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.

I spent the afternoon of 9/10/2001 at the Reagan Presidential Library in Pasadena, CA and flew on a red eye flight back home. We landed at the Hartford, CT airport at 9:00 AM that fatal morning and I listened to the entire ordeal unfold on the radio on the drive home. It was clear to me that the world had changed forever. In 2010, I learned about the third tower and watched it free fall in horror. Truth must prevail over evil.

I am an associate producer of a television series which airs on PBS called Spotlight On. We would be glad to produce a 5-6 minute public education program which would air daily on PBS for a year or more, highlighting your organization and informing the public about explosive material being used in a controlled demolition of the WTC and building 7. This show does require underwriting for a reasonable cost, as PBS does not produce their own programming. I am also interesting in signing your petition. Contact me at wendy@trivue.org.
I have listened to Mr. Gage on Alex Jones, TV news stations, and Coast to Coast and I am convinced that 911 was funded by the CIA and the shadow government, as the evidence points to many inconsistencies in the official 911 commission report. I feel it is my obligation to humanity to expose these criminals, as if they could do that, who knows what's next? All of your evidence points to a well planned event on 911 and it must come to light in memory of all who perished on that day.

Witnessed on television the day of the events that a pattern was observed in the fall of the buildings which are not explained in physical form naturally. We saw from that moment a kind of controlled demolition but no one was saying that and our perception was not accepted. Immediately, thought it was some kind of controlled explosion. The official story is insufficient to explain this.

Bill Genitsaris, Consulting Struc
BA Engineering, Uni. of Melbourne
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Consulting Engineer with over 20 years experience in Civil and Structural Engineering. Worked in the fields of structural engineering design, construction, demolition, investigation of building movements and disputes. Worked for many years as a senior consulting structural engineer in the residential and commercial fields. In those years, provided professional services from engineering design advise for new and existing buildings, construction and demolition advice/procedural recommendations, to remedial works recommendations for buildings which are cracking/moving. Currently specialize in investigating movements and structural issues/disputes related to buildings, providing advice on remedial works, for both new and existing/old buildings/structures. Often oversee the remedial works (from engineering, architectural and construction/project management perspectives). Have viewed well over 2 000 houses/dwellings/buildings, subject to movements/cracking issues, in addition to the countless building designs, consultations and construction management. With experience in the design, construction and demolition of buildings, (residential to high-rise buildings) I have developed a great knowledge base to aid in determining the cause of structural problems, provide an appropriate/practical solution, estimate the costs of the required works and oversee/manage the project.
this space is too limited to list all of the structural issues and laws of physics/nature that have been violated by the official story, let alone go into the non-physics related issues (ie motivations, who was involved, etc). however i will state as follows: i often ask people 'how many buildings came down on 911 in New York?'. when the answer is (almost always) 2, i then ask them 'why the did not know about the 47 story building, which was not hit by a plane, yet it collapsed approx. 7 hours after the twin towers'. Even with this fact, they still cannot accept that the media has withheld the truth from them and it seems that they wish to remain (willfully) ignorant. As many others have stated, this is the definitive smoking gun. It is impossible for an unoccupied building, which only has 2 very small fires, to collapse. 2 points which i have not seen raised to date: If the pancake theory is correct, then as each floor truss disconnects from the steel RHS columns (both the ~47 core columns and the ~200 perimeter columns), it would mean that the columns should have remained in one complete length (ie over 100m/300 feet long) and as the building was demolished, oops I mean collapsed due to planes hitting them, the columns should have at least remained erect (especially the core) for that height. Or they should have fallen onto the adjoining buildings, at 100m long, causing major damage (in a plan view leaving a shell type of appearance, or like holding a bunch of straws vertically and letting them fall). Second, in the docs I have seen to date, I have not heard anybody talk about the actual floor loads on the building floors, just prior to collapse/demo. As an engineer, I know that every building on earth is basically designed to support floor loads (usually live, furniture/equipment & dead). A 'factor of safety' is included in the design, thus making the completed structure easily able to remain erect, even if each and every floor was loaded to its capacity (ie the building was jam packed with people in every room on every level and each floor was loaded with the maximum amount of furniture weight). Yet the twin towers were nowhere near their floor load capacity, just prior to collapse, (many people didn't go to work that day and many people managed to exit the building prior to collapse, (I don't know the official number of people that each floor could support)), and no people were present in WTC7!!! So, the issue is; How is it possible for empty (or almost empty) buildings, which are not subject to the live load component and hence not experiencing stresses anywhere near their elastic limits or ultimate limits, collapse at free fall speeds, as a result of fire?

Steel structures do not collapse at free fall speed unless brought down with explosives. Having watched the collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings and listened to witness accounts, it is obvious that explosives were used. An investigation into who rigged the buildings and to what end is immediately necessary. Our future survival is at stake!

For me the elephant in the room was building no. 7.

I read somewhere that the power to all of the security cameras was shut down a few days before the attack while some sort of Maintenance occurred. Finding out who orchestrated that event might give you some clues as to who was behind this. - - - - What amazes me is a coordinated effort like this involves a lot of people from the material suppliers to the field installers etc. I don't know how they are able to keep every person involved silent regarding such a horrific event.

"Looking at NIST's statements about World Trade Center building number 7 and putting it into logical form I have concluded that building seven was taken down by controlled demolition.In addition with my education, observing freefall is an impossibility unless the buildings were taking down by explosives.""NIST's lead technical investigator, Shyam Sunder, stated in the WTC 7 technical briefing that free fall could only happen when an object 'has no structural components below it.'[ii] The only way for a building to have no structural components below it is to remove the lower structural components with an external force such as explosives. If the upper part of a building is crushing its lower structural components, in other words, doing the work of removing them, not all of its energy will be converted into motion and its descent will not be free fall.""Let f = free falls = structuree = explosive demolition! = not> = then!f > s > !ee > !s > fif s > !f= !(s > !f)= !s > ff = trueTherefore:!( !f > s > !e )f > !s > e"

We manufacture and sell log home building materials, selling materials all across the US. My company has survived the housing explosion and though I am retirement age I want to work as long as I can. I have been successful using the tools of hard work and the truth. The truth is what calls me to join AE for 911 truth. Lies have been the order of the day in our once great country for way too long. It is time to spread the truth far and wide no matter who does not like it. My hero said the following: 'There is not a truth existing which I fear, or would wish unknown to the whole world.'' Thomas Jefferson I stand with him and AE for 911 truth.
Even a novice can read enough to understand that only three concrete and steel buildings have ever collapsed in history and all three of them on one day. A very low level of understanding might have one thinking that the two towers that fell might be explainable without resorting to conspiracy but building seven having not been hit or otherwise severely damaged is a smoking gun. Thank God for your organization because there is NO higher calling than seeking the truth. Godspeed, and take my support with you, how I wish it could be much more. Ed Croker

Still can't 'get over it' like so many people tell me to do. Hard to believe this level of destruction and death has yet to hold anyone accountable. The level of cover up is immense and I'm tired of people calling any truth seeker a 'conspiracy theorist' when the conspirators are still at large. There is no way a few men armed with box cutters could pull this off. No conceivable way!

It goes on an on.
I watched all buildings go down, didnt turn off news for 2 weeks watching the coverage, in tears the whole time, I don't believe the 4 planes were ever flown into anything but a hanger outside Boston where everyone,mostly except the handlers were gassed, I think military, missiles or remote controlled weapons were flown into the 3 buildings and the fourth was intended for Building 7,

One does not need to be a structural engineer or physicist to know that steel frame buildings don't collapse straight down into their own footprint due to fire. Once you look at the evidence and listen to the experts you can't believe NIST.

The original report causes more questions than answers. There is no way those planes would have not fallen apart before even getting to the towers. The wings would have sheared off even if they made it that far. Which they couldn't. Also there is no way, without help, they could have fallen at freefall. All we want is the truth. We deserve the truth. All the people who lost someone that day deserves the truth. America can never move forward until the past is revealed.

If something can't happen as alleged, then it didn't. Finding thermite explosives in the dust, explosions pre-collapse, and the entire preposterous conspiracy theory of Arabs with box cutters reveals it's utter fraudulence. Not to mention the equally ridiculous claims about the Pentagon. The entire saga from top to bottom just doesn't hold up to rational scrutiny.

9/11 represents a turning point in American foreign policy. The loss of thousands of innocent American lives both on and since 9/11 demands honesty and clarity in the events on that day. A responsible government would not hesitate in uncovering the truth. The only way to achieve justice and closure is for a transparent, formal investigation with subpoena powers by a prosecutor with no conflicts of interest. Remember... steel buildings do not collapse at free fall without explosives.

The A&E for 9-11 Truth, along with trusted friends, were instrumental in my awareness of the full scope of the false flag operation known as 9/11. Your efforts, along with others, paint a clear picture in my mind of what really happened. The whole operation was clearly an inside job, and in the end we have lost more freedoms in this country and stand to lose more if we fail to get the message out to more people and persist in our efforts to do the same and get more folks energized and angry about it all.
