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.

Dear Mr. Gage: Thank you for taking on the architectural and engineering review of the collapses on 9/11 of the buildings at the World Trade Center site. I was dubious of the official explanations from the outset. You see, as a professional city planner in New York, I knew those buildings and their design. I attended and participated in the hearings at the New York City Hall when the buildings were first proposed. I argued for the buildings on the basis that the interior core represented a way of internalizing the cost of mass transit, which in our system is almost impossible to finance through public bond issues. So I was well aware of the strength of the core with its steel columns, surrounding the elevators, and stairwells. I should also mention that with a degree in architecture and instruction in steel design (my Yale professor had worked on the Empire State Building) I was and am no novice in structural design. When I saw the rapid collapse of the towers, I knew that they could not come down the way they did without explosives and the severing of core columns at the base. The spewing of debris from the towers where the planes entered also could not have occurred simply with just a structural collapse. Something else was happening to make this occur. Moreover, the symmetrical collapse is strong evidence of a controlled demolition. A building falling from asymmetrical structural failure would not collapse so neatly, nor so rapidly, as you have pointed out. What we are faced with is a lie of such proportions that even to suggest it makes one subject to ridicule and scorn. Who could have done such a terrible thing? Certainly not our government or military. Rogue elements in the intelligence agencies? I have no idea. But I do know that the official explanation doesn't hold water. An open, honest re-opening of the case is in order. A near majority of Americans agrees with this view. Let us keep pressing for an honest investigation.

Obviously impossible according to official story. All buildings of that size are designed with safety factors against exactly such an occurrence. The odds against both primary buildings and WTC7 collapsing due solely to aircraft impacts without planned demolition are absurd. Clearly controlled demolition was used to assist in the destruction of these symbolically significant structures.

I am a city and regional planning major at Ohio State University Knowlton School of Architecture. I have researched and published professional journals in the field. I research many diverse topics surrounding architecture and city planning. I have always found the 9/11 event very questionable and have a tremendous amount of curiosity about the investigation, motif, and accountable person(s).
I believe the events leading up to, during, and after 9/11 are irrefutably coordinated by an entity far more powerful than a Middle Eastern gang. When thinking of my personal opinion and feelings about the events and where we are now because of the tremendous influence 9/11 had, I feel angry, saddened, fearful that our country has lost its identity, but also I recognize an opportunity. I believe this has awakened a lot of people who were previously sleeping. Without a doubt more than a majority or at least a large population remain asleep, but those of us who do not simply believe what we are told, and what we see from the lens of a camera, but ask questions and search for the truth, are inspiring others.

The official version of the destruction of the towers does not stand up to scrutiny. The destruction of the towers could only have been achieved by the use of internally positioned explosives. This obviously changes the whole perspective of what really happened on that day.

It's not hard to understand why the NIST concluded WTC7 collapsed because of fire. Any other conclusion'such as controlled demolition--would obviously be politically incorrect. So any member of NIST who suggested such a possibility would be fired. I'm sympathetic. Those NIST guys needed to feed their families and pay their bills. Accordingly, they told their bosses what the bosses wanted to hear.

I studied architecture in Valencia, Spain, at the Etsav and finished in 2002. Since then, I've been working at calculations for steel and concrete structures.
It doesn't seem possible that a fire, now matter how hot it gets, can cause a collapse at free fall speed. The official story does not explain how all the floors below the impact could offer no resistance at all in the collapse. The mass below was moved away somehow.

Considering the advancements made in the construction and building industry, the collapse does not make any sense from an engineering standpoint. There must be other causes besides the crashed planes.

The previous investigation into what happened on 9/11 is inadequate and flawed. There is significant evidence that a controlled demolition occurred and the evidence was then covered up or ignored. Regardless of who is responsible for this aspect of the 9/11 attack, the American people deserve to know the truth.

Graduated Texas A&M University, 1951. Employed by various firms in Houston, including five years in my own practice. Retired in 1993. 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

As I watched the collapse occur on the morning of 9/11/01 I was shocked because I had been sure that the buildings would not collapse as I watched for the time between the impact and the collapse. The failure mode made no sense to me as I watched it. I read the article in the New Yorker about the structural engineer of the building about a month later. He wondered if the fault lay in a cost cutting measure at the time of construction that was forced on him - one in which less insulation was wrapped around the steel. He blamed himself for the failure. I find the 9/11 Blueprint for Truth Evidence far more convincing.

It is clear that America has been lied to about this event. Not to mention the countless other examples we have of being lied to by our media and govt. 9/11 is one of the greatest tragedies of my lifetime, and the greater tragedy is that justice has not been seen.

I have an English BA from Stony Brook University (NY), where I was during 9/11. I have had many careers, including: counselor, English teacher, coach, security, and title agent. Seeking truth and knowledge is one of my main drives in life.
Over the years, I have lost much sleep poring over the evidence. I have alienated friends and colleagues for voicing what I know. I compared my findings, after reading the 9/11 Commission Report, and determined it to be a faulty work of fiction. The vast preponderance of Americans deserve the truth - especially the fallen - no matter what it takes.

The proven use of nanothermites and the perfect free fall of all three buildings, not to mention that building 7 was not even hit, make clear the 'official' released report was, if not purely false, intentionally inadequate. Add to that all the records regarding General Schwarzkopf's projects and planned 'loss' of millions (billions?) were in building 7, as well as a trove of FBI work and probably unsavory Haliburton and Blackwater contracts.

Common sense tells me 3 (THREE) buildings cannot be completely blown to dust, including free falling to the ground and steel melting by 2 (TWO) planes. Innocent people died and apparently the correct people were not held accountable
