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.

Two words: Building Seven. When adding up all of the evidence, it appears that we have been misled by our government. Even worse, are those in government who choose to look away when the 911 issue is brought up. Even Obama says we need to look ahead instead of looking back at 911. 911 was the biggest single event in the living history of everyone alive on this planet. This is not an event that should be pushed aside in favor of looking forward. It's not a coincidence that George W. Bush pardoned himself and his administration from 9/11/01 forward. The guilty need to be held accountable for these horrendous crimes so that we can all heal and FINALLY move forward in a quest for WORLD PEACE.

I have an engineering degree in electronics. I have also obtained an engineering degree in information technology. I now have 20 years of professional experience in advanced software projects in the high-tech technical automation market.
The way the WTC1 and WTC2 steel-towers collapsed, after burning less than 1 hour, simply cannot be explained by the oxygen starved office fires which were the result of the plane impacts. Especially after the kerosine had all burned off. The buildings disintegrated at almost free-fall speed. The part of the towers below the impact zones, which should have been completely intact and strong, did not provide any resistance in the symmetrical freefall collapse of the buildings. The limited pile of rubble remaining is not consistent with a 450 meter tall towers. The symmetrical nature and freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

Never believed the fire causes collapse version. Thermodynamics of such scale is a very complicated, but mechanics should be obvious to anybody willing to think about it: such a tall structure would never ever fall into its own footprint, leave along the free fall speed and dustification of concrete.

I do not believe that 9/11 has had a proper investigation. How could some on the 9/11 Commission be allowed to serve and also be witnesses to testify? Building 7 was not mention in the report. Building 7 came down in the same manor as the Towers.

I have a full and complete Canadian elementary and high school education, which is more than is needed for one to come to the conclusion that the 9/11 commission report is blatantly inadequate in it's findings.
There is quite obvious evidence of controlled demolition in just VIEWING the collapse of WTC1, 2, and 7. If there was no use of explosives in the buildings, than how could all 3 have fallen at free fall speed in the EXACT same fashion? All 3 buildings fell straight into their own footprint, and these buildings where constructed out of fire-proof steel... where are the massive steel core columns that should have been sticking out of the ground? How come no steel buildings have EVER collapsed due to fire before or since 9/11? And why is there no mention of building 7 in the 9/11 commission report? These are just a sample of the questions i have surrounding the day of 9/11 and all of its obscurities.

My birth family owned a lumber company and commercial construction company. I have founded three businesses, one in construction management. Although my residential contractor's license expired several years ago, I have knowledge and understanding of building engineering.
I totally doubt the 9/11 Commission findings. The way in which the World Trade towers fell and the fringe involvement of Building 7 has perplexed me since 9/11/01, and I raised these issues with friends soon after the tragedy's shock subsided. I have been so relieved that experts are providing substantial evidence of what I initially sensed.

No architectural background or experience. I've just done a lot of research on the subject and I agree there needs to be a real investigation into Sept. 11th.
Of the multiple reasons I've heard about the collapse, none of the accepted causes of the collapse seem to be believable. The Official Report(Which I might add, was made MONTHS after Sept 11th) states that the collapse of the buildings was said to be caused by fire and the pancake effect. No other building before or since has ever collapsed due to fire! Also both towers, and building 7 both fell in the exact same manner that a building falls in a controlled demolition.

The building seem to have fallen due to demolitions and I would like a thorough investigation. Physics tells us that buildings or objects for that matter do not fall straight down. The beams throughout the entire building would have had to been demolished all at the same time for this to happen.

I am a high school graduate of one year currently residing in Vernon B.C. and I have just started to become involved with the 9/11 truth theories. I was eleven years old when the world trade centres were attacked and at that point in my life, I had absolutely no reason to question the mainstream media or the government. Why would I? Isn't the government supposed to protect and look after the rights of it's citizens?
Surprisingly, untill only a couple weeks ago, I never even had known that tower 7 had collapsed and after seeing what I believe to be a controlled demolition I feel that signing this petition is the right thing to do. Also, what I believe to be proof of thermate use and explosions at the base of the tower, as well as the testimonies of first responders and even that the media said that it looked like a controlled demolition on the eleventh drove me to ask more questions and want a public investigation of the crime.

Ms. Musarrat Masters Prolific and inspired, Musarrat Masters is an artist exuding colour and imagination through every piece of her work. Her vibrant images teem with life and movement, drawing the viewer into a world of new possibilities and offering new perspectives. Having painted professionally for over three decades, Musarrat sources her ideas from a rich reservoir of experience developed through persevering at her canvas. Through her concerted effort, deep involvement and the thorough study of her subjects she has carved a niche for her work. Her maturity as an artist is distinctly evident in her handling of the subjects and her canvasses command attention. Born in Pune, India in 1952, Musarrat completed her diploma in Commercial Art before doing a stint as a visualizer for AT&T in Iran and later did her Masters degree in Fine Arts. Following her Masters degree, she immersed herself into pursuing a career in fine art and delved into the study of horses. Whilst she is proficient with a variety of subjects ranging from still-lifes to abstracts, recently, she has focused her attention onto the beauty and poise of horses and the female form. Musarrat has exhibited extensively since her first solo show in Pune, including several shows in Mumbai, Bangalore, Muscat and Dubai. Her works are in many private collections worldwide, including those of the Royal families of the United Arab Emirates and Oman and several multinational corporation. http://www.musarratmasters.com Virtual art gallery on the net.
Most of the people around the world including myself have from the start believed that this was the work of one of the U.S. agencies. The precise timing of the synchronized attacks could never have been possible by anybody from out side. The whole thing was done to give George W Bush to attack Afghanistan and Iraq. It was definitely aided by the Israelis to finish the Arab country of Iraq and may be later Iran.

I am no engineer,physicist,or expert,but I knew immediately the collapse was not from fire..It takes common sense to comprehend that.We have an explosion of the 2 World Trade Towers and an implosion of the World Trade Center Bldg 7

I am 52 years old and always been self employed. Since 2002 I have been involved in Real estate as an investor. The recent wall street crash and bank fiasco is what led me to start looking into what is really going on in this country today.This is what took me to the Journal of 911 studies.I am to this day truly amazed at what I have managed to find out.
We need to have an independent inquiry regarding the events of 911 2001. There is overwhelming evidence that explosives where used to bring down the WTC buildings 1/2 and 7. There is a massive government cover up of the real truth of what happened that day and the circumstances leading up to it. The media has masked the truth from the American People from the outset.They must also be brought to justice for this atrocity against the American people. The persons responsible must be held accountable for their actions,and tried for treason and war crimes against humanity. If we do not push to get another inquiry this atrocity will be lost in history forever and we will never be rid of these murderers. It is going to take a monumental effort to bring this to justice.

I watched the live images the morning of 11SEP01. The spectacle of aircraft directed at the towers was shocking but even more so was the collapse of those structures. I knew then that it was an impossibility that structural failure was brought on solely by the combination of impact and ensuing fire. The massive internal structure of each tower didn't exhibit any resistance to collapse once the first suspect area shifted. The destruction was immediate and cross-section wide with no apparent resistance from any member. The concrete can be seen to become pulverized right where the first structural movement is detected. The concrete pulverization wouldn't be something that I'd expect from a unassisted localized floor collapse. Without explosive assistance I believe a building collapse should be witnessed in segmented fashion with various areas of internal resistance resulting in uneven failure not the complete and instantaneous failure found in this case. Additionally WTC7 needs no educated explanation as to its' collapse. After watching the collapse of WTC7, and if refusing to believe that assistance (explosive) was employed, I for one would never again enter a multifloor building in NYC.
