September 10, 2013 "Information Clearing House - Did
you know that a 3rd building fell on 9-11? That bill board is today over
Times Square. It was placed there through donations to a campaign called
Rethink 9/11.
In fact, that group has placed posters and signs across the world,
from Australia, to Canada, from San Francisco to right here in New York City.
So what is Rethink 9/11? Wouldn’t only a fringe group of
people would still question 9/11? Perhaps not, because today we will tell
you about new polling that shows a majority of those polled either question the
official 9/11 story or don’t believe it at all. Is that possible?
The first step toward truth, is to be informed.
Here in New York City, today at the site of the 9/11 Memorial,
promises to never forget what happened the morning of September 11th, 2001.
But never forgetting doesn’t mean that you don’t rethink what you have
been told.
Rethink 911 is the first ever global 9/11 anniversary campaign.
Sponsored by a coalition of more than 40 organizations, ReThink911 is placing
ads in 11 major cities around the world this September 2013.
But what is there to rethink? According to a group called
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, you need to start by rethinking the
third building that fell that day.
Building 7, behind me. That rectangular building is
the new building 7. It stands a little smaller but in the same place
where the original World Trade Center 7 once stood.
To be fair, the collapse of building 7 has long been the claims of
conspiracy theorists. In 2008, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology or (NIST) released its long-awaited report on the collapse of World
Trade Center 7. The lead investigator Shyam Sunder told
journalists, “WTC 7 collapsed because of fires fuelled by office
furnishings. It did not collapse from explosives or from diesel fuel fires.”
But that claim has been taken on by that rapidly growing group
known as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Today, more than 2,000 progressional architects and engineers from
around the world have joined together to say that the NIST claim that Building
7 came down because of office fires is not only untrue, it is not possible. That
no skyscraper in history has ever come down that way.
That the way Building 7 fell was without the building tipping or
rocking and that in order to fall like this, a building could only come down IF
all the internal columns supporting building were to give way at the same time.
Enginneering is a technical field but most of us would know this
as a controlled demolition.
To better understand the claims of AE for 9/11 Truth, I talked
with Tony Szamboti, a mechanical design engineer with 27 years of experience in
the aerospace and communications industries and one of the 2,000 engineers
calling for an a new, independent investigation of the collapse of Building 7
and the World Trade Center towers.
Swann: “So you look at this image of the building falling,
again NIST says that its office fires that have caused this. You say..
‘give me another example?’”
Szamboti: “There is no other example.”
Swann: “No other example in the world?”
Szamboti:
“They have no other example,”
Swann:
“So this has never happened? This would be the first building in
the world to come down this way?”
Szamboti: “And they say that. They say that thermal
expansion caused it. What I say caused it and you can cut this out or
leave it in, but I think they took out the core columns for 8 full stories, and
that pulled in the exterior. When you have controlled demotion, and when
take the core out, you pull in exterior and it comes down. When you take
out 8 stories it all comes in.”
Swann: “What happens if you leave half of them? If it
is not a controlled demolition and you have a failure of some columns?”
Szamboti: “Then you have a partial collapse.”
And there is another issue of how NIST says Building 7 came down.
The say it was normal office fires. The technical explanation is
that floor beams expanded because of heat and ultimately pushed a single
column, column 79 off of its seating. That, NIST says, caused the entire
collapse of the building. But what NIST told the public in 2008 was the
reason these columns were pushed loose is because they were unrestrained.
What was discovered last year in 2012 after a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request was granted, that claim was not true, that the
columns were not unrestrained. In fact there were 3,896 shear studs
holding those columns in place.
Szamboti: “One is, the beams could not expand far enough and if
they could expand enough, those stiffeners would stop that girder from falling
off. They were bonded.”
Swann: “But for the person that say, so you have so disagreements
on some technical things.”
