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 received my high school diploma and graduated from St.Patrick's high school. Shortly after I started an apprenticeship with Local 95 Heat and Frost Insulators and I am currently attending my 3rd and final 6weeks of trade school which will move me from the level of apprentice to journeyman.
I highly doubt the official story about the WTC buildings for a number of reasons. 1) The fact that the buildings fell at nearly free fall speed encountering no resistance on the way down. 2) The buildings were built to withstand multiple plane impacts and the buildings still fell. 3) Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the structural steel and cause a sudden collapse. The jet fuel only has the capability of warping and bending the steel beams which in my opinion would not be enough to bring the buildings down SUDDENLY. 4) The concrete was completely pulverized suggesting the possibility of explosives being used. 5) Molten metal was seen by the first responders dripping down the steel beams like lava. Pools of molten metal were also found underneath the rubble of the towers. If a fire isn't hot enough to melt structural steel then what caused the molten metal?? Could it be some sort of an explosive? 6) Many interviews have been done with the first responders, and people who where there who said they heard explosions in the building before and during the WTC collapses. There is video evidence to prove this. Also a man named Willie Rodriguez who was a janitor in the basement levels of the towers heard explosions in the basement just a few seconds before the plane actually crashed into the building. You can find his videos online through Google or Youtube, just type in Willie Rodriguez. 7) Before 9/11 no steel framed structure has ever collapsed due to a fire. This would make the WTC buildings the 1st in history according the the commission report if it were true but I know it's not. And remember WTC building 7 was not hit by a plane and it still collapsed. 8) If the buildings collapsed by fire then why were steel beams thrown hundreds of feet away from the towers. In one case a steel beam was even lodged into a neighboring building. If it was a natural building collapse the beams would have fell straight down not across the street. The amount of force needed to throw a steel beam this far and lodge it into another building would have to great. My conclusion explosives were used. I'm not an architect. I'm not an engineer. I'm not a scientist or a physicist. I'm just an average JOE. Evidence of the truth is in plain sight and easy to understand if you are willing to open your mind. It doesn't take a great mind to see behind the lies of the commission report.

"The attacks on NYC and the buildings of the WTC in 2001 were destructive and deadly. The NIST Report and many of the ""official"" reports that have been broadcast to the public are incorrect and misleading about the causes of collapse. The scientific method has been grossly ignored, and much of the evidence of the truth has been hidden from the general public and the Professional community. These three Structural Steel Buildings clearly did not collapse due to fire from the fuel and combustibles within the building, as the NIST report claims. After reviewing Structural Analysis from Engineers and the evidence provided with expert testimony of many scientist and building professionals, I believe there is overwhelming cause to further investigate and reveal the full truth for future generations of Americans and the world. When the physics and the science is so contrary to the official narrative, correction is absolutely necessary."

Over the last year I have conducted an extensive review of the research provided by AE911 group and others. I am sorry I am so late to the party. I am very impressed by the extent of the research, the professionalism of the many researchers providing that work, as well as how compelling the results prove demolition of the WTC Buildings. I believe the case for a new, proper investigation with subpoena power has easily been made. The dynamics (accelerations) of the collapse, the evidence of temperatures consistent with thermites, and the explosive features evident in the videos (particularly the South Tower) are more than adequate to prove the demolition hypothesis.

The evidence seems abundant that the World Trade Center buildings were not taken out entirely by aircraft. Even if the first two buildings were compromised by the aircraft, there is no possibility that either aircraft took out WTC 7. It was clearly imploded. The picture of the building collapsing was identical to pictures I've seen in the past of buildings being taken out for urban renewal here in OKC.

When a person really thinks about it the odds of three buildings falling into their own footprint as they did within the time each took to fall must be a million to one against it happening.

And no, jet fuel cannot melt steel. I used to refine it.
My comments will pretty much match those of others: Jet fuel does not burn at a temperature high enough to melt steel (but it will reach a temperature high enough to blow up concrete); to my knowledge no steel framed building has collapsed due to fire; The buildings collapsed into their own foot print which points to a controlled demolition; that Building 7 was not struck by aircraft and therefore had no load on the structure, it seems strange that it collapsed into its own foot print from mere fire damage; firefighters have gone on record saying they heard multiple explosions; Larry Silverstein took out insurance on Building 7 six months before the terrorist attacks; etc. etc. I'm not an engineer, but have read many studies by engineers and scientists.

I'm very concerned about the collapse of the third building. Building #7. This fact is often brushed over. Building #7 blew up right around the same time the main towers went down, the funny thing is, no planes ran into it. It should be a crime for us not to ask questions. It affected us all in a tragic and extremely painful way.

The official rendition of what took place during the supposed Islamic attacks on 11 Sept 2001 is clearly a farce, a lie, a betrayal and an example of the ends to which the all-powerful shadow force will go to achieve its aims. While Islamic extremists were involved at some point, these individuals could not possibly have accomplished the preparations necessary for the demolitions involved on the World Trade Center destruction nor has it been proven that commercial aircraft struck the pentagon or crashed in Shanksville PA.

The official explanation insults all engineers, architects, iron workers, carpenters-- all of the skilled trades involved in contemporary steel-frame structure commercial buildings. It insults the intelligence of anyone who carefully examines the evidence. 9-11 (and the events that followed with 9-11 as the excuse) was the crime of the century. When have you ever seen a crime scene cleaned up so quickly, with so much of the evidence being destroyed, with the alleged culprits and explanation of the collapses being broadcast by the media literally before the dust had even settled?

Well, hardly just finished my studies and looking for a job right now, so my bio is not really relevant...
I have always thought that we did not know much about what happened that day, and that we would never know much more. I heard about conspiracy theories before and never wanted to look into it because I expected these people to make smoky suppositions about free masons and co and it did not interest my. Recently in France a professor in charge of an army school was fired by Mr Morin, French Minister of defense, and I thought that an actress such as Marion Cotillard fell into it does not surprise me, but if a guy such as Mr Chauprade does ... What are they on about ? what are they talking about ? so I googled it... and came across your website. Nothing about Free Masons, nothing about were there a plane at the Pentagone or not ? or were there bombs attached under the planes or not ?. instead of that, I found what does Newton tell us ? and suddenly every thing becomes so clear !

With the testimony of Scott Forbes, it is evident that there were intentional security breaches in the week before 9-11. Testimony that the South Tower was evacuated and the security system shut down while not knowing exactly who entered the building and for the purpose intended (cable upgrade) requires investigation. Also, the removal of the bomb sniffing dogs required investigation as well. Were they removed on just the Thursday before 9-11 or in addition for the rest of the time before 9-11 as well. Where is security guard Daria Cord? Could she be interviewed further? It would probably have taken several months to wire both buildings in the manner that they were demolished and probably by military experience.

I'm concerned about the statements made by the 911 commission. I have doubts about the way the buildings collapsed. I have real misgivings about the slow reaction time of our military to this event. I just can not understand why there was so little wreckage from the aircraft that went down in PA. I can't understand why all the sights were not investigated like a crime scene should be and the way all the remains of the buildings sent off and not investigated. Bldg 7 there is no reasonable explanation for that one to come down at all.

Pancaking effect and burst of smoke at different levels draws great question that it was a demolition Job from the onset. I truly believe the government was involved to get the united states into a war or any war so spending money of the vast military complex could proceed since it had been sitting dormant since the ending of armament build up from the cold war that is no more. It gave the big oil companies fast access to the oil reserves in Iraq and VP Cheney a means to give no bid contracts to his old company Haliburton .

As a expert on burning and welding steel, I know what it takes to bend distort and make steel fail. JP5 jet fuel DOES NOT have the capability to create enough heat to have steel fail. Kerosene burns at 800 degrees. Flash point at about 1800 degrees. Far lower then 2700 degrees to melt steel. I am totally convinced that the wtc collapses were controlled. I also think that most heavily defended building in the world, the Pentagon, was also controlled. All at hands of the Bush administration.

Prior to viewing the evidence provided by Richard Gage, AIA, I only had a fleeting interest in the concept of the 'free fall speed' at which WTC 1, 2 & 7 fell. It seems abundantly clear to this non-engineer that in order for these buildings to fall at these speeds there had to be virtually no resistance from below. If indeed the buildings pancaked downward floor by floor, then logically one could conclude each floor would have provided that resistance. Multiply the level of that resistance by the number of stories below the plane strikes, you will undoubtedly find that it would take much longer for the buildings to fall. WTC 7 seems to be a special case in that combined with eyewitness reports of explosions, early media reports of its collapse, and law enforcement warning that the building was going to blow up (with a countdown even), it fell into its own footprint. Mainstream media has effectively eliminated all discussion of this building, and my only conclusion on why, is that the media are told what to report. The most intriguing part of the entire video to me is when the lead engineer of the NIST investigation claims that he has heard no testimony, or seen any evidence that there was molten metal on the site of the WTC's. Forgive me, but I am able to research this information through my simple home internet connection with my $400 PC. Are you telling me that someone tasked with investigating 9/11 isn't privy to the same information as myself?

I watched the collapse of the Twin Towers by means of live television coverage, and I was amazed at how similar the destruction was to controlled demolitions of structures that I have personally viewed. It did not make sense to me that each building in its entirety came down to street level. Having a modicum of understanding of physics, I wondered why the upper stories (above the planes' entrance points) did not tilt and fall -- rather than coming straight down, taking the other floors all the way to street level. It did not make sense to me then, and it does not make sense to me now -- unless the buildings were deliberately demolished with explosives.

I worked on Controls and Displays for the F-14 Tomcat's Phoenix Missile system. This missile can travel over 100 nautical miles and is one of the longest range air-to-air missiles in the world. Combined with the fact that an F-14 can travel at Mach 2.3 (more than twice the speed of sound), I find it hard to believe that a missile like this could not have caught up with the likes of 757's and 767's (which travel at about mach .86). So why weren't NORAD and our east coast carriers in Norfolk (such as the USS George Washington) ready for something like this? It is for reasons such as this combined with the discovery of thermitic materials in the WTC rubble that I now believe that World Trade Center buildings 1,2, and 7 are the result of controlled demolitions.

I have no doubt whatsoever and to be honest,never did as i deal in explosives that this was an inside job.It was about oil and money.

While in Navy i attended several Demolition Schools, The whole thing dawned on me when i saw those building s collapse. It appears as an implosion not a explosion as when delivering ordnance ie: the demolition of a building, and the concrete Powder? Well I'm lost. Just would like to see something looked into.

I was in the U.S army for 2 years and studied basic electronics and radio repair. I have since been studying automotive repair and working on cars. Although this has little to do with building design and demolition. I understand that what we see here is more than a building falling from excessive heat.
I think we have a right to know the truth, and so far we aren't being told the truth.
