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 have viewed many of the videos over the years.' The failure of the building in a near freefall manner should only happen if the entire structure fails near simultaneously. Even comparing it to the recent Surfside, FL apartment collapse where the floor layers ended up resting resting successively upon each other, one can see it was not a normal collapse. The non-symmetric damage would not result in a symmetric failure.

I graduated from Montana Tech in May 2009 with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering. I have lived all over the country and currently live in the Houston area working for an oil and gas service company.
The events of 9/11 were false flag terror. In order to break through the political barriers which inhibit identification of the true culprits behind these events, scientific evidence and reasoning in opposition to the official 9/11 commission report must be brought to the forefront by technical professionals.

It is clear in the video that the buildings are collapsing at near free fall speed. It is clear that there were no logical explanations to the thermite found. More and more. There is more and more evidence that there was more than just a terrorist attack on 9/11. Where was NORAD?

As a commercial aircraft mechanic, I'm aware of how fragile an aluminum & composite structure is. I always thought it would be a great to see an aluminum aircraft try to fly though a steel girder structure. Just the frame so you can clearly witness steel box frames cut the aircraft to ribbons w/ little significant damage. Of course the engines may seem like bowling balls, but how likely are they to cause damage to more than a very small part of a large structure? Keep the faith guys!

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Penn State University. I worked for a developer (commercial and residential) for two years after graduating. During my engineering courses I studied structures with Harry West, an excellent structural engineering professor. During that semester, we did a case study on the disaster that happened at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City in the 80's. I recently looked up the information about the event (in particular when I was watching Mr. Gage's videos about WTC 7 and the 9/11 disaster in general) and was surprised to discover that the Kansas City disaster was the biggest structural steel failure, in terms of loss of life, until 9/11! I wonder what engineering students have to study now when the facts about 9/11 are so unclear and decidedly incorrect in the government version that NIST released. Why can't we get a proper investigation into these events that addresses the real facts presented to us, like free fall collapse through path of greatest resistance. It's nonsense that the government would even have high school students believe such stuff, let alone advanced university engineering students. Please include my name in your petition. I think the victims of this disaster and the subsequent victims (both US soldiers and Iraqi citizens and US citizens in general) deserve the truth.
I was shocked to see the scientific facts that Mr. Gage presented regarding the collapse of WTC 7. It should be obvious even to laypeople that the collapse was a controlled demolition. Even newscasters of the day reported they thought that was what they were seeing. Why is the government hiding the truth from us? It is obvious that explosives, at the very least, were used; more than likely, based on the finding of the microspheres of iron in the dust, the incendiary thermite was used. I am not a 'truther' or kookspiracist. I simply have an engineering background and am amazed that people who see Mr. Gage's presentations would think that he is making things up: that the laws of physics took a break on that September day. I now think and feel so differently about our government and even about agencies like NIST and the ASCE that have failed the engineering community on this incident. Why didn't these agencies explain the obvious fallacies and discrepancies present in those events? I feel betrayed by our government. I also feel a deep sense of distrust for such agencies that have the responsibility to protect the general public by providing unbiased and truthful investigations into incidents that harm and kill us citizens. I remember studying the Kansas City Hyatt disaster in engineering school. We were taught about the consequences of negligence in our work as engineers, how loss of life and property can occur as a result of poor work on our part as engineers. How can current day engineering students look at 9/11 and learn anything when so many paradoxes and controversies surround it? Our government needs to reopen the investigation and find out what really happened. So many lives have been lost and continue to be lost as a result of the rash decisions and outcomes based on what was perceived to have happened, most of which is unsubstantiated by facts and scientific laws that must not be disregarded. I wholeheartedly support Mr. Gage's movement to get a new investigation, and I hope he is able to achieve what he has set out to do: reveal the truth.

It looked like controlled demolition. Being from Vegas I've seen many implosions and this looked same.

I was born in Ohio in 1953. I remember the recurring news videos on TV, saying today they razed the old bank building in Akron, later the old office building in Canton. The report stated them all to be controlled demolitions, and described what that meant. All the videos looked the same: several explosions in various corners, then each building fell straight down in a neat pile. News videos of other buildings harmed by water, wind, or fire never once showed them to fall straight down in neat piles. So my conclusion was that only controlled demolitions cause buildings to fall straight down in neat piles.
When I saw on TV on September 11, 2001 the video footage of the first WTC building falling straight down into a neat pile, it looked exactly like all those controlled demolitions I had seen on TV as a young person. The second WTC building falling video doubled that affirmative recognition. The third WTC building falling video tripled the recognition of the fact that the 3 WTC buildings falling, all looked exactly like the many controlled demolition videos I had watched in the 1950's and 1960's. Certainly there are millions of persons besides myself who also grew up watching these dozens of videos of controlled demolitions and can recognize the 911 collapses as identical to those controlled demolitions. This fact gives me hope that we millions can add our voices to help bring the majority of Americans to recognize the one and only way possible that the 3 WTC buildings were caused to fall straight down in neat piles.

Never took notice until I see the video of WT7 being demolished. A comparison to that video and a video of controlled demolition has change my whole view on this world. (WT7 clearly controlled demolition) Now I question everything and what truth is being hidden dose not shock me anymore. People in power are psychopaths! and media and corporate brainwashing is there most powerful tool.

Steel frame buildings cannot globally colapse at free fall speed from burnig jet fuel. The top 20% of the building couldn't possibly colapse the lower 80% without some type of sophisticated controlled demolition.

I watched in real-time, on Mainstream Media, the collapse of one of the World Trade Centers. I'm not an architect or a structural engineer, but I can certainly tell that the Tower fell as if it was a planned demolition. No building built with that amount of structural steel, beams, etc. would fall the way it did from a plane smashing into it. Common sense prevails.
