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.

In my former life as an obsessive/compulsive banjo picker, I worked at different jobs to support my music habit, including a few stints in the construction trades. As a union carpenter, I worked on various state-of-the-art steel and concrete structures, including two high rises. Tn the course of gaining this experience, I've seen these materials subjected to diverse stresses and I have an understanding of the energy required to reduce cured concrete to powder and to deform and/or cut steel beams.
Have you ever seen someone break up, say, a section of sidewalk with a sledge hammer? Note that the hammer has a metal head. What would happen if we were instead to affix a piece of the sidewalk itself onto a long handle and use it to try to bust up a bigger section? Common sense and Newton's third law of motion both tell us that this kind of hammer head would itself shatter in the process, and long before the task could be completed. By this basic logic we can see at once that NIST's explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers is a silly canard. The notion that a small section of a high rise can, in two cases, fall upon the much larger, sturdier sections below and so thoroughly destroy them is a fantasy. That's my argument against NIST's theory: The kinetic energy of the small sections is insufficient to wreak the kind of damage observed. Based on the active thermitic residues that are pervasive in the dust of the towers, logic promotes explosives as the strongest candidate for squaring up the huge deficit in the energy accounts.

I have studied the properties of metal in all it's forms and do not believe the official report of a weakening structure due to a jet fuel fire. The fact that WT7 is barely mentioned in the NIST report should be reason enough to reopen the investigation.

As someone who considers himself a no-nonsense observer who values truth in whatever form it takes, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to question the cognitive dissonance between the official story and what I observed with my own eyes. Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~Patrick Henry

About the Twin Towers : no minor (and weaker) part of a structure is able to destroy the rest of it, whatever the speed with which they encounter. And WTC7 : among other strange hypothesis, to assign the fire protection class 1-C instead of 1-B is quite a help in getting 'overheated' floor beams.

Overwhelming physical/chemical evidence, eye witness testimonial, and common sense suggest that America deserves a new independent investigation. To start with, this new investigation should discard all theories of building collapse which violate conservation of energy (including the current 'official' theory).

I have been a licensed building contractor for over twenty years. I have seen what fire can do to a structure and I have seen controlled demolition.
There is nothing consistent in these building collapses with a collapse from fire that I have seen. They are however exactly consistent with a building demolition. Even before all the controversy I did not believe that planes brought down these buildings. Instinct alone tells me that. Of course in the case of building 7 we know it was not hit buy a plane and the fires were small. The mountain of evidence available today only confirms what many people already knew. Building fires do not burn uniformly enough to cause that exact of a collapse. In the case of building 7 we know the fires weren't even close to uniform and not nearly hot enough. Its an insult to even people of average intelligence and no training to try and claim these building collapses where the result of fire.

I am no professional but I live in Las Vegas and have eye-witnessed the implosion of 5 older casinos and the way the WTC buildings went down were exactly the same to me. Plus building 7 just dropped with no plane hitting it....cant anyone see there is something wrong with what they have been told?

Right from the outset I could not believe that the Towers could be so flimsy that they would collapse like a house of cards with such minor damage. When I watched the initial footage of firemen going into the lobby of the North Tower I was confused as to why all the windows had been blown out and massive marble panels had been blown off the walls. Later when I watched WTC 7 come down I jumped out of my seat and screamed at the TV that this was a controlled demolition.

I don't have any expertise in this area, but firmly believe that a second investigation would prove to be significant for the political powers that help make this happen. The People need answers, The People need closure. We demand it!
I remember waking to the phone call that morning telling me to turn on my TV. As I sat and watched in horror, minute by minute losing more of my faith in America. What happened to the America I had pledged my allegance to as a child?As the towers fell, I just knew that there was NO WAY the plane crash could do this type of destruction, but I TRUSTED my Government to put all of the pieces together and solve the issue. That has not happened. Instead we are spoon fed these slanted scenarios and colorful model animations. Really?Anyone with even the slightest bit of curiousity can easily do an internet search to learn more about the temperatures required to melt steel. The original fire ball frm the crash impact would have burned off the majority of the fuel. We want answers.I have witnessed building demolition (implosion) and it is clear to me that these towers were imploded by expert demolition. Please stop insulting American intelligence and reopen the investigation.EVERYONE makes mistakes. Look how many times We The People have trusted the FDA on it's drug approvals, only to see them recalled with lawsuts after they were wrong.Bring back our trust in the America we knew as chldren. The entire World looks upon us as idiots to believe the NIST reports. Lets change that and rebuild the trust of the American taxpayers/voters!

I've had nagging feelings about 9/11 since that terrible day. I've thought that if the planes were enough to knock those buildings over that they should have toppled over, not perfectly imploded. It wasn't until a friend from Disney showed me your movie that it all hit home... hard. I want to know what happened

I am interested in obtaining a truth which, while not necessarily retributive, starts a closure process allowing us to absorb the reality and prepare the way for a Western Society which is truly free. Unfortunately, the aftermath of 9-11 has had profound and negative effects on the lives of UK citizens too. We are consistently under surveillance by our government, civil liberties are diminished, privacy eroded - all in the name of added security. We've just spent 6 billion pounds (around 9 billion dollars) on an aircraft carrier. We need to be ashamed of this dreadful waste of money which merely serves to promote aggression. Let's get to the truth of 9-11 so that both our nations can stop posturing as the policemen of the world, save unimaginable sums of money and countless lives and live in peace.

I think it's absolutely obvious that the 3 buildings have been torn down by some planted devices inside. There is too much evidence that are impossible to deny forever, unless all the system is rigged. These overwhelming lies are not gonna last forever...with this lurid pretext they started several wars killing millions of innocent civilians. Only insane people do this ..and unfortunately they are rich and greedy too. Stop this madness, Hitler was nothing compared them.

I'm someone who is very curious and tries to be objective about information that is given to the public. September 11, among others, leaves me puzzled. In my experience, the information - as relayed by the mainstream media - shows that the most serious and sensitive issues are barely discussed while others are sloppily presented or outright lies (using evidence and facts as a measuring stick, I realize that official versions are overall false). - - - - Je suis quelqu'un de tr's curieux et qui prend du recul sur chaque information publi'e.Le 11 Septembre, en autres, me laisse perplexe. Mon exp'rience sur les diff'rentes informations relay'es par les m'dias dominants montre que la plupart des sujets s'rieux et sensibles ne sont pas d'battus, ou sont b'cl's, voir m'me mensong's (je compare par rapport aux preuves et aux faits, et je me rend compte que les versions officielles sont dans l'ensemble mensong'res).
I declare that the official investigation is rotten to the core. Thousands of families want to know the truth, and therefore deserve TOTAL transparency. In fact, just the fact that both Towers collapsed at free fall speed and that this fact was not even mentioned in the formal investigation leaves me perplexed. Additionally, the slow motion replays of the collapses clearly show the presence of explosives. It would certainly have made sense. Secondly, the fact that another high rise (which was not hit by a plane) collapsed as well ... due to explosives ... makes me think that this 'formal investigation' is more of a collaboration with those who actually carried out the attacks on September 11. An independent investigation must and should be performed so that justice and truth can finally be revealed! Truth always prevails in the end. - - - - Je d'clare que l'enqu'te officielle est b'cl'e jusqu'' la racine.Des milliers de familles veulent savoir la V'rit' et attendent donc un 'claircissement TOTAL. En effet, rien que le fait que les deux tours se sont 'croul'es aussi vite qu'une chute libre sans que l'enqu'te officielle n'en parle me rend plus que perplexe.De plus, on peut bel et bien et voir sur les ralentis que des explosifs sont pr'sent. Cela serait plus que logique.Ensuite, le fait qu'une autre tour (qui n'a pas 't' touch'e par un avion) s''croule elle aussi...' cause d'explosifs...me fait penser que cette enqu'te officielle n'est qu'une collaboration avec ceux qui ont v'ritablement mis en oeuvre le 11 Septembre. Une enqu'te ind'pendante DOIT et DEVRA 'tre r'alis'e afin que la Justice et la V'rit' se d'voile enfin!La V'rit' finit toujours pas triompher.

I am not an architect and do not have a PHD or any other kind of degree or education beyond a high school diploma.

But more specifically to pursue an Associate of Science in Computer Information Technologies most likely from Southern New Hampshire University, as well as an HVAC course at a different institute in order to obtain my EPA Section 608 Certification and then possibly my Indoor Air Quality cert.
Once presented with all the facts and evidence from so many credible professionals such as the architects and engineers involved with your organization, its pretty hard to look away and not feel an overwhelming burning from within to help expose the truth of 911 and finally get some kind of justice for the families of all those lost that day. It is clear as day to see that all three of those buildings were brought down as a result of controlled demolitions. The evidence is overwhelming and people need to stop ignoring it and see the world for what it really is!!!!!!
