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.

It didn't make sense to me that the buildings would fall at near Free-fall acceleration - straight down symmetrically. And Building 7 - right into it's footprint. If the Twin Towers collapsed they would have fallen over - not straight down due to the asymmetrical damage. This was a false flag attack - as a pretext for entry into middle east and central asia.

It is physically impossible for buildings to have collapsed in that manner due to the impact of the commercial aircraft and resulting fires. There are many eye witness testimonies of large explosions even before the airplanes allegedly hit the towers. There are simply far too many discrepancies. An international external investigation should be undertaken into the 9/11 attacks.

There are way too many unanswered questions, not the least of which is: how the hell did building 7 completely collapse neatly into its foundation with only a few fires burning on a few floors? And why was the debris which contained all of the forensic evidence hauled off and gotten rid of before independent investigation teams could do any analysis?

I worked for years as a researcher, writer, producer and director of business and government films. I also spent years as a propagandist for a number of nations around the world. I know how easy it is for governments to obfuscate the facts and bend the truth.
It is one thing to state an opinion as if it were fact; it is quite another to merely seek the truth. In this matter, I question all things and remain open to all possibilities. However, my need to know the truth about what really happened on 9/11 will probably be appeased when a sufficient number of truly qualified architects and engineers are themselves satisfied that their questions have been answered. Until then, any reasonably curious, intelligent and objective person can't help to have question marks cluttering their minds concerning the events surrounding the sudden collapse of the world trade towers.

I graduated from college and passed my Mass. state E.I.T exam in 1991. Upon graduation, I began working for a local engineering firm doing HVAC design for commercial buildings. I then moved on to performing structural analysis/ design for the same firm, and finally ended up as a manager in charge of demolition projects for a Natural Gas equipment company, where I worked for 8 years. I have since moved on to being self-employed in an unrelated field.
The buildings that fell on 9-11-01 appeared to me, to fall at near FREE FALL speed. Without performing any experiments or calculations, and just relying on pure, old fashioned common sense, this is not possible in a steel building .... even one that had the structure weakened by fire. If the Pancake theory is correct, it stands to reason the resistance that the falling mass would encounter as each floor collapsed, would slow down the fall, at least intermittently. I simply DO NOT believe the official report and would like to see a new independent investigation.

I have no confidence in the official account of the collapse of the WTC buildings. After being introduced to the possibility of an alternate explanation for their demolition earlier this year, I conducted my own research and came to the same conclusions that have been presented on this website. I am grateful for the continuing efforts of Mr. Gage and others who have the respected authority to inform the general public of these important facts as empirical evidence supporting controlled demolition of WTC1, 2 and 7.

The events of 9/11, in my opinion are with out a doubt controlled drops. I have newly come to this conclusion. Unfortunately, in the past I didn't pay much attention to the evidence. Now my full attention is on the events. I believe that anyone who really takes a look at all the evidence (especially what I've seen here) would be able to see what really happened.

I watched the news casts of the impact of the aircraft on the day of the attacks. I wondered at the time what type of steel was in the building and if the structure was sufficiently engineered to withstand such an event. Later as I watched how the first building collapsed I kept thinking This looks like a controlled demolition then when the second building fell in exactly the same way I could not accept that the collapse was caused ONLY by the aircraft and aviation fuel. I know that jet A burns at approximately 1500 to 1600 degrees as I was an airforce pilot during the Vietnam conflict. I could not imagine that the steel in those buildings would be sufficiently weakened by such a fire. After the initial report by the federal investigators was released I could not accept the findings as factual. It was several months later that I saw for the first time the collapse of building 7. This building came down in exactly the same manner as 1 and 2. That was simply too much to be believable. This must be investigated by an independent team of structural engineers, architectural engineers and demolition experts. I would suggest drawing from at least 2 or 3 other countries NOT hostile to America.

The laws of energy, force, physics, and common sense don't agree with the official explanation we were given. A&E offers well-thought out and well-researched theories that explain how these towers fell. To date, my colleagues and I have yet to find the fallacy within A&E's scientific logic. With my prior experiences inside the US military, I find that planning and executing this sort of large-scale demolition to be well within the means of any government or any well-connected organization. History has taught us many things, and the detestable idea that a group of people could perform something like this has been repeated throughout the centuries; as a consequence, with enough examination, these sorts of actions have been proven to occur time and time again. Living in the 'modern' era does not exempt us from the repetition of history.

I have read and viewed hundreds of hours of material regarding this improbable collapse and the cover-up. One must wonder what the ultimate objective might be.
The official story has neither science nor the facts on their side. They do have a lot of disinformation agents and an unquestioning, mostly compliant media. Having participated in a simulated SAC (Strategic Air Command) alert, I am alarmed by the failure to respond for 1 1/2 hours. Who can make NORAD stand down? Not Al-Qaeda...

Pretty plain to me when you can see bright orange steel pouring out in runlets, collecting in puddles for several days, sulfer in high quantity in the slag; Thermite was used to bring it down cutting the internal core structures. How else would they collapse the way they did?

I can identify with the documentary testimony of Scott Forbes, Senior Database Administrator Fiduciary Trust-2001, concerning my own military and systems analyst experience. The issues of building security, conflicting interests of building owners and investment firms are highly suspect, the need of an independent investigation is paramount. Not to mention on the day of the attack, all those in my command center expressed, accountability and execution of these attacks could not occur without the collusion of an inside intelligence resource.

I have a long history in political, peace and environmental activism. I AM NOT generally a conspiracy theorist although I do know what the human being is capable of to advance their own power or greed no matter what their ideology may be.
I was always suspicious of how the buildings went down--they simply imploded! One does not have to be an engineer to figure that out. Those buildings did a vertical slide--not a fall.

Architects and Engineers are highly trained professionals in the exhaustively evolved areas of Structural Engineering and Materials Science. Anytime a structure catastrophically fails to perform in the manner designed, there is exhaustive and meticulous examination into it's causes and how to avoid such failures in the future. The WTC collapses necessitate serious engineering flaws in all three structures, or that the collapses too were engineered. These are questions that Materials Science MUST have answered, lest other structures also be built with these same flaws.

This was a very well put together and scientific documentary. I decided to stay at work on 9/11/01 and not go home. Before hearing any personal/official opinions and just watching the footage on T.V, I was skeptical. It was very odd how the buildings came down perfectly. It was odd that such a large scale attack could just magically happen. I deem myself rational and open minded paying attention to events since 9/11 help me justify that it was a false flag operation. I learned early from the army of a need to know basis. The government that I grew up believing was serving the public has grossly has not served the public!

I find it very suspicious that the only 3 times in history that a steel framed skyscraper has collapsed due to fire, we found pools of molten metal weeks afterward and that we are supposed to believe that jet fuel caused such a massive amount of heat. The residue proves that there was thermite used, and I am proud to see a group with the intelligence and courage to examine the evidence and come to a logical conclusion for what happened to make those 3 buildings collapse so symmetrically.

The US Governments Arab Conspiracy Theory regarding 9/11 violates basic high school physics and the following Laws of Nature: 1. Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies Violated 2. Newton's First Law of Motion Violated 3. Newton's Third Law of Motion Violated 4. Laws of Thermodynamics #1 (The Law of Conservation of Energy) Violated 5. Laws of Thermodynamics #2 (The Law of Increased Entropy) Violated WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 were professionally demolished, while everyone's attention was distracted by plane impacts, which were most likely remote controlled planes. (Bush slipped up and admitted explosives were used) United Airlines Flight 93 which went down in Pennsylvania was most likely meant to strike WTC 7. This plane was actually shot down by a North Dakota Air National Guardsman who disregarded new SOP's set up by Rumsfeld and Cheney 3 months prior and used previous SOP's. (Rumsfeld slipped up and admitted this plane was shot down) Pentagon damage is most definitely that of a precise missile strike. (9/11 Commissioner Tim Roemer slipped up and admitted a missile hit Pentagon)

I don't believe the little bit of jet fuel that exploded in the Trade Centers even came close to that kind of heat. I believe the real scientists, not the gov't.
The plane that hit the second Tower was very close to the edge of the building, similar to an undercut directing the felling of a tree. Why did the Tower collapse straight down, top to bottom. The top should have fallen one direction or another, but not straight down, under the circumstances.

BS in Mechanical Engineering (honors) with a focus on machine design, and a MS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on control systems. Between degrees I served in the US Army as a combat engineer with bridge construction and structure demolition training. I've designed and built my own octagonal house.
Among the most convincing bits of evidence supporting the controlled demolition hypothesis are the free fall collapse speeds, the evidence of thermite, and the collapse scenario matching known controlled demolitions. I suspect the 1993 al Qaeda attempt to tree-topple one tower prompted the cautionary, necessarily covert installation of the controlled demolition systems to allow vertical collapse should the next al Qaeda tree-topple attempt be successful. This would avoid huge damage to numerous neighboring buildings, holding many thousands of people. Using the system was unnecessary here.

I find it troubling that there are obvious melt signatures around some of the steel support columns of both WTC towers- although I realize that when a beam or column fractures under shear loadings the fracture is usually on a 45degree angle such as depicted in numerous photos of these columns, I can think of no mechanism by which they would melt at the point of fracture due to stress alone. Rather, from decades of experience, I would say that the only time I've ever seen anything remotely like the results in those photos is when shaped charges and/or thermite devices have been used.

I have done some research and with my background I am 100% sure the whole 9/11 tragedy is an extremely elaborate Government scheme. I think the Towers were brought down by explosives, the Pentagon was hit by a cruise missile and the Shanksville acft. was shot down by our Air force. It sickens me to think that our Government is that diabolically greedy. but that's what the facts show.

I have seen videos of the collapse of the twin towers and also of building number seven. The collapse of the buildings looked like demolition jobs. The buildings practically collapsed in their own footprints! Also, how is it possible that building number seven needed to be demolished from collateral damage taken from the towers while buildings closer to the twin towers were hardly damaged?

During this time I did assignments throughout the Nellis/Tonopah Range sites which included the real Area 51 and it assets throughout the United States. Numinous R&D projects and assignments involving controlled demolitions, bomb tests, before and after documentations of explosives-delivery devices on structures; aircraft crashed, both real-world, and controlled; static, controlled building demolitions tests, etc, etc, etc. I then retired after the Gulf War in 1991.
From my experience I know without a doubt that aircraft impacts could only have done critical, but survivable damage to the towers--they were built specifically to survive such an impact. The fuel was expended during the initial 15-to-30 minutes after the crashes--you can tell from the bellowing smoke--the flames were not hot enough to melt the superstructure (another design necessity). These buildings were Pulled using controlled, sequential, compound detonations.

Science, common sense prevails. Hundreds of facts counter the government's version of 911. Hundreds of questions remain. Aninside job, i.e.,another Pearl Harbor, Tonkin Gulf, Remember the Maine, etc, is clearly evident. I have a Bronze Star for working for a 3 star general in 1969 in Saigon while scheduling (called fragging) multiple air strikes into Cambodia while Nixon was saying we were not striking Cambodia.

Obviously demolitions. The ridiculous free-fall collapse of the twin towers resulting in the pulverization of most of the debris. These and hundreds of other glaring details do not point to the official story.
