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.

Graduated with a degree in Engineering Science, specializing in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. During the first two years of this degree I studied all the engineering disciplines. I also graduated top of my class in a two year full-time education in computer programming. My career consisted of process engineering; wastewater collection and treatment engineering; and software authoring over 34 years. Of relevance, as a consultant, I performed advanced analysis of mechanical lifting devices for client John Deere.
I have studied 9/11 for many years with particular emphasis on the physics and engineering presented in well over 200 scientific documentaries, papers, books, and 9/11 Truth related conference videos or proceedings. More specifically the investigations of evidence surrounding thermite, thermate, and nanothermite. While I have read credible accounts about the people behind the horrific crimes, I try to think and speak about the proofs that all 7 WTC towers were destroyed mostly by controlled demolition.

WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?

On 9/11 I took a short cut to where I would have been doing the make up for a Fashion Week show. When I got off the subway, the North Tower had been hit. All those around me kept saying it was an accident & a small plane that had hit. A few minutes later, I heard a thunderous noise coming from the NW. I looked to the Hudson & saw the second aircraft. I was standing on the North side of the South Tower. The aircraft hit high above my head. I didn't run but attempted to dodge all that was raining down. During this time, all I remember was jumping out of my skin numerous times from massive explosions which went off in both the North & South Towers causing even more debris. It wasn't until I began researching what happened that day, as the media never talked about anything I saw, including what I heard & smelled, that I finally found out the truth. The actions of not only our government but those around the world is chiefly due to the official 9/11 tale that continues to haunt me and will until the truth is revealed to all.
I was at the North side of the South Tower when I watched the second aircraft fly down the Hudson and crash into the South Tower directly above my head. Unlike most, I didn't run, I had gone into shock & did my best to dodge all that was raining down upon me. What I saw, heard, smelled, was never talked about within our media. There were many very loud explosions which made me jump out of my skin & after each, more debris, body parts, etc. came raining down upon me. I have no recollection of how long I was there, nor how I got to the ferry to New Jersey. But right as I was getting on the ferry, the South Tower collapsed. I surely would have been dead. After moving back to California in 10 days, I received EMDR treatments for my PTSD, I began researching the truth of all I experienced that day because all the media accounts contradicted everything I know I saw, heard, smelled, etc. This opened a Pandora's box so massive & unending that I continue to research to this day. The health problems I have continued to have since then are many. The CDC tested me & said I was fine. I went to be tested independently with the results showing positive for 5 very toxic substances that are found in bombs, not buildings. Those who heard, saw & experienced the bombs going off please come forward so we can join together as a force to bring about justice & the truth of what honestly happened that day.

Subsequently, I managed facilities and environmental projects, programs, and a 60 -70 person office of a major consulting firm. I am currently semi-retired, working part-time from home.
I read the 911 Commission Report to confirm what I had heard: that this report did not even mention the collapse of World Trade Center Tower #7. This is true. To me, this report seems very superficial. I question the official version for the reasons of the collapse of the 3 towers because of their symmetrical collapse from non-symmetrical damage and that tower 7 collapsed at all. Tower 7 was not impacted by a plane, had non-symmetrical fires burning, and collapsed some 7 hours later.

The official story has so many holes in it it is a wonder that it does not collapse under its own weight. The evidence presented by the engineers and architects seeking the truth about 9/11 makes sense. The collapse modes of the WTC buildings do not make sense based on any structural evaluation based on airplane crash damage and subsequent fires.

The most damning evidence (for me) was from a particular video of the top of (one of) the two towers starting to topple in one direction. Yet miraculously, the mass starts to correct itself and the building falls pancake style. This defies the basic laws of physics. The momentum developed by that mass in one direction could only correct itself if the feet of the building were pulled out from under it. (I don't believe this was anoptical illusion. - - - - WTC 7: controlled demolition, no questions. - - - - I believe that after the 1993 bombing, all the WTC towers were wired for controlled demolition in order to pre-empt a potential domino effect in downtown Manhattan should a more powerful bomb cause one of twin towers to topple. The damage would have been potentially catastrophic. - - - - This could have easily been accomplished, and would certainly fall under a national security operation, complete with a legitimate and understandable blanket of confidentiality. If ever the towers did need to come down (which it turned out they did) the act would be committed under the need for national security.

Feel it is high time for American people to get off their asses and defend their freedom. Tree of democracy must be watered by the blood of patriots from time to time. Seems like the fellow citizens of Thomas Jefferson forgot about that simple rule which was proven by history numerous times. Feel that the evidence regarding collapse are sufficient enough to consider it a controlled demolition.

I worked at AMOCO Oil as an Operator. I am not an engineer or architect myself, but worked as a go-between for engineers and the builders, and I also worked as an inspector at times there. I studied building demolition for awhile because it interested me as to what they could do with explosives to bring down constructions in a relatively safe manner. I have seen several.
When I first saw the buildings collapse, I wondered why they demolished the buildings just because the jets had run into them. I know that such structural damage can be repaired without bringing down the whole building. When I heard the media's explanation, I honestly didn't realize how many people would believe that garbage.

I'm 34 and since about 2003 I have researched 9-11 and came to the understanding that 19 hijackers didn't slip into this country unnoticed and didn't act alone without any other entity helping them achieve their objective.
For building 7 to not be mentioned in the 9-11 Commissions final report is unacceptable and fraudulent. The general public, many of whom have never read the report will claim everything has been investigated and have moved on without any thought other than what they watched on t.v.

Employment experiences include Industrial Security, Military Robotics and weapons platform fabrication. Currently employed working with professional Video and Audio equipment repair and systems maintenance.
The numerous videos and their associated audio tracks have been very useful in my examination of the events recorded during September 11, 2001. First responder interviews and their 'Oral Histories' which have also been archived, contribute to my plethora of content to examine and evaluate regarding my personal research into the collapse of the 3 WTC buildings. What I conclude is that the events of that day are evidence of a 'staged' terrorist event. With the numerous details surrounding 9/11, such as the Wall Street trades, lack of air defense, Norman Mineta's observations of events in the PEOC bunker, in addition to numerous other scholarly works that examine the forensic evidence have me convinced that an independent investigation is essential.

Mr. Gage, I have just watched your DVD. I have a hundred more questions. Yours is about the 10th I've seen so far, and one of the best, convincing me beyond any reasonable doubt that the towers were deliberately demolished. I have no technical experience except common sense. I want to see the criminals brought to justice!
My concern is that Congress will influence any independent investigation! Our congress has proven itself to be a corrupt political group that is about furthering its own agenda, (ie using 9/11 to justify two illegal occupations, and killing up to a million people. ) I volunteer myself to serve on any investigative committee you can assemble.

I find it difficult to understand how never before in history has a steel framed building never collapsed due to fire, but on 9 11 we are to believe that three collapsed for just this reason. They say that it collapsed because of both the fire and the force of the aircraft striking the buildings. But if that were true why did Building 7 collapse? Why did we not hear much if anything about Building 7? If it did collapse because of fire why does it look so much like a building that was demolished and not one that had just fallen toward its weak side?

I'm in my last year, finishing a bachelor degree in architecture. I've gone through a lot of education which helps in giving me insight into the 9/11 story. Although I do not think you have to be that well educated to see something is obviously very wrong. My future plan will be to go and continue my studies in either Tokyo or New York (if I'm not on a no-fly list, having signed this petition 😉 ). I've always been very fond of America but I hate to see where it's going in its age of war and fascism. It used to be great.
I've been looking at the evidence of 9/11 for a long time. I visited ground zero back in 2004 but the idea that those buildings could fall like that always puzzled me. I am not one to jump to conclusions. I've been studying both the evidence provided by the 9/11 Truth Movement (in collaboration with experts of course) as well as evidence coming from Debunkers (and experts claiming the official story is valid). Whether this was an attack by Al-Qaeda or an actual inside job by the government of the United States of America. I cannot say, although I really hope it's not the latter. I think no matter what, a thorough investigation must be demanded. It's disgusting to see how people can't question authority and their government in America without being called unpatriotic. This is especially obvious when watching the controlled media. Asking questions and having a critical mind is what democracy is all about. Something weird happened on 9/11 and I have no doubt that those buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Who did that, I couldn't say. But this calls for an entirely new investigation. There are way too many unanswered questions about 9/11. The whole world deserves the truth. I encourage you not to present the evidence in a way that implies it was an inside job. Just demand the truth regarding whether those buildings were brought down with explosives. That way you can at least get most people to listen. Allow the rest of the truth to come later.

Operations Manager for a small precast concrete manufacturing company. Not only do we manufacture concrete - we had our own collapse when a silo filled with 25 tons of cement fell through the top of a 2-story building (6/23/03). Despite the fact that this building was put together in the early 60's using minimal assistance from outside sources; our building came through like a tank, comparatively.
Concrete simply does NOT disintegrate the way it did at the WTC. The cement in the concrete binds the materials - including the steel that is poured around. As I look at the bare skeleton of steel that is the remains, there is no possible way that a collapse would strip the concrete off of the steel - completely! Always, when trying to find the perpetrator of a crime, follow the money

That same day that it happened, I had a feeling that it was caused on purpose, for some reason, that I did not know at the moment. There is a saying,history repeats itself. This happened before, namely the sinking of the Lusitania to have an excuse to enter WWI and the provoking of the Japanese to bomb pearl harbor, to enter WWII. Finally, the destruction of wtc, to have an excuse to enter Iraq, to gain the oil market.

After graduation I moved to the Seattle WA area and acquired a job at The Boeing Company. I worked at Boeing for 6 years and then set out on my own. As a child growing up in a home with and engineer and architect as a father I learned a lot by helping him with drawings ans designs at a very young age.
I knew from the first day that something was not right. About 9 months after 9/11 I was on a business trip and was a captive audience for a Pakistani taxi for almost an hour. He proceeded to tell me the story from his homeland of how the US wanted to build a pipeline through Afghanistan and that is why the US inflicted the 9/11 terror attacks upon themselves so they could invaded Afghanistan. I knew that something was fishy about the collapses but I was not ready to believe that our own leaders perpetrated it and I still don't want to believe that they did BUT I have done hundreds if not thousands of hours of research since then and the only conclusion that I can come up with is that the buildings should have not fallen as the official story says and guilt by deception is all that I can say about the current government officials that must know. Also I have a family friend that was one of the Firemen that was dispatched to Ground Zero. I believe that he was there within three days as a group of them drove straight from the Seattle area to NY. Though he does not know my feelings about 9/11 I have questioned him about the molten metal under the rubble pile. He would be the person that would know as his team was one of the special task forces that was dispatched into the depths of the rubble and he confirmed to me that there was a lot of molten metal down there he also took it a step further when I asked him where it came from and he stated that the Jet Fuel burning caused it. Well he may believe what his higher ups have told him but I have taken classes in physics and my professional background is in metallurgy and I know that that is WRONG!

Obviously the buildings could not have collapsed without help. The prospect of planes and fire causing a global collapse is nowhere near plausible and only need be explained in detail to the layman. Regardless of how they say they fell there is a tremendous redundancy and progressive design as you move down the building that has to be considered. Given loads increase with height, both in lateral and load bearing capacities, the base would undoubtedly deflect any presumed inertia from floors that were exclusively outside the enormously strong core vertical element designed to support the top 100 floors (at the 10th floor) as well as having been likely built to 2 1/2 times the maximum expected loads. This core would at some point be charged with crushing itself along with the drag from connections to the trussed floor systems which were only going to provide pressure relative to their loading specifications. Essentially no matter how you want to look at it the official story is beyond impossible.

The entire official scenario of 9/11 is false for many scientific reasons but also reasons not plausible such as American air defense system non-existent on 9/11. The allegation that planes flown by non pilots is not plausible. Buildings including #7 collapsing into their footprints is signature of controlled demolitions.

I do not have technical knowledge of structures, but I have a scientific mind (B.S. Psychology) and tend to follow the evidence.
There is too much evidence available already that suggests that something helped at least one of the WTC buildings fall. I feel that this evidence warrants a true investigation, since the public deserves a right to know what happened, and if there are additional mass murderers on the loose, they need to be brought to justice.

Had it not been for Richard Gage's Blueprint for Truth I would of never given the events of 9/11 a second thought. I hadn't read the official 9/11 Commission Report because it looked thick enough to have covered every second of the day. So I am utterly surprised that the WTC #7 was never mentioned. The fact that they skipped over that event should be enough to prompt a new independent investigation.

I have no special technical expertise in the field of engineering. It is apparent to even an untrained observer however that a massive building like the trade center towers probably wouldn't just fold up nicely like a deck of cards in such a short interval of time without some pretty sophisticated engineering , expert demolition. I also find it interesting that the real terrorism was perpetuated by the press post 9/11. I am only a concerned citizen , not an engineer or architect. Enough professionals are concerned enough that there must be sufficient reason for close scrutiny of the collapses , especially considering , profit motives, and recent attacks upon the bill of rights . This is not a time to let sleeping dogs lie , and possibly proof there should never be.

I hail from New Orleans, where I worked in metal fabrication and boat building fields associated with the fishing industry, as well as other textile industries. I moved to New Mexico 10 years ago and attended NMSU-A as a nontraditional student, receiving an AA. I became interested in the events of 9/11 only after watching my home town gutted, and wondered what else had been destroyed. Thus began my eye-opening journey into the truth movement. I am a Truther.
I am so very thankful for your association, as the voice of sanity and reason has been absent in the official narrative of the events surrounding the collapse of the WTC structures. The evidence for demolition is overwhelming.

I'm not an expert in any sense, but i have heard you experts discussing this matter and it was logical. I believe the experts involved are neutral in the way they are forming their evidence. None of the facts are made up. No one is trying or forcing to connect the dots, they connects themselves all on their own. I'm glad there are people out there who do see, what the media and government said about what we saw, don't match up. Although I'm not an expert, I would like to join this movement and support the experts that are proving this in a scientific and logical matter.
I was watching the building collapse live on TV and something about it looked weird. I was impressed that it fell down so cleanly. I was a freshman in high school at that point so I didn't think about the implications of what I thought when I saw the buildings fall. Later I will come to find out the logical reason for that. That I was controlled demolition. When I watched all video clips out there about the people explaining the way the buildings fell. It made more sense than what I watched on the History Channel about 9/11 and the pancake theory. At one point during that documentary one of the chief architect said himself that these buildings could withstand an impact from an airplane and still stand. I'm very sad about all the innocent people who died in this tragedy. And I feel it is our moral duty to find out the truth!

I doubt very much the official story regarding the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and especially the collapse of WTC Building 7. I seriously doubt that jet fuel could melt, and effectively disintegrate, the steel support columns, causing a complete collapse of the support structure and reducing it to powder. I believe it was a controlled demolition. As for WTC 7, the collapse of that building is even more intriguing, since it was not hit, and it did not collapse until later that day. There are a lot more very questionable events surrounding this incident which beg for some answers!

Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel. Especially the massive size of the columns in the World Trade Buildings. Follow the Money
