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.

Collapse of WTC-7 is prima facie controlled demolition. I have seen no alternative explanation, including that of NIST, that is even remotely plausible, given the visual evidence. NIST's continuing refusal even to examine the possibility of the obvious casts the gravest doubt upon the integrity of that institution, (or at least its management) and certainly upon the scientific probity of the NIST study participants. As to WTC 1 & 2, my military experience, coupled with some modest hands-on experience with high explosives, has given me a sense of how things behave when energetically disassembled. I find that the use of high-energy thermitic materials as suggested by Harrit, Jones et al., possibly accompanied by use of more conventional substances such as RDX, C-4, etc. provides a far more persuasive explanation of the observations, including molten iron/steel, powdered concrete etc. etc., than any plausible gravitational-collapse scenario. (Total-energy requirements alone eliminate gravity as more than a secondary input to the buildings' destruction).

I recall watching the video of towers alight while based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and I could not comprehend at the time why 'Molten Steel' was pouring out of the side of the building! Having melted some steel using homemade thermite mix, the amount of thermite needed to produce that massive flow of steel, plus the wasted steel beams seen after the event is impossible for any cavalier US Lawyer, pseudo NIST armchair non-experts and non-engineers to explain.

Employed by Boeing and for 5 years worked with the E4B Presidential support aircraft at Offutt AFB and was contract administrator for the maintenance of the 4 aircraft fleet and was responsible for negotiating the cost of maintaining each aircraft.
My opinion regarding the collapse of the twin towers leads me to believe that there were other types of explosives placed within the building superstructures and to be timed to be set off and detonated when the aircraft's smashed into the respective towers. I do not believe that the buildings would have totally collapsed just from the impact of the aircraft. The impact and force would have had to been much greater.

Type 1 - fireproofed structural steel in buildings just would not melt and cause a controlled collapse in the manner shown as all three buildings did. The structural steel beams and columns had spray fireproofing on it and the buildings had fire sprinklers. The collapse of these building is even more unlikely given the time it took from impact of the planes till collapse.

There are too many unanswered questions about 9/11 in order to believe the official version of events. A more thorough investigation is needed to arrive at a more accurate assessment. There is not enough energy contained in jet fuel to explain the total collapse and destruction of the central core. The molten steel found in the basements of the towers needs to be explained scientifically. The collapse of WTC 7 is also very suspicious.

I am 100% sure that we the people have been lied to concerning the official story of 9/11. I appreciate all of the work done by the groups pushing for a new investigation.

I'm a 49 year old man. Single father of 2. I'm the plant supervisor at a cryogenic grinding company. I'm worried about my family's future. I always tell them to be proud to be an American and that we live in the safest place in the world. The more I learn the facts about the Towers the more I understand I'm being lied to. How do I tell them I might have been wrong? I just want the truth. no matter how bad it is.
Ive got to admit l'd forgotten about 9/11. Mainly because of all the silly conspiracy theories. The PBS documentary definitely moved me and got my attention. Laws of physics don't lie. Then I learn NIST never tested for explosives. WHAT?!?! Our government needs to do a real scientific investigation. Because the more I read these reports the more ridiculous they look. All we can do is spread the word about these facts. I have surprised a lot of people with the things they didn't know about steel structured buildings. WTC 7 drops in 6.6 seconds? I bet there is demolition company's that couldn't drop it that fast. Who needs demolition crews away, NIST claims all you need is a match.

My knowledge of 9/11 has been gained only recently. I have a science background, not technical, but I am fairly convinced of the rationale of the 'inside job' theory based on the data presented by A & E.
The story told by mainstream media conflicts with actual footage of the destruction (bldg 7).

It's time for justice for the murders of innocent citizens. Those responsible need to be exposed and prosecuted by the USDoJ. We need accountability within our law enforcement and elected officials. Having a badge or holding an office grants you no special privileges. I am disgusted with the media, governmental agencies for thinking the public is stupid enough to believe that terrorists managed to cause 3 structurally sound buildings to collapse. It's a sad day in the U.S and we demand an unbiased and unmolested investigation into what really happened.

I am an honor student in high school. My Dad convinced me to watch your videos. My Dad tells me to trust our government, but after watching your video he has changed his outlook on America, and so have I.
At the time I was too young to understand, but I know how it troubled both my Mom and Dad. After I watched a PBS video I started to see the facts.

I have a bachelor's degree in art history. I have been working for a global consulting firm since 2006. I specialize in forensic accounting, international fraud investigations and corporate bankruptcy.
It is my position that the skyscrapers were destroyed by controlled demolition. It is my position that no conventional aircraft, passenger or otherwise, were involved in the destruction of the buildings. I do not accept the video footage made available to the public to be accurate representations of the events. I am in support of initiating a new investigation, which will include the right to inspect the surviving debris. I am in support of the determination of the reason for the destruction that is consistent with the laws of physics.

Third level ed. +. I do not wish to appear to brag about what I consider to be a basic liberal arts education.
Having read Prof. Neils Herrit et al.'s paper and studied video footage taken on the day, followed Mr. Chandler's mathematically founded reasoning and having seen NIST not finding evidence of explosives for which they did not look, I consider that an independent open minded investigation of the cause of the collapses is the minimum that the citizens of the non-US world are due - particularly so given that U.S.A. foreign policy after 911 was based on the 'War on Terror'!!!

Plumber/Construction worker - first hand experience with builders, owners, contractors trying to ignore costs and health issues with removing asbestos. If they can get away with not paying for asbestos removal they will attempt it. Workers risking their health is irrelevant - workers are their to be used and abused and disposed of like cattle for the evil greedy rich.
When I learned that the owner of the Towers and Building 7 was avoiding removing asbestos and collecting on insurance, my question as to why would the buildings come down if the planes didn't cause it. Why? Insurance fraud, asbestos. Now it made sense why they would come down - now there is a reason, no mystery - it's clear, it's crime. It's greed profit. Insurance fraud and fake war on terror to mask Cheney/Bush family private pirate raids for oil in other countries.

What they tell us is obviously not true, and, they abuse the fear created that day to start wars under false pretense. They even enforce laws taking away basic human rights. This is not right and would never have happened if the general public knew the truth. Lets hope some of the horrible things following out of 9/11 can be undone.
