 looms above the site

of its original.

Building 7 was a 47-story

high-rise not hit by an

airplane.

Yet it was the third modern

steel-frame skyscraper to

collapse rapidly and

symmetrically on 9/11.

It was a football field away

from the North Tower and

sustained minor damage from

falling debris.

Building 7's precipitous

collapse was blamed on normal

office fires.

One of the things that, that

really interested me is how

quickly that Tower 7 fell.

It fell within seven seconds,

approximately, from top to

bottom.

This building was built in the

mid '80s and met all the codes

at the time.

Was a typical office fire.

Scattered office fires, if you

will, that brought this building

down.

Since the mid '60s, I've tried

to follow high-rise fires

because they're something we

worry a lot about as we

design these buildings, and I'm

not aware of any high-rise

building that have come down as

a result of fires.

>> The coup de grâce for me was

when I found out that Building 7

had collapsed later that day,

and when I saw Building 7 come

down, to me, the fact that it

looks like a perfect controlled

demolition of an intact
