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.

Too many things don't add up. While the hijacking of the aircraft was an excellent diversion and 'excuse' for what happened, the actual explosions and their results are not consistent with what could have happened with the aircraft alone. There is evidence of structural damage that preceeded the aircraft impacts (never explained) and the impact at the Pentagon is not consistent with the aircraft that struck there.

I'm also experienced in hydraulic systems (pipelines and piping systems) and municipal infrastructure systems.
I would like to know more about the reasons for the collapse of the WTC towers. I saw them collapse on September 11 and to me it did not seem to result from the impact of the planes or from the subsequent fire.

Occupation: Software Engineer
I received my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CMU in 2010. Since then I've been a software developer.
My degree in engineering required an advanced knowledge of physics, but one doesn't need an advanced knowledge of physics to see that the official 9/11 story is physically impossible. One just needs to understand that there were rings of debris ~600 feet wide around the twin towers, in all directions, and that F=ma. That is, an object will only accelerate in a particular direction if there is a force applied to the object in THAT direction. Since gravity pulls objects downward, and since the debris flew radially outward in all directions at very high speeds, one can only conclude that there were strong forces propelling matter outward in all directions. That is, gravity was absolutely not the only force acting on this debris; there must have been explosives planted in the towers, and these explosives were responsible for the collapse of the towers. It's amazing and a little scary to me that the vast majority of people don't understand these basic physical principles. Or maybe they lack the ability to think critically enough to question claims that clearly violate physical laws that have been well established for centuries, when those erroneous claims are repeated enough times by enough people.

I have studied science for over 47 years.
I didn't pay much attention to US politics before the tragedy of 9/11. Right after 9/11 and without any investigation I believed the government story, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the tower collapses looked like controlled demolitions. When the U.S. attacked Afghanistan for so many weak reasons I started to question what really happened. I found many things that were highly questionable, and have found an enormous amount of information that shows the 9/11 Commission Report is filled with errors and omissions. So what really happened? The only explanation that scientifically answers most of the observed phenomena to date is controlled demolitions. End of story.

The public has the right to see a complete and transparent investigation as to what happened. The controlled demolition of Building 7 and questionable collapse of the twin towers needs to be properly reviewed and documented. The NIST report appears both incomplete and inaccurate.

I firmly believe that the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7 was the result of controlled demolition. The official story does not sufficiently explain how the buildings collapsed in their own footprint.

First of all, I was 11 years old when I first heard about the Towers being attacked. I'm 24 now. I was too young to understand what happened during the time so I just believed the rhetoric, for over 10 years, that we were being attacked by terrorists. Now, after further, independent investigation as a welder, I have to conclude that you need an extra component other than fire to melt metal. It's obvious enough as it is. You don't have to be a welder to know this.

I absolutely believe those building could not have come down under the 'official story' pretenses. There had to have been some type of controlled demolition that took place for the Twin Towers and WTC7. The Pentagon was hit by a missile. No doubt in my mind and from the evidence I have seen.

If this was a conspiracy, then it was planned that we later go to Iraq. We have deposed secular dictators in the Middle East creating chaos...was this all a plan? Furthermore if it was, then the next plan would be against Russia. I am starting to think that Putin's the good guy and the shadow government behind our government is the evil one.

As the facts do not match with the 'official' report, especially the collapse of Tower 7, a thorough and expert investigation is justified and necessary! The truth should be discovered, at least to prevent future collapses of 'burning' buildings.

There are multiple questions concerning the destruction of the buildings, which have remained unanswered. Most prominent was the destruction of Building Number 7. The official explanation is inconsistent and not sufficiently inspects the actual available data.

It is my personal opinion from reviewing what evidence that has been brought to light to date is that the 9/11 incident was either made to happen on purpose by the US Government or that they let it happen on purpose. This incident has been a pivotal moment in time that has allowed an unceasing war on terror, destruction of liberties and untold death and destruction abroad since. A properly conducted investigation needs to be held into this tragedy.

Witnessed the tragedy from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Mustered on the 12th to help with the rescue attempt. Reflected on my past Navy firefighting training and made the decision not to risk my life. Made this statement to my union brothers present 'If we do not go down there dressed like we are going to the moon we will die!' My greatest concern was phosgene gas. This Tragedy is and will always be a source of sorrow. Hopefully the truth will bring closure for us all! P.S. I walked away from every blood cent I was entitled to.

I totally concur with your analysis of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and Building 7 and believe there should be an open, thorough and impartial investigation into uncovering the absolute truth around 9/11. I would also like to know more facts regarding the supposed airliner attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. Were there similar suspicious findings at that building?

When 9/11 happened I thought like many others that it was done by the hijackers. I thought anyone who thought otherwise was unAmerican just like Bill O'Reiley says. Since then when I look at the hole made at the Pentagon and the lack of debris in PA........I was willing to take a closer look at the World Trade Center. I am convinced without a doubt that this was an inside job and that the engineers should be listened to.
I think there are a lot of uneducated people who let Bill O'Reiley do their thinking for them.
