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 destruction of three skyscrapers on 9/11 produced the most devastating images I have seen in my lifetime. We lost the most monumental buildings on the NYC skyline. This event changed the way of life for Americans. It created a new level of security for large gatherings and travel. It promoted a new level of respect for the dedicated men & women who serve as first responders. For a while, it renewed the American society's love of liberty and patriotism. However, the evidence of controlled demolition of WTC 7 must be investigated so we can understand the true cause of this event.

As the evidence accumulates that is inconsistent with the official version of what happened on 9/11, I find I can no longer believe it. In particular there is incontrovertible video evidence that the news media was fed information that Building 7, which was not hit, had fallen and this was being reported while Building 7 continued to stand in the background behind the reporter reporting that it had fallen, which it then proceeded to do a few minutes later. The absence of any information related to 9/11 in the FBI's wanted poster for Osama Bin Laden, reportedly due to lack of evidence, the building owner's reported acquisition of greater insurance coverage a few weeks before the attacks, the absence of plane debris at the Pentagon and Pennsylvania sites, and the physical facts about the melting point of steel and the heat generated by airplane fuel, all added together continue to contribute to my skepticism about the 9/11 official version.

Occupation: Construction Engineer
I hold a bachelor degree in Aerospace Engineering, graduating in 2004. I worked for one year in Aerospace Engineering for GKN Aerospace Engineering services (North Melbourne Victoria), two years in V.C Ghallagher Civil/Structural engineering consultancy (Croydon Victoria), 2 years in construction at H.Daniel construction (Greenvale Victoria), and 4 years as a private tutor of maths and physics.
9/11 physics elementary points: 1) In the case of the ''North' ''Tower': Without the assistance of demolition, it is physically impossible for the top 10 floors of structure above the damage zone to destroy the lower 90 floors of intact structure, given the lower structure is of the same material if not a stronger one. The maximum that a 10 floors section can destroy by an impact's dynamic load, assuming that it has been given enough distance to build up enough kinetic energy, would still not exceed 10 floors before itself gets consumed in the process. Hence such a collapse is expected to be arrested. 2) In Building 7: Without the help of demolition, it is physically impossible for a structural failure progressing from top to bottom to have an acceleration equal or close to the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/ss). This was clearly witnessed in the collapse of building 7 for a complete 2.5 seconds of the event (refer to Mr David chandler's graphical computation of the speed of fall on youtube). 3) The damage and fire from the impacting aeroplane was to one side of the twin tower. So if fire was to cause the weakening or melting of the structural steel core, then it would not have been symmetrical across the entire cross section of the building causing a simultaneous collapse. Rather it would be a pitching case, such as tipping and falling to the side. The symmetrical collapse of the building onto its footprint can only be explained by the process of controlled demolition. 4) Weeks after 9/11, red glowing molten steel was seen in the rubble measuring around 2000 Degrees Celsius. No uncontrolled hydrocarbon fire can cause such temperatures let alone an oxygen starved office fire. This can only be the result of incendiary devices used in the process of demolition.

In view of the pervasive reluctance of officials to release critical evidence, the numerous scientific and engineering anomalies and research results regarding the event, an unbiased investigation is imperative. Anomalies include: uncharacteristic free-fall collapse of buildings, hit or not hit by planes, complete destruction of buildings specifically designed to take impact of large airliners, never-before seen collapse of steel-frame buildings due to fire, persistent molten iron well beyond the temperature of burning fuel, projection of massive debris far from the towers, upward ejection of debris, complete pulverization of concrete and, it appears, even steel, evidence of thermate in dust plus the quick removal of twisted, severed steel columns from crime site. These are professional technical assessment issues specific to WTC 1,2&7. There are a multitude of other anomalies, and a chain of suspicious behaviors and subsequent hasty legal and foreign policy activities with suspicious basis, all which strip validity from all the ad-hominem attack arguments and scientifically untenable studies which have sought to discredit anyone honestly skeptical. Truth and reconciliation came to south Africa. In the land of the free and home of the brave, justice can and must be carried out. If the government story holds water, those who advocate it would only be vindicated and so no objection is reasonable.

Given the roll our government has had in various attacks around the world throughout history, and countless operation cover-ups that slowly become declassified, I see this as nothing out of the norm for what they're capable of. I believe these towers were brought down by a secondary method of explosives to justify a war that no one wanted, and to cover up dealings that had gone too far.

I'm a 63 year old female who got my AS in Criminology - Forensic Evidence in 2014. My instructor taught me, and later became his classroom assistant so I passed on, the importance of looking at the evidence, and can not make any determination until all the evidence is in. Evidence never lies, it is what it is.
After looking at all the footage from 9/11 with a different perspective, meaning separating what I was seeing from what we were all told, I went in search online to look for others that had serious questions about that day. It's nice to know I'm not crazy and that more and more people are coming to the same conclusion as myself. It wasn't WTC 7 that started my questioning of events, it was the collapse of Towers 1 & 2. I didn't know cement, and especially steel, could 'foam' and disintegrate due to office fires. Then I looked at the Pentagon, and I was done, meaning I no longer believed anything we were being told about the events of that day. Quite frankly, to have a true Democracy, we must have the truth from the very people we elect to serve the citizens of this country.

I not believe Al-Qaeda attack, look a inside terrorist attack and some governments , political and some military used by criminal organisation to make money, Look that this criminal organisation do it before, because is so evident and they make the mistake to pull down the build N' 7 hours after they pull down the WTC 1 and 2.This need to stop now.

The US government have failed in addressing certain aspects of this case. I have seen clips of World Trade Center 7 falling and that is very shady stuff. I don't believe that was fire. I'm not an expert but there are so many loopholes and cover-ups, it is clear to me that something is off-kilter. The story we are being told cannot be the truth.
