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.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

My first reaction to watching the first Tower fall on live television was that the building was imploded. Nothing that I have seen or read since has changed that opinion. The official investigation ignored most of the physical evidence. The official investigation also ignored the Saudi and Chinese connections to the event. An independent investigation looking at all of the evidence needs to be conducted to bring those individuals responsible to justice. The implications of all this are horrible. The results of ignoring it are even more horrible.

This crime is one of the most heinous imaginable. Not only were the buildings destroyed and people murdered, but our way of life - our democracy has been altered. And not in a good way.I am not an expert in structural engineering, but have a working knowledge of the principles involved. It is clear to me that the buildings were demolished. The question now is who and why?

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.

As I wrote to the professor of forensic engineering at Columbia University after hearing Mr. Gage: I think Gage's strength is that he strictly relies on network video clips, physical evidence, and eyewitness accounts to present his alternative analysis. He avoids the almost incomprehensible social psychological forces that may be forcing most people not to want really to know.

The cause of building WTC 7's collapse per the single point failure article did not show how the forces were transmitted through the truss members from the supposed column on the east side of the building (the initiating event) through to the other columns which were several hundred feet away. The article mentions progressive failures from this initial event, however the video of the collapse shows no such progression. Each and west sides fell simultaneously.

I believe in the possibility that certain US and global elites masterminded the attacks in concert with Bush's bin Laden family friends with objective of taking control Iraq's oil reserves, the eventual rebuilding of Iraq by Chaney's Halliburton, enactment of the patriot act, the establishment of homeland security, the continuing erosion of freedom and privacy in America, etc.', all bundled up into the ideology of the top 1% controlling the rest of us..., as W's daddy had proclaimed, advancement toward a new world order! We have become a police state run by the largest criminal organization in the world.

When I saw the first tower go done on television, I knew something wasn't right. I told my wife, how can this building drop straight down to the ground as a result of planes flying into the top floors? It didn't make any sense to me. After our initial shock, I told her it looked more like a controlled demolition.

I saw there was no plane in PA or in the Pentagon, Tower 7 magically collapsed, there were witnesses seeing dump trucks leaving the basement prior to, which was confirmed to be gold bars, the explosions out the side, and the melted medal. All those involved are in a gag order for life and most likely paid millions.

Unbelievable that NIST could produce an almost fraudulent, but certainly flawed, report about WTC #7; this is substandard work by NIST. Can you imagine NTSB doing a shoddy report like this on an aircraft accident?

9/11 was a traumatic experience for this country and the world. The immediate feeling was that the United States was under attack. Out of great darkness is the potential for great light and we, as a country, held the sympathy and concern of the world in our hands. That moment was squandered when we used the events of 911 as an excuse to invade another country instead of building bonds of Peace. That was when suspicion began to rise in my heart. The work of Architects for 9/11 Truth resonated deeply with me when I discovered their videos on YouTube. It is the truth. The evidence is more than overwhelming. It is frightening and disturbing. Thank you for your persistent pursuit of the truth. Someday the whole world will know and understand. How we deal with that disclosure will shape the future.

This is no conspiracy theory. The Illuminati is conspiracy fact. TheIlluminati have been behind, the financiers of, World Wars. They havebeen behind the biggest political assassinations; such as JFK. They arebehind the architectural design of airports, buildings, and even cities.Washington DC is a prime example.There is a semi-secret society, mostly of men, called Freemasonry.There are 33 levels of power in freemasonry. The number '33' is veryimportant, and so is its prime factors, 11 & 3. The World Trade Towerswas designed to be the biggest number 11 in the world. The airportrunway the the space shuttle used to land at at Kennedy Space Centeris numbered runway '33'. That was meant to be, nothing big or high-level in the world happens by coincidence or accident.The expanse of their intrigue is phenomenal. Freemasons controlled(started and ended) World War I, leaving a 33 mark at the time the warended, officially at 11am on 11/11/1918; 3 11s. Today it is known asVeteran's Day.The were behind the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy; whichoccurred on 11/22/1963. The 33 mark is 11+22. They shot him atopthe pyramid triangle the streets make at the masonic designed DealyPlaza in Dallas; which also falls on the 33rd degree line of latitude ofthe world map. This is how they celebrate their concealed power andand control over the world.The planning of 9-11 (which the Illuminati planned for) involved eventhe number of Flight 11 which struck the big 11 on the morning of the11 th anniversary of a speech the first Bush president gave on September11 th , 1990 in front of congress in which he called for a 'New WorldOrder'. Bush I stated it is not about one small country, the US, but aBIG IDEA, a 'new world order' (a world government). 9-11-2001 wasalso the precise 60 th anniversary of the construction groundbreaking ofthe Pentagon. David Rockefeller himself put the first shovel into theground on that morning, 9-11-1941.

"Witnessing the events being televised that fateful day on Sept. 11th, 2001 in my junior year of high school, even I had wondered how the buildings could collapse in such a uniform manner. I was more intrigued by architectural art around that time and it still baffles me how people can so readily accept that the collapse was due to ""structural failure"" and other such blatant lies. I would like to see the truth come out about this matter as well. Our country has lost many more lives fighting a war where there were no WMDs based on the premise that Iraq was at fault--despite the terrorists who were Saudi in majority!"
Just by having watched the ad nauseum televised events of the crashes and subsequent collapse of the WTC, it is clear that the damage caused by the planes to the buildings would not have caused a clean collapse of those skyscrapers. For there to be a uniform collapse of buildings that size, they would need to be imploded.

I simply never believed the two twin towers went down the way they did due to the planes flying into them. It appeared as though all 3 high rises went down from controlled demolition. I believe the eyewitnesses and the first responders who heard the secondary explosions.

Even watching the events unfolding on that day it looked suspect to me. I couldn't see how fires could possibly get hot enough to melt steel. All the buildings coming nearby straight down seems highly unlikely. I feel it was planned, not an accident or terrorist act. At least not by the usual suspects.

The report that the Ready Aircraft were unable to intercept due to being involved in a standard training exercise is pure BS! There is no doubt that the buildings were destructed by demolitions. Knowing how ""Alert Aircraft"" are positioned and deployed, Alert Aircraft are NEVER used in a training exercise. Using Alert Aircraft in a training exercise is a blatant lie! 9-11 was planned, carried out and covered up!"
