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 official study of the cause of the WTC destruction is clearly inadequate, as it is doubtful that aircraft could cause the towers to free fall into their own footprint without controlled demolition. Also, Building 7 was clearly too far away from the twin towers to have been destroyed by the collapse of the towers. Cell phone calls from passengers lacked air cabin background noise, suggesting that the aircraft landed elsewhere and the calls were made from the ground, not to mention that cell calls from moving high-altitude aircraft is highly problematic. Finally, the fact that all debris was hurriedly and illegally removed before a thorough forensic study is highly suspicious, pointing to an 'inside job'.

Controlled demolition is the only scientifically plausible explanation of the collapses of the three buildings. Recall that in 1945 a 10-ton U.S. B-25 bomber hit the 79th floor of the much older Empire State Building. The building remained and remains fully intact though 3 crew members and 11 office workkers died. The 9-11 investigations were scientifically shoddy and much important evidence was prematurely disposed of. A fresh and unbiased investigation is urgently required of this, our new Pearl Harbor.

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.

After watching the Architects & Engineers 9/11 truth videos I am convinced that these buildings did not collapse due to the planes flying into them. I strongly believe that there should be a new investigation. I strongly distrust the main stream media and the Powers That Be that promote the official story on this horrendous event. I do not have a degree; however, I do have a functioning brain.

I am fully convinced, having studied the matter for 2-3 years now through evidence presented by AE911 and other parties, that the building collapses were engineered as a part of a long-term false flag operation related to taking over by military force critical areas in the Middle East related to the global control of natural resources. This obviously is a shared motive for business alliances related to the US military-industrial complex and best seen as a part of the long-term historical aims of those forces.

I am very concerned about the official story about the collapse of the towers in New York. The reasons are many. One reason in particular is that a similar sky rise in Caracas, Venezuela caught on fire. The fire could not be contained and therefore the fire department had to let it die on its own. The building burned for 18 hours straight with an intense flame. After the fire, the steel structure remained standing. I was shocked to see that the Twin towers in NY collapsed and pulverized so quickly after the planes hit them. About building 7, why did it fall? No plane hit it. They said they had to pull it. How long does it take a crew of demolition experts to prepare a building to implode it? As far as I understand it takes about a month to 6 weeks to prepare a building that size to be pulled down.

America has always had a strong justice system. As history shows The United States will get to the bottom of 911. My thoughts are that this will get solved but it won't happen overnight. This could also go all the way up to the White House and the CIA. The perpetrators would be feeling extremely nervous right now. Especially now that so many Scientists and independent engineers have 100% real proof. I know one thing though, once this case goes to trial, a lot of high profile figures will be exposed If 911 happened 50 Years ago the media control would have worked, but not with today's technology. Perpetrators of 911 will be caught and will be trialled.

Professionally, I'm a web developer with experience in PHP/MySQL, FileMaker and various other web technologies.
As someone who has always been fascinated by physics, I could not believe from that fateful day to today, that not one but three steel buildings fell from seemingly negligible, albeit, horrible looking, damage. When reports came out that there was little remaining of the buildings with the exception of steel, I was shocked. I expected that large chunks of the building would have remained intact in the rubble pile. And, when the official report came out that fires were responsible, I was flabbergasted. If this is true, I thought, wouldn't the thousands of other steel structures around the world be in jeopardy as well? The way that the three buildings were summarily destroyed has never sat well with me.

Doubting the official story is easy. What is especially troubling is that collapse generally implies a dropping down and, notably, without a clear exploding outward in all directions. The word collapse should not be the primary term to describe the demolition of the two towers.

I had doubts about the official version of the cause of the collapse when I first saw the tapes. They looked very much like video images I had seen of buildings being demolished. However, not being an engineer I wasn't sure and was yet unaware of Building 7. I went on to meet folks who knew considerably more than I did and was completed convinced all buildings had been brought down by controlled demolitions when an engineer friend explained the science of the known facts. Blueprint for Truth only convinced me further.

About 4 years ago I learned about building 7 that came down at 5:20. I instinctively new at that moment it was fraud. The other red flag I've always tried point out to people is that we are to believe that known terrorist groups who have a long long history of using bombs as a weapon of choice suddenly 1 day out of decades of using bombs they manage to get a hold some airplanes fly them into our building and then go back to using bombs. That to me does not make sense.

There is compelling scientific evidence that WTC 1 and 2, as well as Building 7, fell as a result of controlled demolition. Considering the heat, the block, pulverized material test results, velocity and acceleration of individual reference points as well as actual video footage and its resultant comparison with videos of other controlled demolitions - how can this be ignored? How can a study stop with initiation of impact? An independent study is clearly warranted.

g, the standard value of Earth's gravitational acceleration at sea level (9.81 m/s2) is a well known constant. Because any student can time the free fall and see that the roof of all 3, especially building 7, falls at near free fall speed, the most logical conclusion is there was zero resistance. That combined with a neat fall into its own footprint leads to one conclusion: a controlled demolition.

To anybody who read George Orwell's 1984, our post 9/11 world must seem a familiar place. We now have the Ministry of Truth, NIST, rewriting history and telling us 2+2 equals 5. It is this perversion of simple science by NIST that makes me very suspicious, especially their refusal to share data models, which makes no sense other than to support a cover-up. As a programmer, I know how software can be buggy, and how tiny input problems can lead to garbage-in / garbage out. However, even though it seems that with the towers came down our freedom to question authority and openly discuss the events of 911, the fact that it left behind many smoking/loaded guns and a growing army of courageous people speaking out for what's right gives me hope.

Looking at the heat data from NASA, it's clear that molten Steel existed after the collapse. In my opinion, the building was demolished. I'd like to see an official explanation for this based on solid research, not some vague explanation, as if this is not important. I will be very interested in seeing the full building model from Alaska results. The NIST partial model was not based in reality. That is disturbing.

These collapses can have no other explanation than a premeditated deliberate destruction. The implications are dire for the official account and for our democratic society. The WTC7 collapse simply cannot be conjured away by NIST's embarrassing public statements, and that leaves us with the breathtaking conclusion that something similar took place at the buildings actually hit by airplanes. I would prefer not to believe this evidence, it hurts my heart, but the facts are the facts.

The official version just doesn't add up. As for the twin towers, the straight-down nature of their collapse suggests careful planning and intent. The fact that the columns were of different sizes to support different loads would have caused their initial failure to occur at different rates, thus causing the portion of the structures above the primary damage to fall with some lateral movement. The straight down failure of Building #7 is even more problematic given that external inducement of the damage was asymmetric to the structure.

I watched the entire TV coverage of the planes hitting the twin towers and their subsequent collapse. I was home sick that day watching a show on TV when it was interrupted for news and pictures of the trade center events unfolding. Upon witnessing the collapse, I knew immediately that it was a controlled demolition because I worked for years for nuclear and earthquake PHD engineers and watched several demolitions of large buildings, including the destruction of the old domed stadium in downtown Seattle. There is no way the twin towers in NY came down in under 10 seconds completely into the building's footprints because of fire. In fact, it is still true today that no steel-framed building has ever been caused to collapse because of fire. On top of that, the charges going off at the corners of the building were noticeable, particularly for someone who knows what they are seeing. I do not make any presumptions about who was responsible for any of this or how the building was prepared for the demolition. It is just obvious to me that a demolition is what happened. Therefore I do not believe the government's explanation for the collapse of the building. Because I do not believe the government on this issue, it makes their explanations of anything else suspect. That is very bad for the American people and is one of the major reasons that an investigative inquiry is vital for the American people and for our democracy to be able to move forward.
