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've been into how things work since I was young. I've built small things. When I got to HS I got into drafting, metal shop, fixing computers, chem 2 and physics. After HS I got into College where one of my classes was physics. I know that no matter what failed things will not free fall like they did.
Most people didn't hear about the side step explosions and hr before the planes were even close. All the people that were involved in building and maintenance of the buildings were swept under the carpet. (UL employee, Bank IT engineer that observed strange things happening the month before it happened.)

The free-fall collapse of the fire protected steel-frame structure of World Trade Center #7 could not have been caused by the limited structural damage and office fires which were observed prior to collapse. The actual scientific/forensic evidence (i.e. Thermate particles in the dust and molten steel during debris extraction), calls into question the official 9/11 Commission report (NIST) and points to a professionally controlled demolition by incendiary devices.

I have particular interest in the advancement of reliability in structural engineering, advanced modelling and response spectrum analysis and recently BIM integration. I enjoy 3-D visualisation techniques and video presentations in CAD of civil and building structures, particularly linear referencing.
On the one hand they are trying to convince us that the impact from the planes did not generate adequate dynamic energy to deform the buildings, but on the other hand they think we are stupid enough to believe that the mass of the collapsing building was sufficient to cause the progressive collapse that resembled that due to explosives.

I find it staggering that anybody believes the lies published by the official WTC collapse report. We all have a degree of common sense and make daily decisions based on perceptions of gravity, mass and balance. The official report throws all this common sense out of the window and asks that we believe a physically impossible option. You do not have to be university trained to understand that a huge amount of energy was required to destroy the undamaged elements of the WTC buildings. The only energy they claim was gravity + mass of the damaged building - no way. Lets not forget that the strongest part of the build was the base.

It is my conviction that the America public does not know the entire truth about the events on 9/11. Furthermore, that the evidence of a cover up is so compelling, we must relentlessly pursue the truth at all cost. Finally, if it is determined that anyone in USA, be they private or governmental in nature, are in any way responsible for the attacks on 9/11, it will be the greates travesty in the history of our country.

WTC tower 1, 2 and 7 could not have collapsed by fires the way we saw without extra auxiliaries as ieg. explosives. NIST could not have explained the collapses at all and it has left the official explanations to private persons who have failed too. The last attempt was done by Dr. Seffen from Cambridge University (UK) (http://www.exodus2006.com/911seffen.htm), but his paper can be debunked to be false.

My employers have included Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, GE Aircraft Engines, Teledyne CAE, Raytheon, USNavy Civil Service, Detroit Diesel Allison, Cummins Engine Company, and Hillenbrand Inc. As a Reliability and Quality Engineer for over 30 years, I was required to consider all of the facts associated with any engineering failure. Disciplines that required my constant awareness are design integrity, manufacturing defects, environmental exposure, life limiting factors, etc.
I was acutely aware of Engineering Cost Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Analysis, with many post graduate courses in these disciplines. My career was heavily biased toward statistical analysis and Warranty Cost Forecasting, requiring me to consider all possibilities, emphasizing the likelihood that the less likely events should be considered less heavily. Perhaps, this is why I was extremely reluctant to even consider the possibility that 9/11 could have been a staged event. What is the chance that our own government could pull that off and get away with it? I pondered. When I was confronted with the facts, and I considered the reality that the temperatures of jet fuel combustion do not support the suggested failure modes posed by the government's official report, I was forced into a paradigm shift. This reality has changed my entire perspective on the groups that I had previously dismissed as emotional, uneducated fools. I was wrong and I am grateful to the 9/11 Truthers for holding me accountable for the Truth! Now, I too am a 9/11 Truther. The facts about the collapse of three WTC buildings on 9/11/2001 just do not support the theory posed by the PBS Report, or the US Government's publication. There must be further explanation to satisfy my hunger for the truth about the horrible realities of the WTC and Pentagon murders. As an engineer, as a patriot, as citizen of the United States of America, I demand that the government which is accountable to its citizens appoint an independent commission to investigate and report on the Truth of 9/11/2001.

I sat riveted for over two and 1/2 hours listening and watching the presentation by Mr. Richard Gage, AIA. The concise information on the twin towers and especially building 7, caused me to reevaluate the 911 Commission report. Unfortunately, that conclusion caused me to be quite concerned at the direction that the thought process then takes you. At the very least, the disaster must be investigated with new eyes on the nature and causes of the building loss and the loss of life. Who or what is responsible? How could it have been done? What part did the planes really have in the collapse? I don't know but would like more answers.

Steel is 'STRONG'. Symmetrical, free-fall speed collapse is impossible and illogical. I cannot accept the 911 Commission or NIST explanations. Let alone all of the non-technical facts about underfunding, lying, cover-up, decoy military training events, etc.

It is impossible to ignore the profound body of evidence that those Towers were not brought down by those planes. Even more incredulous is the impossibility of the WTC 7 building being so rapidly symmetrically demolished by a simple building fire started by the flying debris from the Twin Tower. The brave firefighters, the poor people in the Towers and this Nation deserve to know the truth - must know the truth.

It appears that there is very surprising information about the possible destruction mechanism of the Twin Towers that has not been made public by the government. The implications of possible intentional and deliberate destruction of the towers by explosion are tremendous, and very disturbing. The notion of a government cover-up and involvement in the tragedy is still very hard to believe, although the evidence from the video on YouTube is hard to ignore. Therefore, I believe a full and proper investigation should be mounted to uncover the true facts and assign responsibility to the perpetrators.

When I watched the Towers come down on TV, I had no reason to doubt the official story. I started having doubts months later as more details were released and it became obvious there were many, many unlikely coincidences. Now the official story seems ridiculous.

I never knew that there was a third tower that came down about the same time as the twin towers, but your video changed that. I also saw the evidence you presented and realized that the explanation given by the government can not be true. We need to find out what actually happened.

I totally agree that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by using some sort of explosives no way would they fall like that. The twin towers would of never fell down by just a plane hitting into them ! I agree it is a government conspiracy which we need to get to the bottom of it. It makes me so angry the evidence has been hidden away. It is only a matter of time till the truth does come out and it certainly will. Then justice can be served. Rest in peace to everybody who lost their Lives on that day September 11 2001.

"Build ing 7 freefall, classic demo, not hit by aircraft, firedept told the owner of the lease, ""we are going to pull it"", another classic term in demolition work, ... a statement caught on camera. It was a controlled demo, no doubt in my mind. This was the first thought that came to mind, especially building 7. The collapse was announced in England 20 minutes before it happened. The owner was on the news saying the fire department said we are going to 'pull it' then the fire department got out and the building was brought down by explosions. Odd that Obama does not want the relatives to be able to sue the Saudi's because they were only the cover story. We sued Gaddafi for Lockerbie, but he was directly responsible."

Simply comparing an acknowledged controlled demolition to building 7 should be enough proof of a description by the media and government for anyone with an IQ over room temperature.The twin tower destruction of pulverized concrete never made sense to me.
