The AE911Truth Petition
To the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate of the United States of America,
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT:
On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapses of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.

Occupation: Retired Explosives Engineer
I hold a BSE in Chemical Engineering from Arizona State University. I am now retired, but I spent most of my career in the manufacture, or disassembly of explosives and explosive devices. I have worked on a number of high profile programs such as the Space Shuttle, Peacekeeper and Trident D5 ballistic missiles. I have managed ordinance demilitarization operations, and have invented two families of novel commercial blasting agents. During the course of my career, I have personally set millions of pounds of explosives and performed everything from small scale test shots, to million pound plus mine production shots.
As an explosives engineer, the most telling feature of the events of 9/11 was the collapse of Building 7. It appears to me to be quite evident that Building 7 collapsed as a result of a controlled demolition, and not as a result of aircraft colliding with either of the towers. Furthermore, the fact that portions of the limited investigation that have been performed are being withheld from the public clearly demonstrates that there is need for an independent investigation to honestly report all of the facts to the American people.

I attended Texas Tech Univ. from 1988 to 1997 and graduated with an MS in Electrical Engineering. My first engineering job was for Agri-Tech, Inc. in Woodstock, VA from 1997 to 2000. I designed the computer controlled hardware and software for industrial fruit sorting machines used by packing houses. I then worked for an Electronic Design Automation firm Silicon Metrics in Austin, TX from 2000 to 2003. I designed software EDA tools for microprocessor firms.
I believe the 3 WTC buildings that fell were demolished with explosives. We have many things working against us trying to get the word out about 9/11: 1. The public education system has moved away from teaching technical skills and is deliberately dumbing us down. 2. There is less respect for human life today than there was at mid-century, though respect for human life now is better than it was in ancient times. In order for people to want an investigation into 9/11, they have to care about the people that died. Many people I've met simply don't care about the deaths on 9/11. 3. These is less social capital today than there was at mid-century. Read the book 'Bowling Alone.' When people become aware of 9/11, their network of acquaintances are so limited that the word can't spread. People rely on the media for information and opinions rather than each other. 4. The lemming effect gives people the instinct to appeal to authority and follow others. Almost the entire argument against the 9/11 Conspiracy is the appeal to authority and the reluctance to look at the information and form an independent opinion. If most of the 80,000 architects in AIA don't agree with Richard Gage, then he must be wrong.

Twintowers: I doubt heavily the official story, as it would have been the first time, that steel frame buildings would have collapsed in such a way! Building 7: An almost obvious controlled demolition, what else?! Pentagon: Maybe the first telemetrically controlled airplane had also a hardwired altitude detection and was later flown to a remote airbase. Therefore, a second airplane - it might have been a large drone - was launched to try to cover the failure (as presented already on several websites).

The collapse of WTC 7 was an unambiguous and outstanding example of building implosion. It honestly baffles me how anyone could not see this. WTC 1 and WTC 2 were demolished in an unconventional fashion. Top-Down style demolitions are rare but not impossible. What intrigues me about WTC 1 and WTC 2 is their complete destruction. The contents of the building were turned into a fine dust.

I am in full agreement with Steel's and McGinnis' statements. I had the exact same misgivings as events were unfolding and well beyond. I saw the second tower fall live on TV in a room full of architects and engineers. We collectively were astonished and knew something was wrong with what we had just seen. One of my architectural projects was leading a design/documentation team to survey the entire 3rd floor of the Pentagon in the middle 1980's. So, I knew the architectural and the contextual site settings. I knew therefore, it was absolutely impossible for a jetliner, to physically travel at speed, and hit the ground floor of the Pentagon. From the 1- 2 second CCTV footage they aired on TV showing the 'jetliner' hitting the Pentagon, it looked more like a cruise missile to me.

Clearly, the building steel and contents were pulverized/shattered by a powerful shock-wave which resulted form a detonation designed for such. This happens naturally in volcanic explosions, where granite is also pulverized into ash. The connection is very clear. Somebody developed the technology to harness this effect. Must be very classified.

I have been a pastor for more than 50 years having started as a teenager in rural churches. I went to school to CST and was two years behind David Ray Griffin, I know both his intellectual greatness and his commitment to truth and honesty as well as his genuine patriotism. I have served churches in Hawaii and California and worked at UCLA in the Counseling Center. I was a District Superintendent in the United Methodist Church and currently I am serving both a church and as National Chaplain for PPFA.
I am one of the earlier Truthers having read D. R. Griffin's The New Pearl Harbor and being convinced by his disturbing questions to ask for a thorough investigation. Through a friend of Lee Hamilton (Sister Pat Kromer) I connected with him and took 6 copies of TNPH to him at the Reagan Building in DC as the 9/11 Commission was getting started. Hamilton denied knowing anything about Griffin's work during a TV interview and that was the most convincing reason for me to suspect a coverup.

On Tuesday morning September 11, 2001, my wife and I watched WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapse from the rooftop of our Brooklyn, Clinton Hill home. We lived quite close to the East River. In the 1990s I was commissioned by Scientific American Magazine to produce a series of illustrations for an article on controlled demolition of steel frame buildings. From the first time I viewed the video of the collapse of WTC 7 I was convinced it was a controlled demolition because of the extensive research I had to do for the Scientific American Magazine article.

A building cannot fall through itself at freefall acceleration unless there is a controlled demolition. Especially since building seven wasn't even hit by a plane.

I was a GS-13 Acquisition Program Manager at Hanscom AFB in Bedford, MA. working for the U.S. Air Force and am now retired after a 30 year career, 5 years blue suit and 25 years Civil Service. I have extensive experience in acquiring weapons systems in the areas of Acquisition Logistics, Acquisition Program Management, and Quality Assurance. I was the Logistics Director for Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade to upgrade the NORAD Command Center equipment in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado. As director I was responsible for the acquisition and sustainment of the upgraded NORAD equipment. This required a knowledge of the specifications and operational requirements and the testing to insure the equipment meets the required operational objectives. I worked many types of acquisition purchases and fielding of equipment. Minuteman III Reentry systems, Radar Systems, Intel Systems, and Nuclear Survivable Communications Systems. I also had TS clearances with many other intel, nuclear, and other clearances.
My relevant connection to understanding part of what happened is that In the 1990's, I was the Director of Logistics for the Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade program to upgrade the NORAD Command Center in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have an understanding of the operations of the entire system as the Logistics Director. I know our equipment tracked exactly where the planes were after the aircraft transponders were turned off, I am aware of the response times the military must intercept potential dangerous aircraft. I am aware of our strategic and tactical operations for protecting our country. I am aware that a squadron of intercept aircraft would not be taken off alert unless another squadron was assigned to cover for the coverage area. I am aware that if a training operation takes our aircraft away from their assigned coverage areas, other backup aircraft would be assigned to provide coverage. Someone was ordering our intercept aircraft away from the towers and the Pentagon to allow the commercial aircraft to hit their targets. I've heard VP Cheney was giving the maintenance stand down orders to block operational coverage while other aircraft were sent out to sea on a training mission... It would have had to be someone very high in the chain of command to pull that off (like VP Cheney).

As a 9/11 first responder who still has my FBI issued identification card from 9/11, and as someone who had previously been trained in demolition and aircraft incident Investigation, I have far too many questions about the events of that day.
As an American veteran, as a war veteran, as someone trained in M.I.J.I., COMSEC, Air to Ground Distress communications, and military strategy, I recognize a false flag attack on my nation when I see one! America owes a debt to those who survived and those whom did not survive. That debt was purchased through blood and can only be repaid through TRUTH!
For those of us that feel the guilt of surviving that fateful day, for those of us whom lost loved ones that day, for those of us that have relived that day for nearly two decades, it is time for answers, time for truth, time for healing!

Just as federal courts are reviewed by higher courts, matters of such impotence to the American people must be resolved in the legislative branch.

I've ran regions and provinces for the largest carriers in Western Canada, been a Project Manager in Marine Construction, Purchasing/Logistics Manager, Corporate Sales managing $25M per annum in business, and a professional touring musician. My passions are history, geopolitics, Truth no matter how uncomfortable or unspeakable, Peace, Courage, and Loyalty..
My ex-wife and I were watching the event unfold on Sept 11, 2001 (I was off work from a job site injury managing a West Coast marine construction project, my wife came home to be with me because of her shock at the event), and I watched the airplane impact of the 2nd tower live, then she joined me. She confirms to everyone that I immediately called into question multiple elements, including the swiftly assumed narrative about the WTC collapses in the coming days. The whole thing felt wrong immediately to me (absence of plane debris at the Pentagon and Shanksville, WTC1&2/WT7 footage). It was obvious controlled demolition was utilized. You could see it in the news replays of the 'collapse' as more footage from varying angles was shared. The initial responses and reports from reporters and eye witnesses incl. First Responders of all stripes was also very compelling. All that, and the MSM's response and assumption of the collapse narrative, was when the veil came off for me on the massive unrestrained evil and corruption operating above our known world. I'm also a member of Pilots911.org as a former Purchasing and Logistics manager in the aviation industry. Military veteran pilots now in the commercial field have described to me in private the impossibility that the alleged 'terrorists' that could barely land Cessnas, could execute the maneuvers required. In hindsight, the entire event was sloppy, and too complex for even the professional jackals that planned and executed it. If the Mainstream Media and US DOJ was not complicit in the cover-up, the whole world would have witnessed 9/11 easily exposed for what it was: a simultaneous sham and crime of spontaneous murder, unprecedented in human history. I applaud the efforts of this and other affiliated professional Truth groups, and consider the press conference in DC on Sept 11, 2019, with Fire Comm. Gioia, Mr. Mcillvaine, Mr. Gage, and Mr. Meiswinkle, to be the most important, compelling, professional, courageous, moving, revealing and shocking press conference I've ever seen both in current times and on record since the advent of television. The crickets heard from the MSM on it: an inexcusable abomination that amounts to, in my view, criminal complicity.

To be quite honest, after learning the truth of 9/11/01, I chose to drop out of high school. I never appreciated the extremely boring and lethargic days, the constant appeal to authority, the compliance expected through punishment. After learning this truth, I chose to educate myself, and its turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. I have fifteen years in metals construction, I've worked on many skyscrapers, I've been certified in 3G and 4G unlimited SMAW for fourteen years now, and last year started my own company in high end metals fabrication. I'm the President and founder of Kisiah Ornamental Iron, Inc, and continue this fight, until my dying breath.
As someone who has worked with metal their entire adult life, I know to the core of my very being that this was a controlled demolition. I'm a blacksmith, and know quite well the temperature and energy necessary to turn A36 steel into molten pools. The microspheres found are the smoking gun, no one can debate why they're present, no one!

Even before I saw the AE911Truth videos, I believed that WTC 1, 2, and 7 did not collapse as a result of fire, or being struck by airliners. I agreed with Dan Rather, when he said that it looked like a controlled demolition, since I'd seen videos of buildings that were brought down with that method. AE911Truth has convinced me this is the case. We need a timely investigation because there are still many individuals who know exactly what happened and how. We need to question them under oath as soon as possible, or we will lose the opportunity.

At the age of 11, I watched in horror, as my country transformed forever in real time right before my eyes. That morning I woke up to a shifting dusk morning air, as the birds chirped seemingly louder than usual next to my open bedroom window. That hot Colorado summer was quickly giving way to the coming fall season, and the new school year was setting its pace, as I began 6th grade just after a months long family visit in Europe with my grandparents. When I went downstairs for our routine morning cereal and homework check, a look of horror on my mother's face that I hope to never witness on anyone ever again, engulfed the living room as she gleamed in disbelief at the news reports on the television. Living smack dab in between Ft Carson and Peterson Air Force base, in my home town of Widefield Colorado, the city of Colorado Springs that morning was clenched in the security of the armed forces, on standby, ready to deploy by the command of NORAD, which was just 10 miles west of our home. I would never forget the military response to the attacks on our nation. Tanks, armored vehicles, and fully suited soldiers lined the streets. At that young age, the sight of responding heroes and patriots inspired me, and I was awestruck at what seemed at the time, the most honorable and brave men and women I'd ever seen, as my mother slowly drove my little sister and I to a terrified and frozen school district, which in the hours following would soon dismiss all classes until further notice. Things would never be the same again. Still impacted and full of revenge, 7 years later, at the age of 18 I joined the United States Army airborne infantry. It seems I was plagued with a thirst to do my part in fighting back those who brought so much pain and change to my nation. During my service I started hearing claims of an inside job. After years of rebuke, and denial, I wasn't hearing these claim any more, but began LISTENING to them. Unfathomable accounts. Unbelievable statements. Eventually I began to do my own research. In saddened disbelief, sitting in the middle of a war torn Middle Eastern village, I stared at videos, and reports on my lap top. It was an unquestionable conclusion. My own government, the leaders of this nation and others who I am sworn to and vowed to protect, played its own hand in the very attack I now deplore and fight to avenge. I felt furious. I felt betrayed beyond words. I wanted out of the military right then and there. The things we've done, the waste of life, the blood shed, all in the name of self inflicted victimization. Today I stand proud as a combat veteran, who now realizes who we were truly fighting for. It wasn't for those empty suits in smoke filled rooms. We were fighting for you. The citizens of this nation. The people. Those who knew the whole time what our government was doing to itself. We were fighting for the victims of that day and the citizens who on the days before and after 9/11, couldn't fight for themselves. Our government, a corrupt bureaucracy, who evidently is willing to kill its own people for power and control, will go beyond its means to silence those who speak against it. But I stand before you today, 20 years later, to say thank you to all the experts, the survivors and victims of that attack. Thank You for speaking out and fighting for truth. Today I am currently enrolled in college, studying to become an electrical engineer. I hope to one day utilize my education to back up what we know and continue this fight for truth with expertise and wisdom. My sincere condolences go out to the families, and my deepest respect go to the TRUE experts who have worked endlessly to expose the truth. You have inspired me to join this fight. To those who were there, I'm sorry you have to constantly relive that day and I pray for your peace. I salute you all. Stefan D Amos

I am a self-employed writer, traveler, online entrepreneur and the founder of two unique and groundbreaking movements. I am known by my fans and friends for superb critical thinking, passion for truth, and am considered one of the few (or only) Asians in the world who is able to think outside the box on every subject (since nearly 100 percent of Asians are pure followers and conformists with no freethought). I am also known as a great debunker of lies and propaganda. Additionally, I am also known as a skilled master of debate, utilizing reason, logic and factual points in my favor. I have ample quotes on my sites to back this up. I have been interviewed on various radio shows for my groundbreaking work and published in several magazines.
After examining a mountain of evidence and videos, I've concluded that Mr. Gage of AE911Truth and other experts in the Truth Movement have made an objective, compelling and scientific case that the government's official version of 9/11 is false, does not match the data, has more holes than Swiss cheese, and that a new independent proper investigation of 9/11 must be launched, in order to find the true perpetrators behind the attacks. It is clear that there is a cover up of what happened on 9/11. Key points: - Fire cannot cause the free fall collapse of three skyscrapers, let alone one. That is absolutely impossible. The fire was not hot enough to melt or weaken steel, and even if it was, there is no way that a small chunk of the towers at the top could plummet through the main portion below it at near free fall speed, as though 80,000 tons of steel were merely thin air. That is 100 percent impossible. Never before or after 9/11 have steel high rises been destroyed by fire. That is a fact that completely demolishes and disproves the official 9/11 story. - Basic logic and common sense also tell you that if office fires could destroy an entire skyscraper, then the demolition industry would be out of business, because why would they need to spend months setting up explosive charges to destroy a building, when a match and kerosene would be all that was needed to do the job? - There is also no precedent for a 757 airline to crash on land and disintegrate, leaving no debris, as two of them did on 9/11 - the Pentagon crash and the Shanksville crash. Moreover, the alleged maneuvers of AA77 were not possible for a 757, especially for an amateur pilot flying it for the first time, and it is also aerodynamically impossible for a plane to move at 400 knots close to the ground. No pilot in the world could accomplish that. And the feat has NEVER been replicated in a flight simulator under the same conditions. - It is also not possible for NORAD to fail to intercept four airlines on the same day. Even former NORAD tactical directors have stated this (See PatriotsQuestion911.com). At most, they may fail to intercept one airliner, but not four. No way. Someone must have ordered NORAD to stand down, or prevented them from reacting to standard protocol. Besides Mr. Gage's compelling film 9/11 Blueprint for Truth I also urge everyone out there to also watch the film Zero: An Investigation into 9/11 on YouTube for free. It contains many irrefutable points and credible experts, including Nobel Prize Winners, that completely debunk the official 9/11 story. Any fence sitter who watches it will have no doubt in their mind that they were not told the truth. We should not let such lies and cover ups get away. It is an insult to the victims and their families if we do nothing about this. I applaud Mr. Gage and his volunteers for their passion, courage and efforts. May all our efforts culminate in an unstoppable momentum that will unveil the truth behind 9/11 and bring justice to the true perpetrators. It's time that the good guys come together to root out the bad guys until they have nowhere to run. These criminals, whoever they are, must learn that they are not above the law, and that their actions will have due consequences. As the leader of two online movements, I will do my part to help get the word out about this movement in its aim to unveil the truth. As Arthur Schopenhauer said, All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

There are serious problems with the official 911 commission's findings regarding the modes of collapse of the three WTC buildings and collection and interpretation of forensic evidence and eyewiteness testimony. Apparantly , the scientific method was not applied by those that directed and oversaw the investigation into what actually happened on 9/11/01.

I completed my mechanical engineering degree in summer of 09. I am currently job searching. I have little engineering experience outside of school and I am excited to start building energy and transportation systems, inexpensive and efficient housing, and agricultural machines. I have a minor in physics and I had excellent professors in statics, mechanics of materials, and material science.
Where do you start? If a plane hit the pentagon, why wont they release a video which shows this. There certainly should have been more plane parts in shanksville and the pentagon. Even if the fire was hot enough to melt the metal of the plane, where are the tons of molten metal? Building 7 is obvious demolition. The biggest inconsistency with building 7 and the towers is that stress would have been concentrated where the planes hit or where the fires were buring, however fracture does not occur at this stress concentration but rather at the base of the structures.

Longtime active advocate for 9-11 Truth. Believe this deceptione is such a travesty for the good average citizens of America that a new, impartial, far-reaching investigation is something EVERYONE, of all nations, should fight for. I am a firefighter and medical responder at a nuclear power station.
The newest evidence of unreacted nano-thermite chips and spherical iron end-products is a compelling addition to the already overwhelming evidence. Any observer can see the glaring anomalies (speed, symmetry, squibs, sounds, focalized ejections) in all three demolitions...the problem is getting that observer to look emperically at the evidence in the fist place.

Buildings do not spontaneously pulverize from fires, otherwise we would never need demolition experts to carefully bring down buildings -- why should that profession exist if a simple match will do the job to bring down steel framed skyscrapers? That's a tongue-in-cheek question, but it highlights a serious point: Those buildings had assistance to fall on 9/11. We should all demand an inquiry to uncover the details, culprits, and to initiate prosecution for those criminal culprits who must be brought to justice.

I am not an engineer. I am a nurse. I possess adequate investigative skills and common sense, which I think are all that are required to decipher the truth.
I was exposed to the truth of 9/11 by a c-span presentation on 'FORA.TV entitled Theories of September 11th'. This was October of 2007. I was impressed and began my own research. I was convinced it was an inside job when I heard the statements of people coming out of the WTC stating there were explosions in the sub-levels that killed, maimed, and burned people. How could that be unless there were people on the inside? The official story did not stand up to examination. My view of the world was radically changed that day. I have not been the same since. We who know are compelled to action.

I am a student at Faculty of arts and architecture at Technical University in Liberec (CZ). I'm studiing Architecture, this year I make bacalary exam. I was born in 1983 in Czech republic, I studied at gymnasium (1 year) and high school of arts (4 years, absolutorium).
When I saw live collapses of WTC in television, I was shocked. But I was also wondering by speed and geometric precision of falls of this great building. Why they didn't fall on some building in near? That time I was student of high school of art, I didn't know anything about engineering, but with teachers and student we spoke about that it looked like demolitions. Also we spoked about president Bush and gas business of his family, you know, we had different view to this thing than people in USA. Speed, fast start of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it look rearly strange.

What can I say? One has only to look at the collapse of Building 7 to dispel all doubt that the official story is a lie. Futhermore, it is impossible that 3 buildings should collapse at free fall into their own footprint within brief hours of each other where no high rise has ever come down in this manner before and where other fires burned much hotter and much longer.

I watched everything that happened, including the bringing down of World Trade Center 7. This matter could be settled by simply reshowing that event as it happened with either of news anchors Peter Jennings, Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw. They reported beginning around 2:00 PM that the building was unstable and in danger of collapsing. They then reported that a decision might have to be made as to whether the building would have to be brought down for reasons of safety. Finally, at 5:00 PM, they announced the decision to bring the building had been made and twenty minutes later the cameras focused on the building as it was brought down uneventfully and without any surprise. Just show the old video tapes beginning at 2:00 PM and watch the event as it unfolded!

Concern that the construction met code, especially in concrete and structural steel erection. Concern that there was not an acceptable oblative fire protection coating on the structural steel (such as Albi Durospray). Concerned about a purported CIA emergency diesel fuel tank in the building that did not meet code and may have been a contributory factor. Concerned that the building fire protection systems met code, were operable, and had been tested. Concern about actual fire loading of the building (allowable and actual combustible materials, when this was verified and how it was controlled).

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 'AND' A steel column falling through space with no resistance other than air should reach the ground before the building it came from does. A CONTRADICTION thus is developed by the NIST/FEMA/ 911 Commission 'story': In order for the steel member to be ejected laterally sufficient that it does not reach the ground before the falling building the forces at play result in a very large factor for the modality of elasticity possessed by the structure being compressed by the above 'collapsing' structure... This expresses itself with a large conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy that can result in such 'explosive' lateral projections... Unfortunately that would require magnitudes of RESISTANCE that simply DID NOT EXIST since the building reached the ground approximately 14-15 seconds from initial collapse (free fall + 5-6 seconds), Thus we have a glaring contradiction watching the building reach the ground before the steel column. Their IS only one resolution for this contradiction: One explanation accounts for the 'explosive' lateral projections AND AT THE SAME TIME THE RAPID COLLAPSE OF THE BUILDING: A CONTROL DETONATION... The number of people who know this IS increasing every year...I pray that in my lifetime I will live to see the man who tortured me IN MY INNOCENCE receive the SAME mercy he gave me- in his guilt... Thank you jesus...amen
