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 sublet my apartment in NY to an Israeli who suddenly left town the day before 9/11. The apartment, a few blocks North, had a full view of the Trade Center out the back window which could have been useful. He acted strangely throughout the time he rented from me, made six hundred phone calls in one month, which led me to believe Israel knew all about the attack, possibly set it up, and that we also let it happen, so that we could open season on Arabs in general, and attack Iraq in particular.

The destruction of the three buildings has all the hallmarks of a controlled demolition. The fact that NIST did not even look for explosives indicates a cover up to me. The fact that engineers were involved in the cover up makes me ashamed of the profession. Where were all of the professional associations when the NIST report was tabled?

This will be the first skyscraper have burned and collapse as a result of a hydrocarbon fueled fire. Conservation of momentum and energy: The amount energy required to cut all the columns and pulverize all the concrete in each building far exceeds the amount of energy that would have come from the building collapsing and dropping a few floors. Thus what we saw happened could not have happened on the basis of one or two floors caving in. Furthermore, if the top would have fell, it would have fallen over to one side before coming down. Chemical analysis of the dust suggests explosives. The mass balance on the chemical analysis suggests tons of explosives. The naysayers suggest some burned conduit or paint would have produced this; however the mass balance proves this to be false. Why did the Mayor of New York announce Building 7 was going to fall before it collapsed? How did he know?

Tower 5 burned and burned and burned, never fell. Tower 7 hardly burned at all, and fell after Silverstein admittedly said Pull it and 20 minutes AFTER the BBC reported it. What happened at the other locations gets so much attention, but there is enough evidence in these 2 unheard of buildings to warrant ANY investigation into their collapse. After all, they are not mentioned in the official report, so they have not been officially investigated, right?

Did research on nano Al/FexO etc nano layers produced by physical vapor deposition for Joining applications and former student at Dartmouth. After completing his PhD formed a company to produce nano composites. It was immediately obvious from examination of dust from all three towers that nano materials were used to damage the floors after aircraft impact resulting in smoke clouds of Al2O3 + micron spherical Fe particles. Also the supporting columns were cut using nano thermite.

I am totally amazed by how the towers free-felled like an ordinary demolition where you remove all the support structure at exactly the right time. That is also the case of building 7. which Larry Silverstein (The controller of the destroyed WTC complex) stated was pulled with the help of FDNY. And the fact that BBC had prior knowledge of the collapse of Building 7 and reported of its collapse 20 minutes before it actually happened.

IT professional with 6 years of college. I am 60 years old and have sadly watched the decline in individual freedoms in the US. I have worked hard all my life. I have been in sales, owned my own business and started a new career in IT work in Austin, Texas.
I am extremely alarmed by the laws that have been passed to confiscate our freedoms as guaranteed by the US constitution. I believe the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are well on the way (if not already there) to totalitarianism being sped along at greater speeds by Obama. I want to join the movement to expose and bring to justice the atrocity and betrayal perpetrated by members of the US government, financial institutions and individuals.

I am a simple lay person of moderate means and education. I can clearly extrapolate, from all my research on the subject this petition refers to, that these occurrences/atrocities were [and are] by design and are nefarious in nature.

Although I am not a degree holding expert in architectural engineering, the events of 9/11 do not obey the most basic of physical laws which a high schooler could observe.1. How can an asymmetric impact at the top of the building cause it to fall symmetrically into its own foot print at free-fall speed exhibiting insufficient resistance from the material in its path; the iron/concrete core?2. How could a building that tall fall directly straight down without tipping or falling over asymmetrically?3. How did all of the concrete get pulverized or dustified?4. How could all but a hundred feet or so of iron core be completely destroyed from an impact a thousand feet above?5. How could the building core and support structure all fail and collapse at the same time before it is hit from the falling material above it?6. How can the collapse happen in a smooth controlled fashion with no 'stuttering' or resistance from each floor falling onto the subsequent floors which should still have all of their support integrity up until impact from above, and in no way before that moment? The evidence contradicts this.The list of obvious errors in the story and requisite denial and coverup call for justice, truth and the necessary awakening of the nescient American population.

I've been in Construction and constructing buildings as a Superintendent since the 70's.
Having put together or worked on many structures in my life consisting of red iron and concrete, there is nothing in this world that is going to convince me that the so called 'pancake method' is what brought down the twin towers, nor that fire brought down buildng 7. It is a physical impossibility. I want to see justice served to whoever is responsible for the demolition of those three builds and the taking of the lives of the people who died that day, starting with Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney.

It doesn't take four years of Harvard to see that this was a controlled demolition. Especially bldg seven. It was not hit. All three bldgs fell into their own footprint. Debris will follow the path of least resistance. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever that four or five floors would crush over a hundred floors of steel.

After years of research regarding 9/11 and being exposed to all of the anomalies that surround the event, I am certain that, with out a shadow of a doubt, the buildings were brought down by some form of explosive event other than the planes purported in the 'official' account. Any rational person that spends a minimal amount of time examining the evidence would come to the same conclusion. It is beyond my understanding why, with all of the solid evidence, this issue has not broken wide open by now. I applaud your organizations efforts to bring this lie out of the shadows and make everyone aware of the sinister and premeditated nature of this event.

Apparently NIST has ignored and denied conflicting evidence. The fact that evidence was destroyed, proves there's a cover-up. Fire doesn't melt steel, and WTC 7 free fall proves US government's reports are not accurate. Professional architects and building contractors need to pursue their theories to honor the people who died on 9/11.

I was involved in the building trade. I have built several buildings in England including hospitals, high rise buildings and schools. My experience was that buildings which I was involved in building were built strong enough that they would not come down by fire alone. Any building I have built that has outlived its usefulness has been brought down with explosives, not by fire.
I have been looking into the events of that day since the evening of 9-11. I thought, as the buildings fell, there was something not right about it. Then, when our BBC reported that Tower 7 had fallen 20 minutes before it had, especially when not hit by a plane and other buildings took much bigger hits yet still stood, I knew it wasn't what the media story said. Then we had all the hallmarks of a conspiracy: misinformation, reports from ground zero of explosions being ignored and the media pushing the story that they knew the culprits before the end of the day. My heart sank as I witnessed our generation's Riechstag.
