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.

Never thought much about alternative explanations until I saw a video and wondered why they collapsed vertically with minimal leaning, and apparently from the bottom as well.

WTC1,2 and 7 could not have fallen due to fire. The collapses were too symmetrical, and came down too fast, through the path of what should have been the greatest resistance. The only thing that can successfully cause that is well placed explosive charges. To believe the Fire story you would have to ignore the laws of physics.

When I saw live collapses of WTC in television, I was shocked. But I was also wondering by speed and geometric precision of falls of this great building. Why they didn't fall on some building in near? That time I was student of high school of art, I didn't know anything about engineering, but with teachers and student we spoke about that it looked like demolitions. Also we spoked about president Bush and gas business of his family, you know, we had different view to this thing than people in USA. Speed, fast start of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it look rearly strange.

On Tuesday morning September 11, 2001, my wife and I watched WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapse from the rooftop of our Brooklyn, Clinton Hill home. We lived quite close to the East River. In the 1990s I was commissioned by Scientific American Magazine to produce a series of illustrations for an article on controlled demolition of steel frame buildings. From the first time I viewed the video of the collapse of WTC 7 I was convinced it was a controlled demolition because of the extensive research I had to do for the Scientific American Magazine article.

I have never believed in the official story . After researching for the past 3 or 4 years , it still amazes me that the u.s government ( and maybe others ) have got away with not answering any questions about this sickening mass murder . I don't think one needs to be an engineer or an architect ( and i don't mean any ignorance in that ) but any normal person should recognize a burning building to one that has obviously been brought down controlled demolition . After watching your video , i think the world would drastically change their minds and totally shocked by the evidence you have uncovered . I can only applaud you for your thorough investigation .

I think that it is of paramount importance internationally and for the US Democracy that the truth be established about what actually took place on that day and the truth be recognised officially. As often stated, the mechanical facts seem quite clear, the hard part are the implications of it. But I think we owe it to everyone who died (on 9/11 and subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan), as well as ourselves and our children.

I was suspicious about the true causes of the collapse of the WTC towers from the time I saw them fall in real time standing in my college's commons area. The way the buildings collapsed just didn't seem right to me. I'm glad that there are other people who shared my suspicion who took their time and expertise to examine the available evidence and are now working towards informing the world about what really happened on 9/11.

As a construction document specialist, I have broad experience in almost all building types including high rise office buildings of both structural steel and reinforced concrete super structure.
Though I have seen several presentations on the internet about the 911 events, I do not consider myself sufficiently knowledgeable enough to render a professional opinion as to the sequence of events that may have caused the collapse of WTC 1, 2, & 7. However, the following events seem to raise significant enough question to merit a full re-investigation of the calamities of New York as well as the Pentagon: - - - - The flashing of light in the intermediate floors of WTC 1 & 2. - - The molten steel int the basements - - The absence of any steel framing of the upper floors. - - Several hour delay in the collapse of WTC 7 - - The similarity of the WTC 7 to a planned implosion - - In the Pentagon, the hole in the side of the building was of a size that could only mean the wings were severed off and no evidence of wings were ever found. - - - - These observations are based on internet pictures and stories I saw several months ago, and I am sure that If I were to review the pictures and written stories, I could find a lot more to comment on. Suffice it to say, in my opinion, a re-investigation MUST be done. - - - - Ray Conley, Architect Emeritus

My colleagues were satisfied with the pancake theory in 2002 having no prior experience in structure failures. In 2005 we further thought that documentary material such as Loose Change was very weak and further distanced ourselves from these theories without substance. I then saw the 2 hour Blueprint presentation and some further research which changed my mind. There may be some damage control involved in getting the message out.

I also have 17 years in private practice and have designed schools, performing arts theaters, fire stations. city buildings, and custom houses. I have designed major highway landscape restoration and have written guidelines for major architectural treatment of Interstate 90 infrastructure in Washington State. During my education, I took twenty five credit hours of structural engineering. I am a certified HUD/FHA plans examiner, and a certified FEMA post disaster building inspector.
As an architecture student, I was on the 100th floor of the WTC second tower during its construction. I was personally escorted to the top by one of the head engineers for the buildings. I had an opportunity to see the unclad structure as it was being built. There were no curtain or interior walls Given the size and height of these buildings, I find it totally incongruous that three buildings would pancake almost symmetrically. I would think that there would be uneven failure, melting of the structure, more to one side than another in at least one of the structures. The planes crashed into one side of the buildings, and unevenly - not on a level keel. That, to me would indicate more damage on one side of the building and more on one floor than another. All three buildings seemed to collapse inward on themselves with out relative little damage to nearby buildings in all directions. Why didn't at least one tower upper section tilt and fall to the side. And building seven was not square. If it collapsed from fire, why pancake instead of falling to one side or end where the fire was located? The fire was not in the exact middle. This is all too perfect - more reminiscent of a controlled demolition for ALL three structures. There are far too many coincidences to even discuss here.

All the evidence points towards a coverup by our government, at the least, of the true planners of this inhumane atrocity. At the most, it implies U.S Government complicit participation in the willful murder of 3000 of its citizens and over one million deaths from the immoral illegal wars that the event spawned.

Due to the seriousness of the 9/11 crime, and the subsequent decisions that destabilized the Mideast and eroded civil liberties, justice demands a fair and independent investigation of the evidence surrounding the planning and the implementation of the 9/11 conspiracy. The official narrative is obviously flawed with suppressed information and does not include the destruction of Building 7. The public has a right to know the truth and restore our faith in the National Security of the USA Federal Government.

False flags are a HUGE part of our history and I feel I am waking up slowly but surely.
The obvious demolition of all three Towers is a good starting point to start waking people up.

The entire building's material simply was turned into dust and melting metal. Aviation fuel burns @1350F - this temperature is not hot enough to metal steel and especially steel columns 6' thick. Also the fires were restricted to 6 to 10 top floors. No fire on floors of lower 3/4 of building. Paperwork from the Towers was scattered for 2 blocks (not burned) - autos up to 2 blocks away were burned and/or melted, unburnt paper on the ground and even under the burned out autos. - melted steel still melted and glowing 3 days later, and there was evidence of thermite or some other chemical/thermal action type explosive material.

I am a former terrorism planner for North Carolina Emergency Management. I wrote the state draft terrorism plan for the Nunn, Lugar, Domenici/Department of Justice grant. I have a background in military explosives, both on the battlefield (Somalia) and in training (Range 1 Inchon, hand grenades, explosives, and IMT, at the United States Military Academy, West Point). Today, I am an explosives instructor and safety officer for the Northwest Explosives Academy, teaching commercial blasting and demolitions. I am also completing a research PhD for the Critical and Sociocultural Education program at the College of Education at the University of Oregon.
Tower 1 and Tower 2 were professionally demolished. The way in which the two towers collapsed indicate that both buildings had been prepared for a multi-stage delay as found in a commercial blast train. The most important evidence beyond the eyewitness testimony of explosions, is the photographic evidence of angled cuts on the structural members of Towers 1 and 2 and the slag that appears below these cuts. These cuts show pooled metal that occurs with ignition of an M14 TH3 thermite grenade (and not the clean cuts as found with C4). Build 7 was, without contest, a deliberate demolition. It was not hit and should not have collapsed nor experienced structural failure near the rate of free fall. Finally, material evidence from 9/11 should not have been destroyed. As was repeatedly expressed to me, personally, months earlier by FBI Special Agent David Martinez in the North Carolina Emergency Operations Command; any emergency response plan following a suspected terrorist attack must take into account evidence storage, as the event should be viewed as both a crime scene and a mass casualty disaster. To this day, I am mystified why, in the wake of the greatest crime scene in American history, this was not done. Why was the structural steel and other physical materials from the site not kept? Why was it allowed to be sold off and melted for scrap? Someone in the Department of Justice was told to not object. I would like to know who and why.

Anyone with even a modicum of an open mind, grasp of the physical world around them and the curiosity to explore 9/11 would, I say cannot help to conclude that the collapse of the WTC 1, 2 & 7 was obviously brought about, at least somehow, with the use of explosives. Non-Americans, in the main, are not hindered by the American nationalism, patriotism, and to a much lesser degree, in this case, of the MSM dictating and controlling their thoughts and beliefs.

The basic laws of physics just didn't disappear on 9/11 because a government said they did.Multiple columns of steel cannot all at once, in one instant, suddenly lose all structural integrity and disappear to allow everything supported by them to collapse at free fall speeds because of kerosene or office fires.You can see they were all blown up.Why doesn't the US government release all CCTV footage from 9/11? Like the Pentagon, there must be lots of CCTV footage from around the WTC that has never been shown.

I grew up in Coatesville, PA during the 50s & 60s. Coatesville is where the steel for the 'forks' at the base of the WTC were made.
"My father, Russell W. Newkirk, was one of the inspectors that ok'd the steel to be used. He had over 40 years experience as the primary inspector at Lukens Steel/LukenWeld. After the towers fell he said over and over, 'No way, that's impossible!' He died less than a year after 9/11 always saying, ""What about Building 7?"" and ""Those bastards pulled another Pearl Harbor, I'll betcha."" He was a decorated US Navy 1st Class during WWII. For him to say and believe that he had to admit to himself that there were evil entities in the US Gov't. at the highest levels. It killed him."

The denial of bombs and the near free fall of the buildings do not make sense. The removal of evidence was criminal and needs to be addressed along with the similarities to the U.S. government's involvement with the proposed plan in the 1960's to make us retaliate against Castro by using planes in the same fashion as 9/11.

I have seen molten aluminum ignite when exposed to air, however, it does not spark! There is absolutely no way aluminum could ignite a steel beam. Molten aluminum, if exposed directly to concrete, can cause the concrete to explode, however, it would need to be a very large contained vessel in direct contact with the concrete.

I have been traveling to Europe for the past two years, and gave many public presentations there, about the value of plant medicines, and about re-connecting with the healing properties of herbal medicine.
I have watched many documentaries about the 9/11 event, and find there are far too many unanswered questions about exactly what happened. I personally feel that our own government planned and executed these attacks upon our own country and upon its own citizens... causing the terrible loss of life of over 3,000 people... and terrible destruction in the Manhattan area. We need to get to the bottom of this, no matter WHERE the investigation may lead, or how high (in the government structure) the responsibility goes. It is a disgrace (and probably what was planned)... that we let this event galvanize public opinion against the Muslim world (in general).... and did not hold the country ARABIA.... (from which most of the supposed 'terrorists' came), responsible.... instead of Iraq. I believe that this entire event was contrived and acted on...by those who wanted (exactly) to run our nation into an endless war scenario.... and to create a false sense of terror... so that they could have a reason to escalate the security levels in all areas of our life... which are totally unnecessary. The subsequent loss of our freedoms in the United States, via such outlandish new laws as the 'patriot act' and the 'National Defense Authorization act'..... is appalling and unacceptable to me as a United States citizen !!

Forty plus yr. as pipefitter/welder with extensive knowledge of carbon steel and stainless steel weldments common to industrial pressure piping systems. Having spent many years on various construction projects I have acquired a basic knowledge of structural steel also.
Upon viewing the television footage of the collapse of the Towers on the morning of 9/11 I immediately thought 'that looks just like a controlled demolition'! Some time later, when it was declared that jet fuel fires had heated massive structural steel components to the point of failure, I was absolutely certain that I was being lied to. Based on my knowledge of oxy/acetylene heating/cutting and the temperatures required to soften carbon steel vs what temperatures can be reached by a diesel/jet fuel flame in open air (only randomly impinging on steel components) I concluded this to be impossible.

The majority of my service was in artillery. I have had explosives training, conducted many close air support missions and have seen the results of military ordnance of all kinds. And not only that, although I consider myself a very intelligent man, I was completely accepting of the official story at first, but I distinctly remember having a feeling, as I looked at the buildings burning, that they were going to come down the way they did. And I actually sat and watched the TV waiting for them to come down. It was just a gut feeling.
It is plain to see (unless all of the video evidence has been falsified, which is beyond impossible) that the twin towers were blown apart from the top down, throwing tons of structural steel laterally. The scientific evidence that thermite explosives were used has been peer reviewed and verified. The video and eye witness evidence of WTC 7 clearly shows foreknowledge of demolition.

Became board certified in internal medicine and then in in nephrology in 1980 and 1982 respectively. Became full professor at WSU in 1998. Continued patient care, teaching to medical students and residents and doing clinical and basic science research for over 3 decades until retirement in January of 2019. Now I work part time in a clinic and volunteer at a free medical clinic.
I was shocked when we saw the plane hitting WTC. I did my residency training in a Manhattan hospital and was familiar with the WTC surroundings. My wife got a picture there at rooftop. But after initial shock, started to have doubt about the validity of the official story. I started to read and watch all independent investigations about 9/11 and soon became convinced beyond doubt that the official version is UNTRUE and it was a false flag operation. I was happy to see AE911TRUTH being formed by Mr. Gage and others and stayed in touch with the organization. I am an enthusiast to tell people about 911truth whoever cares to listen, but now I see lot of disinterest in knowing truth. I believe in truth and that truth ultimately prevails.

Anyone who takes the time to truly investigate the 9-11 tragedy will find problems with nearly every aspect of the official account. We are told in essence that the planes at Shanksville and the Pentagon evaporated, that the twin towers fell at free fall speed, in pancake fashion, without explosives to remove the resisting floors, and that the Solomon Brothers (Building 7) fell at free fall speed due to a few fires on a few floors. Even a cursory knowledge of physics reveals that all of these things are impossible. We've not only been lied to, but it isn't even a decent lie.

I understand why it is difficult for many to consider the facts about the event of 9/11, even when the evidence is overwhelming in pointing to explosive devices planted and being used in the demolition of 3 skyscrapers. It is difficult to accept that one's government would cover up the truth and raises the question of 'why?'

I am a student veteran who has been researching this days events for over a decade. I have been an honor student and I have taken collegiate level classes while still in high school. I consider myself to be an intelligent individual. Shortly after that September morning I was sent on deployment to the European theater. That days events changed my life and it changed the world. There is no reason why it cannot be changed again.
I was an 18 yr old Illinois National Guard Infantryman and student at McHenry County College when I watched the two towers collapse. Even at that young age I knew that those buildings were demolished. I vividly remember talking to my father on the telephone shortly after the second building fell and saying to him that, 'it looks like they were demolished'. I really hope that all of the evidence will be looked at more closely because people like Steven Jones from BYU have done the research and found the residues that indicate that explosives were used.
