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.

With no other crime would we sweep it up and come to a determination quickly so as to bypass a proper forensic investigation. This is the death of thousands of people. They deserve our due diligence. As well, the official report of what happened that day, defies what I understand of the physical world, cause and reaction.

Project Manager for Federal Demonstration Project and two APWA/Southern California award-winning projects in West Hollywood, California. Also served as Project Manager for a fire sprinkler subcontractor on building projects in Houston, Texas (including high-rise buildings in Houston and San Antonio).
The fact that both towers collapsed in their footprints, without any toppling of the upper floors, clearly indicates controlled demolition as the cause of the buildings' collapse, rather than structural failure. In my opinion, the collapse of the south tower (WTC 2) illustrates this idea most clearly. The airplane which hit this tower entered the south wall, and wreckage can be seen in the videos exiting the east wall. As a result, one would expect the damage to be worse near the southeast corner of the building, and any structural collapse should have occurred first at this corner. This should have resulted in the upper floors toppling toward the southeast. However, videos of the building's collapse clearly show it failing in a more or less symmetrical manner. - - - - In contrast, the north tower (WTC 1) was hit by the first airplane in the north wall, at almost a perpendicular angle to the north wall. And yet, the upper floors of this building leaned toward the south as the building collapsed. - - - - Likewise, there are two failure phenomena which cannot be explained by the pancake collapse theory. First, video of the collapse of the north tower shows the upper floors (approx. 10 stories) toppling toward the south. Yet, instead of falling to the ground relatively intact (as they should have done with no structure supporting them from beneath at that point, and nothing pressing down on them from above), they mysteriously disintegrated in mid-air. What forces (other than explosives) could have caused this? - - - - Second, a video exists which shows part of the inner core of the north tower still standing prior to the south tower's collapse. And yet, with only minor debris falling on it from the south tower, the remaining core structure disintegrates. Unless the video is faked (and I have seen no evidence of this), what would have caused the remaining core structure to collapse?

Nowhere in academia or in practice is there evidence to support the NIST's assertion of a new phenomenon. This is a discredit to the entire Institute. Cover-up of truth, is however, not new at all, although it is enjoying an apparent resurgence in popularity. Why can't we get a serious and independent (non-government) investigation of this phenomenon?

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 am an associate producer of a television series which airs on PBS called Spotlight On. We would be glad to produce a 5-6 minute public education program which would air daily on PBS for a year or more, highlighting your organization and informing the public about explosive material being used in a controlled demolition of the WTC and building 7. This show does require underwriting for a reasonable cost, as PBS does not produce their own programming. I am also interesting in signing your petition. Contact me at wendy@trivue.org.
I have listened to Mr. Gage on Alex Jones, TV news stations, and Coast to Coast and I am convinced that 911 was funded by the CIA and the shadow government, as the evidence points to many inconsistencies in the official 911 commission report. I feel it is my obligation to humanity to expose these criminals, as if they could do that, who knows what's next? All of your evidence points to a well planned event on 911 and it must come to light in memory of all who perished on that day.

The advent of 9/11 and the tragedy surrounding the events are the singular greatest lie and fraud ever perpetuated. I recall working as a broker in the WTC in the mid 90's after the '93 bombing. The fact was already established after the bombing investigation that the buildings were originally built and inundated with asbestos protective coating, recognized as dangerous hazardous material even then. All the beam structures were coated in this covering and removal would have taken many years and billions($) in losses due to the closed buildings. The WTC towers and adjoining buildings were essentially condemned for the hazardous asbestos content, now killing the first responders (although squelched by the media). When I watched the buildings fall on 9/11, no mention was made of the dynamic stabilization dampers originally built as an afterthought on the upper levels of the building, consisting of concrete and steel and weighing 400,000lbs each. The force of these huge weights was essential to the planned and carefully controlled 'footprint' demolition. The 9/11 wives were paid for their silence and contractually obligated to never ask questions. Beverly Eckert, leader of the 9/11 wives group, publicly questioned the official report for its lies and inaccuracies, never took the pay-off. Eckert sued the government and consistently lobbied for a legitimate investigative commission. She died suspiciously in a very suspect plane crash, immediately after personally meeting with Obama and cabinet members and disclosing her plans to take her concerns and inside knowledge of the fraud to the public and the media.

I was in NYC during the collapse, in an apartment on W28th St. I had been shopping in the mall underneath the Towers and had seen them for the first time the previous day. Although I have no engineering experience, I was amazed that the Towers came straight down, somehow avoiding tremendous additional damage to lower Manhattan. The official story never seemed possible to me. My only experience is having been packed on the subway with people escaping from downtown.

I first became aware of issues in relation to 911 in 2009 when I friend passed on a documentary called Zeitgeist. I had seen Fahrenheit 911 but only concluded that Bush was an idiot and to be honest did not put too much thought into it. Following on from 911 I have read a David Ray Griffin book and watched alot of documentaries online about that fatal day. I am convinced there was prior knowledge of the attack and that it was most likely an inside job in as the catalyst to get into Iraq. I find it frustrating when I tell my friends about this but they simply don't care.

I am 24 years old, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. I have worked under various companies, low level due to my lack of motivation during the process of my education. I was lazy. I like to play video games, analyze newspapers and observe and come to proper conclusions. I believe in a unified world, heck for a long time (a very long time) of my life I feel strong connection to people all over the world. We are all family, there are no borders (really there aren't, only artificially created ones).
I believe that the 9/11 was and still is profoundly odd. Contradicting material, a feeling of a cover up by the government and various sources. Though I can feel it is simply a feeling of inexperience and the government does not want to expose themselves to this inexperience. Media not pressing matters, when journalism is all about pressing matters and covering every subject. Now time passes, and more and more people begin to forget or not care, and today when you speak about it, it becomes an act of are you a conspiracy theorist? when it has nothing to do about it. 9/11 fooled a world, to what end? To what purpose? What is the goal? I do not wish to blame anyone, I believe that those that did it (at this grand of a scale) are looking at a long term purpose. The West World attacked the Middle East together! European soldiers sent to Afghanistan as well. Something that I wonder and question myself is, how far does the American military stretch their operations today, compared to 2000? How much do they own? Are we looking at an attempt at world domination (long term, again), being the ultimate goal? During the Cold War America and Sweden joined forces in the form of a secret deal, they would protect us from Soviet. What was our end of the bargain? Did we ever repay it? Are we simply a daughter company, a product of America Co.? Governments and countries are companies! Not different people! Sure we speak different languages, some of us different colors but what we are genetically underneath the skin (from a scientific point of view, we are not very different).

The collapse of Building 7 (near the Twin Towers) changed everything for me. I then reconsidered the official explanation of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Building 7 collapsed even though it was only struck with indirect, minor debris. The representative of the ownership of Building 7 shocked me when he said on camera that we decided to pull Building 7, almost explicitly confirming that Building 7 was a controlled demolition. Regardless of what his words meant, Building 7's collapse was clearly not due to the plane attacks. And if Building 7 had already been prepared for controlled demolition prior to 9/11, it's logical the Twin Towers could have also been similarly prepared prior to 9/11. Also, a documentary interviewed Twin Tower security personnel, who were in the lowest floors of the Towers during and after the attack, described on camera huge explosions in the lowest levels of the Towers before their collapse; they also stated that during a weekend or two before 9/11, all security cameras and other security equipment in the Twin Towers were disabled, ostensibly for routine maintenance, even though these workers/manager(s) said security had never before during their long tenure there, been fully disabled, even with power turned off to other parts of the building. Again, if it was done in Building 7, why not in the Twin Towers? But Building 7's collapse was the tipping point for me in even considering a controlled demolition of the Twin Towers. Open a real investigation! Also, learning about the fully-confirmed 1960s U.S. government plan called Operation Northwoods, opened my mind to the possibility of the U.S. government aiding or orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, since they'd already considered this type of action decades before and for similar motivation.

I am a concerned citizen with doubts about the official explanation of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11.
The official explanation of the 9/11 building collapses does not sufficiently answer issues of sudden onset of destruction, free-fall-speed collapse, uniform debris fields, presence of exotic explosives in dust samples, eyewitness and photographic evidence of explosions and molten iron, and many other factors that point to a very different narrative.

I think Americans deserve to know the truth and I support all A/E's who endeavor to let the truth will out. I watched the WTC7 analysis video and I am convinced that the WTC7 collapsed through a planned and timed demolition. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) investigation and report was very unscientific and ignored much evidence to pronounce that the building had collapsed from fires from the office furnishings. We are all deserve closure and the truth.

It is impossible for any of these buildings to collapse especially at the speed they did without explosives being used.

Just a guy with two healthy eyes and a little bit of common sense. A father of one with another on the way. I have been borderline obsessed with the collapse of the whole 9/11 event since the day it happened and I am appalled at my country's leaders for going along with the official story. If its obvious to me, it sure better be obvious to my elected leaders right? Anyway, I work in the automobile industry but tinker in electronics as a hobby. I did go to school for Internet Business Tech but didn't really like (morally) where the industry was going so decided to do what I liked better, fixing cars.
I remember the day it all went down like it was yesterday. I worked at a Radio Shack at the time. I was watching the whole thing on a wall of TV's and when the first Tower fell I turned to the employee next to me and said That building just blew up. There's no way that just FELL down. and I have stuck to my observation until today.

Anyone who took basic algebra (and intro to physics) and can calculate the fall time of an object, will discover that the fall of the buildings was according to free fall (like a bowling ball). Finally, it takes a temperature of about 2,705F to melt steel. The fireball did not even reach 1,000F!

I have no relevent experience or technical education. But I can't ignore what I just know, and that is Building 7 should never have collapsed in such an orderly fashion because of random office fire. I just know it.
I am concerned about Building 7. For me it is the smoking gun in the whole 9/11 story. Its collapse seems to lack the chaotic nature belonging to the fire which was supposed to have bought it down. It's almost as though it has no business falling down. Especially since other buildings closer that sustained more damage than it, did not collapse. I am deeply concerned about this.

Hearing testimony from survivors, and using common sense when watching the buildings (more than 2), anyone can see there is foul play! I went to ground zero within days of the attack, I saw small shops still standing that were right next to the Twin Towers and at 16, could not make sense of it. I remember asking my father, why are these small apartments and shops still standing but these giant ones are not?. Then, weeks of media coverage with talks about explosions and seeing people burned by the explosions only to see in the investigations that there were no explosions...it just does not add up.

I am simply an American who deserves to know the truth about the destruction of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 on September 11, 2001.
Recently, I had reason to burn in excess of 10,000 board feet of various specie of wood scrap. I did so in a crude controlled burn using a common 55 gallon barrel. The debris contained a small amount of metal fasteners (ie. screws, staples, etc.). After placing and igniting pieces of the debris in the barrel it was allowed to burn at a normal rate (meaning no accelerates were used at any time). As coals and ash formed inside the barrel more wood was added periodically some of which contained nails, screws and staples. At no time during the 67 day period were any ash or other matter removed from the barrel. During the burn the barrel would glow red hot, but no distortion was observed. During the 67 day period different metal pieces were introduced into the fire at varied intervals. Once the fire was allowed to burn out completely and the ashes cool, I observed the following: 1. The ash produced was surprisingly minimal, approximately 15 gallons after the metal parts were removed. 2. The metal parts and fasteners were intact with no evidence of melting. I understand the metal parts were not subjected to stress as they were embedded in the wood during the burn. This brings me to my point. If a fire burning hot enough to turn a 55 gallon industrial barrel red hot for 67 days resulting in the reduction of 10,000 board feet of wood to approximately 15 gallons of ash isn't hot enough to exhibit even minor distortion of thin steel plates, steel screws and staples an oxygen deprived fire such as that at WTC could not have generated sufficient heat to melt steel beams and pulverize concrete and office furniture. I am neither an Architect or Engineer, nor a student of either. I am merely a concerned citizen who from day one has never believed in the pancake collapse explanation of any of the WTC buildings. I was watching the scene unfold on nationally broadcast television on 9/11/01 along with millions of others as the Towers fell. I said then (as it happened) and I say now, even in my limited knowledge of implosions, that the WTC incident was a controlled demolition.

Building 7 was the biggest red flag on September 11th. Not only did it fall at free fall speed, but molten steel flowed throughout the wreckage. Structural steel failure could result from the abnormal twisting of steel due to heat. However, it would take a lot more heat than what was available on 911 to turn structural steel back into a molten state. My dealings with heavy industrial applications and knowing what kind of heat steel is subjected to without failure has lead me to believe that way more than jet fuel was used to bring down the towers.

You don't need much of an education, or technical experience to see that there were explosive charges going off in ALL buildings, including building 7 which collapsed without sustaining ANY heavy damage! Even in The Great Chicago Fire most of the structural integrity of those terribly burned buildings remained intact. Building 7 was a controlled demolition just like the other two buildings, and since it takes WEEKS even MONTHS to set up the explosives needed to bring those buildings down.
