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 have never believed in the official story . After researching for the past 3 or 4 years , it still amazes me that the u.s government ( and maybe others ) have got away with not answering any questions about this sickening mass murder . I don't think one needs to be an engineer or an architect ( and i don't mean any ignorance in that ) but any normal person should recognize a burning building to one that has obviously been brought down controlled demolition . After watching your video , i think the world would drastically change their minds and totally shocked by the evidence you have uncovered . I can only applaud you for your thorough investigation .

I specialize in Digital Electronic Design, which has nothing to do with Structural Engineering, however, Physics is Physics and it doesn't take a genius to see the truth in the proof.
AE911Truth.org has done a tremendous job and service to true Americans and the American way to objectively and clearly state the dramatic contradictory evidence to the official 911 government storybook fable. The fact that the information is coming from degreed and licensed professionals in the Architecural and Structural Engineering community provides a level of credibility that will hopefully propel the issue into the public spotlight. I was skeptical until I recently read about the nano-thermite particles independently found in the WTC dust remnants. Coupled with the facts: that NIST did not test for thermite or explosives; NIST avoids the thermite discussion; and the pancaking collapse of the 3 buildings that looks exactly like a controlled Las Vegas style hotel demolition; denial seems impossible. NIST officials should be indicted.

I am a mechanical engineer with 28 years of engineering experience. I have approximately 20 years of experience in the nuclear power industry. I was involved with the development of the corrective actions department for Cooper Nuclear Station. I had extensive training in root cause investigations. I was involved in numerous investigations to determine failure mechanisms and contributing factors.
I performed a simple energy analysis that can be performed by anyone who has taken high school physics or mathematics. The calculation shows WTC 1 & 2 did not contain sufficient potential energy to cause a progressive gravitational collapse. My calculation takes the entire mass of the building and distributes it evenly on every floor. This is overly conservative since the mass per floor is greater at the bottom because of the heavier structural columns. I also did not deduct any mass for any material that fell outside of the building footprint. Only material falling within the footprint of the building could have caused damage to a lower portion of the building. The energy of material that damaged surrounding buildings was not available to damage lower portions of the WTC 1 or 2. The energy calculation was based on the building material releasing its potential energy (the only energy available for destruction) by falling all the way down to ground level. The pulverized concrete released its energy very slowly as it drifted to the ground and was not available to destroy any building structure below it. - - My calculation shows that if all of the potential energy contained within the Tower was transferred to all of the surface area of all of the Tower floors, they would only be subject to 1,200 ft-lb/sq-in. Hardly enough to pulverize all the concrete let alone destroy all the structural steel columns and supports. This is why structural steel buildings do not simply fall due to gravity alone. Additional energy had to be involved to cause the destruction that was observed. Controlled demolition is the only possible explanation. The laws of nature cannot be violated. - - The WTC 7 free fall also violates the laws of nature.

I'm neither an architect nor an engineer. But when one sees the demise of the three skyscrapers , it's obvious that they fell from the same stimulus, because their collapses look identical. If burning jet fuel brought the Twin Towers down, then how to we explain the identical collapse of a building that wasn't struck by an airplane? The answer is...we cannot.

The WTC destruction was eerily similar to that of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Both had bombs placed in strategic locations throughout the building to bring the buildings down without toppling over onto surrounding buildings. The Murrah Building, however, had television footage that told of firefighters and emergency workers taking unexploded bombs out of the building before the national powers were able to spin the story to use of only one outdoor fertilizer bomb. Both had the evidence carted off before a full investigation could be completed and both allowed critical documents concerning dubious projects to conveniently be destroyed. Finally, both had agencies that occupied those buildings that told their workers not to go to work on those fateful days.

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.

The conclusions reached by the 9/11 Commission inadequately describe the evidence clearly visible in the footage of the collapse of both the Twin Towers and Tower 7. That a building can fall straight through the path of most resistance at near free fall speed is physically impossible. Surely if the US government was keen to examine the evidence post 9/11 then the use of explosives would have been on their list (After all, Bin Laden had supposedly bombed the Trade Center previously). It wasn't even considered. The remains of the buildings were removed as quickly as possible. Is evidence removed from the scene of a murder before it is properly examined? Of course not. What were they trying to hide on 9/11?

If these buildings fell because of fire, then why isn't there an inquiry why these buildings did not meet code requirements. If they did meet code requirements, shouldn't we have immediate changes to every building ever made and make changed to any proposed buildings?

And if they get it passed the editor, someone higher up squashes it. Others act as if the mere mention of it were radioactive. Your AE911 Truth group has the quantifiable, identifiable scientific facts and everything-to-lose professionals on your side -- not to mentin all important visuals -- so it offers a great way to get in that otherwise closed media door and kick open the issue after a decade of lies and loss.
When you believe your own eyes and ears and understand some basic laws of physics and gravity, the demolition is obvious. The factual analysis of the AE911Truth technical experts, scientists, first responders, demolition experts, etc., only underscores what we all know, but have been taught not to know-- Don't believe what you see, believe what we tell you to see.

I was born and raised in Southern California and attended primary and secondary education there graduating from high school in the early 1970's. As an artist major studying to become an advertising illustrator, I completed a two year college curriculum receiving an Associate of Arts degree. I was accepted at Art Center College of Design, but attended for only a little more than half-a-year. That was the extent of my formal education. I have been married for 26 years to the same beautiful woman and we live on the island of Kaua'i. We lived for four years in a Catholic monastery in Arkansas. I work now as a custodian at a Catholic primary school. I love to wander in the wilderness of Gods creation, continuing to pursue my artistic gifts through digital photography, both stills and video and through the creation of music. I had also worked for many years with wood in a cabinet/furniture shop in the High Sierras of California.
One can break every law, except the law of gravity. From the first time I witnessed the video of the fall of WTC#7(over five years ago,) to the subsequent curiosity and investigation born of that viewing, I've been on a quest desiring to know the truth about what the forces were and are, both natural and human induced, that could reduce a substantial 600ft. structure down to a pile of rubble in seconds and remain virtually unnoticed or be even considered unusual for the whole ten years after 9/11. May the same integrity of adhering to the gravitational laws and principles that WTC#7 was designed, constructed and stood with for many years, be the same that apply to help reason out the cause for it's destruction, without twisting the physics in any way. I pray that that light will dispel the long darkness of that shadowy day.

It is more than clearly obvious that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by explosives planted in the buildings. Buildings that high and strong enough to remain standing for years of heavy winds must have been made incredibly strong. A plane striking is a lot of force but nowhere near the force needed to bring these buildings down - and Building 7 was not even hit. It is so obvious that the official story is a cover-up... it is imperative that we get a real investigation and accountability.

It is not white, and it is not an American Airline's jet, it is gray, and it has no insignias whatsoever. Common sense and deep urgency in my heart tells me there is something wrong with all of this.

I just want to know what really happened that day. I am concerned with the lack of investigation that went into the building collapses of the World Trade Center. Why has the Federal Government not acknowledged the traces of Thermate that were found on World Trade Center debris? How did a plane crash cause molten metal throughout a large portion of the wreckage? If there was a large fire inside of the buildings then why did we not see them engulfed in flames? How did masses of concrete disintegrate into sand-like particles instead of large chunks of concrete?

I have no technical education or experience. However, I am an intelligent person who cannot find a logical explanation for the anomalies set out on the website. I need to know more. I want to help to find out the truth, as shocking as it may be.
My view is that you cannot dispute physics. There is just too much that has been unexplained. Black boxes that were destroyed, a third building which I had never heard of falling in the same way as the Twin Towers (but not hit by a plane), the inability of this type of fire to cause steel to melt. It really buggers belief. There has to be a loud enough outcry to force an independent inquiry. My belief is that it should be worldwide and include more eminent experts.

I just graduated with an Associates Degree in Arts, I'm neither an architect nor an engineer, I'm just your average student. I did take a Physics class, however, which has actually helped me a lot in researching the various evidences involved in this particular case and drawing conclusions based on observations, reflection, and what scientific knowledge that I have.
After investigation, research, observation, and careful reflection, I am now 100% positive that those 3 buildings did not simply collapse on the morning of September 11, 2001. I'm not an architect, an engineer, or a rocket scientist, but I live in earthquake country (Alaska) and I know what a collapsing building should look like. It should come down in pieces, or only one small part will collapse and the rest will mostly remain intact--it wouldn't turn into a complete cloud of dust. Furthermore, if a building did completely collapse, it would not fall so quickly, and it would kind of fall off to the side, not straight down through the path of most resistance. The official theory regarding the destruction of the towers is, simply put, completely scientifically inaccurate, physically impossible, and contrary to rational logic. The first thing that really caught my attention was World Trade Center 7. I had never even heard that a third building had come down, and neither had my friends or family. That was completely new information to me, and it concerns me. The overwhelming evidence presented by seekers of 9/11 truth causes me to demand a proper investigation into the tragic events of September 11, 2001. I am most certainly not a conspiracy theorist, but I do want to know the truth. This country is supposed to stand for justice, and justice needs to be served and this terrible crime should be thoroughly investigated to uncover the truth, wherever that may lead. The American people who were forever changed after that day deserve that much. The families of those who were never the same after that dark morning deserve that much. The memories of the thousands of lives that were suddenly cut short so unexpectedly and unjustly deserve that much.

I am an Ex-Nielsen associate in the Philippines. My background is in Marketing, Market Research and Business Development. I'm 23 years old and an avid follower of international news.
I am a citizen of a country across the Pacific Ocean but I do care about what is happening in the world especially when 9/11 happened. For me, this is not about being heard by others but by making a statement that whatever happens in the world, it does have an impact on us, on other nations. Thus, I am taking my part in this petition to raise awareness about the real events that transpired during 9/11 and hopefully encourage others to do the same.

No technical certifications or experience, but feel the facts are so clear that a more extensive investigation needs to take place.
Watched the 1 hour long You Tube video: Blueprint for Truth, and there were so many questions that are unexplained with the current information the media and government has supplied us. Why did the Twin Towers fall at nearly free-fall speed? Why are explosions visible? Why did WTC 7 collapse with just a smaller fire on lower levels? Why did steel beams on lower floors shoot out way higher than higher floors? Why was the Twin collapse uniformly downwards when the top of the building was clearly leaning over?

IM NOT EXPERT IN ENGINEERING, DEMOLITION, OR SCIENCE, HOWEVER I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE EXPLANATION OF 911 FROM NIST REPORTS AND THE 911 COMMISSION. THEY EPISODICALLY FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE FREE FALL COLLAPSE OF BUILDING SEVEN AND THE ADMISSION OF DEMOLITION FROM SILVERSTEIN HIMSELF.
IT DOESN'T TAKE A ENGINEER, SCIENTIST, OR DEMOLITION EXPERT TO SEE THAT 911 WAS A FARCE. THE PENTAGON IN PARTICULAR CAUSED ME TO STUDY 911 AND FIND THE HORRIBLE TRUTH. THE CONSPIRACY THEORY BEING TOLD ARE THE LIES OF GOVERNMENT. THE TRUTH IS THAT OUR OWN GOVERNMENT MASS MURDERED PEOPLE ON 911. PSST DO SOMETHING.

Not a technical engineer or architect, but am impressed with all the professional testimonies and opinions.
The consensus amongst professional Architects needs to be heard. There are obviously so many loose ends in the official investigation. There must come a time when people stop being told such outrageous stories by the puppet politicians.

Born in Australia I grew up in a large loving poor family during and after the second world war. I endured hardship and the value of hard work. I was shocked at the thought that some human beings exploited others for their own ends. I became an educator and community volunteer, dedicating my life to the service of others. I moved to Canada with my Irish-Canadian husband where I furthered my education and taught in schools here. We adopted a disabled child who now as an adult was not able to parent his children; I am now a custodial Grandma and wonder what a world created by greed and injustice has to offer them.
I find it totally shocking that Government would kill it's own people to forward it's agenda of war and exploitation.

'-non-engineer-: Frank Stegmaier, born 17.08.1969 in Marbach/Neckar, Germany. I finished a technical school in 1989. There I got some knowledge about physics and metalurgy. After that I started studies in computer science and law.
In my own conviction, steel can not burst on material fatigue, because of an impact of an airplane, like that on 9/11. But even assuming that possibility, even for a non-engineer it is obvious, that the Twin Towers collapsed upon controlled demolition, the way they collapsed. On one video you can even see, that the integrity of the bottom of one tower was destroyed, before the top building collapsed on it! This doesn't work in reality, without controlled demolition upon a before intact building.

I am an experienced welder and metal fabricator and have moderate knowledge of the workings of metal.
Steel structures, especially skyscrapers, are built to withstand intense fires. Even in the event of a serious fire throughout a structure, the inner structure of reinforced steel would AT MOST suffer minor damage and or weakness. There is no way an entire building would completely collapse due to a fire, let alone 3. That being said, the physical evidence of thermite and thermate plasma found all over the steel is inarguable proof that manufactured explosives were present in the towers. This evidence by itself is enough to mandate an investigation.

There are just too many anomalies that do not add up. The eastern US is one of the most protected areas in the world. Why did it take such an abnormally long time for the interceptor jets to arrive? What caused the heavy beams to be shot sideways out of the towers? Anyone who has seen a building being imploded, knows that is what happened to these buildings. We need to know how and who set this up. Larry Silverstein used the classic terminology when he told them to pull it, regarding Building 7.
