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.

Like Richard Gage and the ae911truth organization, I accepted the official story until April 2008, when I read a paper written by Steven Jones, BYU physics professor. The towers and building #7 collapsed at near-freefall velocity, consistent with a controlled demolition. The NIST report is inaccurate, if not entirely bogus. The collapse of the trade towers should be re-investigated as a joint scientific (like the Challenger space shuttle disaster) and criminal (a team of independent forensic scientists) investigation.

There needs to be a structural evaluation of the failure of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 on September 11, 2001 in New York City. I believe there is no possibly way the buildings could have collapsed the way they did without a professional demolition effort. All three buildings should have fallen over first.

Occupation: Electronics Hardware Engineer
I have been a practicing electronics hardware engineer in the tech field in Silicon Valley ever since receiving a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara. Though the BSEE ultimately focuses on electronics, electronic devices, and materials, like most engineering degrees it also requires significant background study in physics, mechanics, and mathematics to sufficiently ground the recipient in the general discipline of engineering.
You hardly need college physics to show that the mechanics of NIST's collapse model doesn't fit the evidence collected on that day. A simple conservation of energy problem (taught in most high school treatments of mechanics) suffices. Take the twin towers for example: if the tops of the buildings accelerated towards the ground at the rate of free-fall, which I believe has been adequately established through video and seismic analysis, it follows that all of their stored gravitational potential energy is being expended accelerating their mass towards the surface of the earth. From whence came the energy responsible for dismantling the steel support structure below the falling mass then? How can one source of potential simultaneously be totally expended in the acceleration of mass earthward while also providing the energy to pulverize hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel and concrete? It simply can't... and that's one of many reasons why NIST's explanation is totally unacceptable.

The official explanation is incomplete. There are many circumstances that have been ignored and many simple, sensible questions about the explanation provided that have hot been addressed. The official analysis of the circumstances of the structural collapse events contains many unreasonable, even irrational aspects.

From the various sources I have researched, it is clear, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that Building 7 did not collapse due to fires and that the Towers did not collapse due to the impact and fires caused by the jetliners. The eye witness testimonies have been omitted from the official commission and neglected. The families of the victims would like the investigation to be reopened. Why would one require more reasons than this? The truth will set you free.

Occupation: Principal Architect
I am the head architect for Milwaukee County Department of Transportation & Public Works. We provide technical, design, and engineering advice and support for county agencies that own and operate over 800 buildings. The buildings include airports, mental health facilities, courthouses, museums, large horticultural and conservatory facilities, recreation facilities, golf clubhouses, and park pavilions, to name a few. I have over 20 years experience in private practice and was an architect for a fortune 500 corporation for over 8 years. I have a degree in Architectural Engineering with a structural engineering emphasis. I also was an associate with an engineering firm that specialized in the design of underground structural systems and water treatment and transportation facilities. I was personally responsible for the design and project management of some of these projects.
WTC Building #7 could not have fallen to the ground as swiftly as it did without assistance from some outside source other than an aircraft or falling debris. The Empire State Building did not fall to the ground when it was hit by a huge propeller driven aircraft. WTC 1 & 2 should not have fallen either. Something helped those buildings collapse on themselves, something other than those jet aircraft.

Steel structures do not collapse at free fall speed unless brought down with explosives. Having watched the collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings and listened to witness accounts, it is obvious that explosives were used. An investigation into who rigged the buildings and to what end is immediately necessary. Our future survival is at stake!

this requirement for a bio is confusing to me as I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, so possibly I have checked some box in error I am attempting to fill this so that my petition goes through. for those of you who have to fact check/correct these things my apologies. I am a 39 year old American Female who has no criminal record to speak of and who has always been drug and alcohol free. I do not subscribe to a religion but I am actively concerned with the evolution of the human race on a spiritual / consciousness beat. I work in retail and try to participate in community projects as often as possible to do my part in making my town (and consequently the world) a better place.
I am an American who feels that the due diligence that this event required was not honored. I do not pretend to be an expert on anything, but my knowledge of politics and bureaucracy tells me that a tendency to gloss over difficult things for the benefit of unifying public opinion is par for the course and I did not witness much if any hesitation on the part of the government (or media for that matter) to address things simplistically, instead of in a non emotional non reactionary way, as is their duty. History shows that governments who give quick swift answers to difficult and messy situations = inaccuracy/incompetency and possibly worse.

I work in inspecting the erection of equipment used in the water treatment field.
It is obvious that the buildings didn't collapse from structural damaged due to the airplane impacts and fire. The fire from the fuel was quickly burned up and the heat from the fire would not be sufficient to melt steel. The pulverized cement, termite evidence, molten steel, and eyewitness testimony of explosions is proof of controlled demolition.

I want to know the truth! My Father was very devastated by the collapses and I would like to know what really happened. I have researched some of the theories on what happened and I think we need to have the truth. I am tired of cover ups in this case. There HAS to be more to the story.

I did engineering and physics at school - i did a project on september 11 in 2006 and it didn't make sense - how the buildings could fall - without some sort of explosives.
I think there needs to be thorough unbiased investigation - no money - just truth.

As I watched the twin towers collapse -- there was no question in my mind -- that I was witnessing a controlled demolition. I have been around buildings long enough to recognize that physics is constant and that only professionally placed explosives could have brought down these buildings in such a 'organized' manner.

I do not have any training in or knowledge of architecture or engineering. I am not affiliated with any organizations.
I know that what happened in New York on September 11th, 2001 was a carefully orchestrated conspiracy. I know most of the so-called proof is just blown out of proportion, but the kind of evidence advocated by this website is real. The degree of destruction that the Twin Towers suffered can not be explained by anything but the use of explosives. If our government denies the truth that they surely must see, then let that be the only proof that you need to understand. The USG will not stop using any and all means to hide truth and perpetuate lies, as the preservation of American beliefs has been lost already. I'm not saying politicians placed explosives themselves, but I will say anybody who helps those responsible avoid their justice is clearly an accomplice at best. However, the many conversations in which our politicians refuse to speak when confronted by the truth greatly deters the use of evidence and truth. These efforts clearly imply some kind of personal involvement.

It is impossible that all three buildings fell in the manner in which they did based on the reasons stated in the 911 Commission's Report. There is also new evidence of thermite found in the WTC dust. Anyone with even the most average of intelligence knows that there is something very wrong with the official 911 Commission's Report. There needs to be an independent investigation ASAP.

Member of We Are Change Chicago. I have read every thing I can find regarding the official story and the finding of independent groups like 911 truth, A&E for 911 truth etc... I feel a new investigation is needed.
it is plain to even the most uninformed that a new investigation is needed to get to the bottom of the concerns about the 911 horror. Please we the people ask you in Congress, open a new and independent investigation and shine the truth on this horrible day in our history. We need the truth from Washington just once.

I work as a tradesman,i have no building degrees but I have eyes to see and ears to hear, and 911 was a staged act of terror.
I have been researching 911 since I heard that it was staged. I'm just a tradesman but you would have to be blind not to be convinced it was an inside job after seeing Building #7 of the WTC come down in its own footprint. For what my word is worth, I stand for truth and with patriots around the world for another investigation into the 911 WTC incident.
