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.

So many things I have heard and seen about the destruction of the twin tower buildings, I did not understand. I thought my material science and building construction lectures set me up pretty well with all the principals if not all the mathematics. So how come the buildings just dropped like a stone? Why didn't they fall sideways? The planes did not hit dead centre! and they hit more columns on one side! Why does the mast on top of the building start collapsing before the top deck? Why does the top of the building just start breaking up straight away? Why does it not move as one piece above where the planes hit? Why was there so much dust, billowing clouds,surely not including asbestos? Then they fall down in less than 3 hours? (approx 80minutes and 120minutes) Whats wrong with the Fireproofing? What sort of fuel burns hotter than diesel or petrol also stored in these buildings? What destroys the fireproofing and melts steel, not just makes it sag. Why Molten Metal in the basements weeks after the collapse? Whelen the Wrecker men with boots too hot to wear? Despite continually flooding the basement the fires continue to burn without oxygen. Then a third 47 Storey WTC building fell, again dropping like a stone, despite only being hit by the main tower only on one side. In the Towering Inferno movie the building stays up, time for people to get out despite chaos. We as architects and engineers need to know how to stop the next terrorist plane knocking down one of our buildings.

Paul W. Mason, Civil/Structural
Bachelor of Engineering
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Close to 35 years experience designing, constructing and maintaining major structures for state government agency.
A rudimentary knowledge of physics and in particular Newton's laws of motion is all that is needed to realize that all three collapses could not have happened as we have been led to believe. It is simply not physically possible for a structure to collapse at near-free fall speed and, at the same time, pulverize all of its concrete and steel into tiny fragments; there is not sufficient energy available to achieve both results simultaneously. A collapse at near-free fall speed would require that there be absolutely no internal resistance within the structure to hinder its acceleration under gravity. Buildings such as these are designed for combinations of extreme loads that include earthquakes and hurricanes with a sizeable factor of safety thrown in. On a calm day, for buildings with lower than full occupancy, each of the WTC towers' strength capacity was quite likely five to six times higher than that required to support its actual applied loads. Each of the plane impacts were toward the tops of each of the Towers and, of course, the buildings get very considerably stronger toward the lower levels to support the loads applied from above. For this massively strong support structure to just crumble away at near-freefall speed would have required immense amounts of explosive energy; the 'collapses', quite simply, cannot have occurred any other way! There is no doubt that there were vast quantities of extra energy applied to the structures to achieve both rapid collapses and complete destruction of their components. This energy can realistically only have come from explosive charges. Anyone who views the videos can see that the Twin Towers exploded outward and upward during their collapse, quite simply impossible in a pure collapse scenario. The chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at near-free fall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote as to be beyond even consideration. 9/11 is an event that has changed world history and the lives of millions, mostly for the worst. I do not want to sit back and pretend it was one thing, when I know with 100% certainty it was something quite different. The greatest crime of all time must be subject to the best investigation of all time!

I am a conveyor maintenance tech. at a small electronics company in Southwestern Ohio.
In the documentary entitled 'The Explosive Reality', at approximately the 6:15 mark, amateur footage of the second plane hitting the WTC can be seen. If you watch the impacted face of the building, and not the approaching plane, you will see quite clearly a diagonal line of detonations from the upper left, going down to the right just BEFORE the plane impacts the building. Now if obvious video evidence isn't enough to merit a new and independent investigation, then I don't know what is. I wish us all the best of luck in this...because we're going to need it!

I distinctly remember watching events unfolding on tv; when they said they're coming down, I expected to see a wobbling skyscraper crashing over and flattening city blocks. I just thought it was weird that they fell the way they did. I am not technically trained, but I am reasonably intelligent and observant. The level of destruction seemed excessive for what we saw happen with the two planes.

The day of 9/11, watching 3 skyscrapers fall straight down, I knew the planes didn't do that. They didn't even hit Building 7. Where was the plane that went down at the Pentagon? I actually bought a TV after that, since I didn't have one. I watched for months and what the media was saying didn't make sense. I am now more interested in the psychology of why people can't see what I did. Why aren't they even curious? I started asking questions around a group of people and one man ask if I was a Truther and immediately left. The other people just went on talking about other things.

Utter disgust, shock and slight panic that the supposed 36% that think 9/11 was an inside job isn't higher. Buildings do not fall like pancakes without demolition activity. When the building collapses you can see charges popping off just below the collapse.

I am neither an architect, engineer, demotions expert, thermal chemist, physicist, or any other specialist knowledgeable enough to conclude the destruction of the WTC. That being said, I have many years of experience with the scientific approaches and methodology used to come to a concise conclusion. Forensic evidence from the WTC site was never analyzed properly according to experts and even NIST in their reports never acknowledge other probable theories that can explain the destruction of WTC7 that better fits a symmetrical collapse of a modern steel framed building.

The buildings were imploded; cameras were strategically placed to have the viewer get the most shock value out of it. Jets can't take down buildings like that, therefor there were explosives in the basements. No military intervention whatsoever while this was going on, when they can get almost anywhere in the blink of an eye.

I'm a clinical social worker and play therapist, dismayed and disheartened about the direction of our nation, especially the cruel and violent methods of destruction researched and developed by our military on vulnerable others such as non-human animals and the environment and ultimately to murder humans and their eco-systems. The comodification of all forms of life, human and otherwise, has reached horribly destructive proportions. Consumerism has replaced citizenship. Poor people in our nation are particularly vulnerable to this scourge and continue to be fodder for Fast Food-borne disease and subsequently Big Pharma and corporate medicine remedies. I want my nation back.
The business of America is business and so AE911 joins with PBS in a synergistic sales event to raise funds for PBS and to sell its own premise, which seems scientifically legitimate to my untrained mind. The commodification of everything, including those who died as a result of 9/11 continues.

The available evidence of how the WTC buildings collapsed on 9/11 strongly suggests that the official explanation provided by NIST and the 9/11 Commission needs significant validation and testing especially by an independent body of experts. Such a body needs to be free of potential conflicts of interest in the outcomes of such a study so that all may feel confident in the outcomes ultimately reported.

I knew, as I watched the coverage of the destruction of the Towers and Building 7 that it was an inside job. Absolutely none of it added up to a terrorist attack: the obvious controlled fall of the Buildings, and the fact that the planes had open and easy access, and that the evidence was immediately made 'off limits' and disposed of by being shipped immediately to China. We now know that this staged atrocity served multiple purposes. It destabilized the American people so they could be duped into false wars against countries that had not attacked us. It destroyed all kinds of information stored in the three buildings that may have been evidence of other unrelated crimes, and what of the gold that was stored there? One wonders how long this was in the planning . . .could the buildings have been outfitted for this at the time of their construction? Every aspect of this must be investigated, and like a holographic puzzle it must be reconstructed into meaningful, factual, coherence.

A concerned citizen of the world! I work in psychology not in hard science at all. You could make me believe just about anything about what temperature it takes to melt metal etc. I specialize in trauma recovery and domestic violence, relationship issues, depression, anxiety etc. I also teach parenting classes and attend a Buddhist group. I am dedicated to a world free of violence. I am a mother of 2 young girls (8 and 4) and I wouldn't dream of discussing this material with them. This is the world they are going to live in though...
I always thought that this attack had been very convenient on a Geo-political view point, as it provided a nice excuse to invade a petroleum rich country. I am originally from Canada and have always had a pretty suspicious view of US politics. It was, however, still a stretch for me to imagine the US government hiding such evidence and disregarding so many accounts. I saw many signs declaring that 9-11 was an inside job and discounted them as yet another conspiracy theory. This reports shakes my world and I hope that many join this petition in order to highlight the truth!

I am a social scientist who was educated as a political scientist. I have always been expected to follow scientific method in my own research. My area of specialization was political decision making and I completed interdisciplinary work in political psychology. I apply my trade of political psychology in the world of higher education by working with scientists and engineers to navigate government bureaucracy to acquire funding. Such funding supports their research and students to achieve innovation in technology. The importance of applying quality, defensible scientific method is a daily priority. I have been supporting such efforts in this field and working in government programs to support such activity for 26 years.
I am A scientist. I am disturbed to learn that compelling evidence has been ignored or destroyed following this tragedy. I find Dr. Margulis' comments very persuasive regarding the lack of a legitimate scientific method to arrive at credible conclusions. Because the focus of my expertise supports scientific efforts to advance technology, I have a great concern that NIST neglected to apply systematic scientific methods in their investigation. They should be the model in providing quality scientific method, but they failed to provide this model. I work daily with engineering and construction professionals and I feel I must support them in this effort to request a legitimate, independent, scientific inquiry into this disastrous and world-changing event.

I don't not have any tech. experience or education on the topic but support what you are trying to do. I believe there is a lot of missing information from that day and would like the government to come clean with what they know. They are lying to this country and the truth will be heard.
Disturbing. I believe there is a lot of missing information from that day and would like the government to come clean with what they know. They are lying to this country and the truth will be heard.

Physicists, chemists, architects, & engineers. Not nutty conspiracy theorists. What kills me is the official 9-11 report says there was no evidence of explosions/chemical accelerants but it also says they did no testing to determine whether or not they were present. Of course there is no evidence if you don't actually look for it!? More than one of the chemists put it plainly saying that the official explanation is absolutely chemically impossible as the temperature required to melt steal is much higher than the temperature at which jet fuel burns. This makes me feel ill. And immediately brought to mind a line from V for Vendetta, Finch (the detective), says to his co-worker if our own government was responsible for the deaths of almost a hundred thousand people... Would you really want to know? I can answer that now, no, I don't want to know- but I can't un-know the extensive scientific evidence detailed in this video (Experts Speak Out). And to quote another movie I love, Network: I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! this is a sickening blatant truth. Those buildings came down as a result of controlled demolition. I didn't think it was possible, but sadly, it's true. After watching this I did a bunch of research, checked the sources mentioned, looked into thermite, and the chemistry involved. And I feel like I'm going to be sick. But I cannot be quiet.

Currently early 40's, male, employed by Affordable Housing Development Company overseeing construction projects.
Initially, I was very skeptical of the collapse of Building 7 because it fell identically the same as an organized demolition. I then convinced myself that the entire attack, for it to be an 'inside job' seemed too far-fetched to believe. After more recent and deeper review of evidence and what is actually and factually known... I am unable to believe the official story. When the truth presents itself... it becomes clear.

Scientific evidence casts big questions on the official version of 9/11 buildings destruction.

I have a degree in psychology and special education from San Francisco State University. I have worked in education for nearly 30 years. I specialize in child development and human behavior and regularly act as an educational and behavioral consultant.
The idea that our government could be involved in the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 was beyond belief when it happened. Since then, all evidence has led to a government conspiracy and cover up being obvious. The resulting wars across the world and erosion of liberty in the U.S. are equally destructive crimes.
