washington journal continues now we want to introduce you to richard gage she is the founder of a group called architects and engineers for nine eleven and mr gage what is that group we are a group of twenty two hundred architects engineers a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding out what really happened at the world trade center with the destruction of all three towers on that day and what do you have doubts about well the architects and engineers that i represent have found evidence that has not been told to the american people by the agencies tasked with explaining these the destruction of these towers evidence of controlled demolition particularly with the third high rise that collapsed on that day in the afternoon of nine eleven world trade center seven we're looking forward to sharing with your viewers that evidence today well let's look at a knock it down mr gage i was building seven dan rather narrating on c b s why it sure was and most americans are completely unfamiliar with this in fact architects engineers around the world mostly all unfamiliar with the third worst structural failure in modern history i mean here is a forty seven story skyscraper at five twenty in the afternoon it drops like a rock and i mean this fast freefall acceleration straight down uniformly symmetrically as you saw now a building with forty thousand tons of structural steel cannot fall straight down like like we saw due to normal office fires the official reason given us by nist the national institute of standards and technology without all eighty columns on each floor being removed simultaneously and then synchronistically time to floor by floor so peter we've seen this like the old hotels in las vegas and as our viewers just saw it looks exactly like a controlled demolition but nist tells us no this came down due to normal office fires so you can begin to see the problem right off the bat normal office fires have never brought down a skyscraper ever before we have steel frame fireproof skyscrapers for very good reason and they have protected our towers for a long long time so the twenty two hundred architects and engineers that i represent around the world in over three hundred presentations now in thirty two countries and eighty two american cities over they say they have they present the evidence for the explosive demolition and that evidence is seen not only in the videos of the buildings but it's heard by the first responders  structural engineer cites river of steel flowing now these are are these evidence of temperatures exceeding twenty eight hundred degrees fahrenheit office fires can't even get a thousand degrees short of that so we have a serious problem very serious and in the accountability under the official story of those extremely high temperatures and evidence of molten iron documented by fema itself in the first report appendix c in the fema report may have two thousand and two which documents hot sulphur corrosion in fact the author of that report jonathan barnett says the ends of the beams were partially evaporated that takes four thousand degree temperatures the only thing that we're aware of that can create that is thermite thermite  incendiary used by the military to cut through steel like a hot knife through butter and there are patented cutter charges that do just that with thermite so this is why we have to have a real investigation that looks at the evidence that nist has he judged it from the report after they came in in two thousand and four and threw away the fema report now richard gage nist is national institute of standards and technology is that i believe right yeah you're talking about their report now did you question the falling of building seven the way it fell are you questioning how the twin towers fell as well there are very serious questions about the twin towers once we look at world trade center seven which most people don't know anything about and see how obvious the freefall symmetrical destruction is and how that matches exactly a controlled demolition and how the official story cannot possibly be true where ready then maybe to take a look at  other subject that you bring up the twin towers with a little bit more of an open mind because most of us feel like we know how the twin towers came down because we have been given the official story most architects and engineers don't even question the story that nist has provided and when they do however see the evidence in the twin towers like building seven they do end up agreeing with us by a show of hands overwhelmingly and many of them sign our petition again twenty two hundred architects and engineers now demanding a real investigation so that evidence is certainly available in the videos for instance in the of the north tower we're told that this upper block of ten stories fifteen stories above the point of jet plane impacts in the north tower drew that upper block drove the rest of the building down to the ground and we have a few problems with this story however chiefly that's not what the videos show whatsoever that the proportion is destroying itself before there's any downward motion today too drive the rest of the building down to the ground in four in the first four seconds it's completely destroyed liquefied if you will the structure is completely shattered there is nothing left to drive the rest of the building down and yet what we see after four seconds is exactly what the first responders are describing hundreds of them in the oral history is taken and documented by thomas von essen the fire commission of they say pop up all way around like a belt all these explosions they're describing explosions they're hearing explosions there explosions throughout the building yet none of these hundreds of eyewitness testimony of explosions are included in the official report but what we see is like like they describe a belt all these explosions laterally driving for ton perimeter wall sections structural steel sections l lly sixty miles an hour in every direction landing six hundred feet away isolated freely flying structural steel sections this takes an incredible lateral force up to enough gage on this program because from time to time regular viewers of the journal know that we get phone calls asking about building seven regardless of what segment we're talking about and so we thought we investigate this group and give them a chance to have their say and i want to start with this tweet mr gage it kind of goes to the why and this is jim and les gaston who gains from this building falling why would someone want to demolish it i think criminal investigators who are trained at looking at for suspects in such massive criminal controlled demolitions like these obviously were have to be employed to look at the new means the motive and the opportunity who benefited cui bono these are the questions that enterprising journalists and criminal investigators should be asking but in large measure are not for whatever reason the architects and engineers for nine eleven truth are tasked with the what those those questions you ask why  have to also be answered by those who are trained to find suspects with those with motives and find a motive to let's take some calls mr gage max in milford indiana please go ahead you c span for having mr gage on to tell the inconvenient truth about nine eleven because our whole foreign policy much of our domestic policies today are all based on nine eleven and there are so many questions to be asked and answered about nine eleven like where is the breach at shanksville pennsylvania where are the four black boxes from air point why did the bush administration fight an investigation why did the forty seven story world trade center building seven collapse why were military and political people told not to fly who scheduled the hijacking or games on nine eleven where was norad who told them to stay and these are just a few of the questions th answer thank you well i agree with the caller there's these are some serious and very important questions that americans and millions of them are asking but not getting enough air time and we appreciate c span is dedication to journalism and finally focusing on this subject because after all two wars were started as a result of nine eleven we've lost six thousand soldiers a million people in the middle east have been killed in these wars in iraq and afghanistan we've lost precious
