NASA engineer seeks further Sept. 11 investigation

Former NASA engineer Dwain Deets spoke at USD on Oct. 21 to address evidence of explosive demolition at the World Trade Center buildings on Sept. 11 and to encourage people to demand a new investigation into the events of that day.
Deets spoke on behalf of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, or AE911Truth, a group comprised of over 900 members who disagree with the official FEMA and NIST reports about the destruction of the high-rise buildings.
The lecture was sponsored by Toreros for Truth, a club which aims to “promote, and in part provide, the best in investigative reporting, scholarly research and public education regarding the suppressed realities of Sept. 11, its aftermath and exploitation for political ends,” according to a news release.
Toreros for Truth president Aaron Brown welcomed audience members, and defined the club as focusing on issues that “for whatever reason are marginalized by major mainstream media outlets.”
Deets’ lecture was a multimedia presentation entitled “Six Pillars of Controlled Destruction.”
“I actually don’t think it’s that complicated,” Deets said.
 His presentation discussed six pillars which he believes summarize the inconsistencies that arise from the destruction of the World Trade Center. These pillars are symmetry, massive member, removal of structure, iron and other thermite byproducts, centigrade tsunami and explosives in the remnants.
According to Deets, “if any one of these pillars are determined to be valid, it should be enough to call for a new investigation. These pillars support the conclusion of controlled demolition.”
Deets discussed the fall of the World Trade Center from an engineering standpoint, pointing out that asymmetrical forces can’t cause symmetrical destruction, and that pure freefall, as seen with both of the Twin Towers, means lower structure was removed first, indicating a strategic demolition.
Deets compared videos of the fall of the Twin Towers with videos of planned demolitions in order to demonstrate the resemblance between the two. He stated that equidistant debris piles resulted from each building despite asymmetrical destruction, and urged audience members to see how, from an engineering standpoint, this is not possible.
He addressed the fact that pieces of the buildings were flung hundreds of feet away from the site, which indicates explosive demolition from the inside. Deets said, “I think these six pillars provide a guide to narrowing in on the key issues.”
Deets also thoroughly addressed military grade explosives that were found in the remnants of Ground Zero, along with other chemical compound elements that cannot be explained by jet parts or building components.
He referenced chemical evidence of thermite, which was discovered in the building remains, and which is used by the military in highly powerful explosives. Particles of unignited thermite were found in the rubble, and Deets stated that this is “compelling evidence that thermite reaction compounds were deliberately placed at the Twin Towers.”
For a portion of the presentation, Deets showed a film entitled, “9/11: Blueprint for Truth: The Architecture of Destruction,” a film featuring Richard Gage, a San Francisco Bay Area architect and founder of AE911Truth, as he discusses the flaws in the official Sept. 11 reports.
After showing the film, Deets reiterated many of the points made by Gage, and urged audience members to voice their opinions to the public and to government officials. He expressed frustration at the “stonewalling” of many government leaders, and cited a recent New York Supreme Court case which denied 80,000 New York City voters who signed a petition calling for an independent 9/11 investigation.
“These six pillars should be enough to call for a new investigation, that’s really all I’m trying to get across,” Deets said.
“I think as more people understand this, they can see the key points and counter people who think 9/11 is just too complicated.”
The lecture was followed by a question and answer panel comprised of Deets, Toreros for Truth president Aaron Brown, Greg Roberts and Rob Leslie, two writers who have contributed to research, articles and websites surrounding the Sept. 11 controversy.
