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.

As the evidence accumulates that is inconsistent with the official version of what happened on 9/11, I find I can no longer believe it. In particular there is incontrovertible video evidence that the news media was fed information that Building 7, which was not hit, had fallen and this was being reported while Building 7 continued to stand in the background behind the reporter reporting that it had fallen, which it then proceeded to do a few minutes later. The absence of any information related to 9/11 in the FBI's wanted poster for Osama Bin Laden, reportedly due to lack of evidence, the building owner's reported acquisition of greater insurance coverage a few weeks before the attacks, the absence of plane debris at the Pentagon and Pennsylvania sites, and the physical facts about the melting point of steel and the heat generated by airplane fuel, all added together continue to contribute to my skepticism about the 9/11 official version.

I was on the phone with the director of Worldcom who was in the 2nd tower on 9-11-2001. He told me our government did this and there were explosions going off. He was too far up in the tower to have ever made it down and after he noticed the elevators were not working and the power was out, he remained in his office. They did it to control world trade and push to their agenda which has been a 60 year plan.

"On 9/11, I was watching the events at work with another electrical engineer. When the south tower collapsed, I turned to him and said, ""It is not possible for a building to collapse like that from fire. The building looks like a demolition."" His response was, ""It must be possible because it just happened."" Since then, I wish I had added, ""The buildings came down through the path of highest resistance but fell at near free-fall speeds. That is not possible unless the resistance of lower floors was removed. That is the definition of a demolition"". I have no idea who is behind these demolitions or their full motives, but I am convinced that these three steel structures were intentionally demolished on 9/11/2001. Nothing else makes sense."

Those sure look like controlled demolitions. Why do other steel skyscrapers burn for hours without collapsing, but all three of these happened to collapse like identical controlled demolitions even though one had not been hit by a plane and two allegedly had? How were the alleged hijackers identified just hours after the Towers fell? The official story is that they were identified from their DNA collected at the site. How could anyone collect their DNA soon after the Towers turned into pulverized dust and molten pools of steel? What base DNA samples would those have been verified against? Someone in Saudi Arabia happened to have DNA samples for all the hijackers on hand and willingly provided it to the US soon after the Towers fell?

I became suspicious about 9-11 about 4 years ago after hearing Michael Savage make an idiotic sounding explanation for Able Danger I began my own research and quickly ran across WTC-7 video. As a commercial pilot, I had always wondered how inexperienced hijackers could make such nice approaches into those buildings at 400 knots in such large aircraft. But I just blew it off.

Watching the rapid and symmetrical collpase of the building to its own footprint contradicts the official story. The sound of explosion at ground level shortly prior to collapse suggests controlled demolition.

The collapse of WTC #7 after suffering very little impact from the initial plane crashes is the lowest hanging fruit to disprove the official story of what happened. Start with this smoking gun, figure out what really happened to this building and the rest will unravel in short order.

It makes no sense that steel structures would collapse symmetrically into their own footprint at free fall speeds due to an airplane hit. In the case of Building 7, there is no apparent cause for collapse. Controlled demolition using thermite appears to be a much more likely explanation for the collapse of the WTC buildings.

Ever since we witnessed this terrible tragedy questions have been asked that, until now, had gone unanswered; questions such as 'how is it possible that a terrorist organization could have carried out such an attack against the most powerful and highly sophisticated country in the world without the help of an equally powerful and sophisticated organization?' and 'how is it possible that the Twin Towers and surrounding buildings collapsed the way they did out of a two plane strike?' Having witness many building collapses due to fire, earthquakes, bombings and controlled demolitions throughout our professional carriers we know these were staged controlled demolitions and now it has been proved. - - We have been slow to react mainly out of shock and disbelieve that we may be the victims of an internal attack from a home grown terrorist organization that believe themselves to the be the owners of the world. This has got to stop! It is up to us to stop it! If it can be done it is through our democratic process. We owe it to the future generations.

I concur with the Chief Editor of Fire Protection Engineering, who cited the 9/11 Report as a half-baked farce. The report is worse than a farce; it is criminal in its negligence to investigate the truth. Steel buildings do NOT fail in the manners we witnessed, except for those demolished by controlled demolition.Until this matter is properly investigated, the truth revealed, and the perpetrators punished, America will NOT be a free country.

It was and is preposterous for me to accept that the WTC towers fell to the ground in 10 seconds because of fires stared by airplane hits. There is an answer somewhere. I trust this organization (AE911-Truth) to find it or help find it. Finding that answer is vital to our country.

If one knows anything about structural engineering and has seen a number of controlled demolition videos, including charge placement, it is just plain obvious that WTC 7 is a controlled demolition. If a small lobby fire can bring down a steel frame structure so easily, no buildings are safe. But history tells us otherwise. That steel frame structured do not collapse because of fire. So the WTC collapses are either 1) controlled demolition or 2) 3 miracles (never to be repeated).

It is inconceivable that the World Trade Center buildings collapsed as they did because of fires as the public has been led to believe. This is not just an opinion, but a very well educated guess.

The only steel framed skyscrapers to have ever collapsed as a result of a fire were WTC 1, 2, and 7. These buildings were built to withstand the impact of a fully loaded Boeing 707, an aircraft about the same size and weight as the aircraft that hit them on 9/11. Temperatures produced by the fires simply did not reach those required to have a significant impact on the building's structural integrity. Firemen 2 floors beneath the impact area in one building radioed out that the fire was controllable. Obviously he was not confronting a temperature of 2000 degrees only two stories above him. Pictures showed survivors of the impact standing in the hole made by the aircraft. These people wouldn't have been there under the kind of conditions assumed by the official story. Fireman recalled hearing a series of secondary explosions exactly like those that would have been used to cause a controlled demolition and that the collapses looked exactly like that's what happened. WTC 7 was hit by nothing and yet collapsed in the same way as the towers. Molten metal containing sulfur, indicating thermate, remained underneath all three buildings for weeks after 9/11. The structural steel debris was carted away as soon as possible without inspection. Taking pictures of ground zero or even stopping to look at it was made a criminal offense. The impact of the aircraft and the resulting fires could not possibly have caused the twin towers to collapse and saying that the collapse of WTC 7 was due to the impacts is simply absurd.Another thing we were lied to about was the cell phone calls. Cell phone calls at altitude were physically impossible.

For a while now, I've felt there was much more to the 9/11 story than what we've been told since the event. Watching the evidence from the video confirmed my suspicions. I feel that the folks who've put the video together have done a great job of shining a light of truth on the situation. In my opinion, this will usher in and strengthen the wave of conscious attention necessary to reveal the truth about what happened. I think the truth will hurt, but it will be monumentally important to the evolution of humanity.

On 9/11, I watched the towers collapse along with the rest of the world. At the time I could not believe that they collapsed by the mechanism as explained in the media. I was convinced, albeit without proof, that there had to be additional explosive media present to create such damage. As the proof of a governmental conspiracy has surfaced over the years I have become an advocate for 9/11 truth, speaking to anyone who will listen.

I read the 911 Commission Report to confirm what I had heard: that this report did not even mention the collapse of World Trade Center Tower #7. This is true. To me, this report seems very superficial. I question the official version for the reasons of the collapse of the 3 towers because of their symmetrical collapse from non-symmetrical damage and that tower 7 collapsed at all. Tower 7 was not impacted by a plane, had non-symmetrical fires burning, and collapsed some 7 hours later.

I am outraged that NIST has actively ignored first hand witness testimony verifying the existence of liquid iron at WTC. The NIST numerical model of the WTC7 collapse illustrates that their explanation of the cause of collapse does not match what actually happened. Symmetric vertical acceleration is not possible without uniform and simultaneous severing of all support columns.

The brilliant Part III of David Chandler's NIST Finally Admits Free Fall is all one needs to understand that explosives caused the WTC collapses. The evidence for controlled demolition is overwhelming, of course, but it is the weak official explanations and non-sensical debunker counter-arguments that truly seal the deal for me. The NIST admission video is therefore qualitatively superior to all other videos that voice only the 9/11 truth movement side. In admitting free-fall NIST admits that their fire-based collapse hypothesis is wrong and that their report is a scientific fraud. Previous demonstrated shortcomings of their investigation arguably amounted to simple negligence. Not investigating reports of thermite, molten metal, and collapse preknowledge stand out here. But in admitting free-fall NIST has conjured up a contradiction within their conclusions that cannot be argued away. All that remains now is to get a critical mass of people to view the free-fall videos, as well as the others. Our strongest influence is among our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Make it a practice to educate at least one new person per week from these groups. Do this in parallel with working your politicians and news media and we will eventually get a real investigation.

It is impossible for steel frame structures to fall due to fire if the fuel for the fire does not elevate temperatures in the building to high enough temperatures to melt steel. Buildings do not fall in discrete piles in unplanned catastrophic failures.

I've been an engineer in the automotive industry for over 18 yrs. I went to school at Lawrence Technological University and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering Technology in 1995.
Never in history has a metal building structure ever collapsed due to a fire. WTC 7 never even got hit by an airplane and it also fell on it's own footprint. Thermite was found everywhere at the site. All cement was pulverized indicating high explosives where used. Explosive blasts could be seen in slow motion as before the floor collapse. Steel could be seen melting before the collapse and was still molten for 2 wks after the collapse. Steel melts at approx. 2800 deg F. and jet fuel burns at 1800 deg. F. The jet fuel did not melt the steel period! Btw, kerosene heaters burn at 1800 deg F. so why doesn't the metal housing melt? A terrorist passport was found at the WT 1&2 scene in good condition while the smallest part found was a keypad from a telephone. Give me a break!
