The rebuttal discussion was based on structural engineering dynamics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although FF911Truth released their video in 2020, ae911 actually began their work much earlier. In 2012, ae911 released its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1l-8PFk8j5I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>, 9\/11: Explosive Evidence &#8211; Experts Speak Out, on the WTC collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ae911 video begins with an overview of the WTC7 collapse, and at the 17\u201d:40 mark begins the discussion on challenges to the Commission&#8217;s Report as to the cause of the Twin Towers collapse. At the end of the video there is a discussion on how difficult it is to think that our government might have taken part in this, or at least might be deliberately omitting important information. Their work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae911truth.org\/twenty-years-of-standing-for-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continues<\/a> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A longer and more in-depth version of the ae911 video can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4tTMMNTisBM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are counter arguments to ae911&#8217;s work. National Geographic released a rebuttal to ae911&#8217;s work with its own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JXWCMBuusMI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> in 2009, to which ae911 <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.ae911truth.org\/en\/faqs\/174-national-geographic-channel-on-911-manipulation-vs-objectivity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">responded<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/factually.co\/fact-checks\/media\/why-people-believe-9-11-conspiracy-theories-how-experts-debunk-claims-fe9229\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Others<\/a> have <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/09\/11\/9-11-conspiracy-theories-debunked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contributed<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/factually.co\/fact-checks\/media\/why-people-believe-9-11-conspiracy-theories-how-experts-debunk-claims-fe9229\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reasons<\/a> why ae911 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/military\/a66051920\/911-myths-debunked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrong<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/centerforinquiry.org\/video\/debunking-9-11-conspiracy-theories-mick-west\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">including<\/a> one individual with no science or engineering <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mick_West\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">background<\/a>, who explains how ae911 is <a href=\"https:\/\/centerforinquiry.org\/video\/debunking-9-11-conspiracy-theories-mick-west\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrong<\/a> with a lighter and penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A televisions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt15567238\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">show<\/a>, Sabin Civil <a href=\"https:\/\/grokipedia.com\/page\/Sabin_Civil_Engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engineering<\/a>, also gave its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KMvCWFCoVN4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explanation<\/a> of why WTC7 fell. Perhaps a more \u201clegitimate\u201d or \u201ctrusted\u201d debunking is from the much-trusted Council of Foreign Relations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/articles\/ten-resources-debunking-september-11-conspiracy-theories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CFR<\/a>) with its list of resources supporting their stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/world-trade-center-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIST<\/a>, safety was enhanced as a result of 9\/11. In spite of the many questions surrounding 9\/11, NIST has only stood by its original conclusions. Meanwhile, further <a href=\"https:\/\/ine.uaf.edu\/projects\/wtc7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigations<\/a> have continued to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae911truth.org\/images\/PDFs\/UAF-Final-Report-Release-03-25-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support<\/a> ae911 <a href=\"https:\/\/files.wtc7report.org\/file\/public-download\/A-Structural-Reevaluation-of-the-Collapse-of-World-Trade-Center-7-March2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conclusions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s7_IUcKCRho\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentary<\/a>, 9\/11 Decade of Deception, is of a 2011 conference held in Toronto that included witnesses and researchers, one of which was Richard Gage, the ae911 <a href=\"https:\/\/www0.ae911truth.org\/about\/53-richard-gage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Founder<\/a>. Gage has continued his work on 9\/11 with his own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/richardgage911.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The International Center for 9\/11 <a href=\"https:\/\/ic911.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a>&nbsp;just concluded a four day <a href=\"https:\/\/ic911.org\/news\/turning-the-tide-2026-watch-every-moment-of-this-four-day-tour-de-force\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conference<\/a>, Turning the Tide 2026.

While many have chosen to adopt a belief that America is now in the right hands because of its elected leadership, it is difficult to accept that anything has changed since 9\/11. Covert activities that are just as dangerous for Americans continue. However, as suggested in the 9\/11 information, the difficulty in accepting a narrative that is different than from one&#8217;s own beliefs&#8230;well, let&#8217;s just say that phenomenon easily continues today in spite of all the warnings swirling around to not believe in or trust that all is good. Do as these individuals continue to do, question and investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, here is a snapshot of two opposing views of what happened to three buildings on 9\/11. Which case was made more successfully is what must be decided by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"10  WTC TT   Part 1   Myth Unravels - ESO - Experts Speak Out\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c18kPAtkJh0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the previous post, Firefighters for 9-11 Truth (FF911Truth) and Architects &amp; Engineers for 9\/11 Truth (ae911), challenged the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conclusion about what caused the World Trade Center 7 (WTC7) collapse, and the 9\/11 Commission Report&nbsp;about the cause of the World Trade Center&nbsp;Twin Towers (WTC) collapse.
