A Critique of the NIST WTC Reports and the Progressive Collapse Theory | Larry Cooper, SE, PE
The tragic destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, resulted in the greatest loss of life of any building failure in history, causing the deaths of 2,763 people.
The ASCE Journal of Engineering Mechanics published a series of influential papers between 2002 and 2011 putting forth a theory that the Twin Towers’ destruction was a progressive collapse caused by the airplane impact damage and the ensuing fires.
Meanwhile, in 2005, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, issued a report concluding that the collapses were indeed caused by the airplane impact damage and ensuing fires. However, NIST limited the scope of its investigation to “collapse initiation” and conducted no analysis to corroborate the ASCE-published theory of why the Twin Towers completely collapsed following the initiating event.
This presentation, based on more than 17 years of research by engineers and scientists, provides a comprehensive critique of the ASCE/NIST progressive collapse theory and argues for a new, truly scientific investigation to be conducted.

Honoring their memory by standing up for truth: Drew DePalma and Bill Brinnier
On this twenty-first anniversary edition of 9/11 Free Fall, Drew DePalma and AE911Truth board member Bill Brinnier talk with host Andy Steele about the impact the 9/11 cover-up has had on their lives. DePalma's mother, Jean, and Brinnier's best friend, Frank De Martini, were both murdered in the horrific demolition of the North Tower on that tragic day 21 years ago.

Forbidden Truth: 9/11 Science at 21 Years | Friday, Sept. 9, at 8pm Eastern
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is delighted to announce “Forbidden Truth: 9/11 Science at 21 Years,” an online symposium about the state of scientific inquiry into the destruction of the three World Trade Center Towers 21 years after the world-changing events of September 11, 2001.
The symposium will be held on Friday, September 9, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM Eastern. It will be open to all free of charge on YouTube and Facebook and will be emceed by Andy Steele, the host of 9/11 Free Fall.
Part 1 of the symposium, “Why 9/11 Matters More than Ever,” will include remarks by AE911Truth CEO Roland Angle and British 9/11 family member Matt Campbell, who is leading his family’s fight for a new inquest into his brother Geoff’s death in the North Tower. We will also play a video featuring several grassroots activists talking about why 9/11 still matters to them.
Part 2, “9/11 Research Today,” will include short presentations on current cutting-edge research by fire protection engineer Brian Thompson, civil engineer Jonathan Cole, AE911Truth director of strategy Ted Walter, and fire protection engineer Scott Grainger, who will be joined by Roland Angle.
Part 3, “Defeating Deception and Denial,” will be a preview of AE911Truth’s upcoming documentary film debunking the official story of the World Trade Center’s destruction. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Dylan Avery and civil engineer Jonathan Cole, who is featured in the film.
The symposium will end with a special announcement about a major new project — so be sure not to miss it!
