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 a masters degree in architecture from UC Berkeley, 1969. I worked as a design/builder from 1970-1983, then I was licensed in architecture in CA in 1985. I designed about 200 homes and commercial structures, primarily in northern California. I'm now semi retired, but still licensed.
As a student of architecture at Berkeley we witnessed a controlled demolition of a 12 story steel and concrete building in Oakland CA. We were impressed by the compact space that the structure collapsed into. I never forgot the image. Building 7 (and the towers, for that matter) identically matched this first hand observation when I saw them on the various newsreels and TV images that year and since.

The 9/11 Commission Report neither includes all aspects of the given incident, nor explains comprehensible the collapse of the involved buildings. Considering the magnitude of political and social change within the US and worldwide due to this day, it is to expect, that its investigation is flawless, unbiased, comprehensive, scientifically exact and adequately discussed. The fact that it isn't and the procedural violations it contains made me sign this petition to resume the investigation to find out about the truth of 9/11.

I have worked as a metallurgical and failure analysis consultant for over 6 years. Currently perform air quality inspections, and plan reviews for the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality.
Considering the design and method of failure of the world trade center buildings and the evidence of the damage and debris from the building collapses it is clear that these structures underwent a high energy failure mechanism that cannot be attributed to a localized structural instability or heat induced by one or more collisions with a jet aircraft and the ensuing fires. As a concerned citizen I believe a full, complete and open investigation of the failures and the evidence of the twin towers, and world trade center 7 building collapse is vital and necessary to the security of the nation.

I did a much simplified finite element analysis of the 9-11 structures (twins and Solomon) using ANSYS w/the autodyn plug in. The speed of the falls and the downward force impulses that would have been created by the plane damage made many at UTA suspicious of the 9-11 investigation report. It is my opinion that a more complete and thorough FEA survey than the one I performed will help erode the credibility of the 9-11 report of record, and provide political pressure to bring those responsible for the 9-11 murders to trial. I am willing to volunteer time in working toward this goal, if anyone is interested and has access to FEA software, please contact me at cattleprods [at] hotmail.com and I will donate time to further this cause.

We the informed people of the United States owe it to the victims and families to keep pushing until a world televised investigation of the events of 911 comes to be. I copy DVDs and give them to anyone who will promise to look at them. The videos don't lie.

The number of inconsistencies in the official story is staggering. Even if the fire created by the combustion of the plane fuel had the energy to melt or change the molecular structure of the steel, it could only do so on the Thermo affected area, which couldn't be bigger than a few meters long, making the existence of these effects on the base of the structure impossible, and therefore the character of the fall of the WTC impossible. Not to mention WTC 7.

In view of the pervasive reluctance of officials to release critical evidence, the numerous scientific and engineering anomalies and research results regarding the event, an unbiased investigation is imperative. Anomalies include: uncharacteristic free-fall collapse of buildings, hit or not hit by planes, complete destruction of buildings specifically designed to take impact of large airliners, never-before seen collapse of steel-frame buildings due to fire, persistent molten iron well beyond the temperature of burning fuel, projection of massive debris far from the towers, upward ejection of debris, complete pulverization of concrete and, it appears, even steel, evidence of thermate in dust plus the quick removal of twisted, severed steel columns from crime site. These are professional technical assessment issues specific to WTC 1,2&7. There are a multitude of other anomalies, and a chain of suspicious behaviors and subsequent hasty legal and foreign policy activities with suspicious basis, all which strip validity from all the ad-hominem attack arguments and scientifically untenable studies which have sought to discredit anyone honestly skeptical. Truth and reconciliation came to south Africa. In the land of the free and home of the brave, justice can and must be carried out. If the government story holds water, those who advocate it would only be vindicated and so no objection is reasonable.

I believe the government was alerted of the plan to attack the towers and did everything they could to ensure it would succeed far beyond the hopes of Bin Laden. I remember seeing an interview with Bin Laden, may have been BBC, where one of the party was asked, upon exiting the cave, Are you concerned about how the Americans are going to react? His reply was, T he Americans are easy, kill a few of them and they want to go home. We could fly large aircraft into their tall buildings. That interview took place some months before 9/11. Every war has been a setup.

I am virtually self taught as my education was interrupted by events after WW2. Books I had completed when I was 8 years old in India were dished up to me in Australia when I was 12 even though I was the youngest in class. I left at 14 and studied Ballet full time for a year before leaving for England. At 15 I was accepted into RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] London. Having finished the 2 year course, as it was then I was disillusioned with the theatre as I preferred the classics to kitchen sink dramas. As History was one of my best subjects and I was finding far too many flaws and lies I studied on my own in the reading room of the British Museum London. Here I could read Newton's works, Josephus and other great writers and come to my own conclusions which were opposite to what I had been taught. Although I would have liked to become an archaeologist I did not have the means. It was during this time I met my first husband and for far too many years had to devote myself to bringing up children. I 'woke' up again when I heard William Blum being interviewed on the ABC radio. I wrote down his name and finally bought my first book on the internet. He re-opened my eyes and I was horrified to know what had been going on for so many, many years. I subsequently read Edward Galiano's 'Open Veins of Latin America', and boy did I become enlightened then and no longer believed what I was being told. Although both these books have influenced me greatly I have read and seen so many truthful documentaries, many by John Pilger that made me what I am today. I am presently researching the Unsung Women Of History for U3A where I give courses on women who have virtually been either written out of history or simply overlooked. I am 76 years old and still learning.
It was the Frenchman who produced a documentary about the small penetration by the 'plane' 'which supposedly attacked the Pentagon that made me suspicious. Then my daughter's friend, who was in the SAS [Special Air Services] said he saw the second plane hit the second tower and it had no windows, so he knew it was a military plane. Then in 2008 I saw a documentary in Chile that told it as it was. The collapses and the squibs coming out. The 'hole' in Shanksville with witnesses saying there were no bodies and the only plane flew over and threw some heavy equipment out of the hold. However the FBI were already there walking around as if they were expecting it. When I returned to Australia I went onto the internet and among my discoveries was the impending visit of Richard Gage to Brisbane. I attended the meeting and was 100% convinced 911 was an inside job. Building 7 is the 'Smoking Gun'. Now like Pilger I believe nothing I am told! I do my own research.

I really do believe that getting your organization's explanation of the buildings' engineering facts, which provide the most excellent explanation that I am aware of of the un-likelihood that the collapse of the buildings could have been caused by fire as stated in the official report --- getting this info out far & wide is important, because it is among the most compelling reasoning's available today on the need to conduct a new, independent and credible investigation.

It is too hard for me to believe that three buildings fell straight down in New York City; Building number 7 was not even hit. We should have civilian's as part of the investigative panel. What country did we turn into that we can't investigate the murder of 3000 of our fellow Americans?

After seeing the lecture and video by Richard Gage on the ae911Truth.org website , I don't think any reasonable, rational person could come away without the conviction that all three World Trade Center buildings were brought down by controlled demolition on September 11, 2001, and that it had to be an inside job. For me, the most important thing is for these facts to be broadly exposed so that the American people and the people of the world will force an end to the never-ending war on terrorism. Thank you for your good work, Richard Gage!

there is now way in the world that these three buildings could fall at almost free fall speed without and type of demolition assistance. lets be reasonable the path of most resistance is straight down! and how is there parts of the building shoot out laterally int other buildings and stuck in the face of those other buildings without demolition style assistance. get it together people....9-11 truth NOW!!!

I'm an American with no criminal record like most Americans. A skyscraper collapsing not once but twice in an identical manner is a controlled demolition.
Alistair Cook called the commercial airliners slamming into the World Trade Center buildings a declaration of war. The total collapse of the US security services on that day along with the buildings collapsing so perfectly into their own footprint speaks of a controlled demolition. It makes no proper sense. Something like that can only be subversive. Unless there is an explanation to prove otherwise. Also, what American will deny a gut reaction to witnessing that stunt being broadcast in real time?

Not all Americans are so gullible as to believe what we're told and it is so obvious....this was a false flag operation plain and simple
