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.

Dear Mr. Gage: Thank you for taking on the architectural and engineering review of the collapses on 9/11 of the buildings at the World Trade Center site. I was dubious of the official explanations from the outset. You see, as a professional city planner in New York, I knew those buildings and their design. I attended and participated in the hearings at the New York City Hall when the buildings were first proposed. I argued for the buildings on the basis that the interior core represented a way of internalizing the cost of mass transit, which in our system is almost impossible to finance through public bond issues. So I was well aware of the strength of the core with its steel columns, surrounding the elevators, and stairwells. I should also mention that with a degree in architecture and instruction in steel design (my Yale professor had worked on the Empire State Building) I was and am no novice in structural design. When I saw the rapid collapse of the towers, I knew that they could not come down the way they did without explosives and the severing of core columns at the base. The spewing of debris from the towers where the planes entered also could not have occurred simply with just a structural collapse. Something else was happening to make this occur. Moreover, the symmetrical collapse is strong evidence of a controlled demolition. A building falling from asymmetrical structural failure would not collapse so neatly, nor so rapidly, as you have pointed out. What we are faced with is a lie of such proportions that even to suggest it makes one subject to ridicule and scorn. Who could have done such a terrible thing? Certainly not our government or military. Rogue elements in the intelligence agencies? I have no idea. But I do know that the official explanation doesn't hold water. An open, honest re-opening of the case is in order. A near majority of Americans agrees with this view. Let us keep pressing for an honest investigation.

I have been tangentially involved with fire rating of control and transformer rooms.
The building collapses have never made sense to me because of the following reasons. - - 1: The free-fall time. Objects colliding do not operate like that. - - 2: The melted steel. Without preheated air, I see no way to obtain those temperatures. and oxygen starved fires, as shown by the red and flames and smoke, make it impossible to obtain those temperatures. - - 3: The instantaneous collapse. Although I am not a structural engineer, that makes no sense to me. Heat processes take time. - - 4: Even the NIST says the jet fuel burned quickly and the fires were office fires.

Most of my professional work has been in commercial and residential renovation. I am also licensed as a general contractor and not only design, but also build.
All three buildings collapsed in their own footprints, which is a highly unlikely event unless as a result of controlled demolition. The building's architect has stated that the structures were designed for airplane strikes. If one were to believe that the weight of the airplanes were responsible for the collapse, then they should come up with a scenario why the third, 42 story building also collapsed in it's own footprint without being struck by an airplane...and also why the old post office building across the street did not fall from the supposed ground shaking. Also, if one supposes the collapse was due to the airplane weight and complicity of the fire created by airplane fuel burning...do they really think it's possible to melt steel instantaneously at gravitational freefall rate? (Even if airplane fuel could burn hot enough to melt steel in the first place).

The cause of the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 could be argued in court (unfortunately). WTC7 failure mode (complete collapse) is not possible, the building had no fire and minimal exterior damage as per TV footage. If anything, the expected structural failure mode would be partial collapse (shearing across 30-45 degrees), located nearest WTC main towers. - - Note: Highly likely that collapse of WTC 1 and 2 would trip out all electrical power in WTC area, including WTC7. (no electrical fire)

Grew up in Indiana, private schools and some college, always believed we were sabotaged by our own. This is not ok, and has happened many times since...
When it happened that day no one had any idea who or what happened until we were told what happened by our government. They are hiding the truth from us and it is time for the truth to finally come out!!

I remember being late to school and turning on the t.v. I saw the first tower had already been hit. Then suddenly a plane slams into 2nd tower. I went to school which was locked down and I remember it being a surreal day. Because of 9/11 many of my friends joined the military. 9/11 indirectly affected friends and family. In the pursuit of proving they were patriotic and fighting for a cause. Many people's lives were turned upside down or lost. That being said and after reviewing the testimony of professional engineers/architects I believe we have been lied to.

I am currently attending Iowa State University but have always been curious about finding the truth about what happened on 9/11/2001. After years of research, the only thing I am sure of is that our government has lied and taken advantage of us once again.
As an American citizen I am outraged at how little has been done by our own government to investigate what actually happened on 9/11, especially considering the actions we took supposedly as a result of what happened that day.

It's just science, and the lies have to stop. There cannot be distrust between the government and the citizens. One might wonder why they would do it. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but, the evidence is clear. There is no one telling me that the official story is true.

In my senior year of High School and i have studied the events of 9/11 and have seen structural diagrams of the buildings that had collapsed and did not quiet see the truth in the matter. I have also researched this topic and plan to incorporate it into my senior graduation paper.
I believe that the events that took place on 09/11/01 have not been reported honestly and the lack of investigation has lead me to think that there is much more to the events and i think that the we deserve a proper investigation for the truth of what took place and why it took place.

It's obvious to most people with common sense that these buildings were brought down by something other than planes. The fact that building 7 also collapsed is even more disturbing and more attention should be focused on that. Finding out why building 7 collapsed is the major key.

Since small I have been witness to a sizeable amount of high rise building demolitions and how other buildings succumb to natural disasters that have caused them to topple over. It was weird for me to make sense of the way all three buildings fell in contrast to what had just happened. When I did a logical analysis of the different points of view and data that all sources have cited and used in their defense,the most logical and rational conclusion is the one given by the experts.

I am a relatively affluent young adult raised in California, and am well educated in the sciences, particularly physics, which I took an interest in throughout my high school and college education.
Free fall speeds of collapse are the most glaring inconsistency between understood and accepted scientific theory and the official explanation put forth by government agencies. Evidence of explosive compounds and molten steel (both before the collapse in the debris) are pieces of evidence in direct conflict with official government statements, and demand for a new investigation to be opened. Other notable pieces of evidence for me include: explosive forces necessary for the recorded horizontal ejections of multi-ton structures, pyroclastic flows that melted paint on cars near ground zero which look unlike concrete dust from any other high-rise destruction, eyewitness testimonies that describe explosions immediately before and during the collapses, appearance of core column failure preceding rapid onset collapse, and extreme denial of basic utilization of the scientific method in the official government investigations.

I don't believe in the official statement of what happened and I am suspicious of the US-American government, which also frightens me as it is hard to believe so many people would be killed for the gain in political/economical profit. The Swiss historian Daniele Ganser gives a very interesting theory of today's world's system, which made me more critical towards the USA especially big political associations.

I have decided to sign this petition because I believe passionately in truth and procedural fairness. Without truth, a nation's people cannot meaningfully place their trust in their government and in the legal system and this lack of trust ultimately contributes to the deterioration of civil participation in citizenship and even of respect for human rights. It is critical for historical and social justice that the truth of what happened at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 be rigorously examined and, if other than what has previously been purported, exposed for what it really was. The science of this event is strongly against the conventional 9/11 account of events purported by the mainstream media, and with repeated demonstration of otherwise by engineers, the public deserves to know that truth even if it is a heinous one.

Just an average citizen who continually sees more and more evidence that our government is doing its best to keep the wool pulled over the eyes of Americans, and abuses governmental power to further and enrich themselves, at the cost of the American people.
There is too much evidence against the official report regarding 9/11. The official story published by our government is not the truth (based upon so much contradicting evidence), and the fact that our government has tried so hard to prevent new investigations further shows that they know their story is not the truth.
