New Jersey Institute of Technology Hosts '9/11 Critical Questions' Forum on WTC 7

A mathematics professor (Prof. Jay Kappraff, Ph.D.) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology has invited two representatives of Architects & Engineers 9/11 Truth to address students and faculty from the school's civil engineering department in a Technology, Art and Science Forum titled "9/11 Critical Questions."

"I created this forum because I feel strongly that the information about 9/11 that has been publicly distributed by the government and the media up to now is extremely incomplete and has many self-contradictions," explains the math professor. "We need to reopen the conversation."

Kappraff invited two speakers from AE911Truth — founder and CEO Richard Gage, an architect, and Tony Szamboti, a mechanical design engineer — whose presentations he had heard at other venues. "I was impressed by their detailed knowledge of the World Trade Center destruction, and thought that if they could present their ideas at an engineering school, we would have a chance to show, through reason rather than emotion, what was not covered properly in the official story."

Kappraff, a mathematics professor at NJIT, is skeptical of the official account of the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers and has been seeking to host a technical forum where, he notes, "students can hear all sides of the highly controversial WTC 7 destruction and make up their own minds. We should be able to analyze and discuss the technical evidence of these extremely important structural failures in an open atmosphere free of bullying and accusations." To ensure coverage of the issue would not be one-sided, Kappraff also reached out to participants in — and sympathizers with — the official investigation of WTC 7, which was conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. But when he received no response from them, he arranged for members of NJIT's civil engineering department to create a panel to present their view of the events and to question the AE911Truth speakers.

when I'm told by so many authoritarians here that the truth movement is dying? Guess they got that wrong too!

it is surprising the school would sponsor this nonsense.

I'm sure the Civil Engineering department is up to the task to keep the students unimpressed with truthers logic.
