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 near free-fall collapse of these buildings, especially the office building that showed very limited damage before its collapse in its own footprint in the late afternoon, raises great questions. This is especially so, as NO OTHER TOWER anywhere in the world, except these 3, has suffered a collapse attributed solely to fire.

The way that the three buildings fell on 9/11 certainly raises doubts that they fell due to the reported causes: damage by the aircraft and the subsequent fire. The fact that Building 7 also fell in the same fashion (completely vertical), and the abundant physical and photographic evidence of explosives, convinces me that an independent investigation of this matter must be undertaken.

I am a retired member of FDNY and I was down on 9/11 from September 12-19, and then went down again in February and March. I would love to volunteer and help.
I am still confused and perplexed on how Building 7 collapsed only hours after catching fire. I have numerous videos of high rise fires that have burned for days without a collapse. This and the fact that the second tower was hit have always disturbed me. How could a country as powerful as ours have taken such a direct hit with out any help? What I mean to say is could 20 men with box cutters perpetrate such a crime without any help from the inside? I was not thinking that on that day, however I did as time went on.

When the truth is not completely investigated and clear scientific evidence is ignored or unjustly dismissed, further examination is mandated. This is the standard in capital murder cases as well as corporate crimes. 2,996 people were murdered and thousands more had long term health effects, warranting an unvarnished investigation leading to the absolute truth. The honor and commitment of 343 Firefighters and 71 Police officers slain should not be disrespected by political and financial conflicts of interest.

With our constitutional liberties systematically being eroded, I believe we need to fight the forces that seek to control us. The events of 9/11 were a false-flag operation of the highest degree and the truth must be revealed through a new thorough and impartial investigation, in order to bring the responsible parties to justice and to preserve our freedom. Our country, especially the people that died that day, deserve nothing less.

Fuel oil, even with the addition of compressed ambient air, cannot achieve temperatures over 2000 deg F. Not even in an atomized state, with the addition of medical grade O2, will JP4 fuel reach a temperature causing catastrophic failure in an iron building. The world trade center had even been treated with an asbestos fire retardant layer!

NIST and the 9/11 Commission Report has shown a clear agenda to find what they were told to find, and not the truth. They struggled with an impossible theory that they had to demonstrate as somehow plausible, and their blatant ignorance of critical evidence is painfully obvious. Maybe their families have been threatened? I won't judge.

I would like a more complete and comprehensive study of ALL the available evidence that is still available. I do not believe that there was any thorough study done of this. There was, in my opinion, a reluctant study done by NIST which failed thoroughly on all levels of a comprehensive investigation done merely to placate the population. This is almost exactly like the Warren commission where there is a study put forth that everyone knows, with even a little insight, is nothing even remotely close to what the facts are of the actual events. Like the Warren commission report, it is considered complete, put to rest and never reexamined. It seems, like the Warren commission, it will never be reopened and the hope that, when enough time passes, that everyone will grow tired of running into a brick wall without any progress and simply go away or die off and history will stand, as history does, even if it is inaccurate.

My personal experience living in NYC during 9/11, and background as a trained firefighter, contribute to my relentless pursuit of truth surrounding the events of 9/11. 343 firefighters lost that day and thousands of first responders have fallen ill from the toxic exposure of Ground Zero. Thousands died on 9/11 and millions in the wars that started after in its name. We owe it to our country to ask questions and demand the truth. It is unpatriotic to silence any inquiries.

The American People deserve to know the truth on what happened on 9/11/01. The evidence is overwhelming that the official story put out by NIST is not a reasonable explanation. Grenfell Tower in London burned intensely for 24 hrs and was not fully extinguished for 60 hrs without collapsing. WTC 7 burned for 7 hours and suffered a total, even, collapse at freefall speed. Fire has never caused a steel skyscraper collapse in history. Then we had 3 in the same day. The odds of that are beyond astronomical.
