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 official version never made sense to me. I anticipated that explosives would have been required just by hearing a description of the collapse on 9/11/2001. Quick calculations I made based on conservation of momentum trying to convince people the official explanation was false gave a 120 second collapse time for a gravitational collapse & 35mph to 60 mph lateral mass ejections which are not possible if only gravity driven. Newton's 3rd Law required the complete destruction of the falling top of the towers that should have left 60 stories of intact buildings standing after a gravitational collapse ended. Energy available from a gravitational collapse was insufficient to explain all features of the actual collapse. Core columns could be seen disintegrating in sections after the collapses ended. Steel frame buildings, by design and properties of materials, could not fail from oxygen-starved hydrocarbon fires. The buildings were designed to withstand airplane collisions of the 757/767 class and had withstood natural forces far greater over the life of the buildings. In short, I'm an engineer and understand the laws of physics and the official explanation violated at least 1/2 dozen of them.

I sat riveted for over two and 1/2 hours listening and watching the presentation by Mr. Richard Gage, AIA. The concise information on the twin towers and especially building 7, caused me to reevaluate the 911 Commission report. Unfortunately, that conclusion caused me to be quite concerned at the direction that the thought process then takes you. At the very least, the disaster must be investigated with new eyes on the nature and causes of the building loss and the loss of life. Who or what is responsible? How could it have been done? What part did the planes really have in the collapse? I don't know but would like more answers.

Therefore it is my opinion that a true independent investigation must be done to provide the truth behind this very important historical event. The collapse of all three buildings is quite obviously the result of controlled demolition.

I am a citizen of the United States and I am very concerned about the truth of the 9/11 event. The facts point to very different conclusions that what the United States citizens have been lead to believe from the fourth estate of this country. It is time for all good statesmen to come to the aid of their countrymen. If we do not find the truth now, we may lose it forever. Time is of the essence. As someone trained in scientific method it is a great challenge to my intellect to be expected to swallow the lies any more.

Building 7 made it easy to see explosives were used. Upon fact checking NIST's own words, it becomes evident they are lying, shifting numbers, & commiting massive scientific fraud. Basic high school physics proves NIST is lying. The double talk from George Bush made it easy to see the lies come straight from the top down.

I have taken only a few political science classes, but the 9/11 tragedy has always been a very captivating and misleading event to the public. I would just like to contribute to the investigation because I firmly believe our government sacrificed all those lives just for the money that war generates! Sad, but I'd love for it to be exposed... it's sickening.

The chill I felt when I saw the 'collapsing towers' is not something I am likely to forget, nor the feeling that there were insiders at work. My Modern History students were asked to examine the evidence as they saw it and they all concluded that there is much information that is being held.

I have no technical training in any area which would be considered relevant to the investigation. I have a retail and banking background.
The official version needs thorough investigation. The fact that there has been admission by NIST that Building 7 fell at free fall speed for a couple of seconds proves that there was nothing below it for that period. I stand along side ae911truth in their demand of a new investigation.

I find it impossible to believe the official story of 9/11. I'm confident that the average person with an open mind will have serious doubts regarding the NIST final report. It is absolutely necessary to determine the exact cause of the WTC building collapses along with building #7. The truth about what happened on 9/11 is important not only in the USA, but the entire world!

Statements from eyewitnesses were not consistent with the official story, and the immediate identification of suspects within days, and the targeting of countries that were not cooperating with the geopolitical aims of the Pentagon seemed too convenient. Subsequent studies and careful analysis of the available information confirms in my eyes, the involvement of insiders in the destruction of the trade towers. In the months and years following this event, legitimate activities by people concerned with environmental and human rights impacts of our use of fossil fuels, have been targeted, to the detriment of fair and equitable development.

We are not blind. The evidence at hand suggests something quite cunning and planned for much in advance of 9/11 carried out by entities other than 19 Arabs. The entire world deserves a complete and thorough investigation. The world deserves the truth.

I was 17 years old and visiting Los Angeles (family lives there) when the First Interstate Bank Building fire occurred. We went downtown that night. We couldn't get any closer than about 4 blocks (police) but the fire appeared barbecue hot. I recall asking my uncle (an HVAC engineer who had worked in that building on several occasions) if the steel would melt and the top 40 floors (actually 50 floors) would come crashing down. He assured me that the steel in those tall buildings was far too strong to be destroyed by fire. So, 13 years later, I will never forget seeing WTC2 collapse completely to the ground. This seemed impossible at the time. After listening to several explanations by our news media, I started to believe it... although it still seemed impossible that these super-strong steel buildings which were affected so much higher up than First Interstate Bank would be brought down as quickly and completely as they were... and then there's WTC7... wtf!!?? Anyway, I saw your program on PACT and the brain got thinking again and I'm mad as hell as we HAD to have been lied to about this. Also, who did it? Scary stuff!!

I worked within the building industry working on small homes,offices, buildings of all shapes and sizes in London plus canary wharf. churches, million pound homes and army property. i have a good understanding of structural design that goes in line with common sense. i recognized something was wrong when the two buildings fell to the ground in a mass of dust. plus at the speed of gravity. No way was that the plans doing..
Can some throw some light on building 7. Larry Silverstein said in an interview that he asked the new york fire department to pull 7. How did they pull it so quickly. Why is the fire department pulling building 7. What fire department was it. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_World_Trade_Center. it conflicts with Larry Silverstein. He is saying he asked the fire department to pull it. F.E.M.A are saying its the central column.

After reviewing footage of the attack, one cannot help but notice the way in which the three buildings fell; there was a slight sinking in the middle of the top of the buildings, followed by an implosion. This is the manner that a building falls in a demolition. Besides that, two planes hit two different buildings, however, the third building remained untouched, yet somehow it collapsed as well.

Hey, my name is Daniel, and I think that this whole thing about 9/11 is bullshit. People have to realize what actually happened and not listen to Fox News and others. They should play this movie on all American televisions until everyone has seen it, then they can make a decision for themselves about who they should believe.
I think that the whole 9/11 thing is bullshit. I wish America would open up their eyes and rise against the government for the real answers because it's way too obvious that the terrorists had nothing to do with it. Come on, people, figure your shit out; we need the truth.

I strongly advocate an independent and in-depth reexamination of the events that took place on Sept. 11th 2001. I always thought it was strange that two of the planes apparently were destroyed into vapor upon impact due to jet fuels. And in recent times, after becoming enlightened, I started reconsidering the collapses of all three WTC buildings, and I am 100% certain that they were brought down by controlled demolition. They collapsed far too perfectly, and for no explainable reason. No structurally sound, metal and concrete buildings have ever in the history of human existence, fallen victim to internal fires. I want to know exactly what happened to those buildings, and an explanation as to why it was covered up.

The evidence for controlled demolition is evident, as is the poor scientific quality of the NIST/FEMA reports. The opinions of a plethora of experts as well as eyewitnesses mandates an impartial investigation. Anything short of this is a disservice to the american people and the world at large, and is a de facto threat to international peace and security.
