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 work being done by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and by Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, questions the explanation of collapse given by the 9/11 Commission and NIST. The statement that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by controlled demolition is proven conclusively by the empirical evidence and basic physics. One only needs to look at conservation of energy to see this.

I think 9/11 was a false flag operation ordered by people in some of the highest offices in the United States to limit if not end Americans' constitutional rights. It also probably helped cover up illegal activity in the stock market by some of these same people.

When the twin towers collapsed was in North America working on a project with one of the 7 sisters oil majors at the time. I watched the buildings come down with my colleagues. We were a team of engineers from various disciplines including civil and structural. Our immediate thoughts were that only controlled demolition could produce such a result. It is time for the truth to come out!

I have been in the mechanical and electrical field of repair and modification for about 12 years. I have worked closely with engineers of many disciplines. I was in the military for 4 years. I have been involved in the root cause analysis of many accidents. Some of failed structural steel and other composite materials. I have studied metallurgy and what can cause fatigue in metals. I have also studied the live and dead load of flooring and the stresses caused by each to different materials used.
Steel buildings do not naturally collapse in the manner that was witnessed on 9-11. It is not possible that 2 would have collapsed in the same manner, yet we are told to believe that 3 collapsed in that manner. (within their own footprint and at near-free fall speed) We have had much smaller incidents that have been better studied than this world changing event. It has lead to laws being passed and conflicts with at least 2 nations. Yet the study of this incident has been incomplete and in most cases compiled of flawed testing... which is shameful.

The official story doesn't match the evidence. In particular the damage of an outer load bearing steel structure through a thin aluminium sheet metal plane is not likely. Furthermore the acceleration (and disintegration) of the upper part of the building is clear evidence of a controlled demolition (compare also videos of failed controlled demolitions where the upper half is still standing).

My professional career spans twenty years working in the mechanical, electrical, and software engineering disciplines.
The most blatant evidence that virtually anyone can understand with the help of a high school science background or reasonable common sense and intelligence is the fact that a modern steel-framed building cannot collapse at free-fall speed on its original footprint without the help of high explosives. The collapse of Building 7 especially defies any other remotely plausible explanation. An unprecedented engineering failure, a symmetric and orderly collapse, and a debris field totally consistent with a controlled demolition effecting three separate structures on the same afternoon. The odds of this happening in a fashion consistent with our official government-endorsed conspiracy theory defy my imagination!

Like most people who viewed the event, and as a mother of two young children at that time, I was so emotional and deeply sadden by the loss. The event sent chill down to my spine and I was numb and speechless everytime I watched it on TV. My heartfelt thanks to those who initiated AE911 Truth and its supporters. As a civil engineer, after watching the AE911 Truth movie, I could not agree more with the fact that we need to learn the real truth behind 911. The truth must be revealed not only for the sake of the victims' families but for the whole world. As a US citizen and as God's child, I feel responsible to join AE911 Truth in demanding for an unbiased scientific investigation. We owe it to the victims' families, to those soldiers who are fighting in the front line for world peace, as well as to our future generations.

The way that the three buildings fell on 9/11 certainly raises doubts that they fell due to the reported causes: damage by the aircraft and the subsequent fire. The fact that Building 7 also fell in the same fashion (completely vertical), and the abundant physical and photographic evidence of explosives, convinces me that an independent investigation of this matter must be undertaken.

It is impossible for the highly asymmetric damage caused by the second plane hitting WTC 2 to result in the completely symmetrical collapse of that building. The incredibly symmetrical implosion of WTC 7 into its own footprint confirms that controlled demolition was involved. This could only be done well in advance of 9/11/2001, and only with the full knowledge of the security firms in control of the WTC site. It could not have been perpetrated by a ragtag group of desert desperadoes.

Pure physics and basic structural engineering fundamentals prove that these buildings would not collapse at an accelerated rate (i.e.due to gravity) without the structural members below being completely disintegrated. The structural members would normally resist the forces of the floors above UNLESS they were destroyed by means far greater than heat produced by burning jet fuel. Structural collapses are typically slow to start and are not as uniform as collapses resulting from controlled detonations, which is likely the cause of these collapses.

When I first saw the towers fall I said that's a controlled demolition. My wife said omg we're at war. Tower 7 information came to me a week or so later, and just confirmed my first impression. The scary part is- who benefits by the destruction. The people need to take this country back. We the People are not just words, they mean something.

1. WTC1 and 2 failures were instantaneous and uniform across the floor area. 2. WTC1 and 2 had large amounts of molten steel in the rubble, produced by significant non-oxidizing exothermic reactions. 3. WTC7 uniformly and instantaneously fell at or near free fall for about 2 seconds, 20 meters, or 6 stories. Every column must have failed at the same time over a height of 6 stories. 4. Starting from these unmentioned and inexplicable observations, one can critically examine the evidence of a terrorist attack that day, and realize there is nothing there at all.

I defer to the experts in the field. However, I do have a solid theoretical background in the fundamentals of engineering, physics and chemistry. My relevant education includes basic undergraduate courses in physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, materials science, psychology and neuropsychology. I have understanding and respect for the scientific method: the method of following the evidence wherever it may lead without prejudice or bias, to arrive at scientifically-derived conclusions, no matter how unpopular or politically incorrect they may or may not be. Science influenced by politics is not pure science; it is pseudo-science. Pure science MUST be apolitical, meaning independent of political influence at every stage. This is always a challenge for professionals, but an ideal worth striving for, both for the integrity of the discipline of science, and for the service of science to humanity.
I first learned of the twin tower collapses on one of the major TV news networks. My personal experience was one of surrealism. It felt more like a dream than reality. Immediately, the names that came to mind were Bin Laden, and Al Quada, and some time later I realized that I had been psychologically primed by the media with this information. I originally believed the story told by the mainstream media and government officials that very hot jet fuel fires caused the steel to melt and collapse. But I think subconsciously I had some reservations that the buildings could collapse at free-fall acceleration, and fall so neatly into their own footprints. I had seen demolition videos before, and the similarity was not lost on me. Many years went by and I began to see inside job bumper stickers, and internet images and stories, the first of which was the BBC story claiming that the Soloman Brothers Building (WTC 7) had collapsed even though it was allegedly visible in the background. After posting this on Facebook as a curiosity, I was contacted by a friend who had been following 9/11 truth for some time. I began my own informal research effort studying internet materials, tempered by my understanding of scientific phenomena and engineering principles. The more I researched, the more it became clear that the official story was not believable, and much of the 9/11 truth information was very plausible and realistically a much more likely explanation of events. There is much evidence to consider: eyewitness accounts of explosions, large volumes of molten metal observed streaming from at least one building both before and after its collapse, large quantities of residual heat, discovery of steel microspheres, discovery of unreacted thermite, the physics of free fall requiring zero vertical support and thus requiring ALL steel support columns to be severed simultaneously, no history of modern steel building collapses due to fire, WTC 1, 2 & 7 all collapsing in a similar manner despite differences in building structure and in structural damage, black smoke indicating a lack of oxygen and a relatively cool fire apparently not hot enough to melt steel in the volumes observed, the buildings being designed to withstand airplane impact of 10% higher kinetic energy, evidence that the government ignored warnings, and so much more... I believe the evidence supporting the case for controlled demolition is overwhelming. There are also compelling means, motive and opportunity for nefarious elements in government to carry out such an attack. At least one experimenter with videos on youtube has shown that a thermite charge placed on a steel bolt is an effective and efficient means of destruction, and offers a plausible explanation of events, and is consistent with the WTC evidence.

I do not believe the official story whatsoever. There is ample evidence indicating a conspiracy has occurred. Evidence includes scientific testing of dust showing thermite like chemicals found at the site. Also, the buildings, including number seven, all fell with acceleration close to free fall indicating controlled demolition.

Judging the evidence presented in the video with what I knew from my study of structures in college and my technical knowledge obtained by working as an engineer for more than 30 years led me to the conclusion that a new investigation needs to be conducted to find the true cause of the World Trade buildings collapse.

The only possible conclusion from the evidence is that the U.S. government or some portion of it planned and executed the attack of 9/11 and did so for the purpose of establishing greater government surveillance and control of the population and greater financing and power of the U.S. military.

For several years I have wondered what brought WTC building 7 down. The free fall rate and the level roof all the way down seemed like something that would be impossible. The damage to the pentagon has also had me wondering about the real story. I do not believe the official report and this website has reinforced that view.

It is time that the American public be given the truth about the 9/11. When the evidence is examined and pieced together the official story falls apart. I support the call for a real and independent investigation into what really happened during the 9/11 events and cover-up, regardless of who the real perpetrators were. Once the truth has been established we can go about finding out who the actual perpetrators were.

Compelling questions still exsit relative to failures in our intelligence systems, military defenses, and to both, official post 911 investigations, i.e. Joint Congressional and the 911 Commission. Hopefully, a valid inquiry into the Trade Center destruction would begin an all encompassing revelation of all aspects of the 911 tragedy.

It appears there is more to the story than we know or are told. I recommend: Set up a panel (independent of Government) of experts who investigates and evaluates all the factors leading to this unfortunate disaster. The American Public and the entire world are entitled to know the truth. In this day and age, truth must prevail. A lot of innocent people have already been killed and incarcerated. The whole world is in much worse shape than it used to be. Therefore, it is important we know the truth about this extremely tragic incident of history.

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.

It doesn't take a very experience engineer to see that the collapse of the WTC towers, in the manner that they did, was simply impossible. Unlike the old days, the baffling collapse was widely recorded. After the initial emotional had had time to calm down, most people should have started to question how something clearly impossible according to Newtonian science and all engineering principles had happened before our eyes. Shockingly, that's not the case. In the short attention span of the modern world, unscrupulous politicians no longer need to answer valid questions with matching intelligence. They can simply wave it off as conspiracy theory, and the case is closed. If a majority of the population is happy with their irresponsible labelling and devious tactic, their story, however incredible and ridiculous, becomes official. This is a heartbreaking and dangerous trend. Is the USA returning to Galileo's time in a massive scale? Most people, including learned ones, supported the Pope's planetary fantasy regardless of objective evidence. In the case of 9/11, it is particularly ironic because unlike 16th century Europe, knowledge and mass communication are at an unprecedented height today. If the ludicrous explanations in the official report stand, there should be other consequences. First, something should be done to all the buildings in the US (and the world?) erected based on similar principle as the WTC towers. Should the building codes be revised accordingly to prevent recurrence? Second, similar collapse has never been observed anywhere else. Are they implying that American structural engineering is the most backward on this planet? Third, in the light of such a fantastic structural failure, is any research work being done in the universities to understand the mechanics of a major phenomena which appears to defy everything Newton taught us? The engineering questions can make a very long list. However, we seem to have entered a new Dark Ages.

On 9/11, I watched for 15 minutes (about 2:30 EDT), by then Osama bin Laden was already being blamed. I stepped away muttering, How could he be so stupid? This is exactly what Bush and crew have been waiting for. I then tuned the whole thing out for two and a half years until an interview on KPFK radio got my attention. For the next few months, I spent my free time reviewing the evidence. The collapse of the (3) towers as described by the official 9/11 story, if true, would be the first ever documented violation of the laws of physics and would undermine the foundation of all engineering disciplines. Another energy source must be present. Explosives is the only hypothesis thus far put forth that is consistent with all available evidence. The fossil record regarding 9/11 is both detailed and overwhelming. Explosives implies fore-knowledge, making 9/11 a false-flag psychological operation. A proper investigation and indictments are long overdue.

Being an engineer and a scientist I have been asking myself from some years now what the probability is of three highrise buildings collapsing under uncontrolled circumstances in exactly the same symmetrical fashion. After analysis of the evidence presented on AE911Thruth.org I have to agree that the official explanation is not the most likely one and that further investigation is needed.

Steel buildings don't just fall down. Nano-thermite evidence should be investigated.

The CIA told the US government there would be an attack, that was ignored.The planes should have been interecepted, but the defense appears to have stood down. The buildings' collapse appears to be controlled demolitions. They got their Pearl Harbor.

I have worked and an Electrical Engineer for Grumman Aerospace and Sedco Systems. I primarily worked on Aerospace RADAR systems.
I believe the 3 WTC towers were demolished. Planes could have not caused the Twin Towers to collapse without the help of explosives. The true evidence of government involvement is the fact that WTC 7 was demolished because it was the HQ of the NYC OEM (22nd floor) which contained all the security camera footage for the entire WTC complex and thus destroyed all the video evidence.

There is confusion in my mind as to how jet fuel could melt or deform a steel structure. I would like a real expert opinion as to whether or not this is the correct cause.

This incident forms the justification for the costly and never-ending War on Terror, and as such it is critical to know the truth of who was responsible. There exists a great deal of circumstantial as well as some physical evidence contradicting the official version - much more than enough to warrant a new, thorough, impartial investigation.

The evidence that the 3 WTC buildings # 1, 2 & 7 were controlled demolitions is clearly visible in any video of any of those buildings' collapses. It is a crime to America and its people that a thorough investigation has been suppressed and not done. We are losing our freedom one step at a time, and our collective failure as citizens of a free country to follow through on a valid 9/11 investigation was a huge step toward losing our freedom!

The available evidence points very clearly to controlled demolition. Most remarkable to me is the free-fall acceleration of all 3 towers, which every video camera that day documented. It cannot be refuted. This means that every single column provided precisely zero resistance (ie. zero support), all at the same time. This can only have been achieved through explosives/incendiaries. Again, this holds true for all 3 towers. Also, airplanes are designed to burn their fuel at as high a temperature as possible, for maximum efficiency. Jet fuel can not melt titanium or structural steel, let alone vaporize it. To suggest so is absurd.
