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 have been a practicing electronics hardware engineer in the tech field in Silicon Valley ever since receiving a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara. Though the BSEE ultimately focuses on electronics, electronic devices, and materials, like most engineering degrees it also requires significant background study in physics, mechanics, and mathematics to sufficiently ground the recipient in the general discipline of engineering.
You hardly need college physics to show that the mechanics of NIST's collapse model doesn't fit the evidence collected on that day. A simple conservation of energy problem (taught in most high school treatments of mechanics) suffices. Take the twin towers for example: if the tops of the buildings accelerated towards the ground at the rate of free-fall, which I believe has been adequately established through video and seismic analysis, it follows that all of their stored gravitational potential energy is being expended accelerating their mass towards the surface of the earth. From whence came the energy responsible for dismantling the steel support structure below the falling mass then? How can one source of potential simultaneously be totally expended in the acceleration of mass earthward while also providing the energy to pulverize hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel and concrete? It simply can't... and that's one of many reasons why NIST's explanation is totally unacceptable.

I was a staunch republican at the time of 9/11. I supported the invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan at the time. However, about 2 years later I became aware of building 7. After carefully evaluating the evidence, I concluded that these 3 buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. I now believe that there is an agenda to take away our civil liberties under the auspices of fighting a false terror enemy.

Born in the U.S., watched the twin towers being built floor-by-floor as I drove across the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey to school in New York every day. Moved to Canada in 1973, back and forth but finally settled in Toronto Ontario. The day the twin towers came down I had started the first day of my Master of Urban Design degree at the University of Toronto; watched on TV as the world came to a stand-still.
First clued in to the bigger mystery of 9/11 in around 2006, when I became aware of the question of how WTC 7 could possibly have collapsed from fire alone. I write about my growing awareness..

As I watched the collapse occur on the morning of 9/11/01 I was shocked because I had been sure that the buildings would not collapse as I watched for the time between the impact and the collapse. The failure mode made no sense to me as I watched it. I read the article in the New Yorker about the structural engineer of the building about a month later. He wondered if the fault lay in a cost cutting measure at the time of construction that was forced on him - one in which less insulation was wrapped around the steel. He blamed himself for the failure. I find the 9/11 Blueprint for Truth Evidence far more convincing.

I strongly doubt the official story on 9/11. I was at the WTC on Labor Day, 2001, and the event disturbs me greatly to this day. I linked the Loose Change website to my blog back in June of 2006 in order to spread its message to others, have seen Improbable Collapse, and the final cut of Loose Change.

After viewing ESO. My thoughts on the destruction of the 3 towers has changed significantly. I was there and heard distinct sounds of explosions. I knew on that day it wasn't the sound of floors collapsing. Initiallly I believed it could be gas line explosions. I now am completely convinced there had to be pre planted explosions. Espically when it comes to building 7. I'm not 100% sure who is responisble or why. I do know the official story is far from true.

Absolute disgrace regarding all tower collapses. Especially tower 7 which appears to be an obvious controlled demolition... Housed the secret service, CIA, IRS, etc. perfect way to delete a ton of data in one go... all for a few greedy families, to hurdle them further into the powerful world elite! And at no better time, seeing as though the day prior, Bush jr and Rumsfield announced a couple of trillion dollars have simply gone missing... the list goes on... the asbestos that has and is silently killing people whom were in that path, that day.

My intent is to find answers to the question that have arised on information regarding 1) How it is possible that an iron structure collapsed due to this event? 2) How did the structures iron get to a molten state? 3) How it is possible that, if true, evidence of thermite was found in the debris? 4) What caused World Trade Center 7 to collapse like it did? 5) If true, why was evidence ( structural beams) sold to China before being properly investigated? 6) Why the investigation from 911 Commission report did not rule out all possibilities from the structural collapse of all buildings?

No technical education or experiences. However, I am a thinking person who knows bulls**t when I encounter it and the official story is most definitely bulls**t.
Only idiots believe these buildings were destroyed by being hit by planes.Only imbeciles can watch the fall of these buildings and not know they were controlled demolitions. We, the American people not only have a right to know the truth of 9/11, we have an obligation to the Americans murdered that day and the countries falsely accused.

I remember coming home from school, I was 11 years old and my parents had the news on. I saw the second plane hit the south tower and didn't stop watching for several hours. I saw all three towers collapse and I remember seeing at the time that it looked like a demolition. Through the years I have dipped into and retreated from the idea that this was a conspiracy but I have decided once and for all, thanks to the commitment you have all made as architects, engineers, scientists, psychologists, activists and human beings... to bring forward a compelling argument against the official story and why it so badly stinks!

The key question is: what happened to the vertical columns? How could they all collapse simultaneously, with no bending, from a fire. Especially on the lower floors where there was no fire? There is no place for them to go. They can't just telescope into each other.

Free thinker. Standard education left me utterly disappointed so I have spent the last 30 years investigating topics involving what is really happening behind the curtains of Government and commerce. Myself and several family members, friends and work colleagues discuss these topics all the time. 9/11 is pivotal to exposing what is really happening behind these curtains.
The official story is utterly unbelievable after no more than 30 mins research online. This needs to be discussed openly in the public eye and those responsible must be held accountable for both their actions and motivations for causing / allowing this to happen.

There is no logical explanation put forward by the US government as to why and how the twin towers collapsed.

To not do so represents the biggest threat to democracy and truth in history. Tens of thousands have died as a result of actions taken due to this event. Demand justice now.
