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 a BS in Computer Engineering from Tufts University Engineering School. I believe that everything has a scientific explanation, and anything that defies a scientific explanation is either bad science or something that is not yet conventional science. In other words, if science can't explain it, either the effect is something that exceeds current methods of scientific measure or your data is bad and/or your assumptions are incorrect.
Seeing that the collapse of all three WTC structures can be explained with classical chemistry and Newtonian physics, any evidence of molten steel would indicate that a form of combustion much hotter than the burning of jet fuel caused the failure of the steel structure. When approaching maximum oxidation efficiency, such as in the inside of a jet engine, jet fuel will burn at close to 1500 'C, however, fuel burning under normal atmospheric conditions, even with significant updraft, could burn no hotter than 1000-1100 'C. The melting point of high carbon steel is about 1350' C, depending on the specific alloy. Even with prolonged exposure to the the heat of that burn could cause steel to weaken enough for it to bend and collapse under its own weight, it would not produce 'rivers of molten steel'. That sounds more like something that would have been exposed to a much hotter flame for a short duration, such as thermite. A rapid burn would also better explain the collapse that resembles that of a demolition. It stands to reason that if the twin towers failed due to steel failure due to heat, it would have fallen at an angle as it would seem highly unlikely that the entire structure at the burn floor would fail simultaneously. What is harder to explain is the notion that the collapse of the twin towers not only caused the fire at 7 WTC, but that it was enough of a fire for the building to collapse as though it were demolished as well. Finally, there is the cold fact that none of the gold which was in the reserve at 7 WTC was recovered. Gold doesn't disappear regardless of whether it was melted or not. Put simply, there are just too many 'strange' facts in this incident for the standing explanation to be acceptable by any person of science, regardless of discipline. The fact that the report was rushed and debris was removed from the site with what can only be described as haste, one has to think there is more to the story. A lot more.

It is clear that technically the official explanations for the 9/11 disaster are completely floored. Seeing that it probably had the purpose to frighten citizens, to limit their democratic rights, to find reasons to go start wars and to involve other countries into it, I want to know who started this disaster, who covered it up and who is responsible for it. All people involved should be brought to justice. All victims and their families have the right to know the complete truth, including those who loose now their friends and relatives in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Due to many different facts I doubt the official explanation on the cause of the collapses of WTC building 1, 2 and 7. AE911truth.org listed a lot of undeniable facts based upon structural and physical principles, that are in conflict with the official explanations of public authorities and politicians. Some of these facts are so obvious that it is astonishing that there are not more voices in the world who express their unbelief.

This did not happen the way our government wants us to believe it happened. Buildings that have been on fire do not come down the way that these buildings came down in near free-fall. Building 7 was never on fire and was never hit by an airplane. As Americans were are entitled to the truth and we need to insist that truth prevails.

I became a degreed architect in 1997 and worked as an employed architect for a well-respected architectural office in Munich. Since 2003, I am self-reliant with my architecture office, traded as a limited liability company. My office is essentially acting in residental constructions (design, planning, and realizing).
How the three WTCs collapsed (symmetrical free fall, missing big mountains of building rubble etc.) OBVIOUSLY doesn't comply with the official statement (NIST). Open your eyes, switch on your sanity, reason and think about the simplest fundamental principles of construction and you can't believe that the official version still can remain stable.

Planes alone could not have caused any collapses that day. There would not have been enough time to rig #7 to demolish by the time it did later that day unless work commenced before 9/11.

I have been hanging heavy rigs over many performers' heads for many years. I have worked as head rigger for major theme parks and worked over the heads of some of the world's biggest stars I understand point loads, distributed loads shock loads and shear. I understand the relationship of structures and sub-structures.
I saw the collapse of the buildings on a giant video screen in a ballroom in Orlando. I felt that there was something wrong with the way all 3 of the buildings fell when I was watching it happen and have clung to the suspicion that there was much more to the story than was being told. Discovering ae911truth.org has reinforced my suspicions and provided believable scenarios that have given me an even stronger conviction of belief and suspicion.

I have made an extensive study of steel from the 18th century to the present. In order for these three Towers to collapse vertically and evenly as we see them do, there can be no doubt at all that the vertical steel sections must be severed at precisely timed intervals progressively from top to bottom. I find the evidence presented in your film and in other material totally convincing. What horrifies and amazes me is that the extreme skill and dedication of the perpetrators of this immense crime should have been so perverted as to make the existence of such unalloyed evil in any group of human beings quite incomprehensible to the ordinary man.

A US citizen that doesn't believe the story and would like a new investigation with new and real investigators.
Too many things just don't add up. Would like to get the truth, or even like investigators to look more into the person's who gained from this and what they're doing now in hopes that it could bring out more facts to explain what motives they could have to do so. Like a real investigation, that happens every time a murder or incident occurs.

I am outraged, that for 12 years I believed that radical Muslim extremist reduced 3 NYC skyscrapers and nearly 3,000 humans to dust and ruble, by flying 2 jet planes into 2 of the skyscrapers. I am outraged that it took 12 years for me to see the evidence that clearly reviles this belief to be irrational, just not possible. Actively seeking the truth or the events of 9/11 has been added to the top of my 'Bucket List'. Please look at the evidence and demand the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We must right this criminal act, we must demand justice.
