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.

From a scientific point of view, it is absolutely impossible that the 3 Towers collapsed because of fire. The explosion clouds, as well as the free fall, makes no sense at all to me. There must have been resistance by the massive core columns, almost solid steel columns in the lower floors. I want to see the truth investigated about 9/11, which had so many consequences for everybody in the world, even till this day. The people responsible must be found.

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.

I am concerned that the buildings collapsed too neatly and didn't topple over. I believe that controlled demolition was involved. I attended a conference where a janitor from the WTC claimed he heard explosions in the basement prior to the collapses. I cannot fathom how WTC7 could collapse due to a fire.

I was sponsored by Balfour Beatty ( a large UK construction company ) and worked for them for a total of 7 years mainly on Power Transmission Lines, TV masts and Bridges.I also worked as a structural engineer for Eastwood and Partners who are consulting engineers in Sheffield, England on projects including the design of the structural frame (part steel, part reinforced concrete) for a large factory (the size of 2 football pitches)
All major structures have their strongest points at the center of the building. Even the most basic of structural engineers knows that collapse occurs through the line of least resistance and NOT under any circumstances through the line of GREATEST resistance.Since all 3 buildings collapsed in upon themselves to the center, then the center had clearly become the weakest point in all 3 buildings. The ONLY way that the strongest point is going to change into to the weakest point is if there is a controlled demolition to make it so.

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

At the moment I saw the first tower fall, it was obvious to me that the collapse was too symmetrical and too rapid not to have been assisted. - - - - The falling of the second tower in a similar manner, in a similar time frame was beyond any reasonable coincidence. - - - - An obvious insurance fraud (and likely much more) that needs a thorough investigation.

I was interested in physics throughout my school career in Germany, where i did the highest possible school leaving certificate. I will finish my studys of Geoinformatics and Satellitepositioning with a Bachelor degree in 2011.
The way the buildings collapsed is in my opionion just not possible - from a physical point of view - if not explosives were be used to destroy the construction before. The resistance of the not damaged parts of the buildings, e.g. of the whole building WTC 7, would not have led to an almost free-fall-speed collapse. There is a lot of evidence out there and it`s a shame that no one asks for answers! Especially why the melten steel that is reported by so many and can be seen at so many places isn`t even mentioned in the offical story !

I've seen too many controlled Demolitions to believe that the destruction of the buildings was caused by any fire on the upper floors. Also the many reports of explosions on the ground and lower levels of the buildings by other workers. The theory put out by the Gov. is full of holes. How dumb do they think we the people are??

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but anyone with half a brain can recognize that two massive buildings can't collapse in less than 10 seconds due to overheated steel. It's impossible for them to be completely demolished without falling outward instead of straight down.

Been researching 9/11 for several years now. Mr. Gage presents the most credible scientific analysis of the three collapses that day and I support the work he is doing 110%. One day I believe Mr. Gage will be regarded as an American hero, a true patriot, the true embodiment of what America stands for. Reason above myth. Proof above hearsay. The reason the first amendment was created was for people like Richard Gage. I was proud to have helped bring him to Montreal to give a lecture and we would have him back at the first opportunity. My mother was only convinced of the validity of 9/11 truth after seeing Richard Gage speak.
100 ton beams were ejected laterally 500 feet. How? What force acted upon those 100 ton beams to hurl them 500 feet? Gravity? The top section falling? Impossible. And this is just one of dozens of questions regarding the collapses of the buildings. Jane Stanley? Elevator upgrade? Human bodies turned into 200 pieces? Longest commercial fire in history (99 days.) 444 days to open an investigation (longest ever.) The list could go on for hours.

It is obvious that building 7 collapsed by forces other than the World Trade Towers collapse. This makes the WTC controlled collapse even more suspicious. In addition to the video comments by the landlord of WTC Larry Silverstein admitting the building was pulled. http://iwilltryit.com/challenge1.htm Then on camera interview with John Kerry where he also admits that Bldg 7 was pulled .

A real investigation is critical and important for the country to heal, to punish the real culprits and to let the world see that America is once again a country to be proud of.

As a NON-expert in the field of Physics, Architecture OR demolition, I found it VERY odd that the buildings came down in the 'clean' manner that they did that day. I had no idea until recently there was SO much support *against* the commission - good to see. Furthermore, my own personal investigation, has led me to delve even deeper into the reasons WHY this happened, not just How/THAT it happened.

Fear is very common when something isn't understood. And with fear comes aggression. In this situation we have a lot of these two things circling around. I feel that seeking out more answers to how these buildings have fallen will not only help people to understand but also help the people that have lost someone that day.

Having researched the now available data, i believe that thermite was certainly used to bring down both of the Twin Towers as well as Building 7. The amount of evidence that AE911Truth puts out fully proves to me without of a shadow of doubt that buildings were deliberately pulled.

this is clearly a very elaborate cover-up. For the officials in charge of this cover-up to go to the extremes that they have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that steal melted and buckeled by mere fire an enormous lie is lerking behide the debris.

As I witnessed the near-free-fall disintegration of the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11/2001 I was immediately struck with the abnormality of its destruction. There was no hot fire, survivors in the towers above the point of aircraft impact were observed alive and anxious to be rescued; emergency responders in the towers reported they had contained and controlled the fire. Then a roar and one of the strongest buildings in the world (a technical marvel) disappears in monstrous cloud of dust and smoke. No building goes down like that without the use of explosives! As student of history, having researched a number of natural and man-made disasters, I question the official version(s) of the buildings' destruction; they are totally inadequate in explaining the what, why and how the towers disintegrated. Compounding this horror is the official reaction (non-reaction?) to the collapse of Building 7 later that day, an episode that begs for answers to pressing questions.

Common sense could see free fall speed and common sense tells you the hole in the pentagon could not fit a 757 plane. Common sense tells you that never in history was there a plane crash with no debris. (Shanksville)
It only takes common sense to see the real picture. No 757 fits in the hole at the pentagon, never has their been a plane crash without debris, cell phones don't work in airplanes miles in the air and if you researched demo you would find it takes more than one day to set up.

I don't believe the official story of the World Trade Center towers and building 7 collapse on September 11, 2001. However, this has led to ridiculous theories and conjecture to replace the official which may, in turn, pollute the minds of those who cannot believe in the findings of the 9/11 commission. For this reason alone I ask that the investigation be re-opened.
