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 studied the videos of the collapse of the WTC towers. I'm convince that explosions brought those structures down. The towers were pulverized. How can you not believe your own eyes? One can see the buildings exploding. Firemen reported they heard explosions going off at every floor.

It makes no sense that steel structures would collapse symmetrically into their own footprint at free fall speeds due to an airplane hit. In the case of Building 7, there is no apparent cause for collapse. Controlled demolition using thermite appears to be a much more likely explanation for the collapse of the WTC buildings.

The nature of the buildings' collapses alone raises so many questions from the perspective of scientific plausibility that I believe it justifies another better, sensible and comprehensive examination of how precisely the towers collapsed. Add to that additional doubts about so many other aspects of the 9/11 official narrative (from whether the President saw the first tower hit on TV to how terrorists could take such advantage of the surfeit of war games on that day), and I think there's no doubt we're in need of serious inquiry.

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.

Critical thinker and mechanical engineer from an accredited university, but my high school physics class was sufficient to help me understand that asymmetrical damage from office fires does not cause perfectly symmetrical total collapse of a building not even hit by an airplane. My career has been largely in medical device, and I have made it (so far) into the top 200 of a 7 billion dollar corporation with over 20,000 employees. So my experience is less relevant than, say, an architect, but I haven't forgotten the fundamentals of physics, statics and dynamics, materials, pattern recognition, etc. There is so much plain sight evidence, I cannot understand how the majority of Americans believe what they are told to believe. They made so many mistakes in orchestrating this tragedy.
Asymmetrical damage does not cause perfectly symmetrical collapse and the vaporization of 3 buildings. Who benefited? Who was in charge of security? Why was opium production restored in Afghanistan soon after? Wake up America!!

I don't understand how the Towers would fall at all. If they would fall, how did it happen so fast? Finally, I don't understand what caused the other building to fall that wasn't hit by the planes.

It is very clear that the building was destroyed via a demolition. Buildings 1, 2, and 7 were in near free fall. This would be nearly impossible if the buildings were not demolished. Building 7 also seems to have imploded onto itself, another example of demolition.

Without a doubt, building 7 is the smoking gun. Furthermore, when you look at every available energy source at play - the kinetic energy of the plane, the chemical energy of the fuel, the chemical energy of the contents of the offices - it simply does not add up to even conservative estimates of what has been captured on film.

I have heard numerous reports on how the plane was not a commercial plane. I have seen comparisons of footage, in which there appeared to be contradictory information: the one plane went steeply downwards, and the other one (representing the same plane crashing on the same building) went a horizontal path. I also suspect explosives were used.

From a purely scientific perspective, nothing about the Towers' collapse makes sense to me. Add that to the traces of highly sophisticated nanothermitic particles in the dust, the strength of a steel framed building, and the subsequent wars being carried out by the US as a result of these lies, and there's a very serious problem brewing.

I worked primarily as a microwave antenna engineer, starting first at the Georgia Tech Experiment Station where I was involved with the design and testing of radar antennas. I next went to Scientific Atlanta, working in their antenna group primarily on earth station design, manufacture and testing. Later I went to the Harris Corp. in Melbourne, Florida where I worked on various types of earth stations and satellite antennas. I was primarily an analyst writing and utilizing various Fortran programs. I also did some testing work and supported numerous special projects. I retired in 2004 and now spend as much of my time as possible studying physics and math topics. My primary interest is in relativity and cosmology.
When I first viewed the collapse of the Twin Towers and, later, Building 7, my first thoughts were that these were controlled demolitions. It was difficult for me to understand how these buildings could be brought down so quickly. Building 7, I thought, was especially strange since it had not even been hit by an airplane. I think my confusion about what I saw grew into skepticism over time as I learned of more and more inconsistencies with the facts and the official story. I saw the presentations that indicated the buildings were essentially in free fall (and symmetrical!) which reinforced my growing conviction that controlled demolition had to be in play. The rapid removal of all the material from the site also caused me to think that a cover up was ongoing. 'Loose Change' was an excellent summary of the events and, recently, I viewed the 'Scientific Method' presentation prepared by AE911Truth. After viewing this presentation I have moved from 'I think there was controlled demolition' to 'no doubt about it, there was definitely controlled demolition.' The facts you present are simply overwhelming. And I feel quite confident that I know who did it via means, opportunity, and motive. No names, but obviously (to me anyway) it was done by someone who does this for a living and has (virtually unlimited) access to skilled people and technology. Kind of narrows down the field a little. But I like your approach, determine how it happened first. And I have endeavored to emulate your approach and try and remain objective, review all the facts (or lack of facts) presented on both sides and try to verify everything to the extent that I am capable.

My first clue that there was something fishy in the official conspiracy theory came the first time I saw the building collapse. At the time I was teaching thermodynamics at Young Harris College, and it occurred to me that the horizontal propulsion of concrete dust and gas (air) could not be the consequence of gravitational force of the collapse. For one thing, the gas and dust blew out horizontally even before the building had began to descend significantly, and the force of the horizontal ejection was much greater than could be explained by the compression of the pulverized matter due to the vertical collapse. In short, I was confronted with either rejecting the ideal gas law and Newton's third law or rejecting the official explanation -- an easy choice.

I was trained as a physicist and worked as an engineer on mainly DOD projects for about 8 years until I could not take designing death weapons any more. At that point I made the transition into hybridizing my technical training with business positions.
The official position is that fire and gravity were the only two physical factors involved in the collapse of WTC 1 and 2. Since the big bang and until the end of time, gravity acts [acted/will act] down, down toward the center of the earth. So how can the horizontal propulsion of girders [and assemblies] weighing from 10 to 50 tons be explained by gravitational force which only acts DOWN? The only way that massive steel chunks could be blasted 600 feet radially from both towers was by powerful explosive propulsion! This absolutely puts the lie to the official story!

The report on the destruction of the WTC is contrary to Newton's Physical Laws of Inertia. It is a physical impossibility for the Towers to have collapsed in the method described by the 9/11 Commission Report. The physical evidence was illegally removed from the crime scene. One can infer, just from the removal and destruction of the physical evidence, that a massive cover up was being staged. Numerous Federal laws concerning evidence were violated without any subsequent prosecution. The NTSB did not reconstruct the aircraft that struck the Towers. Certainly the engines still existed as the fires from the kerosene are not hot enough to melt them. This is evidential as engines do not melt off of the wings of aircraft in flight while using kerosene as their fuel. This was the first time and the last time that the NTSB failed to attempt to reconstruct an air disaster. The NTSB went out of their way to recover as much wreckage of the Space Shuttle Challenger from the Ocean Floor as they could. The NTSB went out of their way to collect the wreckage of Space Shuttle Columbia and reconstruct it. This happened AFTER the WTC collapses. Obviously policy did not change. The excuse that the aircraft were destroyed just does not hold up to scrutiny. I have demonstrated that the engines would have survived.. The previous listed example is just one of the many inconsistencies with the Official Story. So I implore you to reopen the investigation to restore credibility to the word of the United States Government.

Although extremely discomfiting, I find the evidence presented by AE911Truth to be compelling, especially the metallurgical/explosives analyses and the physics of the building collapses (most obviously Tower 7). It is critical that the truth of the events of 9/11/01 be established, starting with a widely-established scientific consensus regarding the buildings' destruction, and following the evidence wherever it leads. While it is important that our government leaders be informed and motivated, there are obvious potential conflicts of interest in a government-sponsored investigation.

I have worked in health care and in research for over two decades, and also have training in medical physics.
As a researcher and a health scientist/professional, I am troubled and greatly saddened by the suffering and loss of life and health resulting from the events of 9/11. I am even more troubled by how easy it was to discount clear and convincing scientific evidence of how this disaster happened and how easy it was to sell official conclusions that defy the laws of physics and chemistry, to the media and public. Perhaps the poor showing of US students on math and science scores internationally was by design - how else could such an explanation even be presented to the public expecting it would be accepted? It boggles the mind. Moreover, I feel that the scientific community, especially architects and engineers, have suffered a harm that is akin to rape - and even worse, a rape at the hands of peers. How can another building ever be designed or built in the US until an explanation based on truth and science is released and accepted by the public? How can we assure those who work in steel buildings that an office fire will not cause their entire building to collapse at near the rate of free fall, when there is an official report stating that this, in fact, is what happened on 9/11, not once, but three times! I performed a small 'thought' experiment one morning while listening to a documentary on 9/11 - I tried to make my bed in less than 10 seconds. I wasn't able to do it. Yet 3 high rise building were able to collapse neatly in less than that time due to 'fire'. It defies not only scientific explanation, but also logic and common sense.

I have always had a penchant for physics and I have taken some physics and astronomy classes in high school and college.
The day of 9/11/2001, I sat with a friend watching the events unfold on the T.V. I knew as I watched it happening that something was not right; that buildings do not look like that as they simply collapse; and that buildings do not collapse at all from isolated fires. I did some research after the event and was vindicated to see that others knew the things I knew; and more so that these others were not simply conspiracy theorists, but architects and engineers, who could put scientific, factual explanations for the things I only knew through intuition and common sense.

I am concerned about the official story that ignores basic principles of physics, basic laws of motion as well as basic properties of relevant materials that suggest very compelling counterhypotheses to the official story of what happened in the main two World Trade Centre buildings and WTC Building 7. I am concerned that large volumes of material evidence were destroyed right after the event. I am highly concerned that large amounts of evidence - chemical, mechanical and eye witness evidence refutes the official explanation that the Twin Towers collapsed due to the impact and burning of two hijacked airplanes and their fuel, and the collapse of Building 7 due to widespread scattered fires. I am highly concerned about the lack of any evidence refuting the much more consistent explanation that the buildings were brought down at near free fall by means of very organized explosives and incendiary devices that must have been placed throughout the buildings before hand. Given this evidence I am also highly concerned about the integrity of the investigations that were conducted and reports produced by NIST and other official bodies after the event. As a member of the international scientific community I support the efforts of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth who are calling for a thorough scientific and judicial inquiry into how these buildings were really brought down as well as the role of the American administration and their official bodies that failed to follow the basic principles and required protocols of a thorough investigation of an event with such massive effects resulting in the deaths, and severe impacts on health and security of hundreds of thousands of individuals both in the U.S. and globally. I am aware of high quality medical studies published in prestigious peer reviewed medical journals documenting the degree of morbidity and mortality affecting hundreds of thousands of lives impacted by the events of 9/11 in both the US and globally in countries such as Iraq. I believe this further underlines the need for a true understanding of what happened for the entire New York and indeed American and international communities. One such study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine documenting the increase in prevalence of PTSD in New York City following the collapse of the Towers. This important paper documented the great impact that this incident had on the broader NYC community immediately after its occurrence.

WTC Bldg. 7 falling into it's own footprint so quickly assures me that it was controlled demolition. The three steel buildings fell due to fire for the first time in history.

Three mysteries still exist about 9/11: - the plane crashed on the Pentagon left nothing but a hole in the building, a hole of a cockpit size whereas gas is in the wings - the way the Towers fell looks impossible without an inside help, - Building 7 has not been touched by planes.

Evidence shows blowout before each floor collapsed. This coupled with the straight down fall and the fact that the building with the fewest floors to prep going first indicates supposition.

Per the evidence presented, which seems obviously valid, like video footage, it appears obviously clear to anyone with any level of cognizance, that the hits on America on 9/11, including on the Pentagon, were an inside job with means of destruction primarily placed on other than airplanes.

I went through about six years of college at various community colleges, and finally at S.F. State University. I left school, to get married, about two semesters away from obtaining my B.S. Degree in Physics. I currently have my own electrical contracting business in the S.F. bay area. I am involved daily with many forms of electrical control and troubleshooting.
I have been reviewing all different forms of data, both video and written, for the past month or so. At first, I was hoping to disprove somehow that the fall of the Twin Towers and Building 7, was somehow not a controlled demolition due to the alternative reason which would be implicated therein. The more I looked at all the evidence the more I was convinced that it indeed was a controlled demolition. My belief of this fact has become a knowing now. I strongly believe that the story the world was given flies fully in the face of physics...as well as any logic or reason.

Ex-Navy ET, professional Designer and Web Developer. I have been doing independent research and study in numerous fields and on a wide assortment of topics, including 9/11, for going on 2 years now.
I watched 9/11 happen live from the barracks while I was still enlisted, didn't quite believe what was going on then, certainly don't believe any of the falsified 'evidence' in the 'official' stories now. Anyone without an extreme case of denial can see when comparing evidence, video footage, and various testimony from eyewitnesses and professionals around the world alike that those buildings were purposely demolished. I believe the entire affair was a preposterous sham perpetrated with purposeful intent to deceive the public and further the goals of various special interests.

I will be starting my 3rd year in a Physics BS program at the University of New Mexico next fall (2013).
Although I still have more to learn about physics (and engineering), and knew nothing about physics back in 2001, one thing is clear - the destruction of the WTC Towers is highly suspect due to the controlled nature of the collapses.
