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.

In addition to studying Mechanical Engineering as an undergraduate at Boise State University, I also held several officer positions within student-professional organizations including Society for Women Engineers, American Society for Mechanical Engineers and the Materials Research Society. I received my B.S.M.E. on May 15, 2004. I received my Engineer-in-Training certification on December 21, 2006.
"The morning of September 11, 2001, I watched the second tower fall live on television as I prepared to leave my home and get to my junior level engineering classes. My father and I watched building after building fall that morning and each time, we echoed each others' reactions. We both said incredulously ""that looks planned, like those skyscraper demolitions."" Then my father asked me if, from an engineering perspective, if it looked normal. I explained that I was hardly an expert at structural engineering but from what I had already learned, it seemed unlikely that those building would fall completely down. I could have believed that the parts of each building above the impact point would shear off of the structure, but for the entire building to implode was, even on that hectic morning, far too much to swallow."

I received my high school diploma and graduated from St.Patrick's high school. Shortly after I started an apprenticeship with Local 95 Heat and Frost Insulators and I am currently attending my 3rd and final 6weeks of trade school which will move me from the level of apprentice to journeyman.
I highly doubt the official story about the WTC buildings for a number of reasons. 1) The fact that the buildings fell at nearly free fall speed encountering no resistance on the way down. 2) The buildings were built to withstand multiple plane impacts and the buildings still fell. 3) Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the structural steel and cause a sudden collapse. The jet fuel only has the capability of warping and bending the steel beams which in my opinion would not be enough to bring the buildings down SUDDENLY. 4) The concrete was completely pulverized suggesting the possibility of explosives being used. 5) Molten metal was seen by the first responders dripping down the steel beams like lava. Pools of molten metal were also found underneath the rubble of the towers. If a fire isn't hot enough to melt structural steel then what caused the molten metal?? Could it be some sort of an explosive? 6) Many interviews have been done with the first responders, and people who where there who said they heard explosions in the building before and during the WTC collapses. There is video evidence to prove this. Also a man named Willie Rodriguez who was a janitor in the basement levels of the towers heard explosions in the basement just a few seconds before the plane actually crashed into the building. You can find his videos online through Google or Youtube, just type in Willie Rodriguez. 7) Before 9/11 no steel framed structure has ever collapsed due to a fire. This would make the WTC buildings the 1st in history according the the commission report if it were true but I know it's not. And remember WTC building 7 was not hit by a plane and it still collapsed. 8) If the buildings collapsed by fire then why were steel beams thrown hundreds of feet away from the towers. In one case a steel beam was even lodged into a neighboring building. If it was a natural building collapse the beams would have fell straight down not across the street. The amount of force needed to throw a steel beam this far and lodge it into another building would have to great. My conclusion explosives were used. I'm not an architect. I'm not an engineer. I'm not a scientist or a physicist. I'm just an average JOE. Evidence of the truth is in plain sight and easy to understand if you are willing to open your mind. It doesn't take a great mind to see behind the lies of the commission report.

Even though killing millions of lives around the world, as well as our own service people since WWII has been no problem.

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
