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.

Clearly there is NO WAY the buildings of 9-11 could have collapsed (especially at free fall) from the fires and damage they sustained. Why there has not been a total debunking of the official 'report' before now is a total mystery to me.

Since 2003, worked as a energy efficiency consultant in Belgium and Asia, till 2014 when I became a technical due diligence engineer for the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg.
The WTC destruction changed world politics and gave reasons for politicians to develop very harsh and expensive anti terrorism actions worldwide. It's important for the public to see if these policies, that had and still have very intrusive negative consequences for many world citizens, were based on genuine information and were sound decisions. The public community has the right to have doubts. It is up to authorities to provide valid and strong argumentation to counter these doubts and bring acceptance to the public.

The symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I do not believe the building would fall from the impact of an airplane alone. The lower structure is designed to retain the weight of the structure above. Wind loads alone on the building would be greater on the superstructure in the lower floors. And how could it fall so uniformly in it's own footprint? No lean and partial collapse? Very strange.

Tom Breidenbach is a poet, writer and adjunct university professor who is working on a book based on his research on 9/11. He is also a witness to a number of the events of that day, including the collapse of the North Tower as well as WTC Building Seven. From his fifth-floor walk-up East Village apartment he also heard the first plane fly over Manhattan and smash into the North Tower.
I witnessed WTC Building Seven fall on the afternoon of 9/11. Everyone in the vicinity I was in (about seven blocks north of the WTC, on the west side of the West Side Highway, just across from temporary police headquarters at Borough of Manhattan Community College) knew that the building was going to fall for perhaps twenty minutes before it did. We'd heard and passed on the rumor that they're going to bring it down and were staring expectantly at the building when it crumbled so perfectly into itself.

As an engineer (BSEE, Carnegie-Mellon University), it is my professional opinion that all three WTC towers that were destroyed on 9/11 were brought down by controlled demolitions. The evidence supporting this conclusion is abundant. The best evidence includes:' Near free fall acceleration through the path of greatest resistance.' Vertical, symmetrical fall of all three towers.' Very rapid onset of fall.' Compete destruction of all 3 WTC skyscrapers.Only controlled demolition can accomplish these four characteristics.

Did research on nano Al/FexO etc nano layers produced by physical vapor deposition for Joining applications and former student at Dartmouth. After completing his PhD formed a company to produce nano composites. It was immediately obvious from examination of dust from all three towers that nano materials were used to damage the floors after aircraft impact resulting in smoke clouds of Al2O3 + micron spherical Fe particles. Also the supporting columns were cut using nano thermite.

Some of the evidence of federal government complicity in the attacks includes the collapse of WTC-7, reports of molten steel in the basements of WTC-1&2, reports of explosions in the basements of WTC-1&2, prevention of a proper investigation of discrepancies in the government explanations, and the reasons given for non-intervention in the attacks by USAF interceptors.

From the elements presented so far, I understand the 2 main hypothesis are: 1) WTC towers' structure's damage by the initial impact, followed by softening of this steel and concrete structure from fire exposure, until the upper building weight crashed the lower weakened structure. Since no other case is known of such equivalent buildings being destroyed by fire, then this explanation only holds if the initial damage was large enough. Are you aware of any evaluation of the energy dissipated by the initial impact, and simulations or computations of how much damage it could have caused? 2) Controlled destruction by coordinated explosions all along the fall path. Although most of what is left of the towers have disappeared, explosives traces are no doubt to be found in what remains.

I studied the videos of the collapse of the WTC towers. I'm convince that explosions brought those structures down. The towers were pulverized. How can you not believe your own eyes? One can see the buildings exploding. Firemen reported they heard explosions going off at every floor.

Some people refuse to believe anything other than the official story, saying that anything else is conspiracy theory. They believe that a government conspiracy isn't possible because it would involve too many people for it to remain secret. However, the only thing that is truly not possible is the violation of physical laws. The speed at which the buildings collapsed violates physical laws if you believe the government's story. Therefore, the official story is impossible. Rule out the impossible, and you're left with the possible - a conspiracy by elements within our government.

As an Engineer I find the Official Story repulsive and reprehensible. I further find it upsetting that the real story has not been introduced to the public and has not even been approached by the media. This can only be seen as a cover up. Science does not confirm the Official Story but does confirm Controlled Demolition, especially in Building 7.

The straight down symmetrical collapses surprised me the day it happened. I had forgotten a third building even fell. After reviewing the collapses on the internet again recently, it is without doubt controlled demolition. Structural steel buildings can collapse from a fire, but not like that.

If the official story is true then the laws of physics have been violated. My certainty that 9/11 was a false flag attack is not based on any one damning piece of evidence but the sheer volume of damning evidence each sufficient in its own right to warrant a true investigation instead of the political farce of a cover-up known as the 9/11 Commission.

WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 were without a doubt brought down via controlled demolition- the evidence is overwhelming. Anyone who supports the official theory is either lying or hasn't researched 9/11 thoroughly.

I've worked in and around construction my entire life. One of my grandfathers was a civil engineer and developer, owning his own firm. He graduated from University of Louisville's civil engineering program. My other grandfather was a machinist and owned his own tool and die company doing contract work for the Louisville Naval Ordnance Station. My father is a builder and owns a sports advertising business. I graduated with a bachelors in civil engineering from Purdue University, an honor's list student who took several graduate-level courses. I landed a great job as an geoenvironmental engineering consultant out of school and worked at a management and design level on several high-profile projects, including a designated Superfund site. I've owned my own general contracting company since 1995 and have worked as an English teacher in several Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and Thailand.
I grew up in a catholic family that greatly loved JFK and were heartbroken at his assassination. Shortly after, my father was among the first to see a showing of the Zapruder film, by a man who was traveling the country and presenting it at universities. For this reason, I became a bit of a conspiracy scholar from my middle school years and this continued through my adult life, as I became increasingly aware of a world that exists beneath the surface of things. I had just come into knowledge of the Bohemian Grove and Bilderberg meetings during the summer of 2006 when I rather suddenly came to the realization that the collapses of the WTC buildings on 9/11 were the result of a controlled demolition. This took my awakening to the nature of political power in the world to a whole knew level. I've followed hundreds of rabbit holes since then and feel there is a lifetime of work to be done, if one wants to refer to it as that. It's actually more a struggle for freedom and perhaps even survival. Richard Gage and his crew have been relentlessly assembling a body of evidence for over 14 years and have shown a courage that I can only believe must have existed among our ancestors as they fought for freedom against the British.

Building 7 is the most glaring example of an inside job. It looks exactly like all the buildings we have seen demolished using controlled demolition. In the twin towers you can clearly see explosions and debris shooting out many floors below the collapse zone. The buildings fell at (WTC 7) or near (Twin towers) free fall. I have been studying this event for four years and I do not believe the official story.

The moment I watched a 10 minute video about WTC 7 on Easter Day of 2006, I knew the official story was a lie, and I am ashamed that I didn't realize it sooner. I don't know what really happened on 9/11, but one thing I do know is that it is impossible for 2 airplanes to cause the complete and total destruction of 3 steel buildings, comprising 250+ stories, at free-fall speed.

The World Trade Center 7 building collapsing in a symmetrical manner nearly at the rate of gravity led me to question the official story. The fact that WTC7 was only mentioned as a foot note in the 9/11 Commission Report furthered my suspicions. Not long after the Report was published I found this website and have researched the circumstances surrounding 9/11 much closer. There is so much overwhelming evidence that I could no longer sit idly by.

The September 11th attacks are a difficult issue not because of the science, but the psychology. For years I dismissed the 9/11 truthers without taking the time to listen to their claims, let alone examine the evidence that they had diligently compiled. Even when I finally did look into the issue, I wanted so badly to maintain my world view that I spent weeks looking for something that disproved the claims of the 9/11 truth movement. After failing to find it, I became angry. Why hadn't my engineering professors told me? I realized that, just like me, they had naturally rejected ideas that went against their preconceptions. Now I am trying to become a part of one of the most ridiculed and hated groups in the United States: those who were open minded enough to listen, humble enough to investigate, and motivated enough to do something about it.

Building 7 cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The molten steel cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The immense cloud of dust at the TOPS of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by softened steel brought down by gravity. The vertical and horizontal ejects from the tops of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by gravitational force. The presence of thermate in the dust particles tells it all - the mainstream media does not - obviously. And how about the human remains outside ground zero?

I would like to see more focus on the 9/11 Truth argument from an engineering perspective that cannot be refuted. My own simple conservation of momentum calculations show that the claimed pancake collapse can't have occurred at free fall speed as each of the floors would have slowed the floors above falling.

I was in state MA (USA) at 9/11 2001. Everybody was scared what happened. Lot of rumors like - how come that army jets did not attack those aircraft's before hitting WTC. I believed also that Al Qaida and their boss arranged it. a Year after, heard that a suspicious few number of people came to work at 9/11 2001 in WTC. I was still convinced that Terrorist does all the evil. Until I watched speech of Richard Gage and he technically proved that WTC was brought down by controlled demolition. After that I watched movie form Aaron Russo, I watched Zeitgeist where were also mentioned how those buildings fell down.

I have over 25 years of refining and petroleum engineering and project management and construction experience. I graduated with a BSCE degree from Montana State University in 1982. I was also a nuclear reactor operator in the US Navy prior to college. Although my degree is in Civil engineering, my career has centered on multi-discipline engineering design and the project management required for developing surface oil production facilities or refinery modification and expansion projects. I currently work for an engineering consulting firm in the Pacific Northwest. I have completed engineering projects for most of the major oil companies during my career. Typical projects range in capital cost from $5MM to $40MM.
The destruction of the WTC buildings had to be accomplished by a well-planned, designed and engineered controlled demolition. Richard Gage does an excellent job in identifying key physical evidence to prove controlled demolition was used to destroy all three WTC towers. The evidence he presents can be intuitively grasped by ordinary people and should be even more convincing to engineers experienced with the physics and engineering mechanics.

Buildings collapsed all by controlled demolition methods. Fire and impact were insignificant in all three buildings. Impossible for the three to collapse at free-fall speed. Laws of physics were not suspended on 9/11, unless proven otherwise.

As a registered civil engineer, I feel a professional duty to add my name and voice to this petition. As a citizen, I feel deceived that the events relating to the collapse of Building 7 have been obscured from public scrutiny, and that a full and credible technical report, which includes structural and fire-safety evaluations, has not been made public.

I have worked for 25 years for a worldwide-known French defense manufacturer. I've worked on many projects developing military radio communication products and warfare systems.
My doubts about the official version of the 9/11 building collapses started when I realized that the common factor in all three building collapses was free fall speed. This is the main point, and a building expert understands that when the upper floor of a building falls at free fall speed, that means that it doesn't encounter any obstacle until it hits the ground. This means that when the floor drops and arrives at the next floor, the second one is already gone, and so on for all floors down to the bottom one. It means that all the floors must fall at the same time. This is of course not compatible with the official story of floors dropping on each other. The free fall result is only possible by using professional explosives, and they require a long time to install.

Engineering graduate ... (+ 2 years in civil Engineering) Moved in to the oil business and work world wide now in Positions of operational responsibility.
I have 3 problems with the official version of 911: 1- Speed by which the buildings came down. No credible expert has been able to justify that ... through scientific means. 2 - Building 7 was undeniably brought down voluntarily. In addition to the video evidence there are some reports of people admitting to this. It is also undeniable that some CIA agencies were based in that building. The fact that the official investigation report identifies a fire as the sole cause of collapse is the most convincing proof of a cover up. 3 - My last point is less related to Engineering evidence: Video footage of G . W. Bush's reaction to learning the news while in a children's school (source: Farenheit 911, if confirmed). He didn't move for 8 minutes when it was clear this was a major attack on the American Nation. I personally am responsible for the safety of 185 people in my present profession (manager of major petroleum field) When I hear of a safety critical situation... I immediately take action to lead the crisis situation. Clearly anyone in a position of reponsibility where lives are at stake is expected, and trained, to react like that.
