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.

The mainstream story is inconsistent with everything I know about physics, strengh of materials, momentum, energy transfer. Building 7 is the smoking gun. There is no plausible explanation besides a controlled demolition. The explosives could not have been planted without government involvement. That BBC reported the collapse 25min early implicates the entire media and their cooperation. Shanksville is almost laughable with total absence of debris, and a ridiculously small hole.

As the dreadful events on 9/11/2001 unfolded I was keenly aware that I was watching a planned spectacle, much like the Kennedy assassination. It was poorly coordinated, in my opinion, because there were so many glaring inconsistencies with the common assumption that we were under attack (an opinion formed too quickly and too emphatically to evade close scrutiny), such as the very obvious fact that two jet planes under human pilot control could not strike such relatively narrow targets so consistently (the first one I almost accepted as blind luck, but when the second hit in just the same way I knew they were electronically guided). The really obvious thing for me was the ill-disguised detonations timed (poorly in my opinion) to suggest that it was the planes that brought down the towers when this was not possible. I remember remarking to my engineer colleagues that there was no way the buildings would collapse: They withstood impact and the thick black smoke was clear indication that the fires were oxygen-starved and relatively cool (well below the melting point of steel). Sounds of explosions could be heard over several news feeds, each building collapsed in a very rapid and controlled way, and the demolitions were performed too soon after the planes struck. A third building, much smaller than the towers, was brought down even though it was not hit. I am sure there were good reasons for bringing it down, but did the people who did this really think no one would notice?

People who accept the official conspiracy theory can argue that the twin towers had significant structural damage due to the impact of the aircraft, however no such significant damage was sustained by building #7. The controlled demolition of building #7 is the undeniable evidence that the attacks of September 11 2001 were the result of an inside job. The video record clearly shows the very top portion of building # 7 cave in despite the fact that the small fires many attribute as the cause of the collapse were many many floors below.

The surviving evidence on WTC collapse, namely: * Photographs of WTC on September 11, and Ground Zero afterward * Videos of the attack * Seismic records from the Palisades station * Evidence of persistent underground fires at Ground Zero * Limited metallurgical examination of the structural steel * Analysis of samples of dust that settled around Ground Zero * Firefighter reports documented by audiotape * The apparent admission by Building 7's landlord that the FDNY demolished Building 7. All point incontrovertibly to a planned, controlled demolition of all these structures.

Watching the WTC twin towers destruction, live on television, I was of course shocked thinking of the lives that were lost at that moment. I also thought that the engineers that constructed the building must have made a terrible structural error. Two months ago I saw a video of WTC 7 for the first time from the events on 9/11/2001, and I got an awful feeling. I realized immediately that I was watching a preplanned destruction of the building. What was shown was simply not something that a terrorist organization could accomplish. The only organization that had the sophistication to pull off what happened on 9/11 are sitting in the White House in Washington D.C. This compelled me to search on the internet to learn more about the events surrounding 9/11. It is too obvious that the facts presented by ae9/11truth.org and 911truth.org are a frightening reality that one day, all of us must accept. The question to answer now is; what can I do about it? As an individual there is little I can do, especially when the Congress of the United States are somehow controlled and manipulated. As a member of a group, we may be able to take action that will save the United States of America from a future far away from peace, freedom, and democracy.

I would be pleased to meet with other United Kingdom Truthers and perhaps organize lectures or talks.
After his visit to America, a doctor friend of mine told me about the demolition theory and WTC7. Although I respect him, I thought he was nuts. However, when I did my own research on the internet and saw WTC7 come down, I was shaken to the core. I was absolutely stunned, horrified and to be quite honest, fearful. I emailed everyone I knew. However, I am stunned by the apathy I find. I feel this has to be the most serious event for the world since the second world war if this is an 'inside job'. We are all victims of disinformation on an Orwellian scale.

The evidence presented by Richard Gage and his team is compelling. It demonstrates that the 9/11 Commission, for whatever reason, did not adequately address the event of September 11, 2001, particularly with respect to the three building collapses that occurred that day. A new investigation is required.

I found this site after watching the movie Zeitgeist in December 2007 (zeitgeistmovie.com). I can't believe that it has taken me this long to become truly skeptical of the official story. I had even forgotten about WTC 7, which is the most obvious chink in their armor.

There were 47 core support columns of extremely robust design. What happened to them? It is inconceivable to me that they just fell apart due to fire from a plane collision that occurring 70+ stories above their base. There is way too much evidence of explosives in the buildings on 911. Visual, audio and first person testimony all say that their were multiple explosions yet the theory of explosives being involved in the collapse has never been officially delved into. There is something wrong with this picture.

Ironically, I was employed there on 9/11.
Part of the cover up lies in the design of buildings 1 and 2. The obvious demolition style collapse of building 7 is much harder to ascertain in buildings 1 and 2 because of their exterior structure. If the basement columns were intentionally sheared then the fall would have been masked by the vertical exterior lines of the structure moving vertically. This is an optical illusion impossible with buildings having standard windows or noticeable articulation. I've watched video of the collapse many times and it is impossible to tell if the floors pancaked, collapsed all the way down or if it had a demolition style collapse.

I worked as an architectural draughtsman while studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago - earning a Master of Fine Arts degree. Have worked as an architectural draughtsman and have designed and built several residential structures.
The official U.S. Government explanation for the collapse of the towers and bldg.#7 say that once the structure had been weakened by the plane crashes and fires, and the connections had failed, the buildings became the victims of the physics of gravity. By the laws of statics, gravity provides a vertical force vector pointing straight down toward the center of the earth. Whence came the horizontal force vectors which explain the ejection of steel beams and whole sections of the structural exoskeleton, weighing many tons, 300, 400, even 500 feet away from the skyscrapers???

In reference to the horrifying occurrence on 09/10/01. The collapse of the buildings seemed then as does it now seem so carefully planed that I am astounded that the majority of America has not demanded a thorougher examination of that terrible day. The way they fell seems so astoundingly simple as a planed demolition that there must be a whole lot of inside planning on this that I am ashamed of the reaction of Americans to this. Either we look deeper or we fall the way Orwell wrote in his book 1984. This is as scary to me as it might have been to the Russians over the collapse of the U.S.S.R..

I have also taken critical thinking course, and other relevant course material. Additionally, I have taken, biology, chemistry, psychology, anatomy and physiology, as well as college level Algebra. I should have my associate's degree by next semester.[[tab]]I think scientifically and I question anything that doesn't make sense!
The events of September 11th 2001, don't make logical sense to me! First off, how does a 110 story building fall at free fall speed in the direction of most resistance? Logical explanation: demolition charges we in the building prior to that memorable date. I think that even the date it was planned for is part of the cover-up. Speaking from psychology stand point, 911 is a number that people do not forget. Building number 7 was an obvious demolition! It takes many hours, or days to plan and implosion and set up the demolition equipment. Could it have been done in only a few hours? No' I am not going to spend all day writing a case study on 911, as that would take me more than a day to write. What I do demand as an American is that we reopen this tragedy and bring the true criminals to justice. September 11th was no terrorist attack as far as I can see. There is much more supporting evidence to denounce that claim.. REOPEN 911, the people need to know!

I have worked side by side with hydrologists, engineers, architectural engineers, consultants, consulting firms, and other engineering staff.
After seeing the implosion, it appears as though there are bombs on the first floor and in various other areas of the building. In order for it to collapse the way it did, I would be very concerned about that, and the fact that so many other people witnessed hearing other explosions, on the lower levels.

In all my education, research and life experience - I have never been so determined, disciplined & focused to expose, at the very least, the most obvious and deep-rooted all-encompassing bewildering incompetence & negligence if not, the most outrageous & heinous corruption of public & democratic bodies, in the 3 main investigations of 9/11 (FEMA, 9/11 Commission, NIST) such is the motivation these events have given me. The evidence screams of controlled demolition (for all 3 towers) - yet none of these investigations would touch the subject?! Now, with the forensic evidence & clear chain of custody presented by Dr. Steven Jones (et al), it is imperative we get a full and independent scientific investigation (even though a full forensic investigation is already a legal requirement of such air crashes!) And the court cases against those suspected of treasonous involvement - no matter where or how high this leads! I believe towers WTC 1 & 2 were brought down by controlled demolition in a top-to-bottom fashion by explosives rigged in the two weeks prior to 9/11 and that tower WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition in a bottom-up fashion by explosives rigged on the morning & afternoon of 9/11, planted specially in floors 1-8 but also right to the top.

As part of my personal interest in bridges and earthquake-related structural failures (I was in Oakand, one mile from the Cypress Freeway collapse in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake), I often read the typical engineering analyses done to understand the causes of such failures. I waited in vain for something definitive to be published on the WTC building collapses, and was appalled at the poor quality of the NIST report. This led me to conclude that there may be something to the claims of the 9/11 Truthers after all - which I had had a hard time believing up to that point. Richard Gage and the countless thousands of people who have been accumulating the evidence and telling the 9/11 story deserve the gratitude of the world for their efforts to get at truth. We must find out what really happened, and why.

After watching How the Towers Fell with Richard Gage at the University of Manitoba, it is clear to me that these 3 buildings were brought to the ground with explosives and not by the effects of fire. The official report failed to mention numerous key pieces of evidence that shows this and a new independent investigation should commence to reveal the true manor in which these the WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapsed.

It is my belief that anyone who has done their homework regarding the building collapse on September 11 can only come to the conclusion that something else facilitated the collapse of the buildings. America demands a 3rd party review all incidences during 9/11.
