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 given collapse report didn't take all available information into account and doesn't explain the collapse itself, just the starting condition (buckling of beams) which itself doesn't look plausible due to wrong boundary conditions (fixed outer shell of WTC 7). Full numerical model of construction should be provided to public for cross-checking.

When you watch the videos and listen to firefighter testimony, it appears that the 3 buildings exploded. If there was a point of failure the building would have toppled asymmetrically and not at free fall speed as the supports below the fires would not have melted. Bones and dust were scattered many blocks away and a collapse does not support this but an explosion would explain it. Why not investigate how the terrorists planted the explosives in the building beforehand? Why not test the dust for thermite or nano-thermite? I would like to know the truth of what has happened. I have moved out of the United States and have converted my dollars to other currency until I can trust those in power again.

I have never seen a skyscraper implode due to fire. Most peculiar is the implosion of WT7, not damaged by an airplane. This building clearly shows evidence of a controlled demolition. I would encourage re-opening an investigation, with emphasis on the Pentagon. This department was not investigated in the previous report.

Degreed Mechanical Engineer, 20 years professional design and manufacturing experience.
WTC 7 was not struck by aircraft, was quite a distance from the falling towers, from photos and video did not seem damaged or extensively on fire yet collapsed in what appears to be a controlled, engineered, pre-planned demolition. This building is the only steel framed skyscraper to ever collapse from fire. A very through investigation should have been performed, instead all steel was controlled and recycled immediately, an act of criminal destruction of evidence. The twin towers collapse is also suspect. Eyewitnesses reporting explosions before the collapse. Also the damaged structure at and above the impact zone should not have been able to collapse the remaining undamaged structure, especially the massively strong central core. The core and outer walls supported the weight of the upper structure, it would have been able to resist the dynamic force of the upper structure falling. There can not be more energy generated dynamically from falling than is present in the potential energy from standing, height x gravity x mass. If the lower supporting structure had been able to support the upper floors for thirty years plus a commercial airliner impact, it would have resisted the dynamic energy because they are the same and the weight of the upper structure has been removed from the lower, that's the only way the upper can fall. Therefore in a non-controlled collapse the top section would have remained in place or fallen and broken into many small pieces and fallen off the sides of the remaining non damaged structure. If the floors had pancaked the central core would have remained standing. The only way the collapses can occur as they did is if the central core was destroyed by controlled explosions. The central cores were systematically blown and ripped down the rest of the buildings from the inside. Again all evidence was destroyed by remelting the steel. The event known as 911 was in my opinion a combination of an external government and some members of the US Fed government conspiring to produce a domestic terrorism event (false flag) to launch the global war on terrorism resulting in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the patriot act, the tapping of every piece of voice, e-mail, data communications in the world, Dept of homeland security, increase in oil prices and massive military / domestic police force spending all on the backs of the supposedly terrified US taxpayer. It is and will remain the single most important event in the history of this country.

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

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.

Features of the collapse and remaining evidence prove that the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolition. Media censorship and disinformation employed to conceal this fact from the general public match the practice once used east of the Iron Curtain. Likewise, the counterintelligence tactics used against researchers, against 9-11 Truth groups, and on the web, match what has become infamous as 'Zersetzung', used by the former East German Stasi.

If controlled demolition, super-thermite, was used to bring down these three towers, is it not possible the aircraft used were drones and not the commercial aircraft we were told. We are going to have to address this eventually.

While I am NOT an architect. I am an astute forensic behaviorist, as well as clairvoyant and clairaudient. Truth rings true if one listens to choice of words, body language, and tone of voice and observes behavior. GWB at the scene of the WTC did not behave, talk or have the body language of a man in shock at a horrible crime--i.e. terrorist attack. His behavior, choice of words and body language was clearly that of a man who believed he had succeeded (maybe for the first time) in accomplishing a goal. He was flamboyant, cocky and arrogant. Gov. Pataki and Mayor Guiliani were clearly devastated.

I am 57 years old. I have owned a small construction business my entire adult life. I am familiar with the elementary processes of engineering , construction and demolition. The way in which these buildings were brought down is unmistakeably professional demolition. Trying to argue that point is beyond the realm of conscious reality.
The collapse of these buildings was unmistakably caused as a result of a high end professional demolition job . I can't find another logical explanation!

Only in a contained combustion burner with compressed air and atomized fuel can we attain temperatures high enough to soften steel (> 1800 degrees F). There is no explanation for an open fire causing steel structural failure.

Where there's smoke, there's fire & it's time for truth. Among many points of argument concerning the atrocity of 911, building 7's collapse, to me is most dubious. I saw a seeming credible video from BBC news reporting it's collapse prior to the actual free fall in it's print, of what appeared, to even me a layman, to be a controlled demolition. I could go on & on with other points, proving it all doesn't add up. I also wonder if it's true that certain people affiliated and/or related to Osama Bin Laden were flown out of our country directly afterward, when there was a no fly order for the rest of US? As American citizens, we know we have the right to get to the bottom of this. We expect truth & justice will prevail.

The egregious discrepancies regarding the destruction of the WTC complex between the works of Richard Gage, Frank Legge, Kevin Ryan, Gordon Ross etc. and all three of the NIST reports (2005, 2006, 2008) and the 9/11 Commission Report warrants serious critical attention by the masses.

There is no doubt in my mind that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings in New York on 9/11/01. The next challenge for America is to demand a real investigation into all the events of that day. Hopefully this scientific investigation without bias and government intervention will identify the actual causes of the demolitions and other acts of destruction.

I've worked as a writer and editor for over 10 years, including positions at mainstream daily newspapers and community journals. I've written several stories about issues relating to 9/11. Due to my research, I do not believe the towers fell the way the U.S. government claims.
I have viewed a lot of footage regarding Sept. 11, 2001, and the series of events really does not seem to add up. Steel buildings do not disintegrate from a strike, even if you add jet fuel. And there's been no justifiable explanation given for the WTC 7's collapse. I, along with thousands of other concerned citizens, call for a re-investigation of the events. This should be done by a true and impartial team of experts who have no governmental ties or agendas.

My first love was Architecture, and had hours of training and certificates for Mechanical Drawing and CAD from the 1980s, as well as training and certificates for Audio Engineering and Studio Maintenance, and worked since High School in Pro Sound and Audio Visual industries. Upon completion of my Associate degree in Electronics, I went to work for over a decade in Wireless Communications and Networks Manufacturing.
My first undergraduate program of study was Architecture in the mid-1980s with the University of West Virginia, but switched to Drafting with Carver Career Center in Charleston. Ironically, my first two areas of intense personal study were outrigger skyscrapers (WTC Towers) and underground construction (Bunkers). As I recall, the history of the term pancake goes back to the 1940s or 1950s in relation to SEISMIC studies of the performance of concrete and reinforced concrete buildings and was a descriptive term of the visible RESULT of collapses, NOT a MODE OF FAILURE. I knew then that the first explanation was pure propaganda, not scientific inquiry, and likely originated from some uninformed military source, not an educated civilian expert; especially since the means of destruction were different between the Towers and Building 7. The two WTC Towers were controlled explosions and WTC 7 was a classic implosion. In short, the evidence at hand convinced me that WTC 7 was a defacto standard controlled demolition, but that the towers were experimental silo demolitions; the most damning evidence being that the second tower struck was the first to fall in less than an hour. These [outrigger] skyscrapers are built to share the load between their cores and external frames, and any mode of total failure or progressive collapse begins with destroying both the core and frame on more than one side of either tower, and had the catalyst been any combination of plane crashes and office fires exclusively it would have taken several days to sufficiently weaken the towers (we know it wasn't plane crashes alone since the towers absorbed the crash inertias and redistributed their structural loads). Instead it was mere minutes. Some type of explosives and accelerants must have been used to account for the additional energies needed to trigger and to MAINTAIN the silo type collapses of the WTC towers. Lastly, it's funny how investigators who are Architects or Engineers are derided as not being Demolition Experts, but Demolition Experts with civilian or military experience are dismissed as not being Engineering or Architectural Ph.D.s (among internet message board discussions and other venues). The red-herring being that it assumed that the real perpetrators would have had to have had extensive knowledge of both fields to pull off these demolitions; the reality being that the 19 alleged hijackers had neither. Two planes, three different collapses. A child can do that math.

I am a journalist. I graduated from Auckland University in 1985 with a Master of Science (Hons) in neuropsychology/clinical neuropsychology and zoology. I initially learnt that the official story of 9/11 was a fraud from watching the documentaries: '9/11: The Road To Tyranny,' by Alex Jones and 'Confronting The Evidence.' In order to compensate for the lack of real information in the mainstream media about 9/11, I have written about the events and people related to 9/11 for publication and have contributed to Internet forums regularly, supplying information which strengthens the case to show that the official story is a hoax. I currently post 9/11-related information on my website also: Web of Evidence: What They Don't Want You To Know.
There was substantial evidence to show that thermite was used to bring down the Towers, not only as they were collapsing, but afterwords also. For example, shortly before the South Tower collapsed, molten metal was seen pouring out of the building near the 81st floor. Plus, in the aftermath of the collapses there were signs of an explosive material having been used, as explosions were occurring in the rubble, and there were fires that could not be put out with water. The nano-thermite that was located and estimated to comprise about 0.1% of the weight of the WTC dust by Neils Harrit et al, has helped to close the net on the real suspects. One thing is for certain, this composite was far too advanced a material to have emanated from the bowels of a cave.

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.)

See wtholmes.com for everything you may want to know about me. The only reason I got a degree in aeronautical engineering was because I thought if I could design an aircraft structure, I could design anything. I was asked by the Architecture Department to become an architectural structural engineer, because members of the department were impressed with my design and construction of a cable-supported kiosk (intersecting double arrows for Aero Royal part of Poly Royal family event). My interest in architecture and structural engineering continued despite my aeronautical engineering career.
No question of demolition. See voluntarysociety.org/conditioning/conspiracy/, where you'll find a chronology of U.S. false flag events and Tower profitability information. Also there is documentation of Tower bi-metallic corrosion, and a demand by the EPA that Towers 1 and 2 be disassembled by 2007 rather than demolished. Disassembly was prohibitively expensive. Corroborating evidence of this is needed. Is it possible that every tall building is wired for demolition to avoid toppling due to an earthquake or bomb, and in the case of the Towers, the buildings were demolished to avoid collateral property damage the moment they started to topple, despite being occupied? Building 7 would argue against that.

I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

As a toolmaker in research and development; I am fairly well grounded in metallurgy and the various disciplines involved such as strength of materials as applied to various alloys, heat treatment and fabrication including the use of heat in forming various steel alloys, with 35 years experience.
When I saw the first video of the towers in free fall; I knew from day one that the spin put on 911 was not what I saw with my own eyes. The thought that it was another Pearl Harbor quickly became evident. As a self taught student in the dark history of our country and your excellent presentation: if there was a shadow of a doubt about 911, The light of truth has illuminated every conceivable recess! 911 was, indeed: AN INSIDE JOB. The fires were too localized and oxygen starved, as evidenced by the thick black smoke to have been hot enough or long lived enough to even start any deformation of the structural steel, which was generously coated with asbestos. There are reports of cables being run to upgrade the internet services in the building on unoccupied floors. People working on floors below this work reported a fine white dust all over the office furniture on Mondays following the weekend. My assumption is: the dust was asbestos that had been removed from columns so thermite charges could be placed on bare steel. If memory serves me: I think it was around the 83rd floor of one of the towers where this dust was found.

Born in Denver, Colorado in 1954; I earned a bachelor's degree at Metro state college there in 1984--the head of the broadcasting department emphasized the problem of propaganda in mass media. I am interested in patterns of U.S. News media. Explication of events and circumstances like the wtc destruction.
at the time, the 9/11/01 incident in Manhattan seemed so orchestrated; I'm grateful to see that logic being pursued still. I would appreciate information on how to display the Richard Gage dvd publicly. thanks much for the lucid effort.

I am a student at Mt. Hood Community College (Gresham OR), focusing on social sciences without a definite major in mind. I was fascinated with physics in high school and constantly try to keep up with advances in the field. I'm excited about CERN and my conception of god is based in quantum physics. I still remember F=MA, and that is enough knowledge to grasp the pile drive problem. I am 21 years young.
I've never watched an object, any object, fall through a much larger greatly more massive, upright, stable, structurally zealous object - composed primarily of steel and concrete - at near free-fall velocity, and come to the ground in massive clouds of dust. The underlying theme of the collapses, w/r/t the theories set forth by investigating agencies, is that of crushing; it is not that of annihilation, which is what we have all witnessed, countless times. Critical analysis is the only skill necessary to notice the discrepancies between official fact, and the findings of genuine, caring, and bold individuals concerned with that elusive thing we identify as truth.

I accepted the official story until I watched the footage of Building 7 collapsing. Nothing anyone told me could change my mind. It was the visual of the very obvious controlled destruction that woke me up. When people ask me what I believe about 9/11 I tell them that I don't believe anything, I suspect things. Belief being a black and white decision while suspicion involves a scale of possibilities. My suspicion is very far toward the positive that 9/11 was a False Flag, self inflicted wound, perpetrated by elements within our own government. I am ready to hear more about what this means. You don't have to prove it to me anymore.

I am so grateful for the research and findings that have finally enabled us to explain what really happened in NYC at the WTC on September 11, 2001. We may never know the whole story but we have a great foundation for demanding an independent investigation with powers to prosecute the individuals involved. Thank you so much AE911Truth and especially Richard Gage.

My career after obtaining my engineering degree has been spent largely in engineering support roles, such as software integration testing and then technical writing.
If the official government coincidence theory about 9/11 were true and 19 Muslim hijackers were the sole cause of the destruction observed, then we should all convert to Islam, because they proved the POWER of Allah not just in gaining control of four aircraft and circumventing standard operating procedures on the ground that should have intercepted their flights, but also in breaking the rules of physics in heating and weakening steel, in uniformly collapsing the structure through the path of most resistance at near free fall speeds, and in pulverizing the structures and content into fine powder, a huge energy sink in and of itself well beyond what conservation of energy of the falling mass would suggest.

The 3 high rise building collapses on 9/11/01 should be completely understood.
