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.

The mainstream story is inconsistent with everything I know about physics, strengh of materials, momentum, energy transfer. Building 7 is the smoking gun. There is no plausible explanation besides a controlled demolition. The explosives could not have been planted without government involvement. That BBC reported the collapse 25min early implicates the entire media and their cooperation. Shanksville is almost laughable with total absence of debris, and a ridiculously small hole. A hole which was present and photographed a decade earlier. Cell phone calls?? Cḿon...

I've played lots of gigs, had songs published and recorded, but never really had the big hit. YET!!!
I grew up in Maryland, and a few of my old friends work for Controlled Demolition, which is based out of Phoenix, Maryland. I had even been to Mark Loizeaux's house, and had worked on television commercials with his cousin, a cameraman. Since my friends worked for them, I had watched a few shows about controlled demolition on the Discovery channel so I could see David, Jimmy, etc. On the morning of 9/11 my girlfriend called me and told me to turn on the television. It was after the first jet, but before the second one. One thing I DISTINCTLY remember is that they said a MISSILE had hit the Pentagon. From watching the Discovery shows, I had become familiar with the expression, into it's own footprint. I don't need to tell you the rest!!! Naive as I (and many of us were) was, I thought that somehow those Muslims must REALLY be smart, because they figured just how to hit them to make them collapse. I NEVER DREAMED that there were people diabolical enough to do what was done. I have GROWN UP since then.

I was in Manhattan, at school, on 9/11. That morning, I was with my friend Nate, from Boston. As we both watched the buildings fall, he realized his mother was on one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. After doing my own research into these events, I have found many inconsistencies in the official government story of what happened that day. I believe we need a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. The speech that Mr. Gage gave at Manitoba University is the most concise explanation of my opinions on the WTC collapse. I hope someone can make a similar video on the Pentagon crash.

From the moment the first building collapsed I knew it was a controlled demolition. We studied controlled demolition for building end of life and to engineer a building to fall into itself as three buildings did that day must be done carefully as to not topple the building one way or another. You can see the explosive charges being detonated on the floor the buildings were hit. Never before in America has even one building collapsed let alone three buildings in one day - World Trade Center I, World Trade Center II, and World Trade Center 7. World Trade Center 7 did not even have a plane hit into it and so it stands to reason that if World Trade Center 7 was controlled demolished so too were World Trade Center I, and World Trade Center II. Justice must be served and dignity restored to the Engineering profession. INVESTIGATE!

I remember watching the first tower fall, live. I asked my wife, 'How did the terrorists get the explosives in there?' It was so obvious that it was a controlled demolition. Later I heard the official story and thought it was a mistake. After awhile I realized that the story wasn't going away and I knew that there were others that knew what I knew. That is when I joined AE911Truth. There are many physical laws that the official story does not take into account but the most important are the laws of the conservation of mass and the conservation of energy.

I have poured plenty of iron and iron based alloys in my career. Liquidus temperature for construction type steels is around 2735F - 2750F. It is impossible for the steel structure to have been compromised to the point of the type of failure that was experienced. There are many different technical things from material science to metallurgy to computer science issues that are obviously incorrect and or fabricated.

Westerham, United Kingdom
Occupation: Retired Building Control Officer
I have a Diploma in Building Control/Building Surveying and I am a retired Member of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers. I was employed within local authority building control and had responsibility for ensuring that building work within an area of central London complied with UK building regulations. I have experience with nearly all types of property and their uses and this includes iconic high rise office buildings. My duties included checking plans submitted for building regulation approval and for inspecting the progress and quality of work on site. I have expertise in fire safety and had responsibility for the inspection and fire certification of buildings, the assessment of innovative structural fire engineered designs and the evaluation of prescriptive and non-prescriptive solutions for means of escape in case of fire.
It is beyond credibility for the twin towers WTC1 and WTC2 and for building WTC7 to have all collapsed in such an unpredictable and totally unprecedented manner. All three had failure characteristics which defy logical explanation unless controlled demolition is considered. The observed fire and impact loads have all been shown by independent professional investigation to be well within the design parameters of each building and that total collapse should not have occurred in any one of them never mind all three. It is time for politicians and the media to carry out their public duty and call for a new and impartial public investigation where all the evidence both for and against the official position can be seen and heard.

10 days after the collapse I had trained to be a volunteer in CT when called by the AMTA to become a responder. Then I attended a team leadership training in New York and became Tony Sciacotos' right hand man who was in charge of the NY Team. During these 10 days I came across a police car with 2 officers in it which was covered with debris. After discussing this and what happened they gave me permission to remove some debris from their patrol car which had been under the Twin Towers when one fell.
I became a team leader of the NYC massage team as a volunteer and worked in Firehouses and Precincts for 7 days. For 3 days I was the team leader at the main command center running the massage therapy team. I heard many stories and walked to the destruction to observe and gave my team members permission to do so in groups of 2 while we worked on the rescuers and others.

At first, I went along with what we had been told about 9/11. I needed to support my sons in Iraq and with a patriotic vigilance, for their sake and mine. When the conspiracy theories began, I took notice but didn't take them seriously. As I read articles and watched more and more videos that contradicted the story we had been fed, the stronger my doubt became. And now it appears that legitimate professionals are speaking up, and giving concrete facts that go against the tale we were told. I am convinced we were duped, I AM MAD AS HELL.

I am not an Architect or Engineer. However I do have common sense. People call me a Conspiracy Theorist just to discredit my argument. I just want the truth.
After watching countless documentaries I am convinced that this was an inside job. The science of it sealed the deal. Witness testimony of the explosions prior to collapse, the rate of speed of each collapse, the inspections of elevator shafts prior to 9/11 etc. I can keep going on and on. Oh yeah, the missing trillion dollars as well. Building 7 was Larry Silverstein's opportunity to build a new skyscraper.

The official version is a lie. The story that office furniture brought building 7 down is beyond belief. Larry Silverstein's statement that they should 'pull it'is a demolition term. The BBC woman reporter telling us the building came down one half hour before it did is also incredibly amazing.

I am a college student. I've always maintained a high GPA and I solve problems with logical thinking. The way 9/11 was orchestrated with all of the coincidences just doesn't make sense. Logically, none of the story adds up. I hate dishonesty as well as corruption. I want to see the world shaken up. I want answers. I want to expose the corrupt head of the government.
I knew very little about engineering before my digging around in to 9/11. Then I found out that the collapse of the buildings does not make sense. None of the story makes sense. I'm sick of lies and corruption. I do not believe that honesty is too much to ask for. In my opinion, the elite wanted to attack the Middle East for their oil.

It's clear to me, after some research, that we, the American people, have not been told the truth behind 9/11. It seems we have been used as pawns, manipulated by the powers-that-be, to push their unethical, immoral, and despicable agenda. I'd like to see justice served. The criminal minds responsible for the hundreds of lives tragically lost, for the thousands+ families/loved ones who remain devastated, and for the millions who've been further enslaved by the 9/11 devious plot should be exposed and held accountable.

Truth seeker, asker of questions, doubter of the 9/11 commission report. Not the smartest guy, but smart enough to ask questions.
There are too many holes in the official narrative of September 11, 2001. The fact that not one, but both Towers came down at free fall speed raises several flags (false flags if you will). But the most puzzling aspect of the events of 9/11 was WTC 7, which suffered no significant damage and was not hit by a plane. These points I make, as well as the rest of the movement, are definitely cause for a private investigation of 9/11/01.

The official account of the events of 9/11 is not possible. The N.I.S.T. Report's proposition that 3 concrete and steel buildings fell due to fire is totally bogus. This therefore puts the government in a very indefensible position regarding the facts.

Medical doctor. I am a scientist and cannot understand why WTC7 collapsed. It makes no sense whatsoever.
There is too much uncertainty about the reasons behind the controlled demolition of WTC7 that there should be a full and independent review to explain the basic physics/engineering behind the very clearly and heavily documented events of 9/11 given the massive loss of life that day.

Obviously a controlled demolition of at least 3 buildings with official incorrect narrative stating otherwise. All perpetrators to this crime remain at large and demand prosecution immediately. Also related is the controlled demolition of the Pentagon, which should be prosecuted as well.

I have watched hours of video on 9/11. At first I was skeptical and believed like most of the general public until I watched some very well documented videos explaining how a skyscraper is built to withstand fire, and heavy loads. Also, that jet fuel alone could not have melted the steel. WTC 7 collapsed the very same way and was not struck by a plane. Over the years, researchers have pointed out that there have been lots and lots of high rise fires even worse than WTC and none of them collapsed.
