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.

The toxicity at ground zero was far greater than anyone warned then .Many 1st responders have died ,or are very sick .It seems only highly molten metal and finely pulverized concrete could lead to such toxic medical problems .This could not have happened in a physical only collapse , the so called government pancake theory .

The World Trade Center 7 building collapsing in a symmetrical manner nearly at the rate of gravity led me to question the official story. The fact that WTC7 was only mentioned as a foot note in the 9/11 Commission Report furthered my suspicions. Not long after the Report was published I found this website and have researched the circumstances surrounding 9/11 much closer. There is so much overwhelming evidence that I could no longer sit idly by.

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and have worked for Western Electric, Bell Telephone Labs, Merrick and Co., Mich Cons Gas Co., and Detroit Water and Sewerage Dept. I have some experience with dynamite and a little with thermite. I hold one patent, and I've had some pilot training.
The video '9/11 In Plane Site' shows a dust cloud 50-60 stories high rising from ground level northwest of the twin towers as they burn. Neither tower has collapsed yet, so there should only be smoke coming from the locations where the airplanes hit. This dust/smoke indicates some kind of explosion in the area before the towers collapsed. High powered explosives must have been used in addition to the thermite-controlled demolition.

There are serious problems with the official 911 commission's findings regarding the modes of collapse of the three WTC buildings and collection and interpretation of forensic evidence and eyewiteness testimony. Apparantly , the scientific method was not applied by those that directed and oversaw the investigation into what actually happened on 9/11/01.

I believe all three towers were fitted with thermite. How do two planes collapse three towers in an almost perfect vertical drop? Why did firefighters see molten steel even weeks after the collapse. Nothing could even burn hot enough to melt steel. A lot of things simply do not make sense.

I watched the event on television from Portland, Oregon. The destruction of the buildings never made sense to me, the official stories of New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania, using common sense, and visually (no plane wreckage and the planned demolition look of the buildings, etc.), well, it just didn't ever feel correct .

I cannot understand how the American government basically have got away with mass murder. I see all scientific evidence and still there's nothing that can be done.

Was a junior architecture intern during college. I could tell during the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, that things seemed 'fishy': The secret service employees picking up pieces of what looked like eggshells outside the Pentagon; knowing the 19 hijackers who got on the planes with assumed names just hours later; the debris being taken away before investigators had a chance to examine; World Trade Center Building 7 coming on fire (from what?) and then falling down (why?). None of it made sense at the time. Seemed like it was an inside job right from the beginning--a reason to gin up to war with Iraq, of all ridiculous reasons. Plus, my husband and I met several NYC police officers, a NYC detective, and firefighters at the scene who said THEY knew it was an inside job. Inside, meaning: Bush & Co.
Those towers, all 3, were taken down deliberately, and the Pennsylvania plane was shot down. All by our OWN government.

The amount of physical and circumstantial evidence has tipped the scales of this case against the official narrative of 9/11. The complete structural failures of World Trade Centers 1, 2, and 7 could not have happened due to fires. There needs to be a new investigation of 9/11 that is completely open to the public for review.

Revealing the true nature of 9/11 is a crucial part of understanding how populations are mislead. The overwhelming evidence of an inside job has the potential of waking up people to the reality of how people in power can operate. It could be a blessing in disguise if we find efficient ways to communicate this to ordinary people.

Mostly thru perseverance and wanting to know the truth has led me to follow AE's YouTube feed. The last few love videos have been amazing. I've been following AE9/11 since they sold their DVD years ago. I'm a truth seeker and critic of our government. When we know better we can do better.
Doesn't take a physics major to understand those buildings fell at free fall speed. Offices fires cannot do this on their own.

Lacked motivation at school, although capable, failed to see the relevance of what was being taught.
Too many unanswered questions in the official report, not that they have not been repeatedly asked. Too many coincidences with eye witnesses or people with conflicting 'evidence' and their mysterious deaths. Blasts in basements before 'planes' hit. Reporting by BBC of Tower 7 collapse when it clearly still stood in the background. Official story makes less sense than it being an inside job.

I'm a concerned citizen that has always thought the way the buildings fell did not match the official story.

After 16 years it is about time to have a look in to the 9/11 as a non partisan way to know the truth before it is too late. As an American and as a Muslim I can't believe how a Muslim can promote self-destruction while also killing innocent fellow citizens and neighbors! Since it is the core violation of Islamic believe system. Islamic faith promotes that love of their country is a fundamental believe of Islam and as a part of faith (Iman). Love of neighbor has been given the priority beyond religion (Muslims) and blood relatives according to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. I do see by 9/11 only the apartheid regime defense contractors in USA are the sole beneficiaries. There might have been collusion on this tragic incident.

I am not technical person but from the amount of research, videos and statements from US ex-intelligence officers, etc. viewed - I certainly agree that the way these buildings fell down had to be a miracle to collapse without causing much damage to any other buildings in the surrounding areas. Flightpath radars were down at the time - why would the USA do this? Further information coming to light from Wikileaks is just mind blowing and I am sure there are a lot of people shaking in their boots right now. It all comes down to $ and very interesting that the ownership of the building was taken over just prior to this tragedy, therefore a large insurance sum was paid out to the new owner.

When I was in fourth grade my science teacher recommended to my mother to get me tested for the Gifted & Talented program as she felt I was very precocious. I tested into the 99.8 percentile in the United States. I'm self taught, and proficient in many fields of research, especially physics. What I witnessed that day defied all laws of physics.
If timed, both Towers fell within free fall speeds. Having looked at the best calculations, the highest the temperatures reached, was over calculated at 540'F, way under the temperature necessary to actually start causing even the slightest metal fatigue. It was therefore impossible for there to have been structural deformities leading to a pancaking of the structural steel that day. I've also seen the thermitic residues found, and have seen spectral analyses of these residues. It was incontrovertibly thermite, and controlled demolition that brought down the Towers that day.

My first realization that something was fundamentally wrong with the official narrative about 9/11 was when I casually looked for pictures taken by ordinary citizens showing planes hitting the South tower. I found none. Without exception, the plane approaching and striking the South tower was the most photographed event in the history of photography. Why, because every set of eyes in the view area was riveted on the North tower. And, every person who had a camera would have had that camera in their hands. Yet there were no pictures to be found using a Google image search. Where are the pictures? Not a single picture showing clear markings of a passenger plane approaching or hitting the South tower. There should have been thousands.
