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.

Completed my engineering degree in 1994 after which I worked in aerospace and military wargame simulations, geographic information systems, and asset management. Switched to software engineering in utilities, financial services, and advanced predictive modelling since 2000. Have had 9 startups ranging from healthcare to consulting and have just been though an acquisition by a VC.
It is my extremely strong opinion after spending many hours in researching many aspects of 9/11, that the evidence stacks up overwhelmingly that the American people have been deceived and lied to, and that the skyscrapers were destroyed with advanced pyrotechnics and set the stage for unprecedented violation of people's trust, rights and integrity, not to mention the murder and many innocent lives lost during and after 9/11 all across the globe, both directly and indirectly. May justice be served in this life already and I implore the US citizens to demand a national investigation to these matters and prosecute all that took part in this heinous act.

I watched everything that happened, including the bringing down of World Trade Center 7. This matter could be settled by simply reshowing that event as it happened with either of news anchors Peter Jennings, Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw. They reported beginning around 2:00 PM that the building was unstable and in danger of collapsing. They then reported that a decision might have to be made as to whether the building would have to be brought down for reasons of safety. Finally, at 5:00 PM, they announced the decision to bring the building had been made and twenty minutes later the cameras focused on the building as it was brought down uneventfully and without any surprise. Just show the old video tapes beginning at 2:00 PM and watch the event as it unfolded!

Collapse seems too rapid and symmetrical to be from airplane impact alone. A thorough investigation concentrating on the possibility of deliberate demolition should be conducted.

I have been researching 911 albeit alone, for the past several years, and although there are many dubious items of interest surrounding the collapse, there can be none as compelling as the footage of molten metal that spills from some of the windows of the South Tower. This item alone and its physical nature, coupled with the pool of molten metal in the basement makes the whole case for a controlled demolition by use of Termite cutters, pretty solid proof.

I have followed the 911 collapses since they occurred. Reading all the books, hearing lectures, indie film Loose Change and I am convinced that this was an inside job. The politics of the time dictated that fear was necessary to mobilize military forces against Iraq..as in the case of the book, Second Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin, history has repeated itself. This is a horrific and tragic reality that will cripple the US, its citizens, and be cause to restructure our existing government. The truth will set us free

For the WTC buildings, I agree that the possible bowing of structural columns in any of the three buildings, weakening the building structure, was not sufficient to cause the buildings to collapse in the exact manner, and at such high speed, as a controlled demolition. The snapping of the columns at various strategic spots by high-tech thermitic explosions, seems most likely.

A computing graduate, I'm out of the currents now sufficiently to gain more of an unslanted appraisal of what goes on in the world than I would have done. Ultimately, the answer lies inside all of us to be beyond the gravities of the world. But the time to be indifferent is not where the mass murder of millions is built on lies. After a complete study of the facts around 9/11, I am certain a grave injustice has been done to the world. There is a big gap between the politically biased story, and the factual story from the scientific approach. The lies need straightening out. The sooner that happens, the sooner we are to a fairer, more peaceful world.
You have to listen to the real experts! Get a real overview of the facts then make your own mind up. It's common sense. And when you have done all this, there is only one conclusion beyond any doubt. Everyone has been duped!

The collapse of the Buildings in close to free-fall speed means the lower structures that would have provided resistance of the falling upper floors were no longer there. The pancake theory is very questionable as the explanation of the collapse; this theory would have made the speed of fall to slow down when the upper floors hit the lower floors.

It is very obvious that all 3 World Trade Center buildings were pulled down by explosive materials and that it was a man made building demolition. If you look into any of the history and science regarding this subjects it is very clear. The fact that NIST put out a report that is a fraud is grounds for punishment by a court of law with scientists and historians as the jury. I am very concerned by the terrorist acts that the United States Government has supported, and been directly responsible for. I am very concerned that members of the United States Government, as well as the private sectors of the United States Government, have been doing everything in their power to remove, destroy and hide all of the evidence regarding the events in New York on 9/11/01. Some of the evidence includes documentation, wreckage, American people, video, audio, Osama Bin Laden and more. It is a crime to get rid of the evidence connected to the crimes committed before, on and after 9/11. Please conduct a true forensic investigation on any materials that are still available from the 9/11 attack sites for testing.

I have seen questionable events in the footage and through news reports. I am outraged. I was still in high school when the attacks happened, and through the years I have seen things that make me question the conclusion drawn. It seems to me that Building 7 did not fall by accident. Also, I am uncertain of how the Towers fell into their own footprint, and also how they effected the collapse of Tower 7.

Free-fall acceleration is -9.8m/sec^2. The only way there could've been free fall with buildings 1, 2 and 7, is if the buildings were intentionally demolished. They fell within free-fall times, so it is conclusive that the WTC towers were demolished intentionally.

I am a technical person, although I do not have skills in the engineering of metal structures, I am not stupid. The investigation by NIST was remiss on many levels; not looking for evidence because they did not think it was there....Please. In mathematics this is assuming what you are trying to prove... makes it pretty easy. Further, the 9/11 Commission publicly stated that there was no reason to follow the money .... well only if you do not want the TRUTH!
I feel for the those that lost loved ones and demand that an independent investigation is commissioned and given unfettered access to, but not limited to, government documents regarding the money trail and any correspondence from government employees involved in the investigation.

Dr. Steven Jones, and other independent scientists, have discovered irrefutable evidence from multiple samples of the presence of an advanced military grade substance specifically designed to cut through steel at both Ground Zero and Building Seven. Rivers of molten steel and extreme temperatures indicative of the presence of this introduced substance fueled fires for months after the incident. Experts in the field of demolition and NIST itself confirmed that Building 7 reached free fall speeds as it collapsed. A controlled demolition is the only explanation. Finally, Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik who is a former deputy assistant secretary of state under Henry Kissinger and intelligence community insider has stated that he is willing to testify to a grand jury that a top general admitted to him that 9/11 was a false flag operation designed to advance a political agenda. Please support a new impartial investigation into the events of that day.

Both sides have valid points, and both sides have points that do not make sense. Still, I feel there is something we are not being told by the US Government.
Today an independent researcher from Norway says he can explain why the Twin Towers fell. He says the aluminum of the plane melted to liquid, mixed with water and caused explosions. How about the thermite dust found at Ground Zero? The stuff should not be there, military grade explosive. Why did Building 7 go down??? There was never any aluminum in that building. No plane hit Building 7. Never have had an explanation of that. Lack of wreckage at Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.

If building 7 fell as easy as we are told, then we need to change our building code. We need a more through investigation of building 7 to prevent the collapse of other buildings. This holds true whether the cause was fire or explosives.

For me the interest in 9/11 started when I read both the Fema and Nist reports. I found them to be in my opinion conflictive to Scientific fact as well as contradictive to the available evidence. I had always thought that the buildings collapses were due to more than 2 planes and falling debris and expected the report to reflect this - which of course it most certainly did not. For me this was a farce and a great dishonour to science and engineering. These disciplines are my life and my love and I want to know why such lies are allowed to be perpeturated.

I have read extensively on the destruction of the buildings at the World Trade Center and the sequence of events that occurred on 9/11. There are many, many problems with the official version of what happened on that day. A great source of material in this regard is the excellent book 9/11 Contradictions, An Open Letter to Congress and the Press by David Ray Griffin. For the preservation of our democracy, the evidence from the destruction of all the buildings must be followed wherever it may lead.

I am by no means an architect or engineer, but my rudimentary understanding of physics tells me that the official story as to why the Towers collapsed does not seem to me to mesh with reality.

I cannot believe that series of random events ( fires ) can result in a controlled outcome ( total building collapse at near free-fall buildings own footprint ) , not once but 3 times in one day. NISTS refusal to release the WTC 7 data on which they based their analysis on the pretext that to do so would compromise public safety is unconscionable and grotesque. Good Luck

Have been in complete disbelief since the original incidents occurred on 9/11 2001. I have found far more proof that the events were staged False Flag Terrorism drills, than I have that it was actually a Terrorist Act.
Clearly, all three buildings were taken down with the use of high explosives, possibly Thermate, and done in the manner of professional controlled demolition.

I am a concerned citizen who feels the truth behind the events of 9/11 have been obfuscated from the American people. I do not have formal training as an architect or engineer, but I do understand enough about the laws of physics that I have questioned the nature of the destruction of all 3 towers from day one.
From the first time I saw the towers free-falling on live TV, I have been questioning how these buildings could have imploded at freefall speed within their own footprint. Given the laws of physics, the buildings should have toppled over to the side due to the nature of the asymmetrical hits to both buildings. And given the temperatures that are required to weaken steel structures enough to collapse, the buildings should have withstood the burning of jet fuel. Even if the steel at the top had been weakened enough to collapse, we should have only seen a partial collapse of the tops of the buildings, perhaps collapsing a few floors together or having part of one side topple over outside the building footprint. Seeing the steel beams amongst the wreckage that show shear cuts at a 45 degree angle are indicative of charges placed on steel beams in controlled demolitions. There are just too many questions left unanswered by the first investigation. The American people, especially those whose lives were lost that day or thereafter as a result of the ensuing wars, deserve to know the truth.

I worked in the Video Game Industry for 4 years until I started free lancing for various companies. Today I am still doing free lance work as a graphic designer/3D Artist. I create logos, letterheads, web sites, music videos and graphics ....................................................................................................................
It does seem to me through common sense and being present at a few big building demolitions such as casinos in Nevada and the King Dome in Seattle. When a big structure comes down it is an amazing sight and one you soon do not forget. When I first was able to see the WTC footage it did have a very similar look to what I have seen through my experiences of a controlled demolition. Yes I know I'm no where an expert on demolition. But being a 3D Artist I have to be very well educated and understand building design and structure. I have to make objects in 3D look and feel as though they are from the real world. I have also taken many classes in college on architecture and hard surface design. Also I know I have never seen a non controlled demolition. I just would like to know the truth about all of this and if the truth is being told to the people why does it seem that we the people are not getting the full truth when asking about this subject. If we as Americans are asked to come together at times like this and help others why are we not told the entire truth about what we are suppose to be helping with. I'm just saying. In other words I'm just being smart and asking questions on a subject before I can decide for myself on what really happened on that unfortunate and terrible day.
