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.

I have a Masters degree, Cum Laude, in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I was also accepted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society. I have 30 years of diverse design and on-site experience in the engineering field. My most relevant credentials in contributing to AE911truth is my extensive experience in computer simulation of structures and mechanical components. My active membership in NAFEMS is also a testament to my interest in modeling and simulation.
I recently reviewed much of the documentation that AE911truth has supplied and also other sources. My conclusion, based on my engineering experience and intuition, is that structures that are struck in a random nature do not respond with the type of symmetry we see in the WTC towers collapse. In fact, if one were hypothetically tasked to collapse these towers as symmetrically as they fell, it would be nearly impossible, at least for someone without expertise in demolition or other advanced techniques.

There is only one way that Building 7 could have collapsed the way it did. That's if all the structural joints failed at the same time. Controlled demolition explains this perfectly. There is lots of other evidence that supports this theory as well. The most convincing is just the time study of the collapse of Building 7.

I've seen other investigations of the 9-11 attacks and they all point to the same thing, but the listing of reasons for doubting the official story as found on this web site is both the most succinct and compelling I've yet seen. As I read some of those points I thought Of course! I should not have needed an architect to point out those things! It is clear that further investigation is needed with testimony by experts such as Richard Gage.

Duvall, WA
Occupation: Land Surveyor
A land surveyor often stakes offices and other large buildings and we sometimes monitor these and adjoining buildings during construction. Any observant person can see the redundancy in the building construction.
No single column failure would result in a catastrophic collapse. All three buildings fell into the path of MOST resistance, not least resistance. This is impossible without removing the resistance. This is why there has been no record of a steel framed building collapsing in the way the three Manhattan buildings collapsed. Close up views of the North Tower show the building disintegrating above the impact area and the top of the building is descending while the portion of the building below the impact is not moving, proving that a demolition is taking place. The South Tower is tilting into the path of least resistance and suddenly it collapses straight down into the path of greatest resistance. The North and South Towers were hit at greatly different heights leaving the South Tower with substantially more weight above the impact area than the North Tower, yet somehow the physics of this great (crushing) weight did not accelerate the collapse of the South Tower in any significant way over the North Tower. Building No. 7 is clearly, without a doubt, a controlled demolition. The fact that if there was not foul play then those in control of the investigations and the Justice dept would have no qualms in allowing a fully independent investigation. In fact, if they are as innocent as they claim, a fully independent investigation would exonerate them. This was about the Caspian Sea and the oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan and the uncooperative Taliban who were opposing the CentGas pipeline.

When you delve deeper in to our universe/reality, the truth unfolds and you wonder how the hell these crooks can seriously get away with this shit!
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.

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.

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
