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.

We have all seen scores of films of buildings being demolished by experts who have spent years developing how to do this. It doesn't take a degree in engineering to know what this looks like and how it would be different than any other event. There is a clear particular signature to a demolition. If there is something about the nature of the design and construction of these three buildings that would allow them to perform the magic trick, of the appearance of being a building demolition, than this would clearly be of prime importance to the world architectural community to figure out how this slight of hand actually occurred. Clearly, this has yet to be done.

I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the 3 World Trade Buildings collapsed due to forces beyond the burning of jet fuel and typical building contents. We do not design undamaged buildings to free fall as in the World Trade Buildings on 9/11. There needs to be a truthful and apolitical investigation into the mechanism in the collapse of these buildings.

I received my BS in Architectural Engineering from Kansas State University in 1978. I worked initially for SSOE in Flint, MI before relocating to Burkett & Wong Engineers in San Diego in 1984. I have been a Principal with this firm for ten years and I now head the structural dept. I have worked with almost all structural materials and building types over the years, excluding high rise construction.
The 9/11 damage at the Pentagon initially piqued my skepticism. Reading accounts of what happened there led me to read accounts of what occurred in NYC at the twin towers and then building 7. My opinion is that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. By whom? I don't know. Why? I don't know, but following the money probably will provide the best explanation.

Edinburgh, Midlothian
I have 10 years of experience in the construction industry as an architect, mostly in conservation (as well as sustainable architecture). Conservation necessitates looking at old buildings and existing evidence of what happened in the buildings life. Looking at how buildings deteriorate or fail sometimes and assess method of rescue, reuse, adaptation and so on, is part of my everyday livelihood and experience.
Looking at the evidence of the 9/11 it makes me question what the media and government had broadcasted at the time, and that the debris was swept away so quickly without scientific investigation is not right. We need to learn from the experience, not run away from it. If we are to protect people's lives in the future, we need to know what the real destruction process was, how any aspect could be improved (whether it is building design/layout, engineering or security... ) and not let the distraction of the crashing planes play smoke and mirrors with us. Facts, for better understanding. Truth, for building a better future.

Questions and concerns immediately following destruction of Twin Towers, particularly after hearing details and seeing images later that same evening. My education led me to believe that most and certainly these particular buildings would withstand airplane impacts and fires. WTC 7 collapse and my familiarity with Meridian Tower in Philadelphia and several witnessed controlled demolitions while in Philadelphia convince me of controlled demolitions of the three WTC buildings on September 11th. Implications of this are extremely disquieting for myself as a citizen of this country and of enormous concern for notion of integrity in process of building design, planning, construction as well as quasi public process of zoning, funding facilitation large scale urban and or public projects.

I'm not an Architect or Engineer, but i have eyes and common sense and know that jet fuel and plane damage can't cause entire steel-framed concrete buildings to disintegrate into rapidly inflating dust clouds- but explosives can. WTC 7, the 3rd building to collapse on 9/11, is an obvious controlled demolition.

On a separate vein about 9/11, I felt it was particularly compelling to see that the hole in the Pentagon where a Commercial Jet was supposed to have hit had only a 16 foot-wide diameter, yet the plane they said made the hole was 42 ft. high, with a wing span exceeding 100 feet! The object also went through several walls supposedly of 15+ foot concrete with steel reinforcement! With little common sense it took me all of 30 seconds to deduce that a Cruise Missile is the ONLY thing that could have caused that damage in that way on Earth! And only two countries which I know of manufacture Cruise Missiles. The U.S. is number 1 in that field!

I run the websites http://agenda911.dk and http://udenforboksen.dk, and I host http://911truth.dk. I have appeared with a 9/11 Truth article in a major Danish newspaper 'Nyhedsavisen' http://agenda911.dk/article.php?story=20071025204213472 In the danish 9/11 Truth movement we are running websites, and TV-shows, and 9/11 Truth movie-screenings, distributing 9/11 Truth movies and info to politicians and other key persons, and arranging lectures with key 9/11 Truthers such as DRG. Currently our most prominent asset is the danish Chemical professor Niels Harrit, who is attracting some public attention.
In a future when 9/11 Truth has been acknowledged, everybody will look at the obvious explosions of the twin towers and say to themselves: How could we ever deny what our own eyes so obviously tell us, that these buildings are being exploded. WTC 7 is also an obvious, albeit more classical, demolition.

The free-fall collapses of the WTC towers proves that they were brought down in controlled demolitions. The concurrent hijackings and failure of air defenses are themselves rare events and it is very unlikely that they occurred on the same day as a matter of coincidence. This implies that they occurred as a part of a coordinated plan. It is also very likely that only domestic agents would have had the necessary access, authority and control to plan and execute such attacks.

All 3 World Trade buildings fell into their own footprint at nearly free-fall speed. To think that these were caused by the impacts of the 2 airliners (WTC 3 had no impact) is to ignore the laws of physics.

How did 20% of the tower crush to dust 80% of the tower when 50% of the 80% is 60% stronger than the 20%. When Popular mechanics tried to explain the Pentagon crash my chin practically hit the floor. I was astounded that anybody could believe such nonsense. That's when my hunt for the truth began. Regarding the Trade towers another observation my mind questioned was. Two completely different crashes. 1 high, 1 low, 2 different angles of impact yet both collapsed exactly the same way. Another observation was, doesn't it make sense that if the part of the building that did the crushing (piledriver as the officials contend), for every floor it destroyed wouldn't it destroy an equal part of itself? That being said, how did it make it all the way to the ground?

I initially did not question the events surrounding September 11th. But after being introduced to many of the documentaries and books out there concerning the events of that day, I began to see many of the shortcomings of the official conspiracy theory. Hopefully through the work of the many architects, engineers and scientists that have done research into 9/11, we may one day have the truth brought out.

Following much of the evidence (visual and research) I find it improbable they collapsed in the way issued by the 9-11 commission report. I also find it highly dubious there were so many drills going on the same day, which confused many of the live operators. I also find the omissions from the 9-11 report very unacceptable. We spent money on this investigation and it was whitewashed to the highest degree. 9-11 is always brought to mention as the event that changed everything as such we should have taken a serious hand in the investigation.

Regarding WTC1 and WTC2, if it really were possible (and so easy) to bring a steel-framed high rise building down, into a localized footprint, rapidly in just seconds, completely and symmetrically, then why do we need to pay demolition companies for such a service? Wouldn't it be simpler to find an old plane and fly it into an upper floor of the building and be done with it? Or, in the case of WTC7, if we only have to start small fires on a few floors and hit the facade with some dust clouds to force all internal and perimter support columns to fail simultaneously, should we not be writing papers about this amazing method of building demolition?

My belief is that the world trade center towers (especially building 7) could not have collapsed symmetrically in near free fall time due to the damage they received plus fires. I also believe that the pools of molten metal are impossible to explain through gravity driven collapse. This alone should be enough to call for a new investigation without having to answer any extraneous questions about how it could have been pulled off.

In my opinion the American Government has pulled off the biggest lie in modern times. I had my doubts the day it happened. My sister was in NYC and took a picture of the towers from the sidewalk just a few weeks before they were demolished. It's very spooky to see those photographs now.

Hi, I'm 26 year old who works in the area of it fixing computers and providing support for the local police authority here in the UK. I have followed 9/11 for 4 years now, ever since I started to hear stories about inconsistencies before during and post 9/11, I have herd both sides of the stories, not just the alleged conspiracies but the debunkers and I have even read the official story, I believe the official story is to be the conspiracy. Sadly, the only truth about 9/11 is that none of us know the exact events leading up to and on that very sad day.
Although overwhelming evidence consists all 3 WTC centre building were brought down by explosives, WTC 7 is the building I think that we can prove beyond reasonable doubt that explosives were used to destroy this building and once people can see WTC 7 was pulled, then they can start asking questions about the North and South Tower,the Pentagon and Flight 93, I believe WTC 7 is the single evidential tool to convince people 9/11 was a inside job, it's a matter of educating and making people aware, every time I meet some body new I often bring 9/11 up in conversation, I always ask the question how many building fell on 9/11, out of 50 or more people I have only met 1 person that said 3 instead of 2, people are not aware of what happened on 9/11, I think it's time we all learned the truth.

I am a graphic designer who recently received my degree from Ivy Tech Community College in Visual Communications. One important class to take in graphic arts is physics as the key to make realistic animations is to have an understanding of physics. Due to this, I understand physics and have questioned the official story since 2003.
The falling floors should be slowed down by the floors below, not go faster. Also, the stronger mechanical floors should have had an impact on collapse speed but there appears to be none whatsoever. These floors, unlike the other floors, are held up by large steel I beams seen in many construction photos and referenced in a short description on the construction of these floors.

I studied a follow-up course of 2 years after my high school where I took biology, chemistry, math and physics. Later I did a Bachelor of Information Technology.
September 11 2001, 3 steel structure building fell in exactly the same manner. 1 of these buildings weren't hit by any planes. WTC7 was built more than 10 years later than WTC1 and WTC2, and should logically have been built with different building codes compared to the 2 towers. One would assume the fire-proofing would have been better in WTC7 than the 2 towers. Still this relatively new building collapsed while older buildings with a closer proximity to the 2 towers still stood and had to be manually demolished by work crews during clean-up.

Troubling questions remain unanswered regarding observations that would indicate controlled demolition of the WTC buildings.

When they said they had found the paper passport of one of the alleged hijackers on 9/11 they lost me. It was false. And when they said cell phones were used to make calls from the aircraft, I became convinced of falsehoods in the story. I had worked on early cell-phone software and know the stories of cell phone calls high over Pennsylvania and elsewhere did not happen because it is technically impossible at those locations at that time in the development of the technology.

I don't have any background in architecture or structural engineering. My Bachelors and recently acquired Masters degree in Technology Management have given me critical thinking skills to question the plausibility of the official story.
The official story has so many claims that are completely impossible when faced with any logical thinking or scientific scrutiny. It is offensive that they would try to sell these theories to a thinking public. The inability to access the evidence at the site and the manner in which the evidence was quickly and thoroughly disposed of is a huge red flag that someone was very afraid of what would be discovered. The reluctance with which any meaningful examination was done of the crime are truly offensive to anyone who lost a loved one in the tragedy. This is truly the most important calling of our time to get to the bottom of this causes for this event and to prosecute those responsible.

I just saw a DVD of this lecture, and I agree that we need to re-open the investigation by independent experts and find the truth behind the events of 911. I believe that if you support our flag you will question this.
