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 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

We deserve the truth about what happened on 9/11. It shocked and shaped every single one of us that witnessed the wanton destruction.There has always been a serious doubt in my mind about the veracity of the claims that this was caused by unskilled pilots. Once I saw the evidence of the destruction of the buildings (and particularly WTC 7) I became convinced that we were not being told the truth.

I am a senior Civil Engineering Technician. I have been involved with land development projects for 22 years. My experience ranges from design, drafting, construction staking, and project management; being involved in all phases of project development; environmental review, plan processing, public hearings, and construction. I have a strong educational backround in physics.
The official story is inconsistent with the laws of physics. There is no scientific explanation for the debris being ejected horizontally; within the official story. The collapses, if the official story were correct, would have been asymetrical in nature, and not likely to have occured within the building footprint. It leaves controlled demolition as the likely explanation.

I am the CEO and driving force behind Turn-key Structural. I have twenty-seven years experience as an engineer, the past eighteen of which have been as an independent consultant. I hold a Bachelor of Science and Engineering degree from Princeton University (1984) and currently hold a license to practice professional engineering in the states of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. During my career, I have developed a specialty in analyzing and addressing residential and commercial buildings with structural problems.
It's taken a long time for me to come to terms with the real possibility that the true causes of the WTC collapses on 9/11 were obscured from the general public and perhaps much worse. I've read the summary arguments based on the physics of the collapses and found them potentially valid. I would like to read the actual studies. It will take a while to understand the modelling enough to critique it, but if people like myself don't take it upon themselves, who will? We must know the truth, because what's left of our democracy depends on it.

Mr Rice has experience in all phases of construction, with over 20 years of experience as the Engineer of Record for design, inspections and construction management of civil, high-end commercial projects, resorts, aviation projects, rockwork projects, industrial projects, multi-year capitol projects, high-end performance venues, pool, spa and water-feature projects, education, healthcare, laboratory and institutional projects. He has provided multi-discipline professional design and construction services at various project levels for civil, structural, MEP, hospitality, commercial and resort/campus-wide systems integration. Mr. Rice's experience has also included providing strategic leadership for the day-to-day operation of both a multi-discipline engineering and a design-build contracting business with multiple locations, managing business and project accounting needs. He has served as a multi-discipline design engineer, QA/QC lead for construction and design services, comprehensive multi-discipline constructability reviewer and as a project manager. He has also served as a construction superintendent, construction administrator, coordinator of consultants, general and subcontractor teams, commissioning manager and agent, project estimator, construction inspector and liaison with owners and 3rd party representatives.
It is my professional opinion as an engineer with over 20 years of experience and a US Army officer combat engineer trained in explosives that the narrative put forth by the main stream media is egregiously in error. The destruction of the twin towers and WTC Building 7 was not as a result of aircraft impacts. The destruction and lives lost are the result of carefully placed demolitions. The truth needs to be disclosed to the public and those responsible for its destruction have a lot to answer for.

Retired, after 42 years as an engineer, CEO of a middle sized company in France, loudly experimented in pre-stressed concrete application. With building, bridges and various construction. Well aware with calculation of steel frame and mechanical characteristics of various materials.
Extremely ashamed, because of my follow up of TV comments at first, despite of my own logic. Glad to see all the refusal of non scientific official version of the collapses. Anxious to received a realistic explanation given by independent and duly accredited organization. Also a bit desperate to see the strength of images transmitted with first comments.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of physics knows that steel will crush aluminum, not the other way around. Even if the planes could have penetrated the buildings, the buildings would have tipped over like a tree, not fallen into their own footprint. The evidence is overwhelmingly against the official story. God bless you, Mr. Gage, for your work

There are a lot of inconsistencies in the stories about the events that happened on this terrible day; from finding intact passports in the debris, to a plane turning into dust when it hit the pentagon. The craziest theory was that building 7 came down due to office fires, when nothing even hit this building, as well as the presence of molten steel at the site. That means that the fires had to have reached at least 2500'F. Jet fuel burns at 1500'F, which could have cause the beams to become ''noodles'' causing the top floors to topple over. The undamaged floors below should have also caused some kind of resistance to the floors falling down but we saw that they didn't.

Having studied marine engineering and worked with metal most of my life,
There are facts that don't support the collapse of steel structures being hit by aluminum planes that can be severely damaged by birds. Plus, a whole lot of other circumstances that don't make any sense, including the amount of fuel and temperatures, fires at the top would have caused the building to fold over sideways not a pancake effect, collapse started from the bottom, not the top. All the metal evidence was removed ASAP and many of the pics and articles that deal with this event are no longer available. They have been removed; I'd say censored even.

I believe enough evidence exists to compel a new investigation into the events of 911. It is clear that NIST official narratives and conclusions offer collapse explanations which defy the laws of physics and therefore belief.Too much time has passed without adequate exposure for the truth of this issue.

As a collective, It's time for the American public to reclaim it's Conscience and a vigilant search for truth. Our liberty depends upon it.

I believe that the official story of 9/11, that three buildings imploded at free fall speed by the impact of two airplanes causing some structural damage or fires, breaks basic physics laws and cannot be true. Along with physical, historical/testimonial evidence there also are other lines of evidence showing government foreknowledge and cover-up. Therefore, our government is lying to us. A truly independent investigation would be helpful if it is possible and even another suppressed and controlled investigation by the Deep State is further evidence of cover-up. I believe criminally pre-planned, controlled demolition is the most likely cause for the three buildings collapse, but the point is we are being systematically lied to. I believe God has given all of us some ability to discern the truth and He will bless those who seek the truth: it is not just for the 'experts.' Do not blindly trust your leaders. There is enough information out there to reach an informed preponderance of evidence conclusion for anyone who desires to find the truth. The problem in coming to believe this 9/11 truth is more psychological or emotional than intellectual; for example, I think it is harder to face the truth of 'evil intent' at the top levels of our government than their 'ability' to blow up some buildings.In my case it was worth examining information and to hear both sides of the story to find the truth. Psychologically coming to terms with what the truth implied comes over time. Knowledge and critical thinking and unity is empowering to the basic citizen, and knowing that your government can be corrupt at the top levels and capable of suppressing the truth, is beneficial

It would be laughable that they have tried to get us to believe their story about the planes, if it weren't for all the people who died in the event, all those who died after, all the people who were sickened by the contamination and the mental damage to all Americans. A lot of people need to go to jail for life and the whole thing needs to come to light for history to see as well.
