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 graduated with a BSE in Electrical Engineering in 1974 and went to the USPTO and worked in Class 290 and Class 318 for 7 years. Then I transferred to Fort Monmouth, Patent Law Division of CECOM, and stayed there for 3 years. Then I transferred to the Underwater Sound Lab (NUSC) in New London where I stayed for 2 years and then left to pursue self employment as owner of a video store. I qualify as an 'expert' on the subject of perpetual motion devices especially when that kind of prime mover is attached to a dynamo (Class 290). As the law allows for a requirement for a working model for such, I viewed many attempts to secure a patent for one and never issued a one. Prior to all that, I was a Missile Technician in the USN for 7 years and was stationed first on the SSB(N) 632 Blue Crew for 5 patrols and then on the SSB(N) 659 Gold Crew for 4 before leaving to attend UCONN.
"I watched 9/11 happen from the living room of my parent's home in Newnan, GA as it was presented on television. I heard what was said and noticed things that were either denied or glossed over later. So, when the video ""Loose Change"" came out, I recalled my experience that day and came to the conclusion that it was now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the blood was on the hands of the US government (just as all wars have been)."

9/11 forever changed my life. I lived in Florida at the time and 2 months after it happened, flew to NYC simply because I felt I had to show respect and share the grief and somehow let others know strangers out in the world cared. 7 yrs. later, I quit work, sold my home, left Florida and moved to New York. There is a feeling here that cannot be described. Something in the eyes when you look at someone else walking the streets of the city ......... I am a charter member of the 9/11 memorial org.

The events on 9/11 seemed very suspicious at the time. On further review, Building 7 is the smoking gun of 9/11. The building was obviously brought down by explosives. It takes planning and skill to bring a building down. There is no way the explosives were planted the day of the collapse. The fact that Buildings 1 & 2 leases were sold to Larry Silverstein, a developer, by the NYC Port Authority months before is also suspect. There is widespread knowledge in the real estate community that the twin towers were white elephants and both buildings needed significant asbestos mediation to the tune of 200 million. Silverstein made a 4.5 billion dollars profit from insurance claims.

The collapse of the WTC towers and WTC 7 strongly resemble that of a perfectly carried out controlled demolition: a straight-down collapse of the structure at close to free-fall speed. Video-footage showing flashes of light across the buildings and witnesses talking of hearing explosions shortly before the collapse support this.

If these later are specialist in this kind of logistic, they would have remove a country as Israel which has created in the heart of the Arabic World since 61 years. In fact, before attacking USA, it's much easier, for Arabic Muslims, to attack Israel. But nobody dare to do that. So my supposition is impossible. - - - - 9/11 is orchestrated by a Big Power as US Government to prove to the World that they are threaten by Islam and terrorists. - - - - Unfortunately, US Government has succeed his hit. And all the World fell into their trap.

The surviving evidence on WTC collapse, namely: * Photographs of WTC on September 11, and Ground Zero afterward * Videos of the attack * Seismic records from the Palisades station * Evidence of persistent underground fires at Ground Zero * Limited metallurgical examination of the structural steel * Analysis of samples of dust that settled around Ground Zero * Firefighter reports documented by audiotape * The apparent admission by Building 7's landlord that the FDNY demolished Building 7. All point incontrovertibly to a planned, controlled demolition of all these structures.

I'm a retired Marine Engineer, having sailed on merchant ships for over 25 years. Prior to that I worked in the construction industry as a cement mason and am familiar with and have worked installing and finishing concrete flooring on Q decking which is the name we used for the metal sheets that the concrete was poured on (as was in the 3 WTC buildings).
We are being told not to believe what we see, especially with the collapse of building # 7 which went completely down in almost a total free fall. I'm somewhat familiar with the work of David Ray Griffin but found it so frustrating that more people didn't take notice or get involved. Now that Richard Gage has gotten involved and is getting a league of qualified Architects & Engineers behind him I hope that this vital cause can move forward and we can get a real investigation.

From recent studies and evidence, I feel it is necessary to re-open the 9/11 investigation. Too much information was overlooked and under-investigated and covered up. Too many people heard a series of explosions and the Building # 7 was a definite implosion, nothing related to the Twin Towers. The vertical throwing of steel beams in the Twin Towers is evidence of explosions beyond the power of jet fuel. Visual evidence shows explosive action below the jet impact. Something is wrong with the investigations of NIST and FEMA. Experienced fire fighters and people familiar with explosives contradict what NIST and FEMA report.

He is a news contributor for the Planetizen website, the primary contributor to the Institute's weblog and an occasional contributor to Alternet.
As a city planner I have also been concerned for professional reasons that the official explanation for the collapses is wrong, and that the fallout from the events have had serious implications for America's cities and those who plan them. A couple of years ago I wrote an op-ed on this theme for the Planetizen website (After the Fall: Why City Planners Must Seek Answers About 9/11)

After merely considering how the buildings methodically collapsed under gravity and that a jet fuel fire can not create a molten masses that were observed at the crime scene I am left with the conclusion that there were other energy sources involved in bringing the buildings down that government investigations have not discussed.

It is impossible to accept Building-7 as a spontaneous collapse defying the laws of physics, and disregarding all of the foreknowledge evidence. The fire in the South tower could not possibly have voided the redundant steel frame structure 800 to 1,000 feet below the area of combustion. The vertical core columns in the North tower would have slowed down and stopped the progression of collapse at some point, not near free fall!

I have a basic knowledge of chemistry & have witnessed a thermite reaction.
I believe the evidence supporting a controlled demolition is significant if not overwhelming. The near free fall speed of each collapse into the path of most resistance, lateral ejections & squibs from the Twin Towers, molten metal at each site, and a whole host of anomalies with building 7 all discount the official version of 9/11.

I'm concerned for the connection between 9/11 and the attacks in Madrid (3/11). I think the amount of coincidences are quite significant for widening the ways of investigation. Studying Madrid 3/11 as a possible part of the same conspiracy could report new clues and evidences as far as the support of many people concerned of the attacks in Madrid.

I graduated 12th grade at Smoky Hill high school and attended one year of college at Community College of Aurora, Colorado. I'm 33 years old, and currently doing temporary work. In my spare time I independently research 9/11 & historical events and archive a great deal of news and documentary video of 9/11, with which I aid groups I believe credible in their research. I'm experienced as an intermediate level video editor and I run a youtube channel questioning the events of September 11th.
My 3 years experience researching these events, has led me to many questions, not answered by official investigations. The overwhelming evidence indicates the 3 World Trade Center buildings were demolished, and a cover-up has taken place. Richard Gage, and the ae911truth team have done an excellent job highlighting such evidence. There desperately needs to be a more thorough independent investigation of these collapses, to answer these and other questions.

The evidence presented by AE911Truth, especially the eye witnesses cause me to doubt official reports. If this evidence can not be repudiated, I must conclude that lies have been told. It looks to me like the buildings were brought down by explosives. There is safety in the multitude of councilors. A truly independent investigation will be prudent.

I have seen many, many videos of the buildings falling and throughout all of them, all over you can see evidence of actual explosions traveling all the way down to the base of the towers. In wtc 7 you can see an arc in the middle of the building blowing out the structure support before the whole thing comes down. I'm also curious about Larry Silverstiens pull it statement to demolish it. He says the pull it was for firefighters to get out because it might fall. However all the firefighters had all cleared out at 11:30 a.m that day while the building fell at around 5. Why would he lie about this?

My education is primarily in social and political movements of 20th Century California. I studied flashpoints throughout the 60s, shifting my focus from direct action as an undergrad, to the symbolic resistance and radical aesthetic of youth culture as a grad student. Unable to sit still, I opted out of specialization and headed overseas. In the years since 2004, I have been working as a high school teacher in Temecula and Oceanside, Ca, I traveled across South America and I am currently teaching English with my wife in Taiwan. I am tutoring and writing essays in my free time.
I was as distraught as every other American to watch the towers go down. I was confused and outraged at the audacity of the attack, however I soon found my anger misplaced as many obvious questions were being ignored by officials and/or simply not asked by the Press Corps. I've lost many friends suggesting that attack was an inside job, with me be written off as a conspiratorial nutcase. I have hope and faith, however, that the tide is turning. Intellectuals in all the right fields are stepping forward with questions and evidence that can't be ignored. Not for much longer, that is.
