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 doubt very much the story that is given, about the buildings collapsing upon themselves due to the fire as a result of the planes hitting the building. For two buildings to collapse upon their own footprint in exactly the same way defies probability. Building 7 of the World Trade Center, a steel reinforced building that only had a few office fires, just confirms that this was an inside job.

Well-rounded engineering career, specializing in electronics, instruments, control and computers. Mechanics/Design/Environmental Studies/Materials Science/Mathematical modeling and law were also studied.
The collapses were framed by the media and official investigations as if there was little doubt in their conclusions on collapse. Taking a fresh look at the collapses 3 years ago woke up my rational thinking and education to the fact that the evidence and scientific numbers didn't add up in the disciplines of mechanics and materials. They made it easy for people to imagine that the initial events alone could actually cause the WTC 1, 2 and 7 to collapse as they did.

I am not an architect or engineer. I have been a Project Controller in the Building and Development Industry for over 20 years. In my professional opinion would be impossible for the planes which I believe were remotely controlled from building #7 to have the ability to bring down the twin towers on 911 because of burning jet fuel on the uppermost floors. This would only be the result of a carefully implemented controlled demolition. It is also my professional opinion that it was not a passenger plane that hit the pentagon but likely a drone which was remotely controlled. The size of the hole in the building was nowhere near the size of a hole that would have been left by a passenger plane. Impossible.

I have studied and looked at every aspect of the collapse. It has left more questions than answers. There was to many indications that more happened that day than we were told.
There are to many holes in the scientific break down involving the collapse. There is video from the U.K. that shows a reporter claiming building 7 had collapsed when you can clearly see it in the background and with a time/date stamp from the network. The residue from the explosive called Thermite found in the dust at the Trade Center site should be enough reason to open a new and independent investigation alone. That and the fact that the 9/11 commission was hand picked by the administration. Also I would like to see an inquiry into the strange construction on vacant floors in the Trade Centers prior to 9/11.

Simply put, the collapse of the twin towers as described by the NIST report defies Newton's laws (unless explosives were used).

I graduated in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. I took several courses in Structural Analysis and Material Engineering, but I don't have any work experience in the architecture field. I also have a short experience as a glider pilot.
I am convinced that a steel frame building has a very small probability to collapse in an event of fire. The WTC 7 collapse is not explainable without resorting to the controlled demolition. The symmetry and velocity of collapse, the dynamics of collapse in general point toward the controlled demolition as a cause of collapse. Also, certain footage fully qualify as forensic evidence. As for the airplane hitting the Pentagon, I support PilotsFor911Truth.org, and find it unplausible that the airplane 'vaporized' upon impact scattering so few debris and showing a narrow and deep penetration into the building.

With a focus on structural engineering and design, I received a Bachelor of Science degree (with honors) in Architectural Engineering. I assisted in the design of bridge structural components for a large project for the Texas Department of Transportation. I designed reinforced concrete and steel components for bridges. I carried out laboratory and field research to better understand the mechanisms of premature failure of reinforced concrete structures. I received a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering, with a focus on construction materials. I have also worked as a project manager for a foundation construction company.
I have spent hours listening to eyewitness accounts and analyses by engineers and scientists on the topic of the causes of collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. I can only come to the conclusion that the commission for the official 9/11 report was grossly negligent in its investigation. Not only were critical details omitted from the reports, but blatant lies have been and continue to be spread regarding the actual events on September 11, 2001. I am a scientist and engineer in support of a new, correct, scientifically sound, and comprehensive investigation into the causes of collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7, as well as a criminal investigation into all people associated with one of the most horrific crimes in human history.

As I wrote to the professor of forensic engineering at Columbia University after hearing Mr. Gage: I think Gage's strength is that he strictly relies on network video clips, physical evidence, and eyewitness accounts to present his alternative analysis. He avoids the almost incomprehensible social psychological forces that may be forcing most people not to want really to know.

Never thought much about alternative explanations until I saw a video and wondered why they collapsed vertically with minimal leaning, and apparently from the bottom as well.

After years of suspicion, I became convinced this year through your videos and postings about building 7. I am interested in the cover up as it appears more than obvious has taken place. America is a great country and will get even better once the real perpetrators are brought to justice.

J'ai vu plusieurs documentaires, entendu plusieurs sp'cialistes de tout bords, et je trouve inadmissible que l'on doivent encore faire des pieds et des mains pour avoir enfin la v'rit' sur ce drame. Les morts qui en ont result', qu'ils fussent Am'ricains, Afghans, Irakiens et je ne parle m'me pas des arrestations arbitraires, suivi de tortures dans diff'rents pays avec des citoyens de toutes nationalit's, tout cela sous couvert d'une protections n'cessaire face ' des ennemis, trop d' abus, de souffrance, de mensonges. Justice doit 'tre faite. Et quelques fois la justice a besoin d''tre au pied du mur, sans possibilit' de s''chapper pour enfin faire son travail. Peu importe le temps que cela prendra, pourvu que le r'sultat soit ' la hauteur de nos attentes. Merci pour votre d'marche, surtout ne c'd' ' aucune pression. Vous avez le soutien de toutes les personnes 'prises de justice. Et nous sommes nombreux, croyez moi. D'sol'e pour le roman mais il fallait que je le dise. Cordialement.

I am constantly amazed by the sheer audacity of this crime and the unwillingness of the general public to look objectively at the evidence. If people would just look at the evidence it is impossible to attribute 9/11 to planes crashing into buildings. The story does not stand up at even the most basic levels.

For 10 years I was a custodian for a 10 acre campground and a 53,000 sq ft church building. My public school education was until 9th grade. I've worked around various construction sites in the past.
Having read about and watched videos regarding the Sept 11th event It's very obvious that explosives were used. I probably have about all of the books and videos that have been provided. I've been interested in aviation from the time I was a toddler. Over several years I've watched and re-watched all of the online videos that I can find. And have read books regarding this event. It does not take much common (or UN-common) sense to see what happened according to videos, and other recorded evidence. All three WTC buildings were imploded.

I attended college for two years and obtained a transfer degree; unfortunately I did not continue after that.
I watched as the events of that day unfolded on live television, seeing the unbelievable demise of two steel-framed buildings as their skeletal structure was blown completely apart and crumbled into themselves. Sitting there in complete disbelief watching as fire slowly spread through a few offices in Building 7, expecting to see the fire extinguished - it was an utter surprise as it too collapsed down into itself a couple of hours later.

In some time in the future when the truth has long been told about 9/11, new generations will ask how so many people were duped into going along with with what turned out to be the real conspiracy. Similar in many ways that we ask how so many good people were duped by the Nazis.

Take a five-legged table for instance. Knock out two of those legs, it falls with a tilt. Same can be said for the dozen or so I beams. The tops of the buildings should have toppled, leaving a decapitated building.

I say the WTC collapse was a demolition due to the fact that steel, with a 2800 degree threshold, does not buckle in 1000 to 1800 degree heat. It would have taken at least three hours at 2800 degrees for steel to even start thinking about melting, let alone turn into a pile of molten goo. That is just my unprofessional opinion, I'm no subject matter expert on this, but I did get past the sixth grade in school. These buildings had much more than office fires and didn't buckle.
