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.

If you take a look at the material characteristics and the melting point of the structural steel, there is a discrepancy in how the steel of the towers just gave out in the way that they did. They would not have fallen in a uniform manner because that would mean all the structural beams would've had to fatigue from the heat at the same rate. Also when looking at the aftermath you can see there are angled demolition cuts on the steal beams.

Mr. Gage raises some very compelling arguments for the possibility of a controlled demolition of Building 7 and possibly the twin towers. At a minimum, his concerns need to be addressed by an investigation into his allegations. Brushing aside these concerns only feeds the fuel of conspiracy.

I have earned (Gateway Technical College, Racine, WI) three associate of applied science degrees in engineering: Architectural/Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering/highway Technology and Design, and Land Surveying, where I was awarded top of my class status in all three programs. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, 2017). I currently work at an engineering firm on Madison, Wisconsin designing plumbing, HVAC, fire, and electrical systems for multi-family, multi-floor residential buildings. I am NCARB registered and a member of AIA (#39196676). I also will be renewing my membership with the ICC.
I believe the people have the right to know the truth. As a building designer, I want to know for certain that that building will not fail and cost people their lives. Being lied to about how buildings fail causes all kinds of problems. We want the truth. The architect who designed the WTC deserves to be justified by assuring us that the WTC was a sound and safe building. The only thing that could destroy that building would have been bombs, because they destroy everything, don't they? We should also ask who benefitted from this financially, politically, and the like. We need to prosecute those who are responsible so they don't do this again.

I watched the live news coverage of the burning of the first WTC building and the airplane collision of the second building from a conference room while employed in California.
I was skeptical of the collapse of each of the three buildings, but was especially unable to believe that WTC7 was not controlled demolition. I did not believe the official report from NIST. I did not realize how many other people were skeptical also.

Occupation: PhD Student
I have a BSE and MSE in Industrial Engineering from Arizona State University. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering (focused on Operations Research) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Although my degrees are not directly related to construction, because I am a PhD student, I am familiar with the scientific method and I have researched several claims made by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. I found their claims to not only be valid, but extremely relevant. Based on the facts that we know concerning 9/11, they are asking all the right questions that a critical thinker should ask. It is not necessary to be a structural engineer or architect to realize that the investigation put forth by NIST leaves out a lot of relevant information, so we need a new investigation to be conducted looking into the possibility that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings.

I've learned a lot about designing structures: all the elements that are taken into consideration at the time of design, including the 1.67 factor of safety multiplier. In my opinion, there is no conceivable way that the towers could have collapsed, much less in the manner in which they came down.

I have a High school Diploma with starter College courses in English and Math. I work for minimum wage but keep news and information frequently.
My concern with the explanation of the towers falling from plane impact, which caused the fires, acting as a catalyst for the collapse, is that they had built the towers to withstand a hit from a plane almost exactly like the ones which were used. The other thing that I had came to believe was falsified about that day was Tower 7, specifically, falling for no apparent reason.

When he first saw the video of WTC 7, my son (recently graduated with an MS in Construction Engineering), remarked 'That was a controlled demolition'. I most likely would have accepted the mainstream story, but I continued to look at the alternatives. I became more and more convinced that WTC 7 is a smoking gun.

I have attained no technical certification in any field. I am an artist, environmental activist and US citizen who would like the truth of the events of 911 to be investigated by a credible independent 3rd party and published for all to see.
I have been in many redwood forests where trees that were either the victims of fire, lightning strikes or fungus lie on their sides. The towers which were comparable to trees in stature came straight down causing no damage to surrounding structures. I find this to be highly improbable if the cause of their fall was the impact of the plane or fire as we have been told. The collapse of the towers was not natural.

Too many inconsistencies in the official story. Hijackers are alive. What was contained in building 7 not hit by plane, raises serious questions. The media coverage that day on all networks on a second and third glance looks really odd. The list goes on ever increasing facets arise.

I recently attended the Baptist Peacemakers of North America conference at Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY and viewed the DVD. I purchased it and reviewed it today. I am a member of the Baptist Peacemakers of RI where we meet bi-monthly. I am a retired elementary school teacher.
Having viewed the DVD 9/11 Blueprint for Truth, I am convinced that a further investigation is needed. The theory of demolition vs. fire seems plausible. Why would the steel girders have melted?

There is sufficient (overwhelming) evidence that warrants a new investigation into the verifiable cause of the events of 9/11/2001. Until the truth is told about this obvious massive coverup, the Federal government along with its collaborators, especially the Congress and Senate, various intelligence agencies, and investigative media entities, is in my estimation a farce. Most of the rest of the world knows this. The leadership of this nation both public and private is a disgrace, to put it mildly. Thank you AE 911 Truth for all you have done. You are a bright light in a very dark America.

Spent 24 years working at the Montreal Gazette, 8 years externally and 14 in the circulation department, when Canwest closed our department to have it centralized in Winnipeg two years ago. Have since followed my passion of astrology and been self-employed, selling astrological products such as birthday cards and hand made jewelry. Am currently working on teaching an astrology class for beginners and looking to expand the reach of Astrology Montreal.
The first alarm bells went off for me when I watched the documentary Zeitgeist, which provided an attempt at a why. What followed were two years of researching the how and trying to sort out the information. A & E 911 Truth (along with globalresearch.ca) was invaluable in that respect. Nothing about the official theory makes sense - not the way the towers fell uncharacteristically and like none other, ever, in history; not the fact that it took years to investigate (when it only took 9 days to look into the Katrina disaster); not the fact that the 911 Commission ignored a full third of the evidence (WTC 7); not the fact that the physical evidence was hauled off to China at 800 truckloads per day illegally, and certainly not the fact that the implosion of WTC 7 was announced on CNN and the BBC 20 minutes prior to actually coming down. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

I am a forty year old former teacher now working in marketing as a copywriter, graphic designer, and creative manager. I've been interested in the controversy surrounding the 9/11 tragedy since March of 2002 and have spent countless hours of my spare time researching it and encouraging other to do so. Other than my own small business I have no official affiliation to any group or political party whatsoever. I am a moderate but progressive political realist.
I believe the structural collapses of these buildings should be investigated purely on the basis of my own reasoning and reading. I have no technical expertise in the field other than a layman's interest in physics and 6 years of experience in interior systems construction that paid my way through University. I subscribe to no conspiracy theories whatsoever. I simply want to see a scientific investigation of this terrible tragedy and believe the conclusions from such an investigation themselves will show whether or not their has been a conspiracy beyond that proposed by the US government.

I am a 57 yr-old salesman - no AE qualifications - but possess a modicum of common-sense, have studied the WTC attacks, and am convinced ( thanks to experts like yourselves) that the official version is a lie. I am married with 2 children.
At first, like most people, I swallowed the official li(n)e, but having studied other events e.g. Kennedy assassination, in detail, felt something was amiss -- then saw Loose Change, 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions dvd -- that was it for me. A small point -- I was particularly struck with the heart-rending radio call from Fire Chief Orio Palmer in the tower just before it collapsed , where-in he said the fires could be handled with 2 lines ( 2 hoses?) and I thought that the perpetrators would likely be listening to emergency dispatches -- I figured that if they thought the fires were doused then their cover would be blown, and maybe that was why they decided to demolish shortly after - just speculating

What i have learned in my engineering studies suggest that the truth about the towers has not yet been told. It simply is not possible that the towers fell due to the given reasons.
I have read about a missile on the second plane that was launched just before the plane hit the tower. Also evidence pointing toward controlled demolition charges exploding are around. I want to see what strong (scientific) evidence there is to support these claims?

It is a whole bunch of bull shit. Right when I saw it happen I thought to myself George Bush did it. It just came to me. I was in grade 9 at the time and every time I see it and watch it, it is more clear, that this was controlled. One skyscraper just does not crumble like this.
