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 for a long while been curios to the events of september 11, 2001. I have adopted the stance that emperical evidence and experimentation is the foundation for good science, something the official explanations of 9/11 seem to be overlooking.I am still searching for some good documented experimentation proving the official claims that WTC 7 collapsed due to fires, and that WTC 1 & 2, could collapse and pulverise almost completely due to the upper sections freefalling falling a couple of floors or so.

I'm neither an architect nor an engineer. But when one sees the demise of the three skyscrapers , it's obvious that they fell from the same stimulus, because their collapses look identical. If burning jet fuel brought the Twin Towers down, then how to we explain the identical collapse of a building that wasn't struck by an airplane? The answer is...we cannot.

I attended Texas Tech Univ. from 1988 to 1997 and graduated with an MS in Electrical Engineering. My first engineering job was for Agri-Tech, Inc. in Woodstock, VA from 1997 to 2000. I designed the computer controlled hardware and software for industrial fruit sorting machines used by packing houses. I then worked for an Electronic Design Automation firm Silicon Metrics in Austin, TX from 2000 to 2003. I designed software EDA tools for microprocessor firms.
I believe the 3 WTC buildings that fell were demolished with explosives. We have many things working against us trying to get the word out about 9/11: 1. The public education system has moved away from teaching technical skills and is deliberately dumbing us down. 2. There is less respect for human life today than there was at mid-century, though respect for human life now is better than it was in ancient times. In order for people to want an investigation into 9/11, they have to care about the people that died. Many people I've met simply don't care about the deaths on 9/11. 3. These is less social capital today than there was at mid-century. Read the book 'Bowling Alone.' When people become aware of 9/11, their network of acquaintances are so limited that the word can't spread. People rely on the media for information and opinions rather than each other. 4. The lemming effect gives people the instinct to appeal to authority and follow others. Almost the entire argument against the 9/11 Conspiracy is the appeal to authority and the reluctance to look at the information and form an independent opinion. If most of the 80,000 architects in AIA don't agree with Richard Gage, then he must be wrong.

The event does fit into the general scheme of things of how governments work and social systems work. We will not know the truth because too many individuals would be exposed. Those killed in this event are not any different than the soldiers in direct combat action. Our leaders are usually not touched and even the general population think that is okay.

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.

I'm an aerospace engineer. This isn't just a conspiracy theory. The engineering of how WTC 7 fell is absolutely impossible. When I say absolutely I mean the numbers are 1 in a trillion likely. This is the only steel building to ever fall from fire alone in the history of humanity and that's because it wasn't really only fire. It had 26 columns. The fire would have had to melt all 26 columns within a second of each other in order to create the engineering situation that takes the building to the ground at the speed of freefall gravity meaning no resistance from the support beams while falling. This is not a conspiracy theory.....it is scientific fact. Who did it and why we may never know.... it was absolutely without a doubt brought down by demolition at 5 o'clock pm on 9/11.

I witnessed the demolition collapse. The collapse and statements from the rescue workers confirmed molten steel which cannot occur from jet fuel heat but does occur from incendiary type demolition explosives. This and the steel framed structure failure requires better explanation than the official version. Even the monument girder in Jersey City shows evidence of extreme heat (heat compatible with incendiary type demolition explosives). There are too many unanswered questions.

Having been presented the evidence from multiple sources about the collapse of the WTC towers I at least believe the cause of the collapse was not due to the collision of the airplanes. It seems very likely that the collapse of all three towers was due to structural tampering of some sort from within. It even seems possible that planes had nothing to do with the collapse.

I am a proud US military veteran who, like so many other patriotic citizens, was subjectively spoonfed the official story from the mass media and our own government. In the first days, weeks and months following 9/11, I noticed a few strange anomolies, such as the odd damage to the Pentagon, but didn't think much of them at the time. Over the past two years, I have since objectively examined the evidence, applied the laws of physics, and cast aside patriotic bias. I now discount the official story and seek the unbiased truth that an independent investigation would provide.
My opinion on the Tower 1 & 2 collapses is that they were controlled demolitions designed to destroy evidence of the aircraft. I do not believe the planes that hit the buildings were commercial jetliners filled with terrorist hijackers and unsuspecting citizens, but were military planes masquerading as the missing hijacked flights. I also believe that WTC 7 was a planned and controlled demolition, perhaps to destroy the evidence of a 9/11 central command, and most definitely to propogate much of the insurance, financial aspects, and inside-trading anomolies surrounding the 3 WTC building collapses. The concept that three massive steel skyscrapers could instantly collapse as a result of burning jet fuel seems preposterous to me.

First: Since I did my military services in the Swedish Air Forces (SAF) (1985-1986), I was confused already from day one about the lack of intervention from the USAF - especially regarding Pentagon and the time it took from the first crash to the last. First thought was that USAF was in a worse shape in 2001 than SAF in the eighties, but also that your home defense might not be as advanced as your forces abroad... Quite stupid thought, but it comes natural to rationalize in this direction after such a catastrophe. Then I really didn't think much about this, except that the USA obviously used 9/11 as an argument to go for the oil, until last summer (2007). While hiking with friends - architects and landscape architects - I was told about the 9/11 truth-movement and the discussion about whether or not this was an inside job. I told them they were totally out of their minds. But - since I had my first doubts about the USAF - I also got curious, and finally looked at some internet pages. Now - after having seen quite many argument for and against - I think it's absolutely outrageous that anyone could still claim that these building fell naturally, because of the impact and fires. There were 3 different scenarios, but all building fell exactly in the same way as the others. The top of the buildings took the most difficult way down - straight through the remaining body underneath instead of tipping over on one side. Nothing remained standing. And the speed of it all! If American building are constructed in order to fall down as easily as possible instead of withstanding as much as possible - I might not dare to enter another high rise building in the US... Nothing reminds of how buildings fall down after accidents - everything reminds of a professional deconstruction work. Clearly - there is a need for an independent and international investigation - preferably with no US governmental participation!

I have no confidence in the official account of the collapse of the WTC buildings. After being introduced to the possibility of an alternate explanation for their demolition earlier this year, I conducted my own research and came to the same conclusions that have been presented on this website. I am grateful for the continuing efforts of Mr. Gage and others who have the respected authority to inform the general public of these important facts as empirical evidence supporting controlled demolition of WTC1, 2 and 7.

Now my full attention is on the events. I believe that anyone who really takes a look at all the evidence (especially what I've seen here) would be able to see what really happened.

I watched the news casts of the impact of the aircraft on the day of the attacks. I wondered at the time what type of steel was in the building and if the structure was sufficiently engineered to withstand such an event. Later as I watched how the first building collapsed I kept thinking This looks like a controlled demolition then when the second building fell in exactly the same way I could not accept that the collapse was caused ONLY by the aircraft and aviation fuel. I know that jet A burns at approximately 1500 to 1600 degrees as I was an airforce pilot during the Vietnam conflict. I could not imagine that the steel in those buildings would be sufficiently weakened by such a fire. After the initial report by the federal investigators was released I could not accept the findings as factual. It was several months later that I saw for the first time the collapse of building 7. This building came down in exactly the same manner as 1 and 2. That was simply too much to be believable. This must be investigated by an independent team of structural engineers, architectural engineers and demolition experts. I would suggest drawing from at least 2 or 3 other countries NOT hostile to America.

The laws of energy, force, physics, and common sense don't agree with the official explanation we were given. A&E offers well-thought out and well-researched theories that explain how these towers fell. To date, my colleagues and I have yet to find the fallacy within A&E's scientific logic. With my prior experiences inside the US military, I find that planning and executing this sort of large-scale demolition to be well within the means of any government or any well-connected organization. History has taught us many things, and the detestable idea that a group of people could perform something like this has been repeated throughout the centuries; as a consequence, with enough examination, these sorts of actions have been proven to occur time and time again. Living in the 'modern' era does not exempt us from the repetition of history.

I have read and viewed hundreds of hours of material regarding this improbable collapse and the cover-up. One must wonder what the ultimate objective might be.
The official story has neither science nor the facts on their side. They do have a lot of disinformation agents and an unquestioning, mostly compliant media. Having participated in a simulated SAC (Strategic Air Command) alert, I am alarmed by the failure to respond for 1 1/2 hours. Who can make NORAD stand down? Not Al-Qaeda...

Not to mention on the day of the attack, all those in my command center expressed, accountability and execution of these attacks could not occur without the collusion of an inside intelligence resource.

I have a long history in political, peace and environmental activism. I AM NOT generally a conspiracy theorist although I do know what the human being is capable of to advance their own power or greed no matter what their ideology may be.
I was always suspicious of how the buildings went down--they simply imploded! One does not have to be an engineer to figure that out. Those buildings did a vertical slide--not a fall.

Architects and Engineers are highly trained professionals in the exhaustively evolved areas of Structural Engineering and Materials Science. Anytime a structure catastrophically fails to perform in the manner designed, there is exhaustive and meticulous examination into it's causes and how to avoid such failures in the future. The WTC collapses necessitate serious engineering flaws in all three structures, or that the collapses too were engineered. These are questions that Materials Science MUST have answered, lest other structures also be built with these same flaws.

This was a very well put together and scientific documentary. I decided to stay at work on 9/11/01 and not go home. Before hearing any personal/official opinions and just watching the footage on T.V, I was skeptical. It was very odd how the buildings came down perfectly. It was odd that such a large scale attack could just magically happen. I deem myself rational and open minded paying attention to events since 9/11 help me justify that it was a false flag operation. I learned early from the army of a need to know basis. The government that I grew up believing was serving the public has grossly has not served the public!

Lies and half-truths is what has happened in America because Americans don't want to believe this could ever happen to them. 9/11 is yet another lie our elected representatives want us to believe!

20 year military career. Trained in basic explosives. Trained in ballistics. Trained in operations.
As a Retired Army Sergeant, I've had some training in explosives. It is clearly obvious to me that building 7 came down in a controlled manner. If that was the case, it had to be prepared. The question is, when was it prepared and why?

I am a former Army National Guard soldier and a father trying to teach my children the truth and the difference between right and wrong.
I find it very suspicious that the only 3 times in history that a steel framed skyscraper has collapsed due to fire, we found pools of molten metal weeks afterward and that we are supposed to believe that jet fuel caused such a massive amount of heat. The residue proves that there was thermite used, and I am proud to see a group with the intelligence and courage to examine the evidence and come to a logical conclusion for what happened to make those 3 buildings collapse so symmetrically.
