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 collapse, at the speed of a free-falling object, of 3 of the buildings the WTC complex was obviously not caused by the crashes of two airliners into the towers. Engineers trained on general aviation aircraft would not have been able to pilot the B767's with such an accuracy into the towers. Military-grade skills/training would have been required! In addition to all this, the WTC main towers had been designed to withstand the impact at full speed/paylload of B707. The various video recordings of the collapse of the three towers are the evidence of a controlled demolition.

Occupation: Land Surveyor
A land surveyor often stakes offices and other large buildings and we sometimes monitor these and adjoining buildings during construction. Any observant person can see the redundancy in the building construction.
No single column failure would result in a catastrophic collapse. All three buildings fell into the path of MOST resistance, not least resistance. This is impossible without removing the resistance. This is why there has been no record of a steel framed building collapsing in the way the three Manhattan buildings collapsed. Close up views of the North Tower show the building disintegrating above the impact area and the top of the building is descending while the portion of the building below the impact is not moving, proving that a demolition is taking place. The South Tower is tilting into the path of least resistance and suddenly it collapses straight down into the path of greatest resistance. The North and South Towers were hit at greatly different heights leaving the South Tower with substantially more weight above the impact area than the North Tower, yet somehow the physics of this great (crushing) weight did not accelerate the collapse of the South Tower in any significant way over the North Tower. Building No. 7 is clearly, without a doubt, a controlled demolition. The fact that if there was not foul play then those in control of the investigations and the Justice dept would have no qualms in allowing a fully independent investigation. In fact, if they are as innocent as they claim, a fully independent investigation would exonerate them. This was about the Caspian Sea and the oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan and the uncooperative Taliban who were opposing the CentGas pipeline.

I have worked with rock mechanics stress testing using finite elements computer techniques. I have worked with explosives in the surface mining area: designing the drilling & rock blasting, mine design and production.
In my opinion the twin towers and building 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition: According to all the reports the towers took about ten seconds to hit the ground. therefore the buildings collapsed at free fall (by using the law of gravity, H=1/2 at2). In controlled demolition the explosives are distributed on the building key points and detonated simultaneously.

I went through a college course studying fire prevention. I did numerous street actions in Montreal with the 911 truth group there and still I am trying to get as much info as I can to people around me.
When explaining 911 to people, I always start with building 7, the building that supposedly collapsed due to small fires. Always funny to see that people do not know about that building. There has been a case of a skyscraper in Montreal burning for hours and none of the city experts present had the mere thought it would collapse. Of course, even though the fire destruction was vast, it remained standing. One more well-known case is the tower in Madrid.

I have been questioning the official story almost since 9/11 took place. Even to someone non-technical, the official explanations for the collapses of the WTC buildings are obviously completely inaccurate. No modern steel building has ever collapsed in that fashion before (due to fire), and it does not make sense that they should. The official story is so obviously full of holes, that it requires a massive amount of ignoring the evidence to even come close to convincing yourself that it is true.

I am a father of 2 who just wants to learn the truth about what happened on that dreadful day. I am currently residing in Las Vegas working in a casino.
I, like many others just don't see how all those buildings could come down like they did. I have seen buildings professionally imploded that did not come down as neat and tidy as the ones on 9/11. I also question the official story which seems to be filled with holes. The 911 commission did not seem to do the job they were formed to do. I just want all the evidence put out on the table, all eyewitnesses interviewed again and have different experts present there findings.

I can't see how steel columns turn to dust almost instantaneously, nor how WTC7 can collapse from the top down as a result of a little damage to a bottom corner. Many, many elements of the official story are difficult to accept. These are just two that stand out in my mind at the moment.

I do agree the buildings collapsed in a manner that is consistent with a demolishing (free fall rate, pulverized concrete). Building 7 having a full collapse is not consistent with fire, or debri impact, and it fell at or near free fall rate. The molten steel coming out of the windows before the collapse is a clear indicator something other than a kerosene based fire was present. The molten steel at the bottom of the collapse is curious considering the fires cannot get hot enough to melt this grade of steel, or melt concrete.

On 9/11/01 I watched the TV all day as I could not believe my eyes and what really made me think something wasn't right was building 7. I mean that was brought down by controlled demolition as I have seen building brought down before on TV in Las Vegas and it looked just like it.

For me, after looking at all these videos and listening to so many people interviewed on the spot at the time the buildings imploded, it is impossible not to see what happened there. Be sure that people outside America see what happened there. I am sorry for the American people that, because of the pain that the truth causes, can't see it.

I have 20+ years as automotive technician and construction trades. I also study various form of architecture for a hobby and enjoy watching professional building demolitions.
To me after studying every video I can find on the collapse of the towers that this was a professional demolition and not the result of aircraft impact and fire. Watching the video closely reveals explosions occurring several floors below the impact area, and we all know fire will travel upwards not down so what would have caused the floors below to suffer explosions other than demolition charges.

I first saw a segment with Jimmy Walter on the Anderson Cooper show about the 9/11 conspiracy theory, then found the reopen911.org and 911research.wtc7.net websites, and I was impressed by the amount of evidence and the quality of the research. I think the case has been made beyond any doubt whatsoever that controlled demolition brought down the 3 WTC buildings, so the entire event must have been primarily an inside job.

What made me question the story was the plane hitting the Pentagon. Where was it? That explosion doesn't look like a plane to me! After that I started looking more into it and Mr. Gage's video helped to finally sell me on it. After a Rally I through in Oct, I had Cindy 911 truth featured and they gave me a copy of the 2 Gage films and I was convinced!

It is clear to anyone with an open mind who wishes to look that there is much more to the collapse of the buildings of the World Trade Center than is asserted in the official story.

I am a member - supporter of our local free speech radio station WBAI which has reported on the unanswered questions concerning the events of 911 ( guns and butter, taking aim ).
The main concern I have about the official story of the events of 911 is of course the presence of the nanothermite in the dust samples collected, the iron spheres, and the molten iron that collected in the basement areas of the buildings. Other concerns about the events of that day would be the lack of plane parts at the Pentagon site and at the Pennsylvania site.

I am a simple student of man. Common sense and physics should rule most of our nation-wide answers to the multitude of issues we choose to publicize. Humanity and ego, it seems, tend to win when big issues are prevalent. It is sad.
As a non-explosives expert, I was amazed at the precision of the fall and time pattern it seemed to be under. How could anything so internationally mammoth happen? And where were the preceding safeguards? It looked like a well-executed hit on the faceless masses. None deserved the fate.
