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.

No building, nor any other structure, would fall symmetrically when hit from one direction. It would tip over because of gravity. When we watched the collapse of the two towers I did not think so much about it. But when building 7 collapsed the way it did I got vey suspicious. Good to see that some colleagues have discovered the conspiracy.

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

As a 17-year veteran in the commercial real estate industry, specifically Sr./General Manager for office high-rise buildings, I have always been passionate about the properties that I represent and as such, I work closely on a day to day basis with all those who make it possible to [collectively] run a tight ship. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to work in the trenches with my team, rather than hide in the office behind reports computer. To be able to actively & extensively work within the various fields that are inherent to the development and operation of office buildings (i.e. engineering, general construction, development /re-development, architecture, fire-life-safety, security, local city & state agencies fire, and police agencies -- just to name a few), is to understand the entire operation on both a micro and a macro level. Much like horse & rider, an intimate relationship emerges between Manager & Building.
On September 10th, 2001, I resigned from my position with a prominent Real Estate firm in the Los Angeles area. The next morning I was devastated to see the events unfolding in New York. It took two months for me to secure a new position in management. The industry was at a standstill; fear had taken over and hesitation plagued building owners. I returned to work and there began my discussions with my fellow colleagues in the industry. As time went on, my questions began to increase -- maybe it was intuition at that point, but something inside said this didn't make sense. My driving concern was two fold: 1) our country appeared to be under attack; 2) the method of attack involved office buildings. I have always personified office buildings -- the people give it life (the tenants, the building staff, the visitors, etc.). It has always been my work ethic to [before all else] ensure a safe environment for everyone's sake. The building becomes your home, and the people in it become your family. The staff become sisters, brothers, children, aunts, uncles. You work hard, together, and support each other. When I heard how many people lost their lives that day including a large number of building personnel (i.e. janitorial), I became overwhelmed and nearly obsessed with NEEDING TO UNDERSTAND... I asked myself and my colleagues how such an event could have happened, and why the absence of procedural emergency evacuation. I have evacuated my buildings on minor level threats -- maybe that was excessive on my part but my ethic has always been safety first. I assure you that, if at any time in my career there happened to be an airplane occupying any part of a building i was responsible for, evacuation would be the first order. I do not care if it's inconvenient for tenants - my attitude: board meetings can wait -- SAFETY FIRST. The more me and my colleagues (which consisted of other managers, VPs, Chief engineers, project managers, security personnel, developers, architects, GCs, demo-crews, FLS installers, members of LAPD & LAFD, and the list goes on.....) reviewed the plethora of footage of the actual collapse the more we concluded something was wrong with the picture. That was when my I became 100% obsessed with my research. I focused on the structural design aspect of the towers, and that led me to believe that complete pancaking was likely a direct result of controlled demolition, not jet fuel. I have raised the question of the [reportedly] unusual building operations in the weeks leading up to 9/11 - for example the timing of Reg. 4 emergency evacuation drill, incomplete contractor /vendor signature logs during the elevator mod project -- a front project to allow hoist-way access to controlled demolition crew(s). Truth and Understanding, I hope, will come to us by legal process. Thank you for this.

Features of the collapse and remaining evidence prove that the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolition. Media censorship and disinformation employed to conceal this fact from the general public match the practice once used east of the Iron Curtain. Likewise, the counterintelligence tactics used against researchers, against 9-11 Truth groups, and on the web, match what has become infamous as 'Zersetzung', used by the former East German Stasi.

In my opinion there is absolutely no doubt that all three buildings, WTC 1, 2 and 7 were destroyed via controlled demolitions, I am not an expert of any sort, nor do I pretend to be such, but I've seen plenty of examples of building demolitions and I know the basics of the Laws of Physics. I can also spot anomalies all throughout the entire event that beg for an investigation; but instead what the world received was a

If controlled demolition, super-thermite, was used to bring down these three towers, is it not possible the aircraft used were drones and not the commercial aircraft we were told. We are going to have to address this eventually.

While I am NOT an architect. I am an astute forensic behaviorist, as well as clairvoyant and clairaudient. Truth rings true if one listens to choice of words, body language, and tone of voice and observes behavior. GWB at the scene of the WTC did not behave, talk or have the body language of a man in shock at a horrible crime--i.e. terrorist attack. His behavior, choice of words and body language was clearly that of a man who believed he had succeeded (maybe for the first time) in accomplishing a goal. He was flamboyant, cocky and arrogant. Gov. Pataki and Mayor Guiliani were clearly devastated.

I am 57 years old. I have owned a small construction business my entire adult life. I am familiar with the elementary processes of engineering , construction and demolition. The way in which these buildings were brought down is unmistakeably professional demolition. Trying to argue that point is beyond the realm of conscious reality.
The collapse of these buildings was unmistakably caused as a result of a high end professional demolition job . I can't find another logical explanation!

I have extensive experience with gas turbines, aka jet engines burning No 2 distillate fuel (essentially JP4) and never to my knowledge has an un-contained (open) fuel fire ever burned at over 800- 1000 degrees F. Only in a contained combustion burner with compressed air and atomized fuel can we attain temperatures high enough to soften steel (> 1800 degrees F). There is no explanation for an open fire causing steel structural failure.

Where there's smoke, there's fire & it's time for truth. Among many points of argument concerning the atrocity of 911, building 7's collapse, to me is most dubious. I saw a seeming credible video from BBC news reporting it's collapse prior to the actual free fall in it's print, of what appeared, to even me a layman, to be a controlled demolition. I could go on & on with other points, proving it all doesn't add up. I also wonder if it's true that certain people affiliated and/or related to Osama Bin Laden were flown out of our country directly afterward, when there was a no fly order for the rest of US? As American citizens, we know we have the right to get to the bottom of this. We expect truth & justice will prevail.

Alex Wright is primarily an argument scholar with a MA in Rhetorical Criticism, yet studying argument and discursive interaction leads one into other relevant areas of analysis, especially when arguments contain technical information from the spheres of the hard sciences.
As mentioned in the bio, I am not an Engineer or Architect, yet I am an argument scholar. The egregious discrepancies regarding the destruction of the WTC complex between the works of Richard Gage, Frank Legge, Kevin Ryan, Gordon Ross etc. and all three of the NIST reports (2005, 2006, 2008) and the 9/11 Commission Report warrants serious critical attention by the masses.

My background is in sales and promotion of commercial construction materials, specifically concrete. I call on architects and engineers regularly as a technical resource. I understand how materials and building systems work so that I can advise my clients on the best solutions for their construction issues. I am also a professional educator which gives me expertise in how people learn and assimilate technical information and how opinions are formed.
There is no doubt in my mind that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings in New York on 9/11/01. The next challenge for America is to demand a real investigation into all the events of that day. Hopefully this scientific investigation without bias and government intervention will identify the actual causes of the demolitions and other acts of destruction.

I've worked as a writer and editor for over 10 years, including positions at mainstream daily newspapers and community journals. I've written several stories about issues relating to 9/11. Due to my research, I do not believe the towers fell the way the U.S. government claims.
I have viewed a lot of footage regarding Sept. 11, 2001, and the series of events really does not seem to add up. Steel buildings do not disintegrate from a strike, even if you add jet fuel. And there's been no justifiable explanation given for the WTC 7's collapse. I, along with thousands of other concerned citizens, call for a re-investigation of the events. This should be done by a true and impartial team of experts who have no governmental ties or agendas.

My first love was Architecture, and had hours of training and certificates for Mechanical Drawing and CAD from the 1980s, as well as training and certificates for Audio Engineering and Studio Maintenance, and worked since High School in Pro Sound and Audio Visual industries. Upon completion of my Associate degree in Electronics, I went to work for over a decade in Wireless Communications and Networks Manufacturing.
My first undergraduate program of study was Architecture in the mid-1980s with the University of West Virginia, but switched to Drafting with Carver Career Center in Charleston. Ironically, my first two areas of intense personal study were outrigger skyscrapers (WTC Towers) and underground construction (Bunkers). As I recall, the history of the term pancake goes back to the 1940s or 1950s in relation to SEISMIC studies of the performance of concrete and reinforced concrete buildings and was a descriptive term of the visible RESULT of collapses, NOT a MODE OF FAILURE. I knew then that the first explanation was pure propaganda, not scientific inquiry, and likely originated from some uninformed military source, not an educated civilian expert; especially since the means of destruction were different between the Towers and Building 7. The two WTC Towers were controlled explosions and WTC 7 was a classic implosion. In short, the evidence at hand convinced me that WTC 7 was a defacto standard controlled demolition, but that the towers were experimental silo demolitions; the most damning evidence being that the second tower struck was the first to fall in less than an hour. These [outrigger] skyscrapers are built to share the load between their cores and external frames, and any mode of total failure or progressive collapse begins with destroying both the core and frame on more than one side of either tower, and had the catalyst been any combination of plane crashes and office fires exclusively it would have taken several days to sufficiently weaken the towers (we know it wasn't plane crashes alone since the towers absorbed the crash inertias and redistributed their structural loads). Instead it was mere minutes. Some type of explosives and accelerants must have been used to account for the additional energies needed to trigger and to MAINTAIN the silo type collapses of the WTC towers. Lastly, it's funny how investigators who are Architects or Engineers are derided as not being Demolition Experts, but Demolition Experts with civilian or military experience are dismissed as not being Engineering or Architectural Ph.D.s (among internet message board discussions and other venues). The red-herring being that it assumed that the real perpetrators would have had to have had extensive knowledge of both fields to pull off these demolitions; the reality being that the 19 alleged hijackers had neither. Two planes, three different collapses. A child can do that math.

I have never believed in the official story . After researching for the past 3 or 4 years , it still amazes me that the u.s government ( and maybe others ) have got away with not answering any questions about this sickening mass murder . I don't think one needs to be an engineer or an architect ( and i don't mean any ignorance in that ) but any normal person should recognize a burning building to one that has obviously been brought down controlled demolition . After watching your video , i think the world would drastically change their minds and totally shocked by the evidence you have uncovered . I can only applaud you for your thorough investigation .

I am a journalist. I graduated from Auckland University in 1985 with a Master of Science (Hons) in neuropsychology/clinical neuropsychology and zoology. I initially learnt that the official story of 9/11 was a fraud from watching the documentaries: '9/11: The Road To Tyranny,' by Alex Jones and 'Confronting The Evidence.' In order to compensate for the lack of real information in the mainstream media about 9/11, I have written about the events and people related to 9/11 for publication and have contributed to Internet forums regularly, supplying information which strengthens the case to show that the official story is a hoax. I currently post 9/11-related information on my website also: Web of Evidence: What They Don't Want You To Know.
There was substantial evidence to show that thermite was used to bring down the Towers, not only as they were collapsing, but afterwords also. For example, shortly before the South Tower collapsed, molten metal was seen pouring out of the building near the 81st floor. Plus, in the aftermath of the collapses there were signs of an explosive material having been used, as explosions were occurring in the rubble, and there were fires that could not be put out with water. The nano-thermite that was located and estimated to comprise about 0.1% of the weight of the WTC dust by Neils Harrit et al, has helped to close the net on the real suspects. One thing is for certain, this composite was far too advanced a material to have emanated from the bowels of a cave.

I've been into how things work since I was young. I've built small things. When I got to HS I got into drafting, metal shop, fixing computers, chem 2 and physics. After HS I got into College where one of my classes was physics. I know that no matter what failed things will not free fall like they did.
Most people didn't hear about the side step explosions and hr before the planes were even close. All the people that were involved in building and maintenance of the buildings were swept under the carpet.

See wtholmes.com for everything you may want to know about me. The only reason I got a degree in aeronautical engineering was because I thought if I could design an aircraft structure, I could design anything. I was asked by the Architecture Department to become an architectural structural engineer, because members of the department were impressed with my design and construction of a cable-supported kiosk (intersecting double arrows for Aero Royal part of Poly Royal family event). My interest in architecture and structural engineering continued despite my aeronautical engineering career.
No question of demolition. See voluntarysociety.org/conditioning/conspiracy/, where you'll find a chronology of U.S. false flag events and Tower profitability information. Also there is documentation of Tower bi-metallic corrosion, and a demand by the EPA that Towers 1 and 2 be disassembled by 2007 rather than demolished. Disassembly was prohibitively expensive. Corroborating evidence of this is needed. Is it possible that every tall building is wired for demolition to avoid toppling due to an earthquake or bomb, and in the case of the Towers, the buildings were demolished to avoid collateral property damage the moment they started to topple, despite being occupied? Building 7 would argue against that.

I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

As a toolmaker in research and development; I am fairly well grounded in metallurgy and the various disciplines involved such as strength of materials as applied to various alloys, heat treatment and fabrication including the use of heat in forming various steel alloys, with 35 years experience.
When I saw the first video of the towers in free fall; I knew from day one that the spin put on 911 was not what I saw with my own eyes. The thought that it was another Pearl Harbor quickly became evident. As a self taught student in the dark history of our country and your excellent presentation: if there was a shadow of a doubt about 911, The light of truth has illuminated every conceivable recess! 911 was, indeed: AN INSIDE JOB. The fires were too localized and oxygen starved, as evidenced by the thick black smoke to have been hot enough or long lived enough to even start any deformation of the structural steel, which was generously coated with asbestos. There are reports of cables being run to upgrade the internet services in the building on unoccupied floors. People working on floors below this work reported a fine white dust all over the office furniture on Mondays following the weekend. My assumption is: the dust was asbestos that had been removed from columns so thermite charges could be placed on bare steel. If memory serves me: I think it was around the 83rd floor of one of the towers where this dust was found.

Born in Denver, Colorado in 1954; I earned a bachelor's degree at Metro state college there in 1984--the head of the broadcasting department emphasized the problem of propaganda in mass media. I am interested in patterns of U.S. News media. Explication of events and circumstances like the wtc destruction.
at the time, the 9/11/01 incident in Manhattan seemed so orchestrated; I'm grateful to see that logic being pursued still. I would appreciate information on how to display the Richard Gage dvd publicly. thanks much for the lucid effort.

I am a student at Mt. Hood Community College (Gresham OR), focusing on social sciences without a definite major in mind. I was fascinated with physics in high school and constantly try to keep up with advances in the field. I'm excited about CERN and my conception of god is based in quantum physics. I still remember F=MA, and that is enough knowledge to grasp the pile drive problem. I am 21 years young.
I've never watched an object, any object, fall through a much larger greatly more massive, upright, stable, structurally zealous object - composed primarily of steel and concrete - at near free-fall velocity, and come to the ground in massive clouds of dust. The underlying theme of the collapses, w/r/t the theories set forth by investigating agencies, is that of crushing; it is not that of annihilation, which is what we have all witnessed, countless times. Critical analysis is the only skill necessary to notice the discrepancies between official fact, and the findings of genuine, caring, and bold individuals concerned with that elusive thing we identify as truth.

I accepted the official story until I watched the footage of Building 7 collapsing. Nothing anyone told me could change my mind. It was the visual of the very obvious controlled destruction that woke me up. When people ask me what I believe about 9/11 I tell them that I don't believe anything, I suspect things. Belief being a black and white decision while suspicion involves a scale of possibilities. My suspicion is very far toward the positive that 9/11 was a False Flag, self inflicted wound, perpetrated by elements within our own government. I am ready to hear more about what this means. You don't have to prove it to me anymore.

I am so grateful for the research and findings that have finally enabled us to explain what really happened in NYC at the WTC on September 11, 2001. We may never know the whole story but we have a great foundation for demanding an independent investigation with powers to prosecute the individuals involved. Thank you so much AE911Truth and especially Richard Gage.

My career after obtaining my engineering degree has been spent largely in engineering support roles, such as software integration testing and then technical writing.
If the official government coincidence theory about 9/11 were true and 19 Muslim hijackers were the sole cause of the destruction observed, then we should all convert to Islam, because they proved the POWER of Allah not just in gaining control of four aircraft and circumventing standard operating procedures on the ground that should have intercepted their flights, but also in breaking the rules of physics in heating and weakening steel, in uniformly collapsing the structure through the path of most resistance at near free fall speeds, and in pulverizing the structures and content into fine powder, a huge energy sink in and of itself well beyond what conservation of energy of the falling mass would suggest.
