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 B.S. in Civil Engineering from Penn State University. I worked for a developer (commercial and residential) for two years after graduating. During my engineering courses I studied structures with Harry West, an excellent structural engineering professor. During that semester, we did a case study on the disaster that happened at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City in the 80's. I recently looked up the information about the event (in particular when I was watching Mr. Gage's videos about WTC 7 and the 9/11 disaster in general) and was surprised to discover that the Kansas City disaster was the biggest structural steel failure, in terms of loss of life, until 9/11! I wonder what engineering students have to study now when the facts about 9/11 are so unclear and decidedly incorrect in the government version that NIST released. Why can't we get a proper investigation into these events that addresses the real facts presented to us, like free fall collapse through path of greatest resistance. It's nonsense that the government would even have high school students believe such stuff, let alone advanced university engineering students. Please include my name in your petition. I think the victims of this disaster and the subsequent victims (both US soldiers and Iraqi citizens and US citizens in general) deserve the truth.
I was shocked to see the scientific facts that Mr. Gage presented regarding the collapse of WTC 7. It should be obvious even to laypeople that the collapse was a controlled demolition. Even newscasters of the day reported they thought that was what they were seeing. Why is the government hiding the truth from us? It is obvious that explosives, at the very least, were used; more than likely, based on the finding of the microspheres of iron in the dust, the incendiary thermite was used. I am not a 'truther' or kookspiracist. I simply have an engineering background and am amazed that people who see Mr. Gage's presentations would think that he is making things up: that the laws of physics took a break on that September day. I now think and feel so differently about our government and even about agencies like NIST and the ASCE that have failed the engineering community on this incident. Why didn't these agencies explain the obvious fallacies and discrepancies present in those events? I feel betrayed by our government. I also feel a deep sense of distrust for such agencies that have the responsibility to protect the general public by providing unbiased and truthful investigations into incidents that harm and kill us citizens. I remember studying the Kansas City Hyatt disaster in engineering school. We were taught about the consequences of negligence in our work as engineers, how loss of life and property can occur as a result of poor work on our part as engineers. How can current day engineering students look at 9/11 and learn anything when so many paradoxes and controversies surround it? Our government needs to reopen the investigation and find out what really happened. So many lives have been lost and continue to be lost as a result of the rash decisions and outcomes based on what was perceived to have happened, most of which is unsubstantiated by facts and scientific laws that must not be disregarded. I wholeheartedly support Mr. Gage's movement to get a new investigation, and I hope he is able to achieve what he has set out to do: reveal the truth.

I woke and saw the news of the Towers on fire. - - I evaluated the situation and the comparatively minor damage compared to the size of the structure. - - The flash heat of jet fuel is unable to melt protected steel. - - Although I was greatly disturbed by the destruction, I saw no possibility of complete collapse. - - I watched every minute of news and was completely confused when and why the Towers collapsed. - - Further confused why the collapse was perfectly symmetrical. - - Asymmetric damage should result in asymmetric failure. - - - - I feel an odd sense of confused repression of what I thought I held as a solid scientific facts of physics when I see or hear about 9/11. It bothers me psychologically. It's as if it's possible that gravity may not work tomorrow. - - - - Please, the truth must surface.

I have a BS and MS in Materials Science and learned about the properties of steel per laws of physics and chemistry, as did many other engineers. Why are the laws suspended on 9/11 when the WTC towers fell according to the official report signed off by the Department Head of Materials Science at Harvard? If you believe this report, then why are we still allowing people to live and work in skyscrapers constructed with steel and codes prior to 9/11 when the law of physics apparently changed to please the Empire? I would think more engineers would protest this official story as it affects the credibility of their degrees and professional code of ethics.

As an engineer, the evidence presented here seems to be overwhelming and definitely warrants further investigation and answers. As there is such an abundance of evidence to the contrary then I don't see any reason to not re-investigate 911 and get to the truth. Even if the official theory is correct, then a real and independent investigation will find that out anyways so there is nothing to worry about. If AE911truth are wrong, then they are wrong and we put it to rest, however if they are right, then the implications of this are huge. Good luck - I admire your courage, and fully support your call for a new, independent investigation into the destruction of the three skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty.

It is inconceivable that the World Trade Center buildings collapsed as they did because of fires as the public has been led to believe. This is not just an opinion, but a very well educated guess. Although I studied electrical engineering, Georgia Tech--as most engineering universities--required that I take courses in physics, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics.

I was in NYC during the collapse, in an apartment on W28th St. I had been shopping in the mall underneath the Towers and had seen them for the first time the previous day. Although I have no engineering experience, I was amazed that the Towers came straight down, somehow avoiding tremendous additional damage to lower Manhattan. The official story never seemed possible to me. My only experience is having been packed on the subway with people escaping from downtown.

I first became aware of issues in relation to 911 in 2009 when I friend passed on a documentary called Zeitgeist. I had seen Fahrenheit 911 but only concluded that Bush was an idiot and to be honest did not put too much thought into it. Following on from 911 I have read a David Ray Griffin book and watched alot of documentaries online about that fatal day. I am convinced there was prior knowledge of the attack and that it was most likely an inside job in as the catalyst to get into Iraq. I find it frustrating when I tell my friends about this but they simply don't care.

I am 24 years old, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. I have worked under various companies, low level due to my lack of motivation during the process of my education. I was lazy. I like to play video games, analyze newspapers and observe and come to proper conclusions. I believe in a unified world, heck for a long time (a very long time) of my life I feel strong connection to people all over the world. We are all family, there are no borders (really there aren't, only artificially created ones).
I believe that the 9/11 was and still is profoundly odd. Contradicting material, a feeling of a cover up by the government and various sources. Though I can feel it is simply a feeling of inexperience and the government does not want to expose themselves to this inexperience. Media not pressing matters, when journalism is all about pressing matters and covering every subject. Now time passes, and more and more people begin to forget or not care, and today when you speak about it, it becomes an act of are you a conspiracy theorist? when it has nothing to do about it. 9/11 fooled a world, to what end? To what purpose? What is the goal? I do not wish to blame anyone, I believe that those that did it (at this grand of a scale) are looking at a long term purpose. The West World attacked the Middle East together! European soldiers sent to Afghanistan as well. Something that I wonder and question myself is, how far does the American military stretch their operations today, compared to 2000? How much do they own? Are we looking at an attempt at world domination (long term, again), being the ultimate goal? During the Cold War America and Sweden joined forces in the form of a secret deal, they would protect us from Soviet. What was our end of the bargain? Did we ever repay it? Are we simply a daughter company, a product of America Co.? Governments and countries are companies! Not different people! Sure we speak different languages, some of us different colors but what we are genetically underneath the skin (from a scientific point of view, we are not very different).

The collapse of Building 7 (near the Twin Towers) changed everything for me. I then reconsidered the official explanation of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Building 7 collapsed even though it was only struck with indirect, minor debris. The representative of the ownership of Building 7 shocked me when he said on camera that we decided to pull Building 7, almost explicitly confirming that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. Regardless of what his words meant, Building 7's collapse was clearly not due to the plane attacks. And if Building 7 had already been prepared for controlled demolition prior to 9/11, it's logical the Twin Towers could have also been similarly prepared prior to 9/11. Also, a documentary interviewed Twin Tower security personnel, who were in the lowest floors of the Towers during and after the attack, described on camera huge explosions in the lowest levels of the Towers before their collapse; they also stated that during a weekend or two before 9/11, all security cameras and other security equipment in the Twin Towers were disabled, ostensibly for routine maintenance, even though these workers/manager(s) said security had never before during their long tenure there, been fully disabled, even with power turned off to other parts of the building. Again, if it was done in Building 7, why not in the Twin Towers? But Building 7's collapse was the tipping point for me in even considering a controlled demolition of the Twin Towers. Open a real investigation! Also, learning about the fully-confirmed 1960s U.S. government plan called Operation Northwoods, opened my mind to the possibility of the U.S. government aiding or orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, since they'd already considered this type of action decades before and for similar motivation.

I am a concerned citizen with doubts about the official explanation of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11.
The official explanation of the 9/11 building collapses does not sufficiently answer issues of sudden onset of destruction, free-fall-speed collapse, uniform debris fields, presence of exotic explosives in dust samples, eyewitness and photographic evidence of explosions and molten iron, and many other factors that point to a very different narrative.

I think Americans deserve to know the truth and I support all A/E's who endeavor to let the truth will out. I watched the WTC7 analysis video and I am convinced that the WTC7 collapsed through a planned and timed demolition. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) investigation and report was very unscientific and ignored much evidence to pronounce that the building had collapsed from fires from the office furnishings. We are all deserve closure and the truth.

It is impossible for any of these buildings to collapse especially at the speed they did without explosives being used.

Just a guy with two healthy eyes and a little bit of common sense. A father of one with another on the way. I have been borderline obsessed with the collapse of the whole 9/11 event since the day it happened and I am appalled at my country's leaders for going along with the official story. If its obvious to me, it sure better be obvious to my elected leaders right? Anyway, I work in the automobile industry but tinker in electronics as a hobby. I did go to school for Internet Business Tech but didn't really like (morally) where the industry was going so decided to do what I liked better, fixing cars.
I remember the day it all went down like it was yesterday. I worked at a Radio Shack at the time. I was watching the whole thing on a wall of TV's and when the first Tower fell I turned to the employee next to me and said That building just blew up. There's no way that just FELL down. and I have stuck to my observation until today.

Anyone who took basic algebra (and intro to physics) and can calculate the fall time of an object, will discover that the fall of the buildings was according to free fall (like a bowling ball). Finally, it takes a temperature of about 2,705F to melt steel. The fireball did not even reach 1,000F!

I have no relevent experience or technical education. But I can't ignore what I just know, and that is Building 7 should never have collapsed in such an orderly fashion because of random office fire. I just know it.
I am concerned about Building 7. For me it is the smoking gun in the whole 9/11 story. Its collapse seems to lack the chaotic nature belonging to the fire which was supposed to have bought it down. It's almost as though it has no business falling down. Especially since other buildings closer that sustained more damage than it, did not collapse. I am deeply concerned about this.

Hearing testimony from survivors, and using common sense when watching the buildings (more than 2), anyone can see there is foul play! I went to ground zero within days of the attack, I saw small shops still standing that were right next to the Twin Towers and at 16, could not make sense of it. I remember asking my father, why are these small apartments and shops still standing but these giant ones are not?. Then, weeks of media coverage with talks about explosions and seeing people burned by the explosions only to see in the investigations that there were no explosions...it just does not add up.

I am simply an American who deserves to know the truth about the destruction of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 on September 11, 2001.
Recently, I had reason to burn in excess of 10,000 board feet of various specie of wood scrap. I did so in a crude controlled burn using a common 55 gallon barrel. The debris contained a small amount of metal fasteners (ie. screws, staples, etc.). After placing and igniting pieces of the debris in the barrel it was allowed to burn at a normal rate (meaning no accelerates were used at any time). As coals and ash formed inside the barrel more wood was added periodically some of which contained nails, screws and staples. At no time during the 67 day period were any ash or other matter removed from the barrel. During the burn the barrel would glow red hot, but no distortion was observed. During the 67 day period different metal pieces were introduced into the fire at varied intervals. Once the fire was allowed to burn out completely and the ashes cool, I observed the following: 1. The ash produced was surprisingly minimal, approximately 15 gallons after the metal parts were removed. 2. The metal parts and fasteners were intact with no evidence of melting. I understand the metal parts were not subjected to stress as they were embedded in the wood during the burn. This brings me to my point. If a fire burning hot enough to turn a 55 gallon industrial barrel red hot for 67 days resulting in the reduction of 10,000 board feet of wood to approximately 15 gallons of ash isn't hot enough to exhibit even minor distortion of thin steel plates, steel screws and staples an oxygen deprived fire such as that at WTC could not have generated sufficient heat to melt steel beams and pulverize concrete and office furniture. I am neither an Architect or Engineer, nor a student of either. I am merely a concerned citizen who from day one has never believed in the pancake collapse explanation of any of the WTC buildings. I was watching the scene unfold on nationally broadcast television on 9/11/01 along with millions of others as the Towers fell. I said then (as it happened) and I say now, even in my limited knowledge of implosions, that the WTC incident was a controlled demolition.

A.A.S Arch. Drafting & Estimating
West Fargo, ND
I am a junior structural steel estimator who has a passion for alternative research and science. I graduated from NDSCS in 2011 in architectural drafting and estimating; I left school early to start working in Fargo for a prestigious fabrication shop. My experience may be brief, but I have researched 911 from top to bottom and given multiple speeches in college about it. During my speech class I passed out copies of the first official press release AE911Truth printed and gave a short speech about its implications.
Building 7 was the biggest red flag on September 11th. Not only did it fall at free fall speed, but molten steel flowed throughout the wreckage. Structural steel failure could result from the abnormal twisting of steel due to heat. However, it would take a lot more heat than what was available on 911 to turn structural steel back into a molten state. My dealings with heavy industrial applications and knowing what kind of heat steel is subjected to without failure has lead me to believe that way more than jet fuel was used to bring down the towers.

You don't need much of an education, or technical experience to see that there were explosive charges going off in ALL buildings, including building 7 which collapsed without sustaining ANY heavy damage! Even in The Great Chicago Fire most of the structural integrity of those terribly burned buildings remained intact. Building 7 was a controlled demolition just like the other two buildings, and since it takes WEEKS even MONTHS to set up the explosives needed to bring those buildings down.
