Experts Provide Overwhelming Evidence for New 9/11 Investigation

In a powerful interview, Richard Gage and Kamal Obeid lay out the overwhelming physical and eyewitness evidence pointing to controlled demolition at Ground Zero. This 47-story high-rise collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint at near free-fall speed, free-falling over 100 feet. This type of collapse is characteristic of controlled demolition and has never before occurred in a steel-framed building due to fire.

Gage and Obeid cite 156 first responder eyewitnesses to explosions, and note that audio, video, and documented testimony contradict the official claims. Yet, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) — the government agency tasked with investigating the collapses — refused to test for explosives. They claimed no witnesses, no recordings, and no evidence existed, despite national fire investigation standards requiring such testing when the damage meets the criteria seen on 9/11.

At Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, we affirm that the destruction of physical evidence and NIST’s refusal is neither lawful, ethical, nor scientifically justified. The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards clearly call for explosive residue testing under conditions that exactly match what we saw at Ground Zero. For NIST to deny that requirement is a dereliction of duty — and a denial of truth.

The destruction of Towers 1 and 2 was equally unprecedented. The twin towers didn’t collapse — they exploded. Steel columns were ejected hundreds of feet outward, and concrete was pulverized and blown upwards. These were the first three concrete and steel-framed high-rise buildings in history to “collapse” from fire — and yet, no meaningful changes to building codes or firefighting strategy were implemented afterward. That fact alone demands deeper scrutiny.

Jimmy Dore’s platform helped amplify this crucial conversation. Gage, representing RichardGage911.org and founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth) and Obeid, representing AE911Truth, shared evidence and discussed the newly released Presidential Commission on 9/11 report — a joint effort by Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, AE911Truth.org, IC911.org (the International Center for 9/11 Justice), RichardGage911.org, and the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry.

This report calls on the President of the United States to create a Presidential Task Force to re-investigate the collapse of World Trade Center 7 and other key aspects of 9/11. We at Firefighters for 9/11 Truth fully support this effort and thank Jimmy Dore, Richard Gage, and Kamal Obeid for continuing to shine a light where so many have refused to look.
