25 Years of 9/11 Cover-Up Exposed - Interview with Richard Gage, AIA

25.08.2026 | www.kla.tv/42342

[Kla.TV:] This year marks the 25th anniversary of the demolition of the three World Trade Towers in New York on 9/11. We look back at 25 years of war against terror or rather, terror against innocent people on the backs of innocent Western taxpayers, all whitewashed by corporate media. So in today's interview, we want to look closely at the little known history of what actually happened on 9/11, and I'm massively honored to welcome a really famous gentleman who has become known for his investigation and education on 9/11 for two decades now. Please welcome San Francisco bay area architect Richard Gage, AIA, member of the American institute of Architects and founder and former CEO of „Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth“. He now leads the charge for a new World Trade Center investigation along with his courageous wife, Gail at www.richardgage911.org Richard, thank you so much for coming on today. [Richard Gage:] Thank you, Daniel. My honor to be here with you. [Kla.TV:] It's really an honor to have you on with your 20 years of experience in this topic. And I've seen that you have plans for the 25th anniversary of 9/11 this year. Could you please tell us about what is coming up, was on your agenda for that? [Richard Gage:] Yeah, this is exciting! As you mentioned, two decades in the 9/11 truth movement - myself and others have put together an incredible conference in New York City, September 10th through the 13th, with 40 speakers. Including Brett Weinstein and Jimmy Dore and Buck Carlson, Tucker's brother. And many others - Willie Rodriguez - and family members, of those who have died on 9/11, first responders. It's an incredible array in fact, I will - I''m looking forward to showing you [Kla.TV:] Sure. [Richard Gage:] So let's - Let's jump over to the actual array of speakers. It's pretty incredible. We also have James Corbett, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, Dennis Kucinich, who's speaking out on 9/11, he‘s a former congressman - one of the few. Mary Holland, the executive director of The Children's Health Defense. Nick Bryant, the author of The Franklin Scandal will be talking about the Epstein saga. [Kla.TV:] Oh wow. [Richard Gage:] Meryl Nass, famous in the health freedom movement. She'll be discussing the parallels between 9/11 and COVID. USS Liberty survivor Phil Turney. He's been at it for a long time trying to awaken Americans to the... to the false flag operation that Israel pulled on the United States. Niels Harrit will be there, the author of the nanothermite paper. and Richard Grove, a forensic historian. A former fire chief and and commissioner in the New York area, we have Chris Gioia, family member, Matt Campbell who has an active lawsuit - a legal action in the UK because his brother was murdered in the North Tower. I mean, myself, I will be there and talking about the evidence in greater detail, than we will have time to hear, today. [Kla.TV:] Yes. [Richard Gage:] But, so many more too. [Kla.TV:] That's great, and I saw you have a whole panel also with these whistle-blowers a few of whom you mentioned right now. And can you give us like a rough idea now this is. This is a bit off the event topic again, but just a rough idea of how many whistle-blowers you have encountered on this topic of 9/11 or, you know, on what happened that day. Do you have a rough estimate, you know, how many people have come out? [Richard Gage:] Oh, yeah. Well... There are dozens! These aren't people who set charges in the buildings. We don't have them coming forward to our knowledge. But this is highly - this kind of an operation, this dark op, is very compartmentalized. But regarding whistle-blowers, we have Karen Kwiatkowski of the former… [Kla.TV:] She's from the Pentagon, right? [Richard Gage:] There you go: Pentagon - Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, from the Pentagon. [Kla.TV:] Exactly. [Richard Gage:] Yeah. So...she's one of the whistle-blowers. Certainly Willie Rodriguez, who had saved many firefighters in the towers and was the last man out of the building. He heard explosions in the basement. About seven seconds before the plane hit. Up above we have lots of evidence like this coming forth. So let's look at a satirical look at the owner of the World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein. Take a look at this. (Debby:) Uh, Mister Silverstein..? (Silverstein:) What is it? (D) You might want to see this. There‘s a conference happening (S) A conference? Why the heck would I care? (D) You said you wanted notified if anything about 9/11 after you saw that video, so I figured you‘d want to know. (S) Oh, brother, here we go again. (D) It‘s called „Turning the tide“ it says here: four days of presentations, discussions, networking and action marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11. (S) I knew the anniversary wasn‘t be easy. But this… (D) It‘s from September 10th through the 13th here in New York. It seems like a collection of experts, that don‘t believe the official story all in one place. (S) Hah! A bunch of crackpot-tinfoil-hat people? Who cares what they have to say anyway, right? (D) It doesn‘t seem like it. They‘ve got some pretty important speakers. (S) Oh yeah? Like who? (D) Jimmy Dore, Dennis Kucinich, James Corbett, Bret Weinstein, and that‘s not even half of them. (S) Oh! (D) There‘s first responders, government whistle-blowers, families of the victims (S) Ah, come on (D) authors, film makers, I think even that timeline junky guy who made that video that you hate (S) What?! This is insane! At least they don‘t have like an…iconic rockstar speaking or something. (D) Well, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd will be there as well. (S) Shit! This is not good Debby. (D) Would you like me to buy some tickets on their website? Maybe you could talk to them and clear some things up? (S) Oh! No I can‘t.. I have a dermatologist appointment to get to that I can‘t miss. (D) Oh, so um… your dermatologist appointment lasts four days? (S) What‘s with all those questions, Debby? You‘re starting to sound like them! [Richard Gage:] So, that's sort of an inside joke. We in the 9-11 truth movement are quite aware that the only reason Larry Silverstein survived that day, is because of a dermatology appointment. He had breakfast every morning up on the top of the twin towers, so I think that's the first day he's missed in years. So anyway. We're getting a lot of fun and mileage out of that one. Hope everybody can come! We'll be there. There are hotel breaks, the tickets are $125 for four days, and then there's a VIP ticket, which gets you brunch with all of the superstars, speakers at the event. So that's $911. So hope you guys can all make it. One way or another. It'll be live streamed too, Daniel. [Kla.TV:] Right. Okay, cool! And I wanted to mention too, that you had such an event last year as well, I saw. And all the speeches from last year's event are online and are available for free even, which I think is a very good thing so that everybody can, you know, get in, dive into that and see what these whistle blowers and speakers are saying. So definitely we'll link it all below this video and everybody can find it. [Richard Gage:] Right on! But I did want to tell you about what we're going to be presenting - myself - at the conference, starting with Building 7. [Kla.TV:] Sure. [Richard Gage:] Most people don't know it was a 47-story skyscraper. Most architects and engineers don't even know that a third tower came down that day. So you want me to tell you about it? [Kla.TV:] Yeah. Absolutely. Yes. Please show us all the evidence that you have brought with for us today. [Richard Gage:] Okay, so this is the largest building in most of our states. But looking at it, it is dwarfed next to the Twin Towers at the time they were built. They were the tallest buildings in the world. It was about 110 yards - a football field away from the North tower. And it went down about um 5 o 'clock, 5:20 in the afternoon. It did get a little bit of damage when the towers went down but this was not a factor in the building's collapse, a significant factor. Let's look at that collapse. Here we see building seven. The East penthouse in the upper left comes down first in an isolated event and then seven seconds later, the entire building does this! Straight down, uniformly, symmetrically falling into its own footprint, in under seven seconds. So how do you explain that? [Kla.TV:] Wow. [Richard Gage:] Yeah, wow! Look: here's Shyam Sunder of NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology trying to explain this away. „What we found was that uncontrolled building fires caused an extraordinary event. The collapse of World Trade Center 7 was primarily due to fire.“ Fires. Okay, well, we should look at those fires. Well, these are the worst fires that we have in this building. They are relatively few, small, and scattered throughout the building. So and they're burned out in the area of interest of NIST on the on the 12th floor. So... about an hour before the building even came down, they were burned out in that area. But, you know, we've never lost a steel frame fire protected structure ever due to fire. This just has not happened, not before 9/11 and not after 9/11 when we have much hotter, larger and longer lasting fires in such buildings. So what we're going to be doing in New York and on our website at richardgage911.org, is to find out what really brought this building down? We're going to compare it to a known controlled demolition, a series of them. Is there any similarity, by the way? Is there enough similarity to warrant an investigation into the possible use of explosives? Especially since fire, the official cause of this building's collapse, has never brought down a steel frame, fire protected structure, ever. [Kla.TV:] That's interesting. Yeah [Richard Gage:] Yeah, I mean, it's like eye-opening for me. These are the features of typical controlled demolition. And we start with feature number one: is there a sudden onset of destruction? Well, listen to Dan Rather as he describes. his viewing of this building coming down. Dan Rather video text:…….“ And what you‘re seeing are high shots….Now, here we‘re going to show you a video tape of the collapse itself. We‘re going to go to go to the video tape of the collapse of this building. ….(Wow, Just amazing). Yeah, amazing, incredible, pick your word! For third time today it‘s reminiscent of those pictures we‘ve all seen too much on television before when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down“. [Richard Gage:] Whoa, what was that, Dan? Deliberately destroyed!? [Kla.TV:] The clip, that's a lot of a lot of angles. [Richard Gage:] You know, there are about 11 videos altogether. [Kla.TV:] Wow. [Richard Gage:] …“Deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down“. Well, he's never said that since 9/11. In fact, we've never seen this - except two times - on television, this building coming down. It's like they just wanted to sweep it under the rug, which is… This is the third worst structural failure in modern history and most architects and engineers are completely unaware of it. It should have been the most studied structural failure ever. [Kla.TV:] Agreed. [Richard Gage:] So do we have a straight down symmetrical collapse? You got to look at it from West Street also. Yah, pretty darn straight down, symmetrical. How do you do that? You have to take out all the core columns within a fraction of a second of each other. Well, what about a second later, by the perimeter columns. And that has to be repeated on every floor, synchronistically timed. How do fires accomplish that level of precision? They don't. If the building is damaged, as NIST says in the northeast corner, a building is going to fall over. And that's what happens here. You don't want this to happen, ever. But how fast is it coming down? Well, we look at feature number four. It's coming down in free fall acceleration. How fast is that? That's like a bowling ball falling out of the sky. That's gaining speed with every second. That's the definition of acceleration. How does it do that? The bowling ball has no resistance under it. That's how it does that this building had 40,000 tons of structural steel underneath it, keeping it from going anywhere. That means that not one of these columns gave any resistance for that period of free fall, which NIST finally acknowledged, that it came down for a third of its seven second fall, in free fall. [Kla.TV:] Wow. [Richard Gage:] So, are these fires going to do that? No. Well, what can? Well, we look for clues like sounds of explosions, typical in controlled demolitions, denied by NIST, but here they are. video clip: „We were watching the building actually because it was on fire, the bottom floors of the building were on fire and we heard this, what sounded like a of a clap of thunder, we turned around and were shocked to see that the building was…well, it looked like there was a shock wave ripping through the building, the windows all busted out, it was horrifying and then about a second later the bottom floor caved out and the building followed after that. And we saw the building crash down, all the way to the ground...“ [Richard Gage:] What?! A sound of a clap of thunder, a shock wave ripping through the building, the windows busting out and then the building coming down. NIST tells us, oh, if they heard explosions, then that's the sound of the building coming down. No! The order is very specific here. How about Kevin McPadden, former Air Force medic? (16:06) Video: „You heard explosions, like 'baboooom‘! There‘s like a distinct sound, it‘s not like when a compression -‘boom, boom, boom‘ - like floors that were dropping and collapsing. This was 'baboooom‘ - and like you felt a rumble in the ground, like almost as if you wanted to grab onto something! That - to me, I knew that was an explosion. There was no doubt in my mind.“ Gage: And Bill Rizzotti, a witness. video: „I was standing like two blocks away and all of a sudden I just saw a big flash and I have seen that building coming down and I‘ve just seen people running everywhere - chaotic…“. Gage: A big flash and then the building coming down. How about Fire Department, Captain Richard Patterson: Video: „1-7 let go as well…and was a series of concussive explosions“…. Gage: And first responder, Patrick Dillon. Video: „I remember feeling that - like freight-trains underneath the earth, shaking the earth, even shaking me. That‘s when… we all saw building 7 crumple in the middle. Like way up at the top - it buckled. It buckled and then dropped“… Gage: And Richard Rotanz, director of the New York‘s Office of Emergency Management. What did he experience in the building? Clip: „Then he had to go into that building to asses it“. „You could hear the building creak above us, you could hear things fall, you could hear the fire burning, you could see columns just hanging from the upper floors; gaping holes in the floors up above us. There was an elevator car that was blown out of it‘s shaft and was down the hall.“ Gage: Wait a minute, an elevator car blown out of its shaft, down the hall, 30 or 40 feet? (17:55). What can do that? Can office fires do that? We don't think so. Gaping holes above him with columns dangling? No, these are massive explosions, deep in the interior of the building corroborated by two gentlemen: Barry Jennings, who, along with Michael Hess, Mayor Giuliani's attorney was, had been called to an emergency meeting and they didn't realize the whole building had been evacuated because they got there late, but they made their way up to the 23rd floor and everyone‘s gone. So they make some phone calls and they're told, get out of there. This is their experience on the way down. Clip: „We got to the 8th floor and started walking to one side of the building, the other side of it was gone…The first explosion I heard when I was on the stairwell landing, when we made it down to the 6th floor. Then we made it back to the 8th floor. I heard some more explosions. Interviewer: How did these sound? Answer: Like a boom. Like an explosion. Interviewer: And more than one? Answer:Yes! ...We started walking down the stairs; we made it to the 8th floor, big explosion blew us back into the 8th floor. When we got outside, a police officer comes to me and says: ‚You have to run. We have more information of bombs, so you have to run!‘ Gage:(19:11) Information of bombs? Bombs like this heard in the late morning of 9-11 in the vicinity of Building 7. Clip: „Yeah here‘s one of the guys - he can tell you I‘m okay, alright? Yeah, hold on. You want to call your mother or something?…“ [sound of an explosion in the background] Gage: There's no building collapsing. That's the sound of an explosion. And what did this expert say in controlled demolition? Clip: Danny Jowenko is the expert on this in Europe …..What did he say? Danny: This is controlled demolition. Absolutely. It‘s been imploded. Its a hired job done by a team of experts. Gage: A hired job done by a team of experts. Well, there are three dozen structural engineers signed on to the petition at AE. 9-11 Truth architects and engineers for 9-11 Truth demanding a new investigation like Kamal Obeid, who says a localized failure in a steel frame building cannot cause a catastrophic collapse like a house of cards, without a simultaneous and patterned loss of several of its columns at key locations within the building. And so this has gone through the University of Alaska. They produced a report. One of the top forensic structural engineers in the country doing a finite element analysis, concluding what? That fire didn't cause the collapse of this building. temperatures were not high enough to cause the weakening of the steel framing. Thermal expansion did not result in a loss of support for the beams and girders. The collapse of World Trade Center 7 was a global failure involving what? The near simultaneous failure of all the columns in the building. not a progressive collapse as claimed by NIST. This pulled the rug out from underneath the NIST report. So we have to ask ourselves. What really could have brought this building down because the University of Alaska, although they spent four years studying this, they didn't study outside the area of their expertise of their structural engineers. No. So the metallurgy is an important part of what happened to the steel and FEMA themselves - Federal Emergency Management Association - in their Appendix C, provides a metallurgical examination of the steel. This was produced in 2002, but NIST threw this information out when they took over the investigation! But what did it find? Never before observed eutectic reactions causing intergranular melting, capable of turning solid steel girder into Swiss cheese. Like we see in this piece of World Trade Center 7 Steel. And like we see, thinned to razor sharpness, five eighths inch just eroded in this piece of... Twin Towers Steel. So, we have: fires don't do this to steal. That's why we build the higher skyscrapers out of steel. They don't melt or corrode in steel. Plus, they're fireproof, which gives it even much greater robustness in response to fire. Rapid oxidation, sulfidation, liquid iron, that's molten iron. That's 3000 degrees Celsius, about half of that, 1500 Celsius. Excuse me, 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, half of that, about 1500 degrees Celsius. A liquid iron, a hot corrosion attack on the steel. All of this was removed from the report when NIST took it over. But we can tell the temperature of this material falling out of the crab claw excavator. We can tell its temperature by its color. We are exceeding 1370 degrees Celsius. [Kla.TV:] Wow! [Richard Gage:] There's no accounting for these temperatures, which is why NIST denies them altogether. They just don't discuss this. They say this can't even happen, but here it is, and in many different forms by the way. Including evidence of ignited incendiaries - which - all of that is in the world trade center dust and there's a lot more that I don't have time to present to you. But, we look at the dust for evidence of unignited thermite, because thermite is an incendiary used by the military to cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. It produces temperatures of 1500 Celsius to 2500 Celsius. So, that is something worth looking for. And this team of eight international scientists looked in the dust. From river to river across the lower Manhattan. And what did they find? These red gray chips, they thought they were paint. But unlike paint, they're attracted to a magnet. So this has a high iron content. They go, wow, let's look at it with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. They do and they find so peaks of aluminum and iron oxide, Fe, That is the signature of thermite. What's that doing in all the paint? They get real serious. They zoom in 50,000 times with an electron microscope and they find what? Nano-sized particles of iron oxide crystals, and aluminum platelets that are a thousand times smaller than the diameter of human hair. This is nanotechnology. So they've engineered an incendiary, which works by means of heat, to become more explosive. Because this material, when it's so small, the surface volume increases exponentially. And you get these chemical reactions that are huge. In addition, it's set in a matrix of oxygen, silica, carbon, organic material, which expands rapidly and knocks things over in high energy explosives. And so, this is a hybrid explosive pyrotechnic. In fact, the conclusion is that the red layer is unreacted thermitic material incorporating nanotechnology. It's a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material. This is documented in a 25-page paper in the Bentham Open Chemical Physics Journal. And 2009, we've given it to every member of Congress and the media and scientists everywhere. And we have all the key features of controlled demolition in building seven, convincing 3600 architects and engineers to demand a new investigation into the destruction. Many of them appear in our ongoing film series - we are at episode 6 of 9/11 Crime Scene to Courtroom. An unprecedented film series taking the hard evidence of 9/11 crimes to court in a grand jury setting. Take a look. Clip: „No matter how improbable the conclusion may appear, when you‘ve eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. We‘re bringing alive in the film the 60 exhibits of the 9/11 WTC evidence contained in the lawyers committee, grand jury petition that have already been submitted to the US attorney in Manhattan, to present to a special criminal jury. This historic investigation is ongoing and there is a role for you in it. Yes, you can help us bring the real perpetrators to justice. Through this film series, we‘re bringing together two dozen experts in their fields. They ignored any scenario involving incendiaries. Demolition work - you‘re going to set charges on each floor… In other words, all of the interior columns, over eight stories came down - were basically lost at once…I could make out what looked like, from a science fiction movie, molten lava…And he paused and said: ‚That‘ll be coming down around 5 o‘clock‘. We will be filming these evidence presentations not only for our filings with the grand jury but also as presentations for each of you. We‘re inviting you to serve as virtual grand jury during each episode.“ [Richard Gage:] And indeed, you can be a part of this film series. [Kla.TV:] Great that you're picking this up so in such a manner that's So cool. [Richard Gage:] Isn't that exciting? I mean…We couldn't do it without everybody's participation and people can co-produce the film series. [Kla.TV:] Yeah. [Richard Gage:] I encourage you to visit and watch all the episodes. And first look at: 911C2C.org - That's 9-1-1, letter C, number two, letter C dot Org and see what's there. These first six episodes are on Building 7. Now we're going into the evidence of extreme heat in season two. And this is all up on IMDB also. You can look look at it there. And so, we talked about the conference. But at the conference, I'll also be presenting the evidence on the Twin Towers. Because if building 7 was a controlled demolition, we've got to ask ourselves squarely, is it possible that the Twin Towers could also have been [Kla.TV:] Yeah. [Richard Gage:] …set with charges, right? So, look I mean, look at it. We have upward, outward arching streamers, a geometry of fireworks, freely flying structural steel sections trailing thick white smoke clouds - ejected laterally, at 85 miles an hour, landing up to 600 feet in every direction. That is…what's that? About 200 meters. Why are they trailing thick white smoke clouds? Steel is not flammable in office fire conditions - nor jet fuel. There's no explanation for these thick white smoke clouds save thermite, which is producing molten iron. One of the key buy products. The other one is thick white smoke clouds of aluminum oxide ash. That's the only explanation for these. So we‘ve got to ask - to just quickly look and see if there are any features of controlled demolition in the Twin Towers besides - or in addition to that, [Kla.TV:] Sure. [Richard Gage:] Yeah! For instance, we're told a pile driver drove the rest of the building down to the ground. Well, is that what's happening? We'll make it easier for everybody. Take a look at the lower red line here, showing the point the plane impacts. The upper part is not driving the lower part down to the ground it's telescoping in on itself. It's destroying itself. Right? [Kla.TV:] True. [Richard Gage:] Right?! In the first three seconds, there's nothing left of it. And if there - If it was there, you'd see it. None of the photos or videos show an upper part driving the rest of the building down. It's gone after three seconds. If it were there, it would have crushed these few remaining core columns standing 900 feet in the air for a dozen seconds. But no, they fall on their own. So they weren't crushed by an upper part. Take a look at the… Well, we will compare it: the World Trade Center One on the left, a volcanic eruption on the right. This is a better analogy, right? Upward, outward, arching streamers, again a geometry of fireworks, freely flying solid, molten objects trailed by thick white smoke clouds. That is not a building collapse on the left or the right. So let's get into it deeper. Do we have patterned explosions and flashes of light? seen and heard by witnesses? Yeah! It turns out there are 156 first responders talking about seeing and hearing explosions. This didn't come out until 2005. Four years after 9/11, because the city of New York was sued by the New York Times and they had to release all these oral histories: 12,000 pages of testimony read by Professor Graham McQueen. Here are just a few of them: „We felt the ground shake. You could see the tower sway. And then it just came down“. Again and again, you're going to hear this order of events. They're hearing something. They're seeing something. They're feeling something before the towers even come down. „All of a sudden, the ground just started shaking under - started shaking. It felt like a train running under my feet. The next thing we know, we look up and the tower is collapsing.“ Or, „It actually shook my bones.“ „Shortly before the first tower came down. I remember feeling the ground shaking. I heard a terrible noise and then debris just started flying everywhere.“. „ I saw a flash, flash, flash at the lower level of the building. You know, like when they demolish a building.“ „…I saw a number of brief light sources being emitted from inside the building between floors 10 and 15“. He saw about six of these brief flashes accompanied by „a crackling sound“, before the tower collapsed! „I saw low level flashes…I saw flash, flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.“ „An explosion appeared at the very top, simultaneously from all four sides, materials shot out horizontally and then there seemed to be a momentary delay before you could see the beginning of the collapse.“ How specific does this fire chief need to be? He's an expert witness! „There was an explosion in the South Tower. I kept watching one floor under another…and when it hit about the fifth floor. I figured it was a bomb because it looked like a synchronized, deliberate kind of thing.“ Okay. [Kla.TV:] Wow! [Richard Gage:] Well, let's go to feature number three. Is there a straight down symmetrical collapse? Well, it starts out to tip over, the South Tower. And it's tipping over at about 20 degrees. To have asymmetrical damage from the planes and the fires and asymmetrical damage from this part of the building that‘s falling off. How in the world, then, do we get complete symmetrical damage all the way around each side of the building, just like the firefighters described? It makes no sense. It's not a consequence of the asymmetrical damage. But let's look at the leading corner of these explosions and ask ourselves in this looped video, how many explosions do you see? I see about a dozen, independently - they must have been pre-placed - explosives in the exterior, structural, steel perimeter. [Kla.TV:] Wow! [Richard Gage:] And that gives it away. You can see every one of them almost floor by floor synchronistically timed all the way down the building. And collectively, they become a roar, which is what is heard. But there are plenty of witnesses that heard pop, pop, pop also, like you heard earlier. And then, we've got to ask, are there any explosive ejections? These are called squibs in the controlled demolition industry, and they're occurring as far down as 20 stories, even 40 stories down below the zone of destruction. There's no accounting for these in the official narrative whatsoever either, even 60 stories down. Obviously mistimed explosions! They just ignore these altogether. There's a dozen of them on the left side of the South Tower as it begins to lean to the right. You can see them very clearly. They're destroying the rigidity. of this upper section, such that it can't fall off and onto the ground in one block. It loses it‘s ability to maintain its angular momentum. So what about those steel sections? They are ejected up to 600 feet away. Eight and four - four and eight ton structural steel sections ejected and destroying the Winter Gardens 600 feet away, landing in the world financial building, impaling themselves in skyscrapers all around, destroying the Deutsche Bank building across the street from it. It had to be taken down piece by piece. And these are those sections. They are huge and mammoth and yet they are laterally expelled by some great force 600 feet! Look at this gentleman climbing on this on this piece. [Kla.TV:] Wow. [Richard Gage:] And we have - They are freely flying. This is not like a banana peeling. These are freely flying, four to eight ton structural steel sections and this one is about to hit building seven! Wait a minute. Back to... forward to… What's a trailing? Again: No, Jet fuel and office fires cannot melt steel. And steel is not flammable in those conditions. So, what are we talking about here? This is again aluminum oxide ash, the other byproduct of thermite, in addition to molten iron. And that's actually going to hit Building 7 and cause a little bit of damage. [Kla.TV:] Well there clearly were some explosive documents in that World Trade Center, huh? They hurled the eight-ton steel structures off the... down the street, 600 feet. I mean it makes no sense, right? [Richard Gage:] Well, there's enough energy there to hurl a 200-pound - to fire a 200 pound cannonball three miles! [Kla.TV:] Wow! [Richard Gage:] And there's a lot of those cannonballs being fired out of here. I mean hundreds of them! So - And they're blown outside the footprint of the tower. You can see building seven on the on the north side is impacted; the World Financial Center on the west side. So the question now is a key one that everybody has to ask - and answer! If a hundred thousand tons of steel framing in each building is distributed well outside the tower's footprint, what is crushing the building? It's not available to crush the building, is it? And yet all of it... That's a third of the weight of the building that's not available to crush it. Maybe it was a concrete. Well, let's look and see, because we're looking for concrete at the bottom of each of these towers. We're talking about four inch and eight inch thick concrete, poured on metal decking supported by lightweight steel trusses. An acre in size! Each of them! 110 of them. But we don't find 50 of them. We don't find 10. We don't find one acre-sized floor. We don't find a half acre, a quarter acre, or a 16th acre. [Kla.TV:] Wow. [Richard Gage:] They have been pulverized. And I mean, in a real gravitational collapse, you're looking for pancakes. Right? [Kla.TV:] What's the official explanation for the disappearance of the concrete? [Richard Gage:] Oh, they don't answer that question. [Kla.TV:] They just ignore it? [Richard Gage:] Yes, most all of this evidence we're talking about today is ignored. I mean, If you look at the Myanmar earthquake that destroyed this 33-story building in Bangkok, what you see is pancakes! [Kla.TV:] Yeah. Right. [Richard Gage:] And this was only a 33 story building and it produced a 10 story pile about a third of it's height in size! Whereas the Twin Towers on the left: we have three times that height of the building, producing only a six story or four story pile of rubble and none of them are pancakes or concrete. That we can see. So we have a real problem with this story. Look at those guys in the lower right. You can see how tall this is, we're talking nine, 10 stories. So the concrete is missing! Well, where did it go? Oh! There it is. It's pulverized in midair. 90,000 tons of concrete in this building has been pulverized before it falls, develops its kinetic energy and busts up on the ground. All the photos and videos show exactly that. Well, what can pulverize 90,000 tons of concrete? Well, high energy explosives can do that. It turns out, that heat can do that too. Concrete's powderized at 900 degrees Celsius. Powdered, decomposed hydration products is what you're left with. Well, whether it's explosives or heat and thermite produces temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius. So, we have an issue here. 90,000 tons of concrete missing, spread throughout lower Manhattan. As you can see, those clouds just drifted from river to river across lower Manhattan, 9 centimeter high blanket. Thick blanket. Well, great! What if that's true? And then, what's crushing the building? Because it's not the concrete. We don't have pancakes stacking up, providing that mass to crush the building below. This is another third of the weight of the building! [Kla.TV:] Right. [Richard Gage:] Each of the towers, right? So it wasn't the steel and is now, obviously, not the concrete! It‘s not available to crush the building! And that's the whole theory of NIST. And that theory, by the way, is produced by Zdenek Bazant from Northwestern University, who used all of that weight in his very obtuse paper - obfuscation is the word I was looking for - and that paper was produced just two days after 9/11. The rest of us are freaked out. We're going: Oh my God, who did this to us? When's the next plane coming? Not this gentleman. He produced the paper that became the key theoretical basis for NIST's column failure theory. And yet it's completely fraudulent because he didn't have all this weight to work with. So, we need a new investigation. We have all the features of a controlled demolition. What does that mean for Building 7 and the Twin Towers, the three high rises at the World Trade Center? But what are the implications of this evidence, Daniel? That‘s what we need to talk about. Because, it's pretty easy to get, right? I mean a seventh grader can understand what we just went through. This is not high science architecture engineering. [Kla.TV:] Totally. [Richard Gage:] And the implications are devastating. Because we've been had, we've been scammed all across the world, as you mentioned in your opening. This is - has been used in a $6.5 trillion dollar global war on terror. And it has drained the U.S. economy and many other economies as well, and got us into two major wars. The longest war in US history in Afghanistan, 14 years! Which didn‘t do us very well. It did the people who were there very well! For instance, 90 % of the world's opium supply comes from Afghanistan, and under our protection, that was harvested and skyrocketed, after the Taliban was thrown out, to 6.5 metric tons per year of opium. So, where are we going to draw our line in the sand? I mean, we wait for the next. 9/11, which is a false flag operation? No, you don't want to do that. We need to speak the truth about 9-11, because - I‘ll clue everybody in who isn't, Covid, with a false disease and a false solution to the false disease, pre-engineered for us was a false flag operation as was Gaza in October 7th, 2023. When are we going to wake up, people around the world, and put a stop to these government manipulations, these deep state crimes against democracy? We're going to do our best, in New York, to bring all these speakers together on those kinds of subjects as well. [Kla.TV:] Perfect. Well, thanks for breaking this down again, Richard - I think it is something that everybody should look into closer and you've done a masterful job to sum all this evidence up in in such a short time. I do have one last question I really want to ask you on this whole thing. When we look at this, when we look at all the evidence that points to a massive operation with a huge planning effort and preparation effort: do we have hints or evidence on how this was planned and how high up the masterminds must be to pull this off? [Richard Gage:] Well, there are many who have researched such things. [Kla.TV:] Yeah. [Richard Gage:] Kevin Ryan, for instance, wrote a book called „Another 19 Suspects“ other than the Patsy's who we are told were on the planes and guided these planes. And Christopher Bollyn has written a book called „Solving 9/11“, which looks at foreign influence in the planning and execution of 9/11. I don‘t have - I am not prepared to back up any guesses that I might have. But certainly the highest levels of government were involved. Who can stand down NORAD so that fighter jets were sent away from the eastern corridor of the United States leaving it defenseless on 9/11? And who who can stage air drills? 41 of them. Many of them continuing through the impact of the last plane at the Pentagon - or whatever hit the Pentagon. There are questions and discussion about that too. [Kla.TV:] And who can inform all the corporate media to simultaneously report the same narrative and report on Building 7 too early? And who can inform the scientist who brought out that paper two days after it happened? I mean it really sounds like a collusion that went over many, many areas of the institutions, over many, many areas of expertise from education to, as you say, government, military, media. And not only in America, right? It was and international scam as you called it before in my opinion. I don't know how you you feel about it? [Richard Gage:] Yeah, pulling the wool over the eyes of most of the people. I mean, that's what scared me the most: the level of deception. That all the media, major mainstream medias across the world, like you said, picked it up and parroted the fear, the march to war, the official narrative. We…I just bought it hook, line, and sinker. Until 2006 when I heard David Ray Griffin on the radio, who's written now 14 books on the 9/11 truth subject. And I was just in shock, and I saw him the next night at the Grand Lake Theater. Man, my eyes were just opened, and it was uncomfortable. I felt like my world turned upside down. I mean, I was a flag-waving Reagan Republican. I wanted to get going into Afghanistan and Iraq and get those bastards who did this to us. What a rude awakening. [Kla.TV:] Wow! So to close this off, our time is up: Where can people find your work? And what's your advice for the average Joe these days. I mean, we've had 9/11. We have, as I just mentioned, we have had COVID, we've had October 7th - which all have a similar pattern to 9/11. How do we go about to prevent this in the future? Any advice for the average Joe? [Richard Gage:] Yeah, we can't sit on this information. We have to share it with others. And share the testimony of 3600 architects and engineers, you'll find those petitions on our website: www.richardgage911.org Share the architects and engineers for 9/11 truth website, https://www.ae911truth.org/ There are many of these truth-telling websites. And I'm encouraging everybody to share it with every architect and engineer you can find, everybody else that you know. It's the public that we need to wake up. Appealing to government and mainstream media has been an impossible task, they seem to be completely co-opted. Although we do have one courageous, at least one courageous, Senator: Ron Johnson, who has offered to have hearings on this information which I presented to him personally for 90 minutes. And he got the picture. And we're putting together a big report for him at the project for 9/11 truth and accountability. [Kla.TV:] Well, Richard Gage, thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for sharing this with us. Thanks for sharing it with with Ron Johnson of course. But I think if a hundred thousand of our audience share this with another hundred or two-hundred thousand, this has a massive impact, much more impact than one politician can have, I think. When we get together and share these things, just as you've said. So, thanks so much once more for coming on and sharing this with us. [Richard Gage:] You're so welcome. Thank you, Daniel. [Kla.TV:] And good luck with your conference. [Richard Gage:] Ah yes. Be there and listen live stream, everybody. [Kla.TV:] Thank you!
