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.

Free fall collapse of the buildings is not possible without use of explosives. - - - - As the towers collapsed they were turned in to concrete dust and relatively small pieces structural steel. This combined with the almost free fall of the collapsed floors would have reduced the load on the lower floors that were intact, not increased it. So,what caused them to collapse?

There is simply too much physical evidence that was ignored or unexplained in the first investigations. Another investigation is warranted. In these days after 911, the public is often told that if one has nothing to hide, one should not object to the ubiquitous surveillance that is done in the name of national security. Likewise, if the government has nothing to hide, it should welcome another investigation that gets to the truth. Our elected officials need to muster the courage to insist on a new investigation in spite of the powerful resistance they most certainly will face.

I have graduated in 2001 and started my own firm in 2007. I work primarily with residential architecture, including architectural projects, construction and interior design.
When an expert implodes any building to its footprint it is a result of years of experience and several months of preparation. In 9/11 the planes caused irregular damages to both buildings. It is not reasonable to believe that it caused the whole structure to collapse at the same time and with such symmetry. It is even more difficult to believe that that happened not once that day, but three times - one of them even without the impact of a plane.

If WTC7 were to have fallen due to a fire you would see each column collapse, setting up a chain reaction that would pull the others down with it. Instead what we see is a simultaneous collapse of the entire structure at free fall speed.

When I realized that WTC 7 fell the same way as WTC 1,2 at free fall speed. I knew there was a massive cover up in the terrible event occurred in 911 by the US government. I was also deeply troubled after seeing the conspiracy theory presented by Jesse Ventura regarding the supposedly missing black boxes, was actually seen physically by the first responder.

The way the building collapsed makes no scientific sense. The buildings fell down as if it were pulverized , like what occurs in a controlled demolition. In addition, there were parts of the building that seemed to be falling in the horizontal axis as well as downward, as if they were exploded outward from the building.. Pieces of the building were found very distant from where the buildings stood.

While I understand the strategy of focusing on the WTC-7 building collapse, it is painfully obvious from just watching all three WTC buildings collapse that they were brought down by controlled demolition. There is absolutely no other possible explanation from a science and engineering point of view. Science has no agenda. The additional supporting evidence (squibs, thermate, eyewitness accounts, etc.) is very useful, but ultimately, not even needed to prove with 100% certainty that all three WTC buildings were destroyed by explosive demolition. A scientific/engineering analysis of video showing the collapse of the 3 WTC buildings is ultimately the only evidence required to prove with 100% certainty that all three WTC buildings were destroyed by explosive demolition. Again, science has no agenda.

Like Richard Gage has said before, the official story insults the intelligence of a 10 year old. It is quite obvious the official story doesn't make much sense. At least if we are wrong about 9/11 being an inside job, prove us wrong!

I never believed the towers could have collapsed simply from being struck by an airplane, let alone go down in such a perfect manner. Then there is building 7, enough said? Also the fact the certain individuals were more or less warned not to be at work that morning, or that NORAD didn't scramble fighter jets when there was evidence of a plane striking the S tower. Just too many things about it make no sense.

Occupation: Artist/Philosopher
Matt Blake has always felt like he was born with the ability to draw. But he abandoned the BFA pursuits at the University of Missouri-Columbia to get into what he thought would be a more lucrative pursuit of Graphic Design/Art Direction in the Advertising industry. Mr. Blake subscribes to a two-pronged approach to art at this point in time - he works in oils as well as this relatively modern art form, digital collages. This newer technology enables an artist to grab and arrange preconceived forms, ideas and symbols in such a layered fashion that the conveyed ideas can be increasingly complex. All man made things that exist at one point or another were once only ideas inside our human minds... Blake explains. We bring this reality into existence... it is this infinite Thought StructureTM, or Structure of ThoughtTM - a phrase coined by me-that I try to bring into physical being thru this fairly new digital art form. Matt believes humanity can strive to uncover what has always been-a more perfect, more benevolent, accepting, compassionate world-and art can and will show us the way. Matt concludes, It is my hope that my work here on planet earth will help lead that charge. Why not?
Mr. Blake, for the sake of humanity and his own soul, subscribes to standing up to the powers that be because he feels that absolute power corrupts absolutely. 9-11 is case in point - we are deliberately being deceived. He questions all authority in the tradition of Gandhi, JFK, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, MLK among others.

I am going to Knox College this Fall 09 and have been interested and truly saddened about the events and the deceptions engulfing 9/11. I am an adamant history and sociology buff and behind the scenes events I believe deserve an equal amount if not more attention than public history.
The American Reichstag symbolizes the American Century and the American rulers and ruled in a most extraordinarily concise way. 9/11 reflects the psychologically gilded age in which we live. It involves self-destruction for political and economic benefits, deceit through every medium possible at any cost to integrity, and a new age witch hunt equivalent to the red scare for conspiracy nuts who merely thrive passionately for truth and transparency. How sad it is that the term truthers is used in a derogatory manner. Lies to the public and to oneself is what will be most remembered about the modern American public. Tear

Just want the truth. The WTC7 especially. There are several differing theories out there most of which open the doors for the TRUTH which I am sure is not being told right now. The buildings would have held and the ones that we are building in the UK are not dissimilar and would take the impact. I am not here to instigate political change but to find out the truth behind the seemingly controlled way that the 3 buildings came down that sorry day.

I believe that enough questions, based on serious investigation and forensic evidence, have been raised to warrant a serious response from responsible leaders. Even to a lay person, it seems inconceivable that three modern skyscrapers could have collapsed, in the manner in which they did, from airplane strikes and fires alone.

As the towers went down it was obvious to me that they were 'taken down' like a professional demolition. The explosions on the lower floors prior to them collapsing is blatant. The evidence is overwhelming. No black boxes were found, but some paperwork from the plane survived? The nano explosive material, the cut steel beams, the K-9 dogs taken from the building the day before, the eye-witness accounts of explosions before the plane hit, etc... The official story is weak and hasn't responded to many of these issues. A plane hitting the top of a tower like that couldn't bring down the whole building, the way the building was observed to have come down. Shrapnel, or debris, from the WTC towers couldn't have possibly caused Building 7 to come down like it did.

I was pretty young when 9-11 happened. I think it was the day after my 16th or 17th birthday. All I knew then was this is way bigger than what they are telling us. I am eager to hear more.
Something doesn't seem right. How is it possible for the collapse to resemble a planned demolition. Especially when the towers were hit so close to the top. Maybe if they were hit near the base. And I have seen that movie LOOSE CHANGE and it gave me some insite but I know there is so much more to explore.

I have a Regents Diploma and I have been studying the events of 9/11 for over three year's!
My opinion is that the buildings all had explosives planted in them. Mainly because of the fact that they fell at nearly free fall speed. And because no skyscraper has fallen due to a fire anywhere at any time in history. Jet fuel can't melt steel. The government said that the fire caused the steel to weaken not melt, so why weeks after the attack at ground zero steel was still melting cherry red? Steel melts at 2800'F so what could of melted the steel for weeks after 9/11? And why is building seven not in the 9/11 report?

My bio is not important. I am just an advocate for science and applying the scientific method to the 911 investigation.
1. Destruction proceeds through the path of greatest resistance at nearly free-fall acceleration 2. Improbable symmetry of debris distribution 3. Extremely rapid onset of destruction 4. Over 100 first responders reported explosions and flashes 5. Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph 6. Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking 7. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds 8. 1200-foot-dia. debris field: no pancaked floors found 9. Isolated explosive ejections 20 ' 40 stories below demolition front 10. Total building destruction: dismemberment of steel frame 11. Several tons of molten metal found under all 3 high-rises 12. Evidence of thermite incendiaries found by FEMA in steel samples 13. Evidence of explosives found in dust samples 14. No precedent for steel-framed high-rise collapse due to fire
