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 am a Seattle area progressive political videographer who supports investigating the truth behind what actually happened on September 11, 2001.
While it may be an emotional journey to undertake, Dennis Kucinich is right, we need to revisit the day of September 11, 2001. There is a huge veil of secrecy concerning the events of that day. Regardless of what you may have heard about what happened on that day, there remain many pertinent questions that need answers. Even with all of the events that are happening around the world today, I cannot think of a more pertinent issue that needs the focus of our attention... to discover the real answer to this one question: What actually caused the collapse of World Trade Center building number 7? There are many severe and meticulously documented anomalies concerning what happened to this building. The real answers to what happened to this building on that day are such forbidden fruit that politicians are afraid to investigate. This is the Achilles heal of the whole 9/11 controversy. Almost anyone who looks at even just the most evident anomalies, will seriously question the official answers concerning that building's collapse. Please familiarize yourself with at least the most evident anomalies of the collapse of building 7. This is meticulously documented actual hard evidence. If you take a minute to review this material, you will realize that for yourself. The question remains: What actually caused the collapse of World Trade Center building number 7?

There are far too many anomalies in the 9/11 Commission Report and the mainstream media reports of what happened to this country on 9/11/01. My first clue was that there were no further attacks anywhere in the USA. My second clue was that no terrorist organization claimed credit for the destruction, although that is a hallmark of terrorism. Something stunk.

As a service member in the Pentagon on 9-11, my memories are vivid and there is also a sense of responsibility to understand what happened that day and why. If you accept the government narrative which has become largely untenable, it speaks to blowback from unjust and unwarranted foreign policy of war and theft. If you believe, as I do, that 9-11 was a state influenced and devised false flag to justify more endless and unpopular US war abroad and totalitarianism at home, then you understand the measurable outcome of a nation that failed to heed the prescient advice of president Eisenhower in many of his most well known yet institutionally ignored speeches. Either way, we need an honest and independent investigation.

How did the 3rd building (WTC7) fall? It was not hit by a plane. It had relatively minor fires burning within and its collapse was reported by the BBC approximately 1/2 hour before it fell with a picture of the building in the background of the reporter's reporting of the story. That clip used to be on YouTube before they pulled it off. It fell completely into its own footprint and looks exactly like a controlled demolition. A building is similar to a tree. If you weaken part of it; for example. by chainsawing part of the trunk then it will fall to the ground on an angle. However, if you take it down in a controlled way, by cutting off pieces at a time then it will come down in a controlled fashion. The same thing had to happen with the 2 large towers. The airplane strikes were a foil or a smokescreen for the controlled demolition explosives placed throughout the buildings. If the airplanes were responsible for their destruction then both would have fallen on an angle into the surrounding city blocks. Instead, they came down at near free fall speed into their own footprints.

I am a self-employed writer, traveler, online entrepreneur and the founder of two unique and groundbreaking movements. I am known by my fans and friends for superb critical thinking, passion for truth, and am considered one of the few (or only) Asians in the world who is able to think outside the box on every subject (since nearly 100 percent of Asians are pure followers and conformists with no freethought). I am also known as a great debunker of lies and propaganda. Additionally, I am also known as a skilled master of debate, utilizing reason, logic and factual points in my favor. I have ample quotes on my sites to back this up. I have been interviewed on various radio shows for my groundbreaking work and published in several magazines.
After examining a mountain of evidence and videos, I've concluded that Mr. Gage of AE911Truth and other experts in the Truth Movement have made an objective, compelling and scientific case that the government's official version of 9/11 is false, does not match the data, has more holes than Swiss cheese, and that a new independent proper investigation of 9/11 must be launched, in order to find the true perpetrators behind the attacks. It is clear that there is a cover up of what happened on 9/11. Key points: - Fire cannot cause the free fall collapse of three skyscrapers, let alone one. That is absolutely impossible. The fire was not hot enough to melt or weaken steel, and even if it was, there is no way that a small chunk of the towers at the top could plummet through the main portion below it at near free fall speed, as though 80,000 tons of steel were merely thin air. That is 100 percent impossible. Never before or after 9/11 have steel high rises been destroyed by fire. That is a fact that completely demolishes and disproves the official 9/11 story. - Basic logic and common sense also tell you that if office fires could destroy an entire skyscraper, then the demolition industry would be out of business, because why would they need to spend months setting up explosive charges to destroy a building, when a match and kerosene would be all that was needed to do the job? - There is also no precedent for a 757 airline to crash on land and disintegrate, leaving no debris, as two of them did on 9/11 - the Pentagon crash and the Shanksville crash. Moreover, the alleged maneuvers of AA77 were not possible for a 757, especially for an amateur pilot flying it for the first time, and it is also aerodynamically impossible for a plane to move at 400 knots close to the ground. No pilot in the world could accomplish that. And the feat has NEVER been replicated in a flight simulator under the same conditions. - It is also not possible for NORAD to fail to intercept four airlines on the same day. Even former NORAD tactical directors have stated this (See PatriotsQuestion911.com). At most, they may fail to intercept one airliner, but not four. No way. Someone must have ordered NORAD to stand down, or prevented them from reacting to standard protocol. Besides Mr. Gage's compelling film 9/11 Blueprint for Truth I also urge everyone out there to also watch the film Zero: An Investigation into 9/11 on YouTube for free. It contains many irrefutable points and credible experts, including Nobel Prize Winners, that completely debunk the official 9/11 story. Any fence sitter who watches it will have no doubt in their mind that they were not told the truth. We should not let such lies and cover ups get away. It is an insult to the victims and their families if we do nothing about this. I applaud Mr. Gage and his volunteers for their passion, courage and efforts. May all our efforts culminate in an unstoppable momentum that will unveil the truth behind 9/11 and bring justice to the true perpetrators. It's time that the good guys come together to root out the bad guys until they have nowhere to run. These criminals, whoever they are, must learn that they are not above the law, and that their actions will have due consequences. As the leader of two online movements, I will do my part to help get the word out about this movement in its aim to unveil the truth. As Arthur Schopenhauer said, All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

As a taxpaying U.S. citizen for the past 40 years, in New Jersey and Maine I have a right to request an investigation of the events leading up to/encompassing 9/11/2001, and after the demolishing of the World Trade Centers buildings. It is obvious that the facts of that time period have been manipulated, ignored and suppressed by a terrorist faction involved in the power structure of my government. It is my faith and belief that the terrorist factions involved should and will be brought to justice, but only by honest and forthright investigation. Your oath of office binds you as an American to do just that.

Coming from an Engineer and Business Schools background, I worked for more than eleven years for major companies such as 'Groupe Saint Gobain' and 'SHV Energy - Primagaz'. In between, I experienced an entrepreneur position by initiating and co-creating a new generation of plywood panels, 100% renewables. Thus, my specialties are various, from 'day to day' businesses preoccupation such as Purchasing, Marketing, Sales and Business Unit management to a 'helicopter view' position which allowed me to be in close contact with Primagaz Board Members as 'Innovation and Business Development' Director. During my last position, I developed six patents for, among other topics, IoT and future of Energy consumption optimization. Working on an international level helps me to challenge 'habits', maintaining genuine curiosity and an 'open mind'.
I rely for this part on experienced construction engineers and professional firefighters, whose statements and analysis are far more accurate and appropriate than anything I could add. I would just underline that if ''nano-thermite'' was indeed retrieved on the sites of the different 'crashed skyscrapers', one can only honestly doubt the official explanation.

I have been working as an electrical engineer for over 5 years. I am deeply interested in studying the events of 9-11, arguably one of the most pivotal events in modern human history.
I never questioned the official explanation of events of 9-11 until the winter of 2006 when I saw a brief video on youtube of WTC 7 collapsing. At the time I never even knew there was a 3rd building collapse. Even though it's difficult not think of the political implications, I try to focus purely on the physics and science of the WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapses. After reviewing the videos and witness testimony of the building collapses I have very little doubt that all three buildings were brought down in a controlled manner.

Through the evidence presented on AE911truth.org and others, as well as through common knowledge of basic physical principles, I am left with no other plausible explanation for the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings than that of intentionally placed explosive and/or incendiary devices.

There seems to be a disconnect between the outcome and the cause of the tower's destruction. When I saw the towers implode symmetrically, in an orderly fashion, my immediate thought was that it can not happen due to a non-symmetric loading. The more the so-called experts, including the NIST engineers, tried to explain it, the murkier it got. I appreciate the effort of AE911Truth for continuing diligently to uncover the truth that does not contradict our engineering knowledge.

My projects included building foundation design and construction oversight.
I have training in civil engineering and structural steel design; structural steel buildings do not collapse in a brittle catastrophic manner. Structural steel connections are designed to yield with plastic deformation, allowing for significant ductility/elasticity. After observing the WTC video collapses on video, I can state that it is impossible for such rapid loss of structural support to occur in the underlying floors. With fully movement-restrained connections, some mobilization of structural capacity should have occurred, resulting in a slower rate of decent, and an irregular collapse configuration.

I was shocked by 9/11. As an optimist I gave the official story the benefit of the doubt. I am not a believer in conspiracies but your documentary gave me pause. If there is a hint of impropriety in the official story, then it is likely to only be the tip of the iceberg. I hope to god it is wrong, but in my profession, hope doesn't cut it. I need to see evidence that makes sense. The NIST backtracking and weak arguments don't reassure me; as an engineer, I understand the issues raised. Also, in my industry, an objective third party review is always used. I would expect the same from our government.

It is ludicrous that the 911 commission did not investigate the possibility of intentional demolition by use of explosives of the 3 world trade center towers. I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty. It needs to be repealed after a REAL investigation of the events of 9/11 brings out the truth of what happened on that day.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Penn State University. I worked for a developer (commercial and residential) for two years after graduating. During my engineering courses I studied structures with Harry West, an excellent structural engineering professor. During that semester, we did a case study on the disaster that happened at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City in the 80's. I recently looked up the information about the event (in particular when I was watching Mr. Gage's videos about WTC 7 and the 9/11 disaster in general) and was surprised to discover that the Kansas City disaster was the biggest structural steel failure, in terms of loss of life, until 9/11! I wonder what engineering students have to study now when the facts about 9/11 are so unclear and decidedly incorrect in the government version that NIST released. Why can't we get a proper investigation into these events that addresses the real facts presented to us, like free fall collapse through path of greatest resistance. It's nonsense that the government would even have high school students believe such stuff, let alone advanced university engineering students. Please include my name in your petition. I think the victims of this disaster and the subsequent victims (both US soldiers and Iraqi citizens and US citizens in general) deserve the truth.
I was shocked to see the scientific facts that Mr. Gage presented regarding the collapse of WTC 7. It should be obvious even to laypeople that the collapse was a controlled demolition. Even newscasters of the day reported they thought that was what they were seeing. Why is the government hiding the truth from us? It is obvious that explosives, at the very least, were used; more than likely, based on the finding of the microspheres of iron in the dust, the incendiary thermite was used. I am not a 'truther' or kookspiracist. I simply have an engineering background and am amazed that people who see Mr. Gage's presentations would think that he is making things up: that the laws of physics took a break on that September day. I now think and feel so differently about our government and even about agencies like NIST and the ASCE that have failed the engineering community on this incident. Why didn't these agencies explain the obvious fallacies and discrepancies present in those events? I feel betrayed by our government. I also feel a deep sense of distrust for such agencies that have the responsibility to protect the general public by providing unbiased and truthful investigations into incidents that harm and kill us citizens. I remember studying the Kansas City Hyatt disaster in engineering school. We were taught about the consequences of negligence in our work as engineers, how loss of life and property can occur as a result of poor work on our part as engineers. How can current day engineering students look at 9/11 and learn anything when so many paradoxes and controversies surround it? Our government needs to reopen the investigation and find out what really happened. So many lives have been lost and continue to be lost as a result of the rash decisions and outcomes based on what was perceived to have happened, most of which is unsubstantiated by facts and scientific laws that must not be disregarded. I wholeheartedly support Mr. Gage's movement to get a new investigation, and I hope he is able to achieve what he has set out to do: reveal the truth.

With my background in mechanical engineering, I could not deny the data being presented on the program from many different technical experts.

I have BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering. I won a nationwide engineering competition during my senior design project for my BS degree. This offered me a paid research position at Oak Ridge National Laboratories to do my Master's thesis research, and I worked there for a year in their materials science division. I specialized in heat transfer and fluid mechanics for my thesis, as well as materials science. Graphite foam was the material I used for my research, because it was newly developed and has many applications due to its extremely high thermal diffusivity and conductivity.
9/11 was the most horrifying day in American history. To any engineer or physicist, it is also one of the most mysterious days in our history. On that day, the official story claims that small range office fires (less than 10% of the total floor area) made two 110-story skyscrapers burst into dust in 10 seconds each. At 5:20 pm the same day, WTC7 also collapsed. NIST noted that WTC7 fell at 'free fall acceleration' for 2.25 seconds of its collapse, which proves that that tower was demolished. For a building to go from being in static equilibrium one second to undergoing full free-fall acceleration into its own structure the next second, the interior structure of the building must be compromised before those members were forced to buckle due to being overloaded. The twin towers collapsed very fast as well, at over 80% the acceleration of gravity. Since the bottom sections of each tower were undamaged, and also built with thicker columns than the top section, one would expect the collapse to slow down and then stop as floors were being crushed (absorbing kinetic energy). However, this wasn't the case. If people continue to believe the lies we were told that day, our country is doomed to a future of tyranny.

"No high rise has ever to my knowledge come down by fire alone. Larry Silverstein's words on building 7, ""we decided to pull it"", speak volumes. So does video on the scene of firefighters reporting explosions in the building. Building 7 came down at free fall speed right into its own footprint: a classic demolition. They could not have done a demo job that well on the spur of the moment on 9/11. I figure it would take a week of planning and planting explosives, not hours in the midst of chaos. I was at Michigan Tech about to graduate when this happened and it sent shock waves through my career and life. Our college in spring 2001 had the best turnout of companies hiring ever, and fall 2001 after 911 we had the worst ever turnout.

I am a registered professional engineer with masters degrees in civil engineering and business. I'm a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, NY) and a former U.S. Army Officer (Engineer). I'm trained in the use of explosives in demolition operations, as well as in security engineering. I'm also a former firefighter and emergency medical technician.
I am confident the destruction of WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 was a deliberate and precisely executed demolition operation. The evidence currently available is quite clear. The American public deserves to know the truth.

I have a BSME and MSME from West Virginia University. I've been a research engineer at a DOE national lab for 27 years. I was a member of the Flow Rate Technical Group that investigated and determined the oil leak rate from the Deepwater Horizon.
It is impossible for Building 7 to have collapsed in such a perfectly symmetrical manner by any means other than an intentional controlled demolition by a large team of experienced engineers. I have no idea who did or why, but it was not a natural collapse caused by office fires.

I am not a conspiracy zealot, but this group of architects and engineers seems to be highly reputable. For that reason, I do support a new investigation into the events of 9/11.

All still open question are visible in the documentary '9/11, The new Pearl Harbor'. USA Government must answer to all open questions. Pancake theory is ridiculous. Temperatures were extreme. Nobody explained why the explosions. As citizen of the world my heart still is blooding.

Occupation: Electrical Engineer
I graduated from Virginia Tech with a BS in Electrical Engineering in 1966, then served 2 years active duty in the US Army Corps of Engineers. I was an instrument engineer for DuPont for 5 years and a systems analyst/computer programmer for STSC for 10 years. I was then a self-employed engineer/analyst until my retirement; my clients included Duke University, CB Fleet, and Mailboxes Etc.
As Richard Gage has pointed out, the twin towers each exploded whereas WTC Building 7 imploded (collapsed). His emphasis on the controlled demolition of WTC 7 is appropriate as this is the easiest case to prove.

Bachelors of Science in electrical engineering. I'm an overhaul and maintenance engineer for hydro generation, with a strong emphasis in power system stability, relay engineering, and controls engineering. I work with a consulting firm conducting power system stability analysis and excitation system design.
The work done by professionals to refute the NIST report is concise and simple. When simulating the power grid, results are never perfect and can be misleading. It is possible to adjust parameters until a desired outcome is achieved. Simulation of grid parameters are obtained from testing of the equipment only. Repeated simulations where parameters are modified to fit desired outcomes is considered dry labbing. The NIST report appears to be based mainly on computer simulation tuned to achieve the desired outcome of a plane and fire collapsing the towers, but it disregards any test results. I have faith in physics, not in the NIST report.

31 years as an engineer at The Boeing Company. No specific training in demolition of buildings.
Sufficient doubt exists concerning the destruction of the twin towers and building 7 to justify a scientific investigation from credible scientists to be approved and funded by the federal government.

Occupation: Structural Engineer
I have a masters degree in civil engineering with an emphasis on structural design. I've been working as a structural engineer since 2002. Most of the designs that I do have to withstand hurricane and earthquake forces. I have vast design experience in buildings, although not in skyscrapers because there aren't many of them here in Puerto Rico. I've designed coliseums for several thousand people, utility buildings, steel and concrete tanks, and more. My client list includes big pharmaceutical companies like Baxter and Abbott, and Puerto Rico's top construction companies like CIC Construction, Bermudes and Logo, Aireko, and others.
It was a controlled demolition and we all have been lied to about what happened that day: about how the towers and building 7 were brought down. The evidence is overwhelming.

There is simply too much physical evidence that was ignored or unexplained in the first investigations. Another investigation is warranted. In these days after 911, the public is often told that if one has nothing to hide, one should not object to the ubiquitous surveillance that is done in the name of national security. Likewise, if the government has nothing to hide, it should welcome another investigation that gets to the truth. Our elected officials need to muster the courage to insist on a new investigation in spite of the powerful resistance they most certainly will face.

I have a BSME with FEA specialty, and a MSE with resource sustainability focus and top honors. I have also been trained in fire cause and origin and worked for two years investigating fires.
The collapse of Bldg 7 is very suspicious, and video footage of its collapse appears consistent with a demolition implosion.

I know complex systems, i.e the electrical grid, and the modes of dynamic response. Within the timeframes of these building collapses it an improbability approaching near zero that discrete components can fail symetrically. I have better odds winning the powerball lottery - three times in a row.Furthermore when systems fail energy release is asymmetrical because, well, something failed. All one has to do is watch movies like the latest Superman, Pacific Rim, or The Avengers to see how a building would collapse if catestrophically damaged on one side. It topples over, it does not fall straight down at free fall rate.
