911 Free Fall with Andy Steele

Firefighting captain and author joins call for new WTC 7 investigation

Firefighting expert Raul Angulo has studied both the NIST report on WTC 7 and the report issued by the University of Alaska Fairbanks that refutes it, and he concludes that a new WTC 7 investigation is definitely needed.

In this week’s episode of 9/11 Free Fall, the retired captain sits down with host Andy Steele to discuss his take on the WTC 7 evidence and his own efforts to raise awareness about the need to acknowledge the truth about what really brought Building 7 down on September 11, 2001.

Angulo served with the Seattle Fire Department for 36 years, holding leadership positions with several firefighting organizations. He has published more than 350 articles in major firefighting magazines and is the author of Engine Company Fireground Operations (fourth edition), published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Jones & Bartlett Learning.

This week, Angulo published an article in the International Fire and Safety Journal that outlines the many problems with NIST’s WTC 7 investigation.

Achilles’ heels and silver bullets that annihilate the official 9/11 story

This week on 9/11 Free Fall, Ted Walter and Andy Steele get together to discuss certain aspects of the controlled demolition evidence that often get overlooked but are fatal to the official explanation of the World Trade Center’s destruction.

They start with the four points covered in Steele’s recent article, “Silver Bullets: Four Easily Observed Facts that Strike the NIST Reports Dead in Their Tracks.” Then they touch on the North Tower’s “spire,” a subject recently explored by civil engineer Jonathan Cole in his presentation “9/11 and the Scientific Method | Part 1: Motion.”

There was no fire in the northeast corner of the 12th floor when Building 7 went down! The top of the North Tower couldn’t possibly have destroyed the bottom — or 60 stories of the core would not have remained standing! Tune in and come away armed with these and other key points of evidence.

Engineer Jef Bishop: ‘You don’t keep the public safe by lying about why that building collapsed’

This week on 9/11 Free Fall, engineer Jef Bishop joins host Andy Steele to give a recap of his recent, very well-received presentation on Building 7 to the Biloxi, Mississippi, branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers. 

Bishop and Steele also talk about the larger battle to get the 9/11 evidence out to engineers and to the general public in the face of an increasing clampdown on the free exchange of ideas by most professional institutions and internet platforms, respectively.

ASCE: The holy scripture of 9/11 will not be challenged

Richard Johns, co-author of a long-censored technical paper on the Twin Towers’ destruction, and AE911Truth’s Ted Walter are this week’s guests on 9/11 Free Fall.

They talk with host Andy Steele about the latest developments in the decade-long saga involving Johns’ paper, which he and co-author Tony Szamboti first submitted to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Journal of Engineering Mechanics in 2011.

Their paper was critiquing an earlier paper by Zdeněk Bažant and Jia-Liang Le that purported to explain how, through gravity alone, the top of the North Tower could crush through the structure below it without observably slowing down.

Their paper was finally rejected as “out of scope” in 2013, more than two years after they submitted it. One of the editors who rejected it, Kaspar Willam, was a contractor on the NIST WTC investigation. The other editor, Roberto Ballarini, was a colleague and co-author of Le’s. Nine years later, Johns and Szamboti are still fighting to have their paper published.

Walter also updates listeners on a separate paper that civil engineer Jonathan Cole submitted last month to the ASCE’s Journal of Structural Engineering, critiquing a new paper by Bažant and Le.

Cole’s paper was rejected just two days after submission by editor John van de Lindt, whose Center of Excellence for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning at Colorado State University receives $4 million per year in funding from NIST and works directly with NIST WTC investigator Therese McAllister.

Engineer Brian Thompson on analyzing the South Tower and standing up to the official story

Engineer Brian Thompson, who spoke at AE911Truth's "Forbidden Truth" symposium, joins host Andy Steele to discuss how he was brought into the fight for 9/11 Truth, the need for professional voices to not shy away from speaking out about their doubts, and his findings when analyzing the fall of the South Tower on September 11th.

Aiming for Checkmate: Ted Walter on defeating the 9/11 cover-up

How the TV networks hid the Twin Towers’ explosive demolition: An interview with Graeme MacQueen

This week on 9/11 Free Fall, distinguished 9/11 scholar Graeme MacQueen joins host Andy Steele to talk about the soon-to-be-published paper he co-authored with Ted Walter entitled “The Triumph of the Official Narrative: How the TV Networks Hid the Twin Towers’ Explosive Demolition on 9/11.”

“The Triumph of the Official Narrative” is the second part of a two-part series that MacQueen and Walter started two years ago with the paper “How 36 Reporters Brought Us the Twin Towers’ Explosive Demolition on 9/11.”

In that paper, they reviewed 70 hours of news coverage and found that the “explosion hypothesis” was the dominant hypothesis among reporters on the ground. In this new paper, using the same 70 hours of news coverage, they examine how the official narrative supplanted what journalists on the ground were reporting.

Don’t miss this fascinating interview with Graeme MacQueen and stay tuned for the publication of the paper next week!

Fighting for Truth and Basic Accountability: Mick Harrison and Ted Walter on the NIST Building 7 lawsuit

This week on 9/11 Free Fall, attorney Mick Harrison and AE911Truth Director of Strategy Ted Walter join host Andy Steele to break down the latest on AE911Truth's lawsuit against NIST over the agency's refusal to correct its fraudulent Building 7 report.

Together Harrison and Walter dismantle last week's lower court ruling - which dismissed the case on the grounds that AE911Truth and eight 9/11 family members lacked standing - and they talk about AE911Truth's plan to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

‘Facts Will Always Defeat Fear’: Eric Francis-Wright on the post-9/11 world

This week on 9/11 Free Fall, structural engineer Eric Francis-Wright joins host Andy Steele to talk about his experience as a young boy in Queens on September 11, 2001; about being an engineer who challenges the official story; and about the importance of staying true to oneself in a world of conformity.

Though only 11 years old on 9/11, Francis-Wright questioned the idea of a pancake collapse of the Twin Towers from the very beginning. Today, he is confident that the official report issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology will be exposed as untrue in his lifetime.

Architect and US Naval Commander Warren Smith: It's not un-American to question 9/11

Former US Naval Reserve commander and practicing architect Warren Smith, based in New York's Hudson Valley, shares his perspective on the WTC controlled demolition evidence with host Andy Steele. Smith also demolishes the claim that questioning the official version of 9/11 is in any way disrespectful to members of the military who served in the resulting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
