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 explanations given regarding the tragic events on 9/11 do not match with the evidence shown. The melting process of steel is not instant allowing a building to free fall perfectly vertical, four times in a row especially. The fourth building wasn't even hit, had a small office fire, and the same thing happened to it as well. Witnesses to large explosions knew it was coming down before it did. Steel would warp, and twist since the fire was not perfectly distributed, and the fail points would give away at different times due to varying loads, and design variances before failing in an uneven, and much slower fashion.

I had never previously viewed the videos of the building collapses with a critical eye until watching documentaries that state the elapsed time of the collapses and provide eye witness accounts of explosions within the buildings that were unrelated to the airplane impacts. Also, the open-air burn temperature of jet fuel did not provide a heat source sufficient to melt the steel structure and produce a building collapses at near free-fall speeds.

I am appalled at the official report. I love the quote from Mr. Tarpley,(paraphrased) If the government has nothing to hide, why are they hiding everything. I will also like to reference a YouTube video that states....If jet fuel melts steel , I'm never flying again. Planes are just going to start falling out of the skies.

One of the government's most commonly stated missions is to protect its citizens. Regarding 9/11, this duty would certainly include understanding the true root cause of the destruction in New York City that day...for all three buildings. For NIST and the government to assume that combustion of office materials in a small area of the building caused the symmetrical collapse of Tower 7 is simply irresponsible. It also demonstrates absolute neglect in their duty to protect its citizens from attack. If terrorists could fly planes into WTC 1 and 2, could they not have wired tower 7 for demolition? Shouldn't we be absolutely sure that's not what happened? Looking at the collapse, nobody can deny that it appears to be controlled demolition. So the next question is, who wired the building? The refusal by NIST to test for residues of explosives is beyond belief.

I am an 18 year old student at the University of South Carolina. Although I have since changed my major, I formerly pursued a degree in Civil and Environmental engineering. The semester of college engineering classes I've taken have assisted me in my clarity of the 9/11 events.
After transcending my denial, I allowed my mind to see the impossibility of a commercial airline alone disintegrating a 100-story office building. I have also seen videos of thermite (not even thermate) in action on steel mediums and from that understood that only carefully placed uses of the incendiary could cripple such massive pieces of steel. Money is the root of all evil in this world, and I believe it is money, not the 'Taliban' or 'people who hate [Americans] because we're] free,' that drove George W. Bush and numerous other politicians and corporate higher-ups to conduct such a heinous act of treason against the American people.

When all three buildings disintegrated into thin air, as if there was a controlled demolition, including building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane, you begin to wonder.George W. Bush's brother was one of the top dogs for the security company for the twin towers. Dick Cheney had huge ties to Halliburton. Aaron Russon gave an interview detailing an 'event' that would spark a war on terror per John Rockafeller's remarks. - I think there's more than enough information here.

I graduated from Concord High School in 2013 with hopes of majoring in political science in college. Ever since my early days of high school I have been committed to learning more and more about the destruction of the WTC Towers. I hope to get the message out after I get my PoliSci Degree and will not stop the fight for the truth.
9/11 was a controlled event. There are certain indicators that tell us that something other than office fires and jet fuel brought these buildings down. Indicators like, molten metal at the crime scene, months of raging infernos even with rain and thousands of gallons of pyrocool, the microspheres in the dust. All of this information points to another culprit other than office fires, which is why we must continue to ask questions and demand a real investigation.

I'm in the third year of the Architecture & Urbanism course at UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista J'lio de Mesquita Filho. We are very focused on planning and aesthetics in our course, with some raw embasement about structures. Although, I am very interested on that field of science.
As an architecture student, it's my mission to provide good planning for buildings in general, and also be a responsible for my acts and my fails. Then I cannot accept all that impediment of the government on not letting a independent investigation to proceed. That's irresponsabile whereas there should be concern about the truth. I support this action and hope it is valid, even if I'm only a student.

For almost eight years I have been questioning the official story. I recently decided that I need to do something more than discussing the hard facts with other people. Something needs to be done about the lack of awareness and uncaring I see around me and I want to take it upon myself to do something about it.

It is impossible for all 47 steel columns to systematically collapse at the same time. Pancake theory is easily proven false. Thermite in the dust, phone calls telling people not to fly or go to world trade center. And of course the put options on American airlines.

From looking at evidence I have concluded for myself that the official report given by NIST doesn't even come close to giving an accurate explanation for what happened to the Towers that day. There are many questions that have to be answered to explain the physics of what happened to the towers, if one just goes over all the evidence it becomes very clear that the report given by NIST doesn't really answer much when it comes to their explanations of how the towers collapsed. Basically to me the NIST report is one massive guess with little scientific evidence to back it up.

Growing up in Canada, I've stayed informed regarding the political events in the United States. This tragedy in particular has been covered extensively by the Canadian media. My curiosity regarding this event led to discovering the many 'conspiracy theories' surrounding them. These theories were intriguing but ultimately easy to dismiss because they all got carried away with increasingly far fetched stories. I believe that it's imperative we stick to the basic facts and undeniable doubts then we may see what these lead to.
The official story of the destruction of the skyscrapers during September 11, 2001 defies common sense when considering the many pieces of evidence pointing towards a controlled demolition. Whatever the truth may be regarding this event, it must be revealed to citizens of the United States of America as well as the international community. This is vital in order to restore trust in the government and ensure that an event like this never happens again.

I was in the 9th grade in my third period science class when my teacher turned the TV on. I had never been to NYC so I did not realize the magnitude of it until I moved to NYC when I was 19.

Interested in the truth my entire life. The day of the Kennedy assasination, about 4p. m. , I told my father I didn't believe the story. My father asked me why. I said because it has only been a few hours and they have months of information about what happened and Lee Harvey Oswald. And, they said they were sure that he acted alone, when it would have taken at least weeks, possibly months to know that for sure. Thats right, believe it or not, they couldn't fool an 8 year old. The official story of the events of 911 are just as unbelievable, the more you look at it the more impossilbe it is, and it is completely impossible.
The official story regarding the events of 911 is a ridiculous fairy tale. The actions of the President, the story of the planes and their path, the stand down of NORAD, the way the buildings collapsed, all false. There are literally 100's of reasons the official story cant be true.

The destruction of the skyscrapers on 9/11 was a tragic event.

The current official analysis and explanation is simply absurd. The two towers cannot have collapsed in such a neat and fast way only due to the damage done by the two planes. This also applies to WTC7 and the alleged fire-induced collapse. Something must be done to unveil the truth about these crucial contemporary events (whatever it may be).

I'm very dubious about the 'official version' of 9/11, especially regarding the Twin Towers' collapse (two airplanes can't make them go down) and the possibility of the passengers to make phone calls from the planes. Moreover, it's physically impossible that an airplane crashed against the Pentagon the way it was told; finally, materials of the fourth flight were found miles far from the place they told us that impacted the ground, not any rest of the plane instead was found in the hole where they told us it crashed.

I have been inside the normal flow of government approved education plus education of life and consciousness evolving with the whole of humanity.
Building 7 is an obvious and classic case of explosive demolition, and people on the ground that day witnessed/heard explosions. And that raises questions on the Twin Towers as well, they did fall in to their own footprint after all. Plus the spheres found in the dust that point to thermite. There is also no proof of a plane crashing into the Pentagon neither physical or digital, and it hit in a too 'convenient' segment of the building where people where working on where the trillions of dollars that had been lost (tax dollars) had gone and also 'convenient' that they had been moved to that part of the building from one of the inner segments that are more secure just weeks or even days before. And, of course, the statement that was made on Sept 10, 2001, regarding those tax dollars, is also quite aligned with this mess.

I was only 10 years old when 9/11 occurred. It took me 10 more years to finally realize how obviously incorrect the official record on 9/11 was; portrayed by the government and its media. It takes a truly passive and lazy citizen to stand by and do nothing; especially after re-watching the tapes on the 9/11 collapses. It is obvious that there were controlled demolitions in all collapsed towers. Only a fool would deny this after being presented with the evidence of an independent analysis.

I don't believe the 9/11 Commission Report accurately explains what happened to the WTC complex. Steel skyscrapers just don't melt from fires and collapse on themselves at free fall speed and disintegrate.
