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 support a new independent investigation. The way the WTC twin towers fell vertically looks like a demolition with explosives rather than an asymmetrical collapse as would happen with a plane crash. It defies physics for the buildings to have fallen this way and at the duration of free fall. WTC 7 needs further investigation as well because one column failure does not make sense with collapse of the entire building or the way it fell. Again it appeared as if all supports had been demolished at regular intervals at free fall speed which looks like a controlled demolition.

The uniform vertical collapse of all three buildings should be enough to reopen an investigation.

I was a field office design architect in the office of Edward Durell Stone Assoc., during the 4-year construction of the 80-story Standard Oil of Indiana (now Aon Center) in Chicago. It was built using the same WTC structural system. I believe a steel tube structure cannot totally collapse due to fire without extensive use of explosives.

The light shed upon the events of 9/11 by Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin and others like them suggest most strongly that our government's version of the cause of what happened on that fateful day is far from the truth. Further, our government's continued refusal to satisfactorily answer questions about obvious conflicts in their version of causes and its refusal from the onset to allow a full and open investigation of these causes by an impartial and empowered body strongly suggest that certain elements in the current administration were complicit in facilitating the events of 9/11 as well as engaging in a cover-up of that complicity thereafter. Lacking a full and open investigation for cause it is highly unlikely that the truth can ever be proven.

The official story does not match the evidence and is in fact an insult to the intelligence of the American People that elected government officials would expect their official story to be believed and accepted as true by the American People. The trail of evidence should be investigated fully to reveal the truth. No evidence should be withheld from this investigation nor should any of the results of the investigation be suppressed or sealed as it is a matter of national security that the truth be revealed and the true conspirators be held accountable.

I have been engaged in engineering, stress analysis, or managing stress analysis groups my entire 30 year career in aerospace.
In my experience with structural tests and analysis of strength capability I have never seen a structure just disintegrate or fail in an ordered sequence all of its structural members, joints, and fasteners from any type of thermal or mechanical load. This is exactly what happens, however, during building demolition events.Furthermore, the personal or professional accountability to understand the destruction of 3 towers on 9/11 requires more than just reading newspapers. It also requires the personal honesty to accept and acknowledge the discrepancy between the government statements and engineering data for steel, temperature, and history.

During my career, I have developed a specialty in analyzing and addressing residential and commercial buildings with structural problems.
It's taken a long time for me to come to terms with the real possibility that the true causes of the WTC collapses on 9/11 were obscured from the general public and perhaps much worse. I've read the summary arguments based on the physics of the collapses and found them potentially valid. I would like to read the actual studies. It will take a while to understand the modelling enough to critique it, but if people like myself don't take it upon themselves, who will? We must know the truth, because what's left of our democracy depends on it.

The official story is a load of crap, When the towers fall you can blatantly see explosions going off at least 20 floors down in some cases and firemen confirm hearing explosions at the site of the towers. It was nothing but controlled demolition, couple that witht he fact Silverstein told the firemen to 'pull' building 7 implying charges were already in there (otherwise how do you pull it). You know it's a false flag attack.

It is clear, beyond a reasonable doubt, the investigation into the destruction of WTC towers 1, 2, & 7 dismissed crucial evidence and eyewitness testimony, and did not follow national standards. I fully support a new, independent investigation that follows national standards.

It is obvious the official report is complete BS and this was an inside job. Once you research the real facts of the incident, particularly building 7 (the smoking gun), there is no debate. Only a matter of time before truth comes out, it is impossible to cover it up at this point. Very sad why the truth has taken so long to become publicly accepted and acknowledged. I hope people open their eyes soon.

At first I could not believe our government could do such a thing. My husband was a Milwaukee Fire Fighter for 30 years and he kept telling me jet fuel cannot bring down a skyscraper. He said it would just burn up. That is why the fire fighters were in the process of climbing to the top of the tower to save people. We then went to a talk at the Milwaukee Public Library that was given by Mr. Gage. After that talk I was convinced the fire did not bring down the towers. The whole 911 had so many unanswered questions it was unbelievable.

There is absolutely no way the government's official myth stands up to even the most perfunctory scrutiny. The destruction visited upon the American people that day was almost assuredly NOT perpetrated by a bunch of atavistic zealots squatting in caves led by an insane messianic mastermind hooked up to a dialysis machine.

Since I watched the destruction on live TV on 9-11-2001 I knew there was something wrong with the collapse of WTC7. I'm glad to see all of the experts weighing in on the subject. How can the American people rule themselves when the government makes everything a secret?

From the start I felt it in my bones that the narrative that was pushed out through MSM stank to high hell, since then I've kept an eye on the comings and goings and was delighted that you people brought your expertise to the situation.

WTC 7 came down in its own footprint at free fall speed. For this to happen, all support columns must have give way at the same time, indicating a controlled demolition. The model that NIST provides does not match what actually happened. Further the source code of the model is classified.

Anything that I have researched over these last 14 years, leads me to raise a full cloud of suspicion for the media and the gov. narrative of 911. A blind society has to remove the veils without any passions. No other truth will replace the current LIES, unless our society reviews the brain washing from our MAIN MEDIA INDUSTRY.

But the ones with the power and the money got away with mass murder and made billions in the process. I would just like to add my name in support of this campaign.
I still don't under stand how soft aluminum manages to slice a near perfect cut out of a plane going through super hardened solid steel girders like a hot knife through butter. And the nose of one actually comes out the other side of one of the towers. You owe your people an explanation.

I believe our government orchestrated all aspects of the 9/11 occurrences and then covered them up. It infuriates me that they did this and that they think they could just lie it all away, and we would not find out. It breaks my heart for the lives lost and the families that lost their loved ones.
