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 'official' report on how World Trade Center 7 was demolished defies fundamental engineering principles. This is cause for great concern in the engineering community. An investigation needs to take place to determine what actually happened, or, in the unlikely case that the official report is true, we need to determine what is wrong with our engineering principles. Either way, an investigation needs to happen.

Of the many violations of the laws of physics on 9/11, the lynch-pin is the implosion and free-fall descent of WTC 7 is by far the most glaring. The official story does not bear the scrutiny of a single high school physics professor. 9/11 has made the world a place of permanent war, total surveillance and dwindling freedoms. With such a high price being paid by the citizens of the world, It does not seem to be too much to ask that an unbiased, thorough re-investigation into the events of 9/11 be conducted. Richard Gage has worked tirelessly for nearly two decades to bring these truths to light. Working to bring experts in the relevant fields together to craft a peer-reviewed, exhaustively-researched narrative. Their goal is justice. AE911Truth has done more to advance the cause of 9/11 truth, in pursuit of that justice, than any other of the many fine 9/11 truth organizations.

I have watched at least a dozen documentaries that draw upon but conflict with the many mainstream news stories about what happened that day. I have read the NIST and 9/11 Commission Reports and found them to be highly implausible on their face. David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking is a comprehensive look at the events that day that raises serious questions. What AE911Truth asks is that only a sliver of the truth be discovered, a logical explanation for the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center buildings, without speculation, political bias, or secret agendas included. I support that effort because it is not only a reasonable demand that citizens of this country place upon its agent, the U.S. government, but one which is wholly fundamental to a continued free society. Evidence of thermite, free fall collapse in a demolition manner, and eye witness accounts which were excluded from evidence, must be reexamined publicly. My inquiry into this matter came as a result of being a photographer at the Pentagon that day, went inside the building and surrounding areas, and personally saw no reasonable evidence of a Boeing 757-223 having hit the Pentagon, although there was related debris. In light of the USG's historical false flag activity i.e. Gulf of Tonkin, it was reasonable to look into the possibility that Pentagon and NYC may be similarly staged events. The continued shroud of secrecy surrounding the events of 9/11, to include the non-release of dozens of surveillance videos that supposedly captured the plane hitting the Pentagon, only strengthen my position and resolve. I recommend that the official story be corrected to conform to the legally required guidelines of the Information Quality (Data) Act.

I find the official narrative of symmetrical structural collapse of WTC 1 & 2 as a consequence of being struck by airliners and subsequent contents fires, and the collapse of WTC 7 solely as a consequence of contents fires to be unpersuasive, nor does it account for the energy required to produce the blanket of extremely fine dust containing nanothermite which spread over lower Manhatten, nor does it account for the thousands of minute particles of human remains found on the rooftops of neighboring buildings. Much is yet to be revealed.

The destruction of three skyscrapers on 9/11 produced the most devastating images I have seen in my lifetime. We lost the most monumental buildings on the NYC skyline. This event changed the way of life for Americans. It created a new level of security for large gatherings and travel. It promoted a new level of respect for the dedicated men & women who serve as first responders. For a while, it renewed the American society's love of liberty and patriotism. However, the evidence of controlled demolition of WTC 7 must be investigated so we can understand the true cause of this event.

He is the former President and part owner of the construction management (CM) firm that directed both the $115 million Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District's ES Reconstruction Program as well as Murrieta Valley Unified School District's $180 million Capital Improvements Program, both in California, and was Principal-in-Charge for over $1 billion worth of projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District. In addition, he has owned and operated several companies, including CM, architectural, and a mid-sized construction firm in Los Angeles. Joseph offers to clients a strong background in CM, construction, architectural design, strategic/long-range educational facility planning, and technical support specializing in the management of multi-million dollar, multi-project capital improvements programs directing hundreds of technical professionals. Joseph began his architectural career by obtaining a Masters degree from UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. After that, he had the privilege of working with the world-renowned and cutting-edge architecture firms of Morphosis, Charles Moore and the Urban Innovations Group, Eric Owen Moss, and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall (DMJM).
When I watched the buildings burning, I was, of course, shocked. But when I saw them pancake down, I knew immediately that something was truly amiss. I know from the experience of being involved in the design and construction of high-rise office buildings that the pattern of collapse was just too perfect, and that the amount of debris left at the bottom was too small for the amount of steel, concrete, glass, and furnishings that make up structures of that immensity. Also, unless the destruction is carefully planned, there is always some weakness inherent in the construction that will make the building list to one side during a natural destruction. Strange, indeed.

Experts explaining the so called collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings were explaining the reasons for the buildings falling immediately following their collapse at freefall speed. The holes alleged to have been from aircraft were not sufficient to bring buildings 1 & 2 down, and the black smoke fires did not appear to be hot enough or fires large enough to sufficiently soften structural steel, and as well, the surviving emergency workers in very many instances reported both only small pockets of fire that could easily be put out as well as flashes and explosions just prior and during the so called collapse. I personally doubt that there were any hijackers on board and of the airliners that were said to have been hijacked. During the Vietnam war it was my job to process and insure proper identity to all deceased that were processed by the US Army Mortuary, DaNang, Vietnam. We occasionally had to handle the deceased that were killed as a result of Aircraft, and at least once that of a large Airliner. The first evidence always needed was a manifest listing all on board. I was at that time assured that the FAA required that all flights had to have the names of all on board, passengers and crew, as a matter of procedure prior to takeoff. I am sure that that requirement is still in effect. Why were the passengers not identified on the flight manifests? It is a very basic and necessary requirement that would be rigidly enforced in a more modern time as today where there is an even more crowded sky than 1968-72.

Sporadic fires in large, modern, concrete and steel structures cannot possibly result in a symmetrical collapse at near free-fall speed which is indicative of near zero resistance.

I find it to be completely illogical to believe that a fire fueled by building contents as in WTC 7 or even a fire fueled by jet fuel combined with the amount of structural damage in WTC 1 & 2 to have softened or melted enough supports for the buildings to have collapsed as quickly and completely as they did.

I have 23 years experience as a Firefighter. Over that time I have studied building construction as it relates to the fire service and firefighter safety. I do not believe the report from NIST regarding the collapse of WTC 7.
I believe that the evidence shows that WTC 7 did not collapse due to any fire that was in the structure. I do not believe the phony animation produced under the NIST report. Any computer simulation can be manipulated to show whatever the programmer wants to show. There should be an independent peer reviewed investigative study of the building to determine the cause of the collapse.

So painfully obvious that controlled demolitions at the WTC on 9/11/2001 were used and even more painful is the on-going, ensuing cover up by our complicit and treasonous, incurious, mainstream media. Fortunately the truth is not as fragile as our government and press would have us believe. Moving ahead to a better world can only happen when we are no longer afraid to keep our heads buried in the sand. Thanks to ae911truth.org for all it does. Until someone on the side of the official narrative can stand up and offer some compelling argument of how Newton's fundamental Laws of Motion are NOT being ignored (as well as all the testimonial evidence of explosives), until someone can refute the scientific evidence of controlled demolitions, until someone can rationally address how allowing peer review of the alleged computer programs that explain the collapses would endanger 'public safety,' I stand with the engineers of ae911truth.org. Keep up your great, courageous work. God Bless you guys and America.

From the viewpoint of a professional firefighter,I have absorbed every bit of relevant information,from every source possible,since that horrible day on 911. I am firmly convinced, that the world Trade Center buildings did not fall due to structural damage caused by the aircraft or from the relatively minor fires in all three structures. How do isolated pockets of firein one corner of a floor cause over 800 feet of steel perimeter wall to blow out at the same instant? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

I enjoy watching the discovery channel on building demolitions and after listening to Richard Gage's 2 hour long video, it left me in a state of shock that some one could bring down these buildings on purpose. It's tough to argue against the facts presented.

I am not an engineer. However I do have some knowledge from constructions. I have worked as a carpenter and built a couple of houses. I am now working as a firefighter and in the studies to becoming a firefighter in Sweden we have to learn about constructions, building materials and how fire interacts with those materials.
It is extremely important that we know what effect fire has on buildings since we are risking our lives going in to the burning examples of them. The education for becoming a firefighter in Sweden is two years long and we study this subject to some extent. It is to the best of my knowledge completely impossible for the three steel frame buildings that went down on 9/11 to do so because of fire. Not only based on the fact that the temperature required to melt iron was not high enough but also because of the fact that they collapsed without actually anything there breaking the speed of the fall. COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE! I therefore strongly recommend another investigation to be launched. What has been said up to day simply can not be true.

Steel buildings do not collapse when on fire as some wish us to believe. The evidence presented by the AE911Truth.org web site brings a more plausible explanation.

In both, concrete was able to be turned to powder, but at no time have I seen fire turn concrete to powder.

The building collapse stunned me knowing fellow fire fighters had perished. Having observed many building demolitions, many red flags went up as I watched the collapse as it seemed to free-fall untethered from obviously compromised massive internal columns which came down also. This website has supported my personal conclusions that very un-ordinary events occurred Sept 11, 2001. I would be extremely satisfied to know the whole truth of 911.

They say these buildings fell down due to fire of office equipment. But bu code all office equipment must be flame retarded in manufacture all carpets must also be flame retarded so how is it that they claim that once the jet fuel burned off the building continued to burn at supposed ever increasing temperatures. Most FR chemicals start to work at 400 degrees F to prevent the spread of flames. The whole story makes no logical sense given the history of flame retardants in office buildings.

When I watched the buildings fall, from the limited knowledge I have, I knew that it was impossible for the buildings to fall the way they did. I have seen many controlled demolition and this was one of the best that I had ever seen. Text book controlled straight down drop. They could use this in text book demo classes. The American people have been lied to again to allow us reason to go to war not just in Afghanistan, as that was just the staging for the invasion of the Iraq quagmire that we find our selves in that if continues to go on will end the USA that we veterans fought for the last 230+ years.

Saw a picture of a firefighter bending over picking something up at WTC collapse scene and directly behind him was a vertical steel I beam cut at a 45 degree angle, the cut they make in controlled demolition of a building.

I have been working in the health care maintenance/engineering field for over 15 years. My specialty is in building/occupant safety and fire prevention.
It is my opinion that yet again we, the American public and the world, have been intentionally misled in regards to the complete story of the collapse and destruction of the WTC buildings. Obviously there is much more to the real happenings of this atrocity than has been officially given. I can only wonder why the American public has allowed this deception to continue as long as it has. It is of the up most importance that there be a new, separate investigation of the evidence and real reason for this tragedy.

I am a retired fireman from San Francisco, California. I have been involved in many structural fires. I have also witnessed the implosion of a high rise building.
I have personally witnessed a building implosion and it looked exactly like the three 911 collapses. The heat generated from jet fuel and office furniture will not melt steel and collapse buildings straight down.

I have been a Firefighter/Paramedic for 23 years in the suburbs of Louisville Kentucky. I have experience with structural firefighting and building techniques. My experience does not include high rise firefighting but I do have a basic understanding of the temperatures involved with fuel fed fires and normal room and contents or fire load that would be present in office buildings.
The evidence is clear. In my experience jet fuel and typical contents of and office building do not produce enough heat to melt structural steel. I have seen many times in my 23 years as a firefighter structural steel bent and warped due to extreme heat but never melted. lets ignore the twin towers and for the sake of argument assume that even though they were designed to take a hit from planes larger and faster than the ones that hit them, were brought down by the planes. Building 7 had little or no structural damage and only a minimal amount of fire. There is no way an office building with that little amount of damage would implode on itself...period!
