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.

While I watched the first WTC building collapse, I noted to my friend, That looked like a 'planned demolition.' I got the term wrong but the concept right. It was only after the US government issued its official pronouncements that I was convinced there was a problem. The 9-11 Commission seemed to base its operating procedure on a Warren Commission model: don't look at what you don't want to find and misinterpret what you're forced to look at.

Only an elementary understanding of physics and the properties of materials is needed to understand that the official story cannot be true. Furthermore, a very clear case has been presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- AE911Truth.org -- that the buildings were brought down by other means. The American public needs to be informed. We have been caught up in a massive disinformation campaign and are suffering from an identity crisis. We can no longer remain deaf, dumb and blind to this.

The symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I have a bachelors degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Rhode Island. For over 5 years I have researched and designed with specific architectural structures such as geodesic domes. I am fascinated by architecture in space and understanding how to make the structures the most efficient and sustainable.
I became aware of the 9/11 issue when a former classmate told me his engineering professor claimed that the WTC7 collapse was the result of a controlled demolition. Since then I have researched many documentaries and studies presenting evidence that this indeed was the case. I believe a thorough investigation should be demanded and done immediately. I personally believe the Bush administration had full responsibility and most likely executed the idea and fabricated the account in the media. I must say it's nice to finally see the mainstream media shed some light on the matter.

I saw with my own eyes, and photographed, the WTC collapse from a Brooklyn balcony. From what I witnessed on 9/11 and the images recorded on tape available from several sources, I can reasonably conclude that the planes that crashed into the towers were NOT the cause of their collapse. There is too much doubt about the official story published in the media for a thorough, neutral investigation not to take place. Until our country is willing to question its leaders and openly challenge their statements we will not be free. We demand an investigation about the toppling of the WTC immediately.

I'm a college graduate with a B.S. degree in Air Transportation Management. I started my flight training when I was 19 years old and got my private pilots license when I was 20. Over the last couple of years, I started learning about the Illumanati and conspiracy when I join the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps about two years ago. One of the members told me to look up the trilateral commission. From that point on, my whole view of the world changed.
Once the top part of the twin towers started to fall, they would of continued to tip to the side, then they would of fallen to the ground (that's common sense and basic physics). But, because of explosives below the fall line, the top of the buildings continued to fall straight down through the building with no resistance what so ever. Will someone please ask President George Bush, if he's so worried about Al-Qaeda and more attacks on America, then why are all of our borders wide open for anyone and/or anything to come across at anytime? Just after the attacks, our airports were secured with national guards and there was no debate about it. Yet, he and congress still debate to this day about closing and securing our borders. The reason they are open is because 9/11 was an inside job.

I am a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center (class of 2005). I have been researching the events of 9/11 for over 5 years.
I was in Manhattan, at school, on 9/11. That morning, I was with my friend Nate, from Boston. As we both watched the buildings fall, he realized his mother was on one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. After doing my own research into these events, I have found many inconsistencies in the official government story of what happened that day. I believe we need a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. The speech that Mr. Gage gave at Manitoba University is the most concise explanation of my opinions on the WTC collapse. I hope someone can make a similar video on the Pentagon crash.

I have a degree in combined studies, that includes Chemistry, achieved at the University of Glamorgan, Wales (Former mining polytechnic college). (1994-97). I have also worked for several years as a lab technician with various types of cements and concretes, including three months testing the compression strength of concrete used in the building of blocks of flats. ( I witnessed hundreds of tests on the concrete up to the point of failure and do not remember much fine powder as a result, there were however many shards ranging from the mm to cm size ).
I am very concerned with the way World Trade Center 7 collapsed. It seems to me almost impossible that fires could cause such symmetrical failure when fires shouldn't rationally be able to cause the failure of any part of the structure let alone all of the structure at exactly the same time. I need a new investigation to explain this (maybe demolition experts can plant enough explosives in a burning building in 8 hours to bring it down as we saw). I have read and seen much more conflicting evidence about other aspects of 9/11 and I am not content with the official story, but as I have no first hand evidence (e.g saw explosives being used) my suspicions on the events that day rest on the video evidence of the collapse of WTC7. The odds of such a symmetrical collapse due to natural processes (i.e not manipulated) are so unrealistically long that I see this as the achilles heel of the official account, and if there is no sufficient explanation it implies complicity by someone with the clearance to enter the building. We need to know how and who.

I have been an Arizona State Senator for four years. Before that I served in the AZ House of Representatives for 8 years. Don't ask me how this happened -- I much prefer being a mother and homemaker. My husband, Jerry, and I have 11 children and 33 grandchildren. But I am concerned that our Constitution is being whittled away in small pieces and that we are at a critical point in our history, especially with the events of 9/11. So I find myself neck-deep in politics. I hope I have done some good.
More than six years after 9/11, we still have not had a thorough investigation of the causes of that tragedy. I am so impressed by the research of Dr. Steven Jones, Frank Legge, Tony Szamboti, David Ray Griffin, and so many others. My concern deepens every time I read a new article. As the evidence of controlled demolition mounts, my desire for a new investigation increases. I want to add my voice to the voices of AE for 911 Truth.

These are so obviously collapses, we need to put the collapses on public access TV constantly until people realize that planes do not collapse steel buildings in a free-fall. They need to know that certain people are evil enough to kill people for money and war.

The officially distributed version of events does not add up scientifically or logically. Anyone who has ever seen controlled demolitions of buildings, can see that these were textbook examples of professional controlled demolitions. How come Mark Loiseaux and Controlled Demolitions Inc. (CDI) was on scene so quickly with all flights shut down right after? Major news outlets ( BBC, Fox and CNN) all announced the collapse of WTC 7 ( as well as specific details: the 47 story Salomon Brother Building has also collapsed, due to fires) far in advance of the actual collapse - proving foreknowledge and indicating that a cover story was being fed to the media. The alleged phone calls from the plane from the FBI inspector General's wife, speaking of hijackers with box cutters ( the source of that part of the myth), were impossible back then: cell phones didn't work at that altitude and there were NO phones on the backs of the seats in that type of plane.

Those sure look like controlled demolitions. Why do other steel skyscrapers burn for hours without collapsing, but all three of these happened to collapse like identical controlled demolitions even though one had not been hit by a plane and two allegedly had? How were the alleged hijackers identified just hours after the Towers fell? The official story is that they were identified from their DNA collected at the site. How could anyone collect their DNA soon after the Towers turned into pulverized dust and molten pools of steel? What base DNA samples would those have been verified against? Someone in Saudi Arabia happened to have DNA samples for all the hijackers on hand and willingly provided it to the US soon after the Towers fell?

I retired from the Air Force over thirty years ago after serving 20 years. I was trained as a B-52 mechanic. During my service as an airplane mechanic, one of our duties was to clean up after an airplane crash which I did after 3 B-52's crashed in Washington state. So, I am familiar with what a crash site looks like. Also I worked in the Pentagon for four years and am somewhat familiar with the security there.
Through the years I have always been interested in viewing large structures that were demolished. The twin towers and building 7 in my opinion were brought down by specialists. Anyone can see that building 7 was a classic pull. The pentagon photos do not show where the wings along with the engines would have hit. It is very difficult to believe that this large airliner would totally disappear into that hole. And where are the other videos from the pentagon?

I have personally attended 3 implosions, and was on a professional video team at the implosion of a bank building here in Honolulu where I was even struck by a hot fragment from a shape charge. I have been a mechanic for 25 years and though not a scientist I have a fundamental understanding of the behavior of metal, and the effect impact and heat have on it. Even with out all the wonderful information on the construction design of World Trade 1 and 2 and building 7 I felt the way they collapsed was certainly a controlled implosion. I also always thought it odd that there were so many well placed video cameras aimed at the Towers that morning.

I fail to understand how the buildings could collapse in the pancake fashion with such precision simply from the structural integrity of the steel of the upper floors being compromised. I have witnessed several intentional controlled collapses that weren't as precise and straightforward as the WTC collapses seemed to be.

The government conspiracy theory does not hold up to scrutiny. As a professional with over 30 years experience working with gas turbines (jet engines) and fuels - kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn in any open flame hot enough to effect steel - well under 1000 deg F. Also bogus are the explanations regarding why no planes were intercepted. SOP is they are always, always intercepted if they stray off course and/or turn off the transponder like these flights all did. No command decision needed. Has our government ever been untruthful to us?

Seeing it live and talking my own photo's and then going down there and seeing it for myself and helping clean up the mess that was left behind and breathing all that bad air seamed worth it at the time but now with my heath and seeing new evidence about the event has made me wonder that if the terrorist did not do it then who did and why. I don't want to die from this like so many others and not know the truth.
All I want is the whole truth nothing but the truth so help us God!!! And if we as tax payers have to spent 10 billion in building a new tower the same as the old one and slam an aircraft into it again to find the truth then that's what we should do that's not that much more money when you look at all the money we have spent on this illegal War and all the lies.

All of the 9/11 events put forward by the American government is in my opinion the most atrocious crime against mankind in our life time. To me this event marks the day that mass murder of the American people was committed by the people put in place to protect them. mainly the corrupt government. I'm shocked at the way that so many people in this world cnt just open there eye and see that the events of this day according to the so called official story are the biggest most truly shocking lie that has ever been told to the world. If we once again stand by and let these sick people who somehow get voted into power get away with this then we are as sad and as sick as them! bush and blair for war crimes please would love to see this trial concluded. those two towers were demolished that day on purpose for some sick agenda only to line the pockets of the elite.

I was in Romania after the 1977 earthquake, which destroyed and damaged a number of buildings in Bucharest. I saw buildings that had pancaked and know that this is not the process that occurred with the WTC buildings. I support the call for an independent investigation because the public needs to understand what actually happened and the perpetrators must face justice.

I sublet my apartment in NY to an Israeli who suddenly left town the day before 9/11. The apartment, a few blocks North, had a full view of the Trade Center out the back window which could have been useful. He acted strangely throughout the time he rented from me, made six hundred phone calls in one month, which led me to believe Israel knew all about the attack, possibly set it up, and that we also let it happen, so that we could open season on Arabs in general, and attack Iraq in particular.

Executive Director of PACT: Partnering Artists Children Teachers, a contracted vendor w/ NYCDOE integrating arts education into the core curriculum. I was at ground zero two days after the disaster developing strategies w/ faith based organizations, looking at where to begin. And I did, indeed, wade through the 4 of dust, wondering: where are the people. My focus was the trauma of what the children saw and the impact on their families. Later that year my company provided non-curriculum driven workshops through Project Liberty to identify those with PTSD in elementary schools with respect to the disaster. These were funded by FEMA and sponsored by Hillary Clinton. I've added directing domestic and international students on educational and artistic trips to NYC. They all ask to see ground zero which I take them. I only reflect on my personal experience while living here when the collapse happened. My son, an ex-Marine, is at Illinois Institute of Technology studying architectural engineering and sent me this link.
I have never felt comfortable with any of the stories or 'facts' relating to the disaster. I have asked many many questions and have felt more questions rising than answers. I had seen 'conspiracy' theories tapes of the controlled explosions and was generally ignored by anyone who I was trying to engage in a conversation with. My concern is this is deeper than the collapse, which is too unbearable. Now this documented and highly articulated lecture has moved me to believe my gut. Thank you for your research and finding the people who were there, the ones who spoke out despite their consequences and the hundreds of hours involved in compiling the information.

Tom Breidenbach is a poet, writer and adjunct university professor who is working on a book based on his research on 9/11. He is also a witness to a number of the events of that day, including the collapse of the North Tower as well as WTC Building Seven. From his fifth-floor walk-up East Village apartment he also heard the first plane fly over Manhattan and smash into the North Tower.
I witnessed WTC Building Seven fall on the afternoon of 9/11. Everyone in the vicinity I was in (about seven blocks north of the WTC, on the west side of the West Side Highway, just across from temporary police headquarters at Borough of Manhattan Community College) knew that the building was going to fall for perhaps twenty minutes before it did. We'd heard and passed on the rumor that they're going to bring it down and were staring expectantly at the building when it crumbled so perfectly into itself.

I have been in the mechanical and electrical field of repair and modification for about 12 years. I have worked closely with engineers of many disciplines. I was in the military for 4 years. I have been involved in the root cause analysis of many accidents. Some of failed structural steel and other composite materials. I have studied metallurgy and what can cause fatigue in metals. I have also studied the live and dead load of flooring and the stresses caused by each to different materials used.
Steel buildings do not naturally collapse in the manner that was witnessed on 9-11. It is not possible that 2 would have collapsed in the same manner, yet we are told to believe that 3 collapsed in that manner. (within their own footprint and at near-free fall speed) We have had much smaller incidents that have been better studied than this world changing event. It has lead to laws being passed and conflicts with at least 2 nations. Yet the study of this incident has been incomplete and in most cases compiled of flawed testing... which is shameful.

I don't have any engineering biography, however I do know a little about physics. No way can those buildings, the way they were built, come down like that.
Came down too fast for them not to be a controlled demolition. My friend works in the buildings as a janitor. He heard explosions before the first plane hit. It was a government job, through and through. Big government cover up, just like with Kennedy.

The evident demolition of WTC 7 on September 11th 2001, is the sore spot of one horrific day that strongly suggests that all three individual attacks on the United States need to be re-investigated. It is almost a treasonous act not to ask why WTC 7 is not included in the so called 'official' 911 commission report. It is like entering a crime scene and leaving the murder weapon with all finger prints out of the official report.
