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 just a concerned citizen and would like to get the Truth out and to other citizens who flat out deny anything told to them other than the media. Thank you for letting me sign.
I am no professional but I live in Las Vegas and have eye-witnessed the implosion of 5 older casinos and the way the WTC buildings went down were exactly the same to me. Plus building 7 just dropped with no plane hitting it....cant anyone see there is something wrong with what they have been told?

I witnessed the twin towers go down... and was on a cell phone at the time describing the events to my wife. I was shocked (and remarked to her) that it seemed as if the buildings simply dropped out from under the burning areas where the planes hit. It made absolutely no sense to me at the time. I remember the second tower in particular; there was a tremendous explosion-- and the top of the building appeared to actually rise and then fall at an angle. Looking back now on the events of that day... and taking into account the considerable evidence available on 9/11: Blueprint for truth indicating a controlled demolition, the collapse that never made sense to me previously, now makes perfect sense. No doubt whatsoever in my mind that these buildings (all three) were deliberately brought down.

On 9/11, I watched for 15 minutes (about 2:30 EDT), by then Osama bin Laden was already being blamed. I stepped away muttering, How could he be so stupid? This is exactly what Bush and crew have been waiting for. I then tuned the whole thing out for two and a half years until an interview on KPFK radio got my attention. For the next few months, I spent my free time reviewing the evidence. The collapse of the (3) towers as described by the official 9/11 story, if true, would be the first ever documented violation of the laws of physics and would undermine the foundation of all engineering disciplines. Another energy source must be present. Explosives is the only hypothesis thus far put forth that is consistent with all available evidence. The fossil record regarding 9/11 is both detailed and overwhelming. Explosives implies fore-knowledge, making 9/11 a false-flag psychological operation. A proper investigation and indictments are long overdue.

The first thing I point out to people who ask me about it is the resistance paradox. The WTC towers' top portions fell through the steel and concrete of the lower portions about as fast as pieces from them were falling through the adjacent air. Assuming a collapse, this would indicate the lower portions provided little more resistance to the tops than air would. Yet the top portions disintegrated while falling, which assuming a collapse would indicate the lower portions offered very high resistance. This is an irresolvable paradox, material cannot simultaneously present high and low resistance. Demolition on the other hand explain both phenomena. There are many aspects of the events which to me indicate demolition. The points presented on this site about both the main towers and WTC7 are excellent.

I retired from the Air Force over thirty years ago after serving 20 years. I was trained as a B-52 mechanic. During my service as an airplane mechanic, one of our duties was to clean up after an airplane crash which I did after 3 B-52's crashed in Washington state. So, I am familiar with what a crash site looks like. Also I worked in the Pentagon for four years and am somewhat familiar with the security there.
Through the years I have always been interested in viewing large structures that were demolished. The twin towers and building 7 in my opinion were brought down by specialists. Anyone can see that building 7 was a classic pull. The pentagon photos do not show where the wings along with the engines would have hit. It is very difficult to believe that this large airliner would totally disappear into that hole. And where are the other videos from the pentagon?

To me, the statement about 9/11 is clear enough for any person that has been studying in the field of construction : no way the building collapsed by itself in so few hours and within this way, and impossible too that WTC7 been pulled down so quickly after the attack without any preparation first.

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 BS was also in Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC Davis, June 2003. I worked as a civil engineering consultant in the private sector for nearly 10 years. 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.

It is obvious from many different disciplines that the 3 sky scrapers were brought down by controlled demolition. The official story is a flat outright lie. I want to know the actual story, and who is hiding the truth. The guy who insured the 3 buildings in NY made out like a bandit.

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've had to work my way up through my current company by working on the floor, to where I now have a CAD/cnc programming job."

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.

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.

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.

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.

"The official story about 9/11 is completely false - an appalling cover-up that will be exposed sooner or later. I describe this in detail in my book, ""They're Conning You,"" available at my website."

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.
