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 35 years experience in instrumentation supporting structural testing. I worked in aerospace for 28 years testing strength of spacecraft materials. I am still active in material testing and hold US patents for load sensors.
After viewing the building 7 collapse, I have to say if somebody told me that a demolition expert was reducing building 7 to rubble I would agree. The thermite connection is strong evidence that somebody orchestrated cutting the under-pinnings of building 7 and probably had the twin towers prepared for demolition.

I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with my degree in mechanical engineering (BSME)
If you take a look at the material characteristics and the melting point of the structural steel, there is a discrepancy in how the steel of the towers just gave out in the way that they did. They would not have fallen in a uniform manner because that would mean all the structural beams would've had to fatigue from the heat at the same rate. Also when looking at the aftermath you can see there are angled demolition cuts on the steal beams.

I'd like to know the truth about the 9/11 tragedy, what really transpired within, who shall be responsible for the lives lost, and when will the truth come out? Based on some technical and scientific analysts I've searched and seen on the net (testimonies and videos), it seems that the 9/11 tragedy was planned and executed almost perfectly (before, during, and after). This is evidently shown on the collapse (demolition) of Building 7 and mysterious flight 77 which allegedly hit and damaged the Pentagon. I believe everyone deserves to know the truth.

I spent some 7 years in the Mechanical Building Trade, and although my work never entailed work involving a high rise, it did entail the understanding of retrofits. I was also attending classes held by the GBCA in Philadelphia and working towards my license. I had applied to Drexel University to continue my education in the architectural engineering program, but needed to put this future goal on the back burner for more demanding family needs. I am also the parent of a US Army soldier who provided our military with a body through my own selfless service by raising my Granddaughters to meet their needs.
From the very beginning of the destruction of the twin towers, I commented to those who would listen, that I felt it was NOT a terrorist action, but an inside plot to gain access to the middle east and boost the popularity of President Bush. I had been a car buff and played with jet fuel, which I knew burned rapidly. I also knew a demolition expert that had worked for our military, who explained, How charges were set to implode a building, much as Americans had watched happen to other buildings scheduled at some point in time. Am I the only person to find the collapse and DAYS of burning odd?

I was born in London. I attended City of London School where I received a very good education. A strong emphasis was placed on science and logical thinking. I am grateful for this because it allows me to trust myself when differentiating fact from fiction. I now live in Auckland, New Zealand. I am proud to be part of the global 9/11 truth movement and I am opening the eyes of the people around me. I created a New Zealand 9/11 Truth Movement facebook group on which I post information related to the American Coup which occurred on September 11th 2001.
The idea that the twin towers collapsed at nearly free fall speed into their own footprint whilst ejecting building matter 300ft laterally because they were struck by two commercial jets defies the laws of physics. Any scientifically educated, open minded person who has looked at the evidence realizes that the official story is impossible. What is concerning is the lack of people who are willing to look at the evidence. I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way. - Thomas Jefferson We will have justice.

All 3 towers were obviously brought down by demolition experts. No planes or fires could have caused any of these. Thermite is the only possibility. This is clearly a ''false flag'' demolition, intended to blame Muslims and Osama bin Laden and to cause enough anxiety to attack Afghanistan, Iraq, as well at Iran, Libya, and N. Korea.

I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the 3 World Trade Buildings collapsed due to forces beyond the burning of jet fuel and typical building contents. We do not design undamaged buildings to free fall as in the World Trade Buildings on 9/11. There needs to be a truthful and apolitical investigation into the mechanism in the collapse of these buildings.

Due to many different facts I doubt the official explanation on the cause of the collapses of WTC building 1, 2 and 7. AE911truth.org listed a lot of undeniable facts based upon structural and physical principles, that are in conflict with the official explanations of public authorities and politicians. Some of these facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that there are not more voices in the world who express their unbelief.

Critical and doubtful of explanation of pulverization of debris from collapse. I would have expected a considerably larger debris result rather than the near-powder-like resulting debris. Critical and doubtful of impact explanation leading to a near-symmetric and controlled collapse. I would expect a much more random or toppling collapse scenario given the varying lateral forces and uncontrolled points of impact.

1) The hole in the fassade was not big enough for the named type of Boeing plane. 2) The main structure of WTC would have supported a plane crash. 3) WTC 1,2, & 7 buildings where clearly a professional demolitions, in my opinion. 4) Pentagon crash was not the officially named type of civil Boeing plane. the damages look like being caused by a hawk or some similar flying object.

After viewing several films on Youtube and Google video it has become blatantly obvious to me that the US government is withholding the truth about the collapse of the WTC buildings, and the 9/11 events in general. The actions of the US government have serious and terrifying consequences worldwide. Therefore, as a citizen of the world I feel compelled to speak up and address the leaders of the USA.

Having reviewed a great amount of the published findings associated with the 9/11 events - official and otherwise - I find myself compelled to seek a revisiting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the event in order that a more definitively exhaustive and conclusive accounting of this significant episode in the history of our country might be forthcoming. Upon much reflection I sincerely believe that to stand by and allow the 'fog of war' to interfere in the attainment of the 'truth' is 'unpatriotic' and inexcusable on my part as a taxpaying and law-abiding US Citizen and a member of the architecture profession. The 'official' accounting as rendered by the 9/11 Commission/NIST has been measured and found to be somewhat lacking as regards scope. All of the buildings, WTC 1, 2 & 7, appear to have fallen far too fast. WTC 7 was not even 'hit' and it collapsed straight down into its footprint. Dante Amato, Architect

When I first witnessed the collapse of the world trade center buildings, during September 11, I could not believe this was the result of the airplane collisions, but as the media coverage continued and the story of the collapse was explained I somewhat accepted the explanation and continued on with my life without giving much more thought to the explanation. I saw the Blueprint for Truth on PBS and it revived my desire to review my thoughts on the events of 9/11. I started also doing additional research and readings into the events of September 11 and I am convinced a new investigation needs to be conducted to reveal the actual reason for the collapse of the buildings on September 11, 2001.

My opinion about the attacks was formed a couple years after the attack itself. As time goes by and new things pop up about the WTC attack it only reinforces my own conclusion - 9/11 was an inside job and the falling of WTC 1,2 and 7 was a pre-planned demolition. The collapse of the Towers was clearly not caused by the plane crash damage, or by resulting fire damage, but by explosives installed in the buildings in advance.

Moved to Canada in 1973, back and forth but finally settled in Toronto Ontario. The day the twin towers came down I had started the first day of my Master of Urban Design degree at the University of Toronto; watched on TV as the world came to a stand-still.
First clued in to the bigger mystery of 9/11 in around 2006, when I became aware of the question of how WTC 7 could possibly have collapsed from fire alone. I write about my growing awareness..

When we do demolitions, containers for the debris cost a lot. Waste material doesn't magically disappear, as happened with the WTC towers. Physics is not an opinion. Scientific investigations are objective because the result has to be certain. The visual evidence itself proves the three WTC towers certainly did not collapse because of the fire.

Registered Architect with over 40 years experience in Resort, Master Planning, Mid and High Rise condo projects, Resort Marina / Harbors, Hotel Resorts (domestic and international), etc.I have a Diploma of Architecture from ETH Polytechnic University in Zurich, Switzerland, 1954. I passed the California State licensing exam in 1977. I have been principal architect/partner in small and mid sized firms. My experience includes many projects in the USA, but also some international master planning, design and development work in Mexico, Middle East (Saudi), Panama, and Europe. Another project was a major 1000 acres mixed use resort/custom villas development in the Caribbean on St. Kitts Island. About one half of the projects included high rise buildings in seismic zone-3.
The issue and cover-up conspiracy is amazingly obvious. It is disgusting to see the pre-meditation and 'planted' lies to justify the Mid East mayhem, the cash money flown to Iraq under the Bush-Cheney-Brenner team and clearly paid in un-counted cash (by the weight) to bribe the willing groups in Iraq.It is clear to architects and engineers of all disciplines that we are up against a major government conspiracy, possibly starting with or including the (then) president's office. Why can't a body of credible licensed professionals initiate legal action with subpoena power to testify under oath in front of the grand jury?

I did not realize that there was actually a formation of a group or organization that is stating the thoughts that I only have kept in my mind. It amazed me to think that a plane alone could actually bring down a building as these did. These ideas expressed on this site only seem too logical and obviously should be investigated if only to make the practice of architecture and related construction and building fields take heed and learn from them.

I must concur that all of the tenets of the AE911truth.org arguments for a controlled demolition of the WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7, if truthful, are all valid reasons for a more comprehensive investigation as to what actually caused the collapse of the WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 on September 11th, 2001. I would further state that simply one of these tenets would be enough for a reinvestigation of the destruction, and that, combined, they make an overwhelming case for a reinvestigation. The implications of these allegations are far reaching and disturbing. I feel it is our duty as public servants to seek truth and in this case to expose a conspiracy that threatens not only liberty and freedom but all of the lives of the inhabitants of this planet. If this is in fact the case, I am surprised you are even allowed to speak or be heard.

The video analyses provided create a serious question (if not PROOF) of a inconsistancy in what the public has been told and what actually happened. The symmetry and speed at which not just two - but 3 buildings collapsed points to controlled demolition which is not able to be accomplished without significant planning, preparation and execution. There are many inadequately answered questions.

The near free-fall collapse of these buildings, especially the office building that showed very limited damage before its collapse in its own footprint in the late afternoon, raises great questions. This is especially so, as NO OTHER TOWER anywhere in the world, except these 3, has suffered a collapse attributed solely to fire.

I am a practicing Architect with over 18 years of experience, and Owner and Principal of my own firm for the last 7 years.
I possess a background in high rise commercial Architecture, having worked on several towers in my past. In my professional opinion the collapse does not match the expected result of the structural damage suffered by the plane's impact. The tower not hit should have never collapsed as a result.

Mr. Gage raises some very compelling arguments for the possibility of a controlled demolition of Building 7 and possibly the twin towers. At a minimum, his concerns need to be addressed by an investigation into his allegations. Brushing aside these concerns only feeds the fuel of conspiracy.

I am a British architect of 25 years standing. I have studied the events of 9/11 for several years and discussed it with fellow professionals. I am not a structural engineering expert, but I do find the official explanations of what happened at both the WTC complex in NYC highly implausible.
I am concerned that the buildings collapsed too neatly and didn't topple over. I believe that controlled demolition was involved. I attended a conference where a janitor from the WTC claimed he heard explosions in the basement prior to the collapses. I cannot fathom how WTC7 could collapse due to a fire.
