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.

We have all seen scores of films of buildings being demolished by experts who have spent years developing how to do this. It doesn't take a degree in engineering to know what this looks like and how it would be different than any other event. There is a clear particular signature to a demolition. If there is something about the nature of the design and construction of these three buildings that would allow them to perform the magic trick, of the appearance of being a building demolition, than this would clearly be of prime importance to the world architectural community to figure out how this slight of hand actually occurred. Clearly, this has yet to be done.

Educated at the University of Texas at Austin(B.Arch) and at the University of Texas at San Antonio(took all the courses-57 Hours-for a M.Arch then got disgusted with the academics I had to deal with to complete my thesis...and walked) Also worked in Banking, Fire and Rescue, Drove Trucks, was in the Military.

The analyses presented by AE 911 Truth raise a significant body of scientific evidence. It indicates that the causes of the WTC building collapses have not been adequately studied to reach supportable conclusions about them. If further scientific studies should determine that controlled demolition was a real factor, the ensuing issues of 'how' and 'who' are fearsome questions.

I have over forty years' experience in HVAC. I have been involved in the commercial and industrial building industry in many facets -- manufacturing management, wholesaling management, contractor, engineering consultant, and facilities engineer.
It seemed as if the collapses were classic implosions. While not a structural engineer, my HVAC design work has necessitated basic knowledge of structures to prevent overload from chilled water piping and rooftop HVAC machinery (chillers, air handling units, package cooling units, etc.). My placement of these items required interfacing and approval of the structural P.E. of record.

I still remember watching that first TV broadcast with news of the 911 events and as if I was having an out of body experience, I sensed intuitively that we were NOT getting the straight story. And then when the camera 'conveniently' spotted the 'passport of one of the terrorists' lying in the rubble, thereby 'proving who was behind the attack', an alarm went off! That clinched it for me, and was all I needed to know that we were so obviously being lied to. Then watching Larry Silverstein 'shoot himself in the foot' when he admitted that he ordered crews to 'pull Building seven' it was nearly impossible to think that anyone out there could actually still believe the lies being told! I have the DVD that your organization produced. Not sure what more can possibly be added to that to try and convince the masses of what really happened. It's all there. It is infuriating to me that this travesty has been allowed to continue! But considering what's currently happening in Washington, it seems that the truth about anything is hard to come by! Keep fighting the good fight! ...

This horrifying event was allowed to lead to the utter destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, and abundant independent film of the double collapse (within minutes) at freefall (demolition) acceleration, offer ample proof of the urgency of impartial investigation! As a private researcher of the JFK, MLK, RFK murders, as well as a student of the Vietnam Coverups, it is clear to me that our citizens are easily (and willingly?) kept in political ignorance. That may be their own problem, but if it leads to the oppression of huge segments of the world population, then it becomes a matter of deep public concern...

There are so many factors indicating the Twin Towers and building 7 were imploded by controlled demolition, it's staggering. Plus the first responders, firefighters, EMS, Tower workers, all heard explosions. Thermate was found. Concrete was reduced to nano sized particles.

I want to know why the live footage was not re aired after it collapsed. And why were the middle support columns ignored in the pancake theory? And why was there news coverage about building 7 collapsing before it even collapsed?

Not an architect nor an engineer, but a concerned citizen who has done enough research to doubt the 9/11 Commission's findings.
When I read that Tower #7 fell the same way the North and South towers did, I wondered how that was possible when no plane flew into it. There are many other reasons to doubt official explanations. My bottom line: Innocent lives were lost; the incident was used as an excuse to go to war, where more lives have been lost and money wasted. We deserve the truth, and I am convinced we haven't heard it from our government yet.

After reviewing the evidence from AE911TRUTH I don't believe the World Trade Center buildings collapsed due to fire as they collapsed at freefall speed, straight down in their own footprint. There was also building no 7 which wasn't even hit by plane that came down later that day also at freefall speed into it's own footprint. There is also evidence to support the possible use of explosives used in the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and building no 7. I support the demand for a truly independent investigation.

Since day one and thereafter, in watching TV and DVD documentary coverage of the collapse of WTC Towers 1 & 2, and of WTC Bldg. 7, I have no doubt that the cause was controlled demolition. The official story is contrary to common sense observation.

I am a retired elementary school teacher who heard Richard Gage speak at Berkeley's Unitarian Universalist Church many years ago.
About 3 weeks after 09/11/2001 I saw a video of the collapse of building 7 at the Humanist Hall in Oakland. There were many young men present who appeared to involved in different areas of construction work. When the collapse of building seven was shown a gasp went up and I heard many whispers of 'perfect demolition!' all throughout the room. Since then I have heard many accounts by various people, including Richard Gage, of what happened on 09/11/2001. Bonnie Faulkner's radio show 'Guns and Butter' covered the topic many times. I have watched several of the videos she offered during KPFA's fund raisers including videos by Richard Gage, David Ray Griffin, and Barbara Honegger, and attended the annual 9/11 film festivals at Oakland's Grand Lake Theater.
