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.

Always thought there was something fishy about this. If there is nothing to hide, then why are they hiding everything? Originally from Maine, I grew up in a somewhat conservative family and when I could vote for the first time I voted for Nixon. History has shown that I made a massive mistake and feel I owe George McGovern an apology for believing Nixon's lies about him, especially after reading about McGovern's WWII bomber pilot exploits in Stephen Ambrose's excellent book 'The Wild Blue'. While discussing politics with a conservative friend, he asked me how my political views could change from being conservative to Liberal. My response was I got an education. That's what we need here. We need to learn the truth, educate people, and take steps to ensure this never happens again. Remember The Maine!

I watched the second plane hit on the internet as it happened, and saw the fall of the last tower on the internet as it happened. I wondered at the time why it looked so much like a typical building demolition.

It is impossible for the highly asymmetric damage caused by the second plane hitting WTC 2 to result in the completely symmetrical collapse of that building. The incredibly symmetrical implosion of WTC 7 into its own footprint confirms that controlled demolition was involved. This could only be done well in advance of 9/11/2001, and only with the full knowledge of the security firms in control of the WTC site. It could not have been perpetrated by a ragtag group of desert desperadoes.

I would like to see more info on control groups which support AE911 data....meaning...in a professional building demolition has the presence of iron spheres/thermate been detected? Is that the norm? If WTC7 was brought down by mechanisms other than controlled demolition, then why are not professionals in the field of demolition lining up to patent these mechanisms (reductio ad absurdum)?

Occupation: Industrial Engineer & Metallurgy Professor At Northwestern Michi
First I attended Northwestern Michigan College for mechanical engineering - received associates degree in science and arts. I then attended Ferris State University where I received my associate of science degree as well as my bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering while specializing in material science and metallurgy. I have held various positions such as: extrusion engineer, design engineer, process engineer, industrial engineer, as well as professor of metallurgy.
It's appalling how poorly the official investigations were executed. Especially since evidence started getting hauled off site only 2 weeks after the destruction occurred. If a plane crashes under 'normal' circumstances, months and months worth of investigations occur as well as reconstruction of the aircraft in order to determine the root cause of the accident through failure analysis. I wish a proper and thorough investigation could have taken place that also took into account the explanation as to why molten steel was present. The melting points of A36 and A242 structural steel from which the towers were constructed are 2,882 degrees F and 2,450 degrees F respectively, while jet fuel burns at a maximum temperature of around 1,500 degrees F - clearly not hot enough to turn structural steel into orange, molten liquid. The color orange is an important distinction because molten aluminum is silver in color which many have claimed the molten material is simply aluminum from the aircraft. The Boeing 767 aircraft that allegedly crashed is mostly constructed of 2024 aluminum which begins to melt at 935 degrees F which obviously isn't hot enough to melt the structural steel either..

I specialize in Digital Electronic Design, which has nothing to do with Structural Engineering, however, Physics is Physics and it doesn't take a genius to see the truth in the proof.
AE911Truth.org has done a tremendous job and service to true Americans and the American way to objectively and clearly state the dramatic contradictory evidence to the official 911 government storybook fable. The fact that the information is coming from degreed and licensed professionals in the Architecural and Structural Engineering community provides a level of credibility that will hopefully propel the issue into the public spotlight. I was skeptical until I recently read about the nano-thermite particles independently found in the WTC dust remnants. Coupled with the facts: that NIST did not test for thermite or explosives; NIST avoids the thermite discussion; and the pancaking collapse of the 3 buildings that looks exactly like a controlled Las Vegas style hotel demolition; denial seems impossible. NIST officials should be indicted.

Basic metallurgy and concrete principals are very simple and show what it takes to melt steel and turn concrete to dust. My statement is of surprise in regards to this absolute orchestrated cover up to information that if was made available to general public would bring forth the same outrage and remorse that everyone was feeling that day. As a very busy professional until I found out about this I must fall back on our heritage and guidance of our founding fathers of this country. Over 6 years I did not even question our leaders because of the trust I had in our process to always look for liberty. I will use all of my resources to support and defend everyone who is no longer watching the media web that has been a partner to or guided by fear. Thanks to all of the diligent professionals who keep pushing forward to break this myth. In regards to the actual data around this controlled demolition we as professionals once aware of the absolute ridiculous information supplied by our leaders and the media vs the detailed data involved we have no choice but to stop this misinformation. I must apologize to all the families of 9/11 and the families of our military personnel who have lost loved ones in any conflict propagated by this myth. Again Thank you.

The existing and accumulating evidence and implications demand a thorough and competent investigation of 9/11 without fear or favor. The science, evidence and reasoning in this slide show alone are extremely compelling and any summary dismissals of Conspiracy Theory are arrogant, disingenuous and anti-scientific (how and why would/could anyone summarily dismiss evidence they have not even bothered to view let alone consider?). Any by the way, if conspiracies do not actually occur in the real world, why do we have laws against them? The official 9/11 Commission was worse than an outright fraud and cover-up.

I'm a veteran from the US Army Engineer Corps, specializing in carpentry and masonry. I don't have a degree for anything related to skyscrapers, but just having a better understanding of construction materials than your average person is all I need to have in order to clearly see that those buildings did not just collapse into dust because of fire.
It's obvious that a new investigation of this tragedy is warranted and long past due; it should be made completely up of people who are actually American citizens, not dual citizens of any kind. I've seen the rare footage clearly showing the computer-controlled explosions and seen video of eyewitness accounts on that day. I knew all along that three planes had gone down, and that one didn't make it [to it's obvious target], and that, coincidentally, Building 7 (where the headquarters for the CIA, FBI, and others was located, coincidentally) had to be 'pulled' or destroyed because of 'fire'. Yea. Riiigghhht. Rudy Giuliani burying the bulk of the buildings' remains underground is also too much to believe happened. It's time for accountability. No more people in openly secret societies in our government. No more Signing statements, destroying evidence, patriot Acts, SPP, and the gross misuse of the term Government Secrecy are highly likely in-our-face cop outs for the people who are involved in all this mess.

I am very concerned about the way that the government and federal administration have conducted this Commission report and its so-called investigation. It appears that explosives places within the buildings were never considered as a catalyst for the tower collapses.

There is absolutely no doubt with the evidence the AE911 Truth movement has shown that those three buildings, WTC 1 WTC 2 and Building 7 were professionally demolished on Sept. 11, 2001. Also, the evidence shows, with absolute certainty, a cover-up, denial of evidence and cooperation at many levels of our government. What concerns me is how millions of people are unaware of hypnosis and how vulnerable we really our and how easy it is carried out on the public.

Having been presented the evidence from multiple sources about the collapse of the WTC towers I at least believe the cause of the collapse was not due to the collision of the airplanes. It seems very likely that the collapse of all three towers was due to structural tampering of some sort from within. It even seems possible that planes had nothing to do with the collapse.

I am a proud US military veteran who, like so many other patriotic citizens, was subjectively spoonfed the official story from the mass media and our own government. In the first days, weeks and months following 9/11, I noticed a few strange anomolies, such as the odd damage to the Pentagon, but didn't think much of them at the time. Over the past two years, I have since objectively examined the evidence, applied the laws of physics, and cast aside patriotic bias. I now discount the official story and seek the unbiased truth that an independent investigation would provide.
My opinion on the Tower 1 & 2 collapses is that they were controlled demolitions designed to destroy evidence of the aircraft. I do not believe the planes that hit the buildings were commercial jetliners filled with terrorist hijackers and unsuspecting citizens, but were military planes masquerading as the missing hijacked flights. I also believe that WTC 7 was a planned and controlled demolition, perhaps to destroy the evidence of a 9/11 central command, and most definitely to propogate much of the insurance, financial aspects, and inside-trading anomolies surrounding the 3 WTC building collapses. The concept that three massive steel skyscrapers could instantly collapse as a result of burning jet fuel seems preposterous to me.

I am a strong supporter of our nation's defense and have sworn an oath to the Constitution to defend the US from all enemies both foreign and domestic.

First: Since I did my military services in the Swedish Air Forces (SAF) (1985-1986), I was confused already from day one about the lack of intervention from the USAF - especially regarding Pentagon and the time it took from the first crash to the last. First thought was that USAF was in a worse shape in 2001 than SAF in the eighties, but also that your home defense might not be as advanced as your forces abroad... Quite stupid thought, but it comes natural to rationalize in this direction after such a catastrophe. Then I really didn't think much about this, except that the USA obviously used 9/11 as an argument to go for the oil, until last summer (2007). While hiking with friends - architects and landscape architects - I was told about the 9/11 truth-movement and the discussion about whether or not this was an inside job. I told them they were totally out of their minds. But - since I had my first doubts about the USAF - I also got curious, and finally looked at some internet pages. Now - after having seen quite many argument for and against - I think it's absolutely outrageous that anyone could still claim that these building fell naturally, because of the impact and fires. There were 3 different scenarios, but all building fell exactly in the same way as the others. The top of the buildings took the most difficult way down - straight through the remaining body underneath instead of tipping over on one side. Nothing remained standing. And the speed of it all! If American building are constructed in order to fall down as easily as possible instead of withstanding as much as possible - I might not dare to enter another high rise building in the US... Nothing reminds of how buildings fall down after accidents - everything reminds of a professional deconstruction work. Clearly - there is a need for an independent and international investigation - preferably with no US governmental participation!
