The most intense Q&A I've ever provided is at 1:16:32
9/11: An Architect’s Guide | Part 3: The Twin Towers and Extreme Heat Course Number: RG911-AAG-L3 Live three-part webinar series.
We at RichardGage911 ( http://RichardGage911.org ) are dedicated to conducting research and providing education about the complete destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers, our courses give architects the technical knowledge and analytical framework with which to evaluate the most likely cause of those building failures.
Course Description: Never before has a steel-framed high-rise collapsed from fire. Why, then, did three such buildings collapse on September 11, 2001?
In Part 3 of “9/11: An Architect’s Guide,” Richard Gage, AIA, provides an overview of the most important evidence related to the extreme heat observed both before and after the Twin Towers’ destruction.
As documented extensively in the report issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), molten metal was seen pouring out of the South Tower during the seven minutes leading up to its collapse. Molten metal was also observed in the debris of both buildings, while various other evidence of extreme heat and incendiary chemical reactions have been documented since.
In 2005, NIST concluded that the Twin Towers’ destruction resulted from the combined effects of the airplane impact damage and ensuing fires, both of which are phenomena that fail to account for the extreme heat observed before and after the Twin Towers’ destruction.
Does NIST’s explanation for these unprecedented structural failures explain all of the evidence? Together, we will study the collapses and evaluate which of the two leading hypotheses — fire-induced failure or controlled demolition — is more consistent with the evidence. Participants will be encouraged to decide for themselves if a new investigation is warranted.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the characteristics of building fires and the aspects of high-rise design that contribute to make fire-induced failure in steel-framed high-rise buildings a rare occurrence.
2. Recognize the distinct features associated with fire-induced failure and the distinct features associated with the procedure of controlled demolition.
3. Describe step-by-step the series of structural failures that the National Institute of Standards and Technology found to be the most likely cause of the collapse of World Trade Center Twin Towers.
4. Analyze the physical evidence and the dynamics of the collapse of the Twin Towers according to how consistent it is with the competing hypotheses of fire-induced failure and controlled demolition.

Brilliant work. Am wondering if the rumours of the stolen gold ending up in the Ukraine somehow are true. Thanks for persevering.
As much as I tend to agree with your studies, I have to recall a story I read decades ago about the great Chicago Fire of 1870 something. Rivers of molten iron flowed in the streets from the cast iron facades. Temps there must have reached at least 2500 deg. F. from normal building fires. Enclosing and wind channeling brick party walls, wood frame walls, partitions, floors, roofs, furniture and merchandise must have provided enough fuel to create furnace like temps . The Dresden fires during the British bombing of WWII were also furnace temp in as much as the entire city was burning at once and the flames were hundreds of feet high..
It's the collapse of Bldg 7 that seems so unexplainable. But if 7 was so suspicious I suppose the towers are just as suspicious. There was so much secrecy afterward that breeds its own paranoia and doubts.
i can't shale the idea that 9/11 was made to order to mobilize a population that really didn't want any more overseas adventures or nation building or even much to do with the second intifada or
Iranian hostility to the Israelis. etc. Articles were appearing in the press about the waste and misuse of huge pentagon budgets. (/11 pout an end to any questioning of military budgets and opened a flood gate of funding. The Pentagon still hasn't submitted a proper accounting for its funds like every other department of the federal government has to do annually. The pentagon is not quite like the Myanmar military but awfully close when it comes to how they account for their money. .
I also think NIST didn't try to find the truth because if they had say id anything that cast doubt on the official line, all the insurance money would have been questionable and the mostly European insurers could have reclaimed the payouts. I tend to think that day and the subsequent study was a massive act of insurance fraud. . .
