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.

Truth hurts, but heals faster. From day one I believed that these buildings was destroyed by controlled demolition techniques. If you don't know about how buildings are demolished, just look at all three buildings' collapse pattern. They collapsed the same way. What a coincidence? Different type of structures, designed by different architects and engineers, behaving the same way, and falling down as a free fall. We need the truth.

Originally from Detroit, I have studied or worked in the field of architecture for 12 years, in Michigan, Connecticut, Poland, Florida, and Georgia. I worked under a structural engineer for two years whose primary projects were concrete restoration. Today I work mainly on schools and churches.
The fall never made sense to me. I know a lot about concrete and steel with respect to building failure, and though I have read the arguments for natural collapse and wanted to believe them, my own sense of logic denied me. I read up on the design of Minoru Yamasaki's building (I had once visited his office in Michigan) and I cannot understand how even the heat of jet fuel would have caused the floors to slide the way they did, or so perfectly vertically. Also, I have seen a lot of buildings demolished in Detroit, enough to raise suspicion.

Collapse of the three high-rise buildings on 11 Sept 2001 seems improbable as a sole consequence of the airplanes striking the two world trade center buildings. The circumstances of building 7 failing in the same manner as the twin towers is even more improbable. Photographs and video of the impact area on the Pentagon show little evidence of the airplane that reportedly struck the building.

Physics explains how the buildings collapsed. History explains the why. Acknowledging the resources required identifies who. This needn't be technical or complicated, common sense gets to the the same conclusion, it's just hard to accept reality when it's this heinous. Bottom line is, if we can't stop who did this, and bring justice to them, we are too close to being unable to stop what is next.

Since I first saw footage (in 2001) of the building 7 collapse I have believed it to be a controlled demolition. I have personally witness a building demolition and believed what I saw was the same thing. It is hard to fathom a conspiracy of this magnitude but as hard as that is, we must not turn a blind eye to the evidence presented on that day and on this website that suggest further investigation is necessary to get to the truth. I do not enter lightly into placing my professional credentials along side those others listed here demanding full access and disclosure from our government and any other governments or agencies, associations or enterprises outside of government associated with the most horrific event in the history of our country. We owe the truth to all those who have suffered loss and to all future generations.

First the WTC7 awake me. And then, the North and South towers, . and the Pentagon after. The more I learned on 911, the less it fit. A building could collapse about fire, but straight down in its footprint, and at free fall speed. Nope! It's unrealistic.

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.

Since 911 I listened mainly to the reports which were administered by the main stream media. A friend send me this link and listening to the science behind the collapses and the information presented from AE911Truth. There is no other direction to take but a full investigation, not only as to how but WHY? Sincerely, Jane Santangelo

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 has graduate degrees in both library science (University of Alberta, 1993) and city planning (University of Manitoba, 2001). In addition to participating in IUS research projects, he is responsible for managing the IUS Library and assisting students with their research. He teaches in the environmental studies program at the University of Winnipeg and is an adjunct professor with the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba. Michael serves on the editorial board of Plan Canada acts as the book review editor for the Canadian Journal of Urban Research. He is contributes to Progressive Planning magazine and is a regular book reviewer for The Winnipeg Free Press. 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.
