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 earned a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering in 1975 and was registered in California as a civil engineer in 1978. I was registered as a geotechnical engineer in California in 1988. My practice has predominately been limited to geotechnical engineering. I have worked on numerous residential, commercial, education, transportation, oilfield, water related projects.
There are enough questions being raised about the events on 9/11 in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania that a new investigation is appropriate. There are numerous question that this group, and others have raised. The rebuttals that I have seen have often been vague and have not addressed the specific point that was being raised. These rebuttals have left me uneasy about the 'official' story.

I am a 26 year old degreed Electrical Engineer and live in the Central New York area. I am currently employed as a Power Systems Engineer for a Company which is very well-known throughout the world. In this position, I focus on electrical distribution system analysis for power systems ranging from 208V to 115kV. I am presently studying to take the New York State Professional Engineer examination to earn my license.
I was a sophomore in high school in September of 2001. At the time, I did not really attempt to better understand the events any further than the basic information the media was providing. This changed in early-2012 when I was part of the electrical engineering team working towards approval from Con-Edison for energization of the new WTC2. As I watched the progress being made on the new WTC complex, I felt that I needed to go back and better understand what had really happened on 9/11. As I began research on the topic, I quickly came to the realization that the official explanation did not make sense. I am very interested in pursuing this personal research further and am grateful that I came across A&E 911 Truth. I feel this is a fantastic organization which is asking all of the right questions!

It appeared obvious as the event unfolded on the first day that the buildings could never have fallen as they did if a controlled demolition was not the cause. In addition I was immediately concerned that the incident would be used by our government to justify killing someone or attacking a foreign country.

Like many other professionals I'm concerned about the visual evidence of controlled demolition of the three WTC buildings seen on many videos. This concern is reinforced by Niels Harrit et al's recent scientific analysis of the dust from the site finding nano-thermite - an advanced military explosive. It is furthermore reinforced by Hamilton's ignorance of the fact that the collapse of building seven is not mentioned at all in the report from the 9/11 Commission as expressed in a Canadian TV interview. He apparently had not read his own report. What I find especially alarming is the claim put forward by former Vice president Dick Cheney that an even greater similar catastrophe will happen again soon and then with nuclear explosives. This might become a terrible reality if a real investigation is not performed soon and the truth brought to the surface.

Four academical degrees in various disciplines of engineering and science, a wide background in Aerospace and in Applied Math, in particular Dynamics. Also, background in flight dynamics and had a private pilot license. Worked as a research scientist.
If the official story is true, I have to return all my academical degrees and burn my professional books - the story contradicts basic physics, engineering, probability and common sense. Just two (out of many) examples: 1. Building 7, a steel-framed, earthquake- sustainable, that collapsed with no apparent reason. 2. Three buildings, two were hit and one not, collapsed at the same perfectly symmetrical pattern, and all fell down at almost g-acceleration, collapsed into their footprint - a classical pattern of controlled demolition. The joint probability for those three independent events is almost null.

22 years old. I started questioning the collapses in 2005. Currently I'm studying. I don't have any formal technical education, but I have always been interested in technology and physics.
On 9/11 3 buildings were demolished in a controlled demolition. The molten metal, the reports of bombs and secondary devices and the way the buildings came down clearly shows something is wrong with the official explanation. If anything the above chunk of the towers would have toppled over, following the path of least resistance. Actually we clearly see this happening at the onset of collapse but then as the building is demolished beneath there is no resistance to make it continue to topple over. WTC7 is the loaded gun as Niels Harrit states. Plain and simple. Anyone seeing that video with a basic empirical knowledge of the physical world will know that the collapse could not be caused by fires alone.

I have been performing commissioning services for the mechanical systems of large buildings for a little over a year. I received my B.S in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland this past Winter where my focus was on energy production.
The amount of energy nessasary to remove the mass of concrete/steal below the points of impact of buildings #1 and #2 (as proven by the free fall acceleration shown in any video), and to cause the complete symmetrical disintegration of building #7, is simply an order of magnitude away from the available force of gravity alone. Also, because the direction of the force of gravity is directed downward toward the mass of the structure below it, it would not be possible for any of the 3 buildings to fall without resistance (which would be shown in videos as a rate of acceleration far less than that of gravity). Large pieces of debris were expelled football field lengths away (an outward force would be required). The fires are irrelevant because they are an asymmetrical force on the structures while videos clearly show a symmetrical collapse. There is also physical evidence of both the byproducts of explosives, and non-detonated explosives, found in the debris. The material found possess, in a large enough quantities, the amount of energy needed to cause buildings to collapse at the same speed as that of mass which has no resistance between itself and the earth. Numerous eye witness accounts report secondary explosives. It is simply, without a doubt, impossible that gravity alone caused the destruction witnessed and there is evidence to support an alternative view. A new investigation is needed to include the repeatable and proven physical laws that we have come to accept as truth.

"I am a high school dropout. But I am no dummy. I know when I am being told a ridiculous story and I recognize the truth when I see it. I have been a 9/11 ""truther"" since 9/11."
While I have always felt that the AE9/11Truth findings were correct, I finally spent some time looking into alternative theories and none hold up like the common sense one presented here. I may not be a physicist but when metal requires a certain temperature to become molten and and fuel is not able to reach those temperatures, when there is very little fuel to burn, when I can see the little puffs of exploding charges out the sides of the building just barely ahead of the collapsing debris above it ... well, even I can clearly see the truth.

The destruction of Building Seven and it's intentional cover up is proof 9/11 was planned by persons involved in the US government. They were aware of it and complicit in it. The continued acts of denial can only be seen as an admission of guilt.

I don't have much of an education, but I do have a good understanding of physics and chemistry as I took advanced classes in both courses. Definitely not an expert, but the story given by the government just doesn't sit well with me, and hasn't even before I heard of this 'conspiracy'
I was young when 9/11 happened. I remember sitting in my 6th grade class watching it live on TV. Since then it has never set well with me, watching it live and watching everyone around you go absolutely psycho because of an attack on America, it was just bad... I couldn't ignore the fact that almost everyone on that single day had mentioned explosions in the lower levels and just kept comparing the buildings to the controlled demolition. You can't really ignore that, and when all these theories came to light I just can't accept the government's position on the matter. Too many doubts from too many people, I'm not going to place blame but we really need an independent investigation on the matter. The reluctance of the government's cooperation for one is just another reason for doubt in this case.

I have always been suspicious that there is a lot more to learn as to what actually happened on 911. We all know that it is impossible that the two towers and building 7 could have come down by fires. It is clear they came down due to expert demolition and there was a massive cover up because a real investigation was prevented. I also believe that the news media must be held accountable for their unwillingness to expose what really happened.

In the late 90's I transferred into Cal Poly civil engineering and switched to social science during the 9/11 whitewash process as a senior. Was a member of SCE and attended the pancake theory meetings the club had with the paid for scientists on tour. Later I went on to study in the history masters program before being targeted by Frankfurt School of thought corporate insiders, despite having a 3.4 average and only two seminars to go I was barred from registration for political reasons.
We all know who pushed the fake pancake theory. And recent events have proven controls of our institutions have been compromised in the name of profit and outright thievery practices. The ones receiving the criminal government largesse are feeding at the trough and should be exposed as outright traitors working for quislings in the nest that prefer profit making wars over law and order. That is all 9/11 was ever about. As was the Reichstag Fire.

All documented forensic evidence provided by 9/11Truth confirms without a doubt in my mind 9/11 did not happen as explained by our government. The evidence offered by 9/11Truth totally diminishes what our government has offered as evidence and substantiates 9/11Truth's thesis. What we witness in the Middle East today is the results of this criminal atrocity.

It's plainly obvious to the unconditioned, critically thinking citizen that much was wrong with the way the WTC Towers and Building 7 were destroyed. I think it was a controlled demolition and that the buildings' destruction was a false flag attack meant to usher in the draconian laws, endless warfare and general government overreach that have been upheld by the Bush and Obama Administrations.
