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.

My first doubts about the official story began when I read the heavily documented The War on Freedom by Nafeez Massadaq Ahmed, listing all the public records of warnings to the US government. I was especially alarmed by the fact that standard operating procedure to dispatch fighter planes against a high-jacked plane had been violated. The technical evidence presented since then certainly warrants a full and honest investigation. I know several people in NYC were trying to initiate a suit to open such an investigation in the spring of '07, but have heard no more about their effort.

2 aircraft hit 2 buildings and 3 buildings collapse. WOW! 3 buildings collapse at free fall speed, but there were only 2 aircraft. WOW! Pancaking would take much longer to collapse WTC1&2 and the rubble pile would be much higher. The basements had to be cleared in order to take the volume of the material. WTC7 did not pancake, as seen from the footage this was controlled demolition as confirmed by the landlord.

My name is Kevin W. Snedeker and was born, October 12th, 1985. I've been trying to figure out how things work since I can remember. In my Senior year of High school, an internship program gave students a chance to get out of classes for 8 weeks, 4 days a week to try and pursue what they believe would be a potential career option corresponding with the future college major. I chose to work at a Structural Design and Consultation Firm, and have been back every summer since. Once I graduated, I was given a full time position. Only when I began commuting regularly did I realize the impact on 9/11. I found out I, an American citizen, could no longer walk through a subway with a gym bag without being searched, despite LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE. This prompted me to understand why our constitution (bill of rights) was taking a back seat all of a sudden. The excuse that I kept hearing from officers was/it's security, well since when were we so insecure? i said, Since 9/11. Then began my research, and realized all the acts attempting to cover up the scientific facts that are common to me and my colleagues. Now, I'm trying to do as much as i can to inform as many people of the truth as possible.
The bottom line is the physics do not lie. All three towers (North, South and Tower 7) as per accounts on various independent studies, such as Richard Gage's or the documentary in-plane site fell at near free-fall speed, uniformly descending. This simply would not happen regarding the impact damage of the two planes and the fires in all three structures. Obviously, a plane impacting one side of a the towers won't do uniform damage to the structural frame. If a frame is not uniformly failing then frame would not uniformly fall. Structural members, especially steel members, would provide resistance in some areas creating a toppling effect. Further more, no steel frame structure has ever failed due to fire yet, official conclusions blame all three collapses on fire fueled by nothing more then office supplies when a good amount of explosive experts are on-record stating 95% of the jet fuel would have be combusted upon impact. It's plane false.

In 1995, I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Math minor). Since then, I have worked in the computer industry for over 12 years. I'm an experienced programmer and professional network and system administrator.
There are many inconsistencies between the official explanation and the facts. Here are some observations. 1) The lateral ejection of 20 ton steel beams hundreds of feet from a building--some reportedly in clean even lengths. 2) The beams were ejected in absolutely symmetrical patterns. (see http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/mushrooming.html) 3) The manner and speed of collapse were suspect. WTC1, WTC2, & WTC7 did not topple over as you might expect from a building weakened unevenly due to fire. 4) The mass of a fully loaded 767 with fuel would be less than 1/10 of one percent of the above-ground mass of one of the twin towers. 5) A variety of dust samples have proven the existence of iron-rich microspheres commonly produced by thermate reactions (explosives). In fact, the existence of these spheres has even been documented by the government. Some people may say that it is not likely or highly improbable for the trade center towers to have been wired with explosives due to the difficulty involved. This reasoning is used to dismiss any possibility of this scenario actually having occurred without considering the real evidence. Please find out the facts yourself. Don't let the so-called 'experts' (PhD or otherwise) and network television make up your mind for you. Attempt to understand and evaluate them yourself. Do your best to critically evaluate their statements to understand who has credibility and who doesn't. It is very important to consult experts, in print and on video, but do not let them make up your mind for you. Find out who is trustworthy and well-grounded in scientific principles, such as the founder of this group, Richard Gage and many others in the truth movement. Thank you.

Controlled demolition is the only scientifically plausible explanation of the collapses of the three buildings. Recall that in 1945 a 10-ton U.S. B-25 bomber hit the 79th floor of the much older Empire State Building. The building remained and remains fully intact though 3 crew members and 11 office workkers died. The 9-11 investigations were scientifically shoddy and much important evidence was prematurely disposed of. A fresh and unbiased investigation is urgently required of this, our new Pearl Harbor.

I have seen many accidents and crashes of military and civil aircrafts. In cases of a crash, you always can see the side rudder and elevators from the tail, the engines, and the hull of the aircraft. A civil aircraft would not completely disappear, neither in a black hole, nor in a building like the World Trade Center. I believe in God, but not in this fake of the CIA!

I have worked as a downhole completion specialist in the oil and gas industry as well as a petroleum engineering consultant. Currently I work in product development.
I watched the event on live TV. The loss of life and impact on society was staggering to say the least. However, the extent of the investigation did not match the magnitude of the event. The scientific method was not applied. All possibilities were not examined thoroughly. The final report was not peer reviewed. The final report should have been vetted by other independent scientists, engineers etc. Any scientific professional should be appalled by the blatant disregard for the code of ethics and conduct. It challenges the integrity of our profession as a whole. It is our responsibility as scientific professionals to stand up for the integrity of our profession. It is our duty to keep the public safe by using sound scientific and engineering practices. We owe it to ourselves and most of all we owe it to the public, especially the victims and their families, to conduct a detailed and thorough investigation into the destruction of WTC 1,2 and 7.

Currently retired after 40+ years in mechanical design, test/evaluation and management. I have had some experience in explosive identification and tagging at a national laboratory as well as weapons designs.
Real time observations on September 11, 2001 of the collapse of each of the twin towers, as provided by the national TV networks, led me to the same conclusion: controlled demolitions. Subsequent analysis, as found on the internet and in various publications released by non-government entities, have clearly demonstrated the validity of that conclusion for each of the three towers. The problem at hand is to achieve a government sponsored study that is truthful and fact based; education of the US population and electing a legislature that is reponsive to the US population is important though problematic.

Retired, after 42 years as an engineer, CEO of a middle sized company in France, loudly experimented in pre-stressed concrete application. With building, bridges and various construction. Well aware with calculation of steel frame and mechanical characteristics of various materials.
Extremely ashamed, because of my follow up of TV comments at first, despite of my own logic. Glad to see all the refusal of non scientific official version of the collapses. Anxious to received a realistic explanation given by independent and duly accredited organization. Also a bit desperate to see the strength of images transmitted with first comments.

I am a Microsoft Systems Engineer. Have been since 2000. Was a Firefighter and Paramedic for over 22 years.
While a Firefighter and a Paramedic I saw numerous buildings collapse. none were steel frame. I was at the Philadelphia Meridian Fire in 1991. 3 of my fellow Firefighters died in that building. 2 of whom I personally knew. While I did not know the third Firefighter, he was my brother. Saddened to the core by the loss of 3 Firefighters? I cannot imagine losing 343 as did my FDNY brothers did on 9/11. As a former Firefighter I can assure you that no one, not one, of the Firefighters present at the Meridian Building fire thought that building was going to collapse. Falling debris from the engulfed floors was a worry, but not the building coming down. I can also assure you that those FDNY Firefighters didn't ever in their wildest imaginations imagine those towers coming down. Brave men and women, but not kamikazes or suicidal. They knew the buildings were not coming down due to fire. Initial command post was in the lobby of the first tower struck. Obviously they saw the damage in the lobby, but the reason for that could be ascertained later. The job at hand was to rescue people and put out the fire. Some of the brightest and most educated Firefighters set up that command post. They are promoted after written testing and verbal scenario knowledge to Fire Chief. In fact there was one Chief on the 78th floor who radioed that he needed 2 hoselines to put out the fire. That tells me that rescue was no longer needed at his level of the building and it also tells me that the fires were not all that great. That Chief and 342 other Firefighters did not know that they were set up to die. I will admit that when I witnessed the towers collapse on 9/11 (on TV), I was in a funk as to why they collapsed. Believe it or not, I attributed the collapses to how perfectly the Architects planned and constructed those towers. As if the perfect collapse was also their design

So many of our beliefs are given to us -- and never questioned. And many of these beliefs are myths. And many of these myths are not useful. We need to begin to wake up! At some point, our cognitive dissonance no longer allows us to not question our myths. The 9/11 myth, unfortunately, strikes me as another obvious forgery. While this is only one of the myths we need to abandon, it is, to me, a smoking gun. Our nation, and our decisions, need to be based upon an open analysis of data with integrity -- not myths. Ultimately, can a nation or people that places myth before truth be successful?

I wrote a simulation of the towers collapse and convinced myself that the laws of conservation of momentum would not allow the buildings to collapse in the manner described, and that the only alternative that I could ascertain was that the buldings required charges to fall with the speed observed.

Did everyone miss the 3rd building collapse? Steel made molten by burning jet fuel dripping off the side of building? Thermite? Columns cut with clean distinctive angle by what plane wing, god? There appears to be a flaw in the currently held expert opinion of the buildings collapse, the argument that exploding/burning jet fuel (glorified kerosene) can melt steel is absurd. And how exactly did WTC 7 collapse, just wanting to be like the other towers. WTC 7 defied all physical laws end of story. And how do commercial planes get lost for an hour? I thought we had the FAA handling that.

Once I turned my attention to Building 7 and how it was certainly brought down, I searched for more evidence and clues. The amount of information available (but being suppressed by the Major Media) is staggering; evidence which proves the attacks on Sept. 11th were a greater conspiracy than the public was being told. It's sickening (literally) to become aware (as I have) that this False Flag operation was conducted by groups within our own government. When one realizes how the public has been manipulated in this manner as a pretext to enter the Middle East region, the filters on our perceptions become clearer. The Truth is available to everyone if we are willing to look at it and see it for what it really is. We were misled from the very beginning...

I was born in a refugee camp in Germany shortly after WWII. My father was a Serbian POW in a Nazi Stalag prison camp. My mother was a nurse in the Int Red Cross. Nearly 30 members of my family were killed by the Nazis and Communists. I learned much about the rise of fascism. Also, I learned how the masses can be easily manipulated and brainwashed. Americans have empowered the Bush regime just as Germans empowered Adolph Hitler. Germans used the burning of the Reichstag as an excuse for aggression & totalitarianism. The Bush regime used the events of 9/11 as an excuse for aggression and the disintegration of the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights & loss of freedom.
It is impossible for a high rise to collapse at free-fall speed on its own footprint without the use of controlled demolitions. We know the primary people who are not allowing the investigation. Who is ordering mainstream media to avoid coverage of the unexplained facts of 9/11?

Retired Military. Was a senior personnel and administrative supervisor in various military assignments several continental US and overseas with a wide range of mission responsibilities which would doubtfully be of interest to any reader.
Experts explaining the so called collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings were explaining the reasons for the buildings falling immediately following their collapse at freefall speed. The holes alleged to have been from aircraft were not sufficient to bring buildings 1 & 2 down, and the black smoke fires did not appear to be hot enough or fires large enough to sufficiently soften structural steel, and as well, the surviving emergency workers in very many instances reported both only small pockets of fire that could easily be put out as well as flashes and explosions just prior and during the so called collapse. I personally doubt that there were any hijackers on board and of the airliners that were said to have been hijacked. During the Vietnam war it was my job to process and insure proper identity to all deceased that were processed by the US Army Mortuary, DaNang, Vietnam. We occasionally had to handle the deceased that were killed as a result of Aircraft, and at least once that of a large Airliner. The first evidence always needed was a manifest listing all on board. I was at that time assured that the FAA required that all flights had to have the names of all on board, passengers and crew, as a matter of procedure prior to takeoff. I am sure that that requirement is still in effect. Why were the passengers not identified on the flight manifests? It is a very basic and necessary requirement that would be rigidly enforced in a more modern time as today where there is an even more crowded sky than 1968-72.

It's glaringly obvious that the 9/11 Commission Report was a white-wash. I also received my first lessons on the 9/11 cover-up by David Ray Griffin. I wasn't hip to the whole explosives theory though UNTIL I watched the power-point presentation and the other videos of Mr. Gage on this site. I couldn't get over the magnitude of such an operation (placing thousands of charges) but, as Mr. Gage points out, you have to look at the evidence FIRST. I witnessed lateral ejections of metal and glass at the beginning of collapse but, it didn't send up any flags at the time because I'm not a C.D. expert.

I guess the governments efforts to create a poor educational system is working. People actually think jet fueled fire can melt steel and burns for weeks. It is also amazing how the US government has become so corrupt due to greed of a few wealthy people who think they can rule the world!

I'm a lifelong resident of HI, but have a brother who viewed the whole incident from several blocks away. The fact that the truths of this world may be completely different than the reality I perceive bothers me and I am always seeking a little more enlightenment. Life is good in paradise, but the truth, however difficult to swallow, will always lead to better educated decisions and hopefully a better world for future generations.
The slide show clearly details questions that need to be answered. This event has become a critical component of our world view and our country's perception of its role in the world and the future of billions of human beings. It is too important an issue to leave this many unanswered questions. We need a non partisan and, hopefully, non governmental examination coordinated by boards and licensing bodies with the technical expertise to analyze the events thoroughly.

From the evidence I have seen it must be an inside job done with explosives.

Structural steel cannot be melted in an open air fire using hydrocarbon fuels. WTC 1, 2, and 7 could not have collapsed at a free fall rate without the aid of sequenced explosives and a demolition team. No serious argument to explain the collapse of these structures has been put forward by any city, state, or federal government agency.

There is no way to fool Isaac Newton and he will be called as witness in the trial to come. The NIST report on the towers does not deal with the collapse, cf. footnote 13 on page 82 in the summary.

I have worked in pharmaceutical industry regulatory affairs and as an instrument technician and Metrologist/Calibrationist of laboratory instruments. I currently produce a drug known as F-18 FDG, a radioisotope tracer used for diagnosis of cancers and tumors and observation of abnormal tissue. This is the primary agent used for PET imaging of humans and saves countless lives.
Anyone who thinks analytically in the slightest and has played with blocks as a child or even piled stones into a cairn knows that constructs never collapse in identical fashion unless they are built to do so and collapsed in a very particular way. To believe that two of the world's tallest buildings would come down this way, like telescoping into their basements due to a side impact and fire, is either stupid or easily deceived. These buildings were demolished. Of that, I am certain. I knew it when I saw them fall and the dust cloud smothered the city, that it had been blown up. All the surviving firemen talking about secondary explosions... Caused by what? Leaking natural gas couldn't cause what they described. That means people caused the demolition. But why? I think that the documents by the group known as PNAC gives us a look at who and why. We already know how. Add to this the detail that G.W. Bush has purchased a large acreage ranch in Paraguay, a country known for its harboring of wanted former dictators and without extradition to any country. Joseph Mengele the Nazi Dr. of Death and Augusto Pinochet, and many other ranking German fugitives fleeing Nuremburg justice and banana republic despots have found safety there. If he were wanting to invest inland, why there with a reputation like it has? Because he needs a place to run if and when America learns the truth. There have been trials where people were convicted of murder based on evidence that appears very similar and a subject has motive (PNAC provides), opportunity. The PNAC signatories include Cheney and Wolfowitz, and an alarming number of other Republican leaders and presidential cabinet members. I think persons at this level could easily have something like this done. The ranch in Paraguay is like a ticket out of town and big enough for all of them and their kids. These guys also attempted to force the Taliban and the new Iraqi government to sign treaties that would have tried to force them to give or sell at reduced rates about 70% of their oil to US companies. The Taliban refused a lobbyist named Hamid Kharzaias as many as 4 times the last after being entertained at GW Bush's ranch in Crawford TX. He refused to allow us to build a pipeline from the Caspian sea region in Russia to the Persian for transit via tanker ship to USA. They had their reasons, what those were is not important. After that refusal we invaded and installed Kharzai as President of Afghanistan. You better believe he signed the pipeline agreement the first moment. If the goal was freeing folks why do they need to give us rights to heir biggest and best national resource? Why was the Taliban in Crawford and then their country invaded? Not because of Al Queda. I can believe now that Osama Bin Laden might have agreed to play Dr. Evil here for a promise he wouldn't be caught. The Iraqis have amassed billions but the PNAC folks aren't interested in that. There's far more to be had from oil in the future like control over other nations and the ability to subjugate the oil dependent nations. Add this all together and even if I've rambled something stinks to high heaven. All of this is not a coincidence and it points to George Bush, Dick Cheney, PNAC and the rest of the so-called Neocons who also have Coincidentally been linked to election fraud and other skullduggery. You believe all this is innocent? I have at least 7 other deadly lies I'd like to show you but you won't like many of them either starting with The check's in the mail. Mostly I can't print the others

Occupation: My Last Job, That I Retired From 2 Weeks
Born and brought up in Manhattan during the depression. Attended primary school in lower Manhattan, Then, at age 7, moved to Peekskill, NY, where I completed grade and high school. Worked in Peekskill and NYC for almost a year. After Pearl Harbor, volunteered into US Army, where I remained in NY and NJ. Received medical discharge, and with VA scholarship, was able to complete 2 years at University of Arizona and then NYU, where I received a B. E. E. Continued studies at NYU graduate school while I worked as a graduate assistant in the Engineering Department. Worked for 50 years in construction design in and around NYC, including several years in my own engineering business. While working, bought and converted to residential use an old, empty industrial building within Ground Zero. Moved there with my family in 1992. Retired in August, 2001, went for short vacation to Italy, and returned to my own bed on September 10, 2001, where I was awakened by the sound of the first plane crashing into the WTC.
I lived and worked in lower Manhattan before the WTC was built. I witnessed and was involved in several projects within the WTC during and after its construction. On 9/11, I was awakened by the noise of the crash of the first plane into WTC 1 and witnessed the fire and distruction caused by that event. While I was watching, the second plane hit WTC 2. My wife and I left the area by bicycle 20 minutes before the collapse of the North & South Towers, which we witnessed from 1 mile north. My house is 2 blocks from WTC 7, which collapsed several hours later. I was allowed to return to the area 1 week later. I was disturbed by the height of the debris caused by the relatively small WTC 7 compared to the smaller mound from the Twin Towers. Since then I have been following the conspiracy theories, and have found much in them to be accurate and troubling more accurate than the official government reports.

Retired Firefighter. Fought many, many fires in my career as a firefighter, including the high rise Meridian building fire in Philadelphia in 1991. The building burned for 18 hours, yet I never feared building collapse. I am more than positive that the Firefighters who died on 9/11 never suspected those buildings to collapse either.
The evidence shows the 3 buildings brought down in controlled demolitions. 9/11 commission report is a cover up also. It is well past the time to hold the criminals responsible.

WTC 7 had no logical or physical reason to collapse as it did. That event deserves an honest investigation and explanation.

Police dispatcher whose husband is a FBI certified bomb tech. I could not reconcile the initial coverage with subsequent coverage with questions I had which were in no way addressed by the 911 report, so I began sifting available data, working to eliminate that which appeared ludicrous to me. There remained a preponderance of information, much verifiable, which contradicts the official story.
The evidence presented needs to be reviewed by our national - not to mention local - officials. An actual investigation predicated on all the available evidence must be undertaken by our government, with entirely open access.

The Canadian Action Party is the only Federally Chartered Political Party in the world who has written into its constitution the necessity for a Royal Inquiry into the events of 9/11. No civil government will be serviceable and effective unless the citizenry possess and use wise techniques of guiding and controlling officeholders and public servants. The survival of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent, socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved. When crimes at the scale committed on 9-11 go unpunished then has Justice and the rule of law been undone by those in power. Justice is to nation life what faith is to religion.
