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.

Author, or Program Manager, of several U.S. Government Technical Publications, including studies and NUREGS. Author of two books.
Concern that the construction met code, especially in concrete and structural steel erection. Concern that there was not an acceptable oblative fire protection coating on the structural steel (such as Albi Durospray). Concerned about a purported CIA emergency diesel fuel tank in the building that did not meet code and may have been a contributory factor. Concerned that the building fire protection systems met code, were operable, and had been tested. Concern about actual fire loading of the building (allowable and actual combustible materials, when this was verified and how it was controlled).

Knowing the basics of structural engineering, controlled demolition appears to be one of the only explanations of why WTC building 7 fell--and possibly the towers. Building fires do not cause steel-framed buildings to collapse. I am unclear why the government would not want an independent scientific investigation involving some of the most respected architects and engineers to take place in the absence of solid conclusions drawn in the official 9/11 report.

I have over fifteen years experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer and Systems Integration & Test Engineer in the Aerospace industry.
As someone who considers himself a no-nonsense observer who values truth in whatever form it takes, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to question the cognitive dissonance between the official story and what I observed with my own eyes. Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~Patrick Henry

Graduated in 2002 from the University of Texas with Honors. I've practiced structural engineering as a licensed professional engineer for 13 years.
I was in college when 911 occurred. At the time I was taking design classes in steel, wood and concrete. I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar from the original structural engineer of record shortly after the tragic events of 911. At the seminar, I learned of the design and construction of the twin towers. I would like to see the truth come out about what really happened on this horrendous day in our history, for the victims, survivors and American people.

I have over 40 years of professional architectural practice and service to the community. I graduated from Washington State University with B. A. in Architecture and received my architectural license in Washington in 1971. I later received licenses in Minnesota, Utah, and Hawaii. I still maintain my license to practice though I am semi-retired at this time.
Nothing that I have seen or heard pertaining to the 9/11 tragedy leads me to any conclusion other than that the two aircraft were not the actual cause the collapse of the twin towers. We will actually not know the true cause until there is an independent and full investigation of the tragedy that took so many lives. I have watched many videos of the 9/11 towers' collapse. I do not think that these demolitions could have taken place without some form of high level government involvement. But even if it can be shown that WTC 1 & 2 were brought down by the plane crashes, it leaves open the collapse of WTC 7. WTC 7 came down like a controlled demolition hours after WTC 1 & 2 and long after the small fires in it were extinguished.

Occupation: Artist Activist
My name is James Alexander Moore, I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and worked in construction for two years before going to Wittenberg University for Political Science. I have never felt contempt with the official 9/11 Commission and would like to see an independent investigation especially into the WTC7 collapse. I have always taken the events of September 11th very seriously, with flight 93 crashing only an hour drive from my home. I demand to see a proper investigation of all the events that took place that day for the families of the victims and for the people of the world that have dealt with the consequences of our reaction to that day.
The manner in which Tower seven collapsed was unlike Towers 1 and 2 in that it seemed to completely cave in on itself. I did not see one side fail before another. Therefore if the fires on the one side of the Tower were responsible for the collapse it would have fallen in that direction. Towers 1 and 2 both collapsed from the point of impact taking out the stories below it in a domino effect. I witnessed nothing like that with building 7, it was identical to a controlled demolition. From the evidence I have been presented I feel obligated to sign this petition to have a true legitimate investigation into the collapse of the World Trade Towers.

When I first saw the events on that day, I thought, for sure, there had to be explosives used in the towers. I was disgusted that it took so long for an 'investigation' to take place. The 'investigation' did not uncover any truth about the events. I have lost much faith in the way our nation operates.

I am a licensed Professional Engineer practicing in Ontario, Canada. I work in metallurgy, specifically in the refining of precious metals for a major international resource company. I have practiced in my field for 8 years.
On 9/11, I watched the towers collapse along with the rest of the world. At the time I could not believe that they collapsed by the mechanism as explained in the media. I was convinced, albeit without proof, that there had to be additional explosive media present to create such damage. As the proof of a governmental conspiracy has surfaced over the years I have become an advocate for 9/11 truth, speaking to anyone who will listen.

I grew up north of Boston MA. Received my B Arch from the University of Oregon in 1990. I passed the MA license exam at my first sitting in 1993 and have been working as an architect since. I have always described myself as a technical architect specializing in complex facilities such as laboratories, medical buildings, and data centers. For the past six and half years I have been working as a building envelope consultant predominantly for corporate and institutional clients in eastern MA and New England.
Based on information of which I have recently been made aware, I believe the official report that was issued concerning the destruction of the world trade center towers was orchestrated to conceal the truth about the events that occurred on that infamous day.

I really do believe that getting your organization's explanation of the buildings' engineering facts, which provide the most excellent explanation that I am aware of of the un-likelihood that the collapse of the buildings could have been caused by fire as stated in the official report --- getting this info out far & wide is important, because it is among the most compelling reasoning's available today on the need to conduct a new, independent and credible investigation.

It is too hard for me to believe that three buildings fell straight down in New York City; Building number 7 was not even hit. We should have civilian's as part of the investigative panel. What country did we turn into that we can't investigate the murder of 3000 of our fellow Americans?

After seeing the lecture and video by Richard Gage on the ae911Truth.org website , I don't think any reasonable, rational person could come away without the conviction that all three World Trade Center buildings were brought down by controlled demolition on September 11, 2001, and that it had to be an inside job. For me, the most important thing is for these facts to be broadly exposed so that the American people and the people of the world will force an end to the never-ending war on terrorism. Thank you for your good work, Richard Gage!

there is now way in the world that these three buildings could fall at almost free fall speed without and type of demolition assistance. lets be reasonable the path of most resistance is straight down! and how is there parts of the building shoot out laterally int other buildings and stuck in the face of those other buildings without demolition style assistance. get it together people....9-11 truth NOW!!!

I'm an American with no criminal record like most Americans. A skyscraper collapsing not once but twice in an identical manner is a controlled demolition.
Alistair Cook called the commercial airliners slamming into the World Trade Center buildings a declaration of war. The total collapse of the US security services on that day along with the buildings collapsing so perfectly into their own footprint speaks of a controlled demolition. It makes no proper sense. Something like that can only be subversive. Unless there is an explanation to prove otherwise. Also, what American will deny a gut reaction to witnessing that stunt being broadcast in real time?

I watched the DVD and found the information astounding. It does not seem like rocket science that these three buildings were planned demolitions. My heart goes out to the families of those we lost in those buildings. How can a government be so cold hearted. I do feel sorry for President Obama as I think he was set up on purpose to clean USA's mess up. Good Luck and Kia Kaha President Obama. I do look forward to the real truth coming out.

I'm only an average citizen that doesn't believe the 911 commission's report or the Bush/Cheney administration's explanation for that event or ANY of the resulting loss of our constitutional rights and the ensuing wars....and I also feel they and their co-conspirators should be held to the highest measure of punishment.
Not all Americans are so gullible as to believe what we're told and it is so obvious....this was a false flag operation plain and simple

To me the collapse of building 7 defies the laws of physics in so much that it was not hit by any aircraft, sustained only minimal damage due to fire yet collapsed into its own footprint at almost free-fall speed.

There are so many bits of information on this subject that don't add up. Watch the John Lear videos on YouTube. He is a top pilot and all the evidence he gives makes me believe that this was done to start a war in Iraq. Read 'War is a racket' by General Smedley Butler to read why countries will always send soldiers to fight somewhere. Mass Governmental Corruption. You could see the bombs exploding on the films and why did tower 7 collapse? No explanation for this is there?
