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.

Though attacked at substantially different elevations, both towers' collapse mode and debris footprint were almost identical to each other. Statistically this defies belief except in the case of a professionally engineered demolition. The collapse of Building 7 defies any belief at all, and should never have happened at all without outside interference. There is no point in listing the many other technical reasons that cause me to sign this petition, since the internet is full of reports on valid inconsistencies or omissions in the 9-11 commission report.

It appears highly unlikely that fires and airplane impacts were the singular cause for the buildings collapse.

I have seen buildings demolished in a controlled manner. The twin towers and building seven all collapsed in an identical fashion to a controlled fall. I do not believe structural damage from impact or subsequent fire could have brought those buildings down. Someone had to have access to the buildings beforehand to plant some type of explosive devise. The military grade explosive found in the dust around Manhattan needs to be accounted for. We owe it to the thousands of people who died to find out who perpetrated and assisted in this event.

I`m a 25 year old engineer working for the Canadian Federal Government in Motor Vehicle Regulations. I have obtained my bachelor`s degree at Ottawa University in 2009. I have designed a steel structural chassis for an amphibious vehicle which was fully analyzed, designed, and documented with drawings for manufacturing of the parts.
The core column for the twin towers was a combination of massive steel rods and cement and were amongst the strongest steel columns in the world. A fire in open air could potentially have weakened the steel in the column at a single point on the 100-sotry buildings, although this is highly unlikely given the steel melting point is much higher than a fire by kerosene in open air. But the cement in the column would still have sustained the building upwards. The problem is the column could have flexed and broken at that point, but the building would have fallen sideways. The floors below were designed to sustain 10 times the weight of all floors above at full capacity. The only way the column could have collapsed upon itself is if it was brought to malleability from top to bottom simultaneously, including the skeleton structural steel rods. But this was not the case. And even if it was, all the floors, walls, and other structural components would have created resistance and the collapse would have been slow. What the evidence shows is that they collapse at free fall speed minus air resistance. This is only achievable in a controlled demolition which removes the matter with explosives before the above floors reach the ones below. This is not to mention building 7. You don`t need expertise to break that one down.

Collapse of steel-framed buildings because of fire is nearly impossible. And a symmetrical collapse in free-fall-speed because of fire is absolutely impossible. About 300 hours of studying the facts relating to Sept. 11 showed me clearly, that the mainstream-medias and the governments of USA and Germany (and other) were lying and that they are still lying today.

I was a staunch republican at the time of 9/11. I supported the invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan at the time. However, about 2 years later I became aware of building 7. After carefully evaluating the evidence, I concluded that these 3 buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. I now believe that there is an agenda to take away our civil liberties under the auspices of fighting a false terror enemy.

They way in which WTC 7 collapsed clearly needs an independent investigation. Steel structure buildings cannot fall at near free-fall speed, into their own foot-print due to small fires. The official story does NOT scientifically explain the collapse of WTC 7, the Twin Towers, nor the findings of nano-thermite in the wreckage/dust, nor the molten steel that jet fuel fires cannot possibly burn at temperatures high enough to cause. Ground Zero should have been treated as a crime scene, but the wreckage was quickly removed - why was this allowed?

The crash of the plane has caused the destruction of several columns and then overloaded the columns which was remaining and then could have created a phenomenon of buckling in chain. Nevertheless it is impossible that this happen at the speed of a free fall approximatively. It implies huge supply of energy in the critic sections of the column, such energy brought by the reaction of thermite sounds very plausible.Plus, I'm not an expert in demolition but the collapse of WTC7 is way too clean to be characterized as accidental.

Twintowers: I doubt heavily the official story, as it would have been the first time, that steel frame buildings would have collapsed in such a way! Building 7: An almost obvious controlled demolition, what else?! Pentagon: Maybe the first telemetrically controlled airplane had also a hardwired altitude detection and was later flown to a remote airbase. Therefore, a second airplane - it might have been a large drone - was launched to try to cover the failure (as presented already on several websites).

What about the missing operation of the sprinkler system? Emergency power generation failed - why? Extremely unlikely because the sprinkler system was installed in the WTC towers after a fire disaster in 1976 (if I am right).

From the evidence provided by AE911TRUTH it is obvious that there is more to the story regarding the investigation on the attacks of 9/11. I do not however make the claim that 9/11 was an inside job due to a lack of evidence, but the need for alternative independent investigation regarding the presence of nano-thermite at the locations of WTC towers 1 and 2 and the deliberate take down of WTC 7 at free fall speed leave many unanswered questions.

Based on the evidence, the 'Official Story' does not explain why the Twin Towers collapsed. We the people have a right to know the truth, so the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 needs to be re-investigated. The new report/story needs to be supported by the evidence.

All three buildings collapse at a high rate straight down into their base footprint areas. There are many news clips where repeated explosions can be heard before the buildings collapse. There are many news clips where police and fire personnel state that there were many explosions before the buildings collapsed. The owner of the WTC buildings states during an interview that he gave the order to pull WTC 7 hours after the planes hit the other two towers. It takes days of preparation to pull a building like WTC 7. BBC reported that WTC 7 collapsed before it was actually demolished. The official story is nonsense.

WTC Building 7 came down on 9/11/2011 under extremely suspect circumstances. It is clear from video and trace thermite beads found on scene that this building was brought down using controlled demolition. The follow up investigation on this, the largest crime scene on American soil, in American history, was a sham. A new investigation as to the cause of its fall should be initiated by a group independent, but sanctioned, by We, The People, and our 'government'.

I remember on the day when the news of the 911 attacks was coming through. I was at work and we all gathered in the office of a colleague, who had a radio, and I remember hearing the frantic voice of the radio announcer saying that one of the towers had collapsed. At the time we had no access to TV footage of the hit on the buildings. After the collapse, I remember turning to a shocked colleague next to me and saying something like: the plane must have hit lower down, towards the bottom of the tower? It was the only way I could comprehend or explain to myself a collapse of such magnitude and speed! Today, it is still that rapid, symmetrical collapse that I find hard to understand.

I have learned tremendously through all the videos on ae911truth.org about the potential causes that might have brought down the mighty, majestic buildings adorning the Manhattan skyline. And the hollowness of the official investigation report. It was personally a very tragic moment for me to witness on TV the colossal damage and despair unseen in modern history. It fills me with awe to imagine a bunch of semi trained people remotely controlled by a man in remote languishing third world country desert or cave could trigger such a catastrophe despite the sophisticated vigilance of world's greatest nation.

As someone who considers himself a no-nonsense observer who values truth in whatever form it takes, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to question the cognitive dissonance between the official story and what I observed with my own eyes. Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~Patrick Henry

The accelerated collapse of the WTC buildings at nearly perfect free-fall speed, is physically only possible with a controlled demolition of the support structure (core & outside) of the building. There is no feature of the collapse that would support the theory of a weakened steel structure. On the other side, all characteristics of the collapses point to controlled demolition. In addition there's a lot of other evidence that can be learned from David Gage's excellent lecture, like the thermite evidence, witnesses hearing explosions, molten steel etc. No scientist, engineer or architect seeing especially WTC7 falling, could deny this is anything but controlled demolition. When seeing quotes of the NIST report it becomes painfully obvious the collapse has not been researched or explained in a scientific manner.

There are way too many unanswered questions from the World Trade Center destruction. These are left even unasked, from the post-attack preliminary-investigation. With no hesitation I demand a new totally open public investigation, unlimited in scope-of-inquiry -- even if such may open disturbing issues requiring honest and open resolution. We must accept nothing less than total openness and an an impartial search for absolute truth. The USA and the world deserve no less.

The official story about how the WTC buildings fell on September 11th is absolutely ridiculous. No fire-induced collapse, because of two jets, could cause a symmetrical fall of these three buildings at the acceleration of gravity--it's just physically impossible. The twin towers were engineered to withstand such aircraft strikes. And the videos of the three buildings falling also show clear signs of explosions that cannot be explained by any fire/jet caused collapse. Furthermore, there are innumerable eye-witness accounts of massive explosions (and demolition-style countdowns) that have no reasonable connection to the official story about why the buildings fell.

It is clear from my own research into the matter that the government is not telling us the whole story about 9/11. This does not imply 9/11 was a government conspiracy, but it does mean that important facts are being withheld from a public that has a right to know them. I believe the focus should be on Building 7, which underwent a symmetrical collapse that did not account for the mass resistance of the vertical pillars that were designed to hold the building up in the first place.
