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.

As a media professional, with over 10 years experience working in the field, I have an above average eye for nuances in video, and also have a better than average visual memory. My training through high school and college has led me to understand how the news and entertainment media technically manipulates cameras and footage. The minds of viewers believe events happen in real time that physically cannot.
To most everyone, seeing is believing. Seeing with an open, yet discriminating eye leads to more truth. Richard Gage did a wonderful job gathering and presenting the images and videos that truly describe the events of 9/11. In order for the establishment and mainstream media to finally discount the theories and less known facts surrounding 9/11, they simply need to prove the official story - that all the circumstances of the collapse and aftermath would be true without the use of explosives.

The nearly free-fall velocity and the symmetrical path of collapse of Building 7, the confined footprint of the building's debris, the lack of any external force applied to the building's exterior are suspicious. Coupled with these factors, a visual comparison of the collapse with that of buildings being leveled by professional, controlled demolition suggests that the cause officially attributed to the failure (weakening of the structural members due to fire) is exceedingly unlikely. The true cause was likely an intentional, controlled demolition using explosive thermal charges typically employed for such purposes. The failures of WTC Buildings 1 and 2, likewise, are suspicious due to the inherent design strength of the buildings' cores to withstand aircraft impact; the relatively low temperature of a kerosene fire v. the temperature required for structural steel failure; the presence of subterranean molten steel, suggesting that a high-temperature cutting material was employed (thermate or a derivative); the debris cloud, which resembled that from an explosion; and like Building 7, the near free-fall velocity of collapse. Together these factors suggest that the cause of collapse was an intentional deployment of a professionally designed and executed demolition process utilizing systematically and remotely detonated, thermal cutting charges strategically situated throughout the buildings on key structural support members and their joints.

There needs to be a structural evaluation of the failure of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 on September 11, 2001 in New York City. I believe there is no possibly way the buildings could have collapsed the way they did without a professional demolition effort. All three buildings should have fallen over first.

I was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. My father worked in the financial district and ran for his life when the buildings fell. I wasn't sure that day if he survived. I believed the lie that the towers collapsed due to fire for a decade, until I started seeing some videos and documentaries online that presented irrefutable evidence that those buildings were demolished, which can only indicate foul play. This is one of the most important organizations in demanding a new investigation into the destruction of the three WTC towers.

I am not an Architect and not a member of your group, but I have been a member of ny9/11truth, ny9/11t-action and nyccan.org for the past 6 years. I have collected many signatures for the 9/11 Ballot Initiative here in NYC for a new independent investigation of 9/11. Unfortunately our hard work and determination were slighted when the 70 000 signatures were eliminated by the NY City Clerk, thus gagging the voices of 70 000 New Yorkers. I am German born but a naturalized US citizen, traveled all over the world as a PAA in flight purser, retired now, but not retired to do everything in my power to get the truth out about 9/11.
My initial response to the collapse of the towers and building 7 into their footprints was that no building would collapse in this fashion having been hit by a plane. Building 7 in particular was strange, as it was not struck by a plane, and the fires that one could see smoldering and not raging were not enough to bring the building down in such a fashion. For a while I was in denial, but then I heard Dr. David Ray Griffin speak here in NY at a 9/11truth meeting and he convinced me that not all of what our government had been telling us was true. After that I continued reading, especially the scientific data and became an active member in ny9/11truth.

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

If building 7 collapsed from damage suffered from the remains of the twin towers, the collapse would not have been symmetrical into its footprint. A 47 story building is approximately 500 feet tall and for it to fall at free fall speed into its footprint is impossible by chance.

It is obvious the official report is complete BS and this was an inside job. Once you research the real facts of the incident, particularly building 7 (the smoking gun), there is no debate. Only a matter of time before truth comes out, it is impossible to cover it up at this point. Very sad why the truth has taken so long to become publicly accepted and acknowledged. I hope people open their eyes soon.

At first I could not believe our government could do such a thing. My husband was a Milwaukee Fire Fighter for 30 years and he kept telling me jet fuel cannot bring down a skyscraper. He said it would just burn up. That is why the fire fighters were in the process of climbing to the top of the tower to save people. We then went to a talk at the Milwaukee Public Library that was given by Mr. Gage. After that talk I was convinced the fire did not bring down the towers. The whole 911 had so many unanswered questions it was unbelievable.

There is absolutely no way the government's official myth stands up to even the most perfunctory scrutiny.

WTC 7 came down in its own footprint at free fall speed. For this to happen, all support columns must have give way at the same time, indicating a controlled demolition. The model that NIST provides does not match what actually happened. Further the source code of the model is classified.

Anything that I have researched over these last 14 years, leads me to raise a full cloud of suspicion for the media and the gov. narrative of 911.

I still don't under stand how soft aluminum manages to slice a near perfect cut out of a plane going through super hardened solid steel girders like a hot knife through butter. And the nose of one actually comes out the other side of one of the towers. You owe your people an explanation.

I would love to know the truth about what happened on 9/11. There are mountains of evidence which prove the buildings collapsed via planned demolition. The plane entering the building showed no resistance on collision and penetrated the steel frames like cutting through cheese, and jet fuel could not have melted the steel frames. Only thermite could which was present at the base of the building! WTC7 falling on its own due to internal fires is ridiculous. How could a building fall so effortlessly at the rate of gravity from a few fires that were in fact burning out. Too much evidence has been ignored and the people of America have a right to know what really happened. If there is nothing to hide at the world trade center site then a full investigation should be granted.
