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.

I have seen several books and films on 9/11 events as well as seeing the events on the day of. - - The WTC and building 7 collapses appear to be a controlled demolition exercise. - - (I smelled a rat when the White House tried to head off an investigation of 9/11 events. It seems that the Administration engineered a broad cover up.) - - In spite of the fact that much evidence has been destroyed, a new, fresh investigation of 9/11 events and related matters is now required.

I belong to a community of workers that has over 50 years of experience building nearly all of New York City's high rise buildings, including the World Trade Center.
I have found that any person with experience in construction, when presented with the facts, is led inexorably to conclude that the official story given on 9/11 is a patchwork collection of reverse scientific method pseudoscience. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth promotes a much more rigorous scientific account of the events on that tragic day than our government has offered us, apparently relying on the American people's ignorance of structural engineering and promoting a consensus in the engineering community that doubting the official story will compromise their career.

Abdul Rasheed is a recent graduate from UK University. He always had a passion for electronics and that motivated him to get a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Bhopal, India) to understand the basic concepts of any engineering field. After completion of the bachelor degree, he gained experience in Industrial Automation and Project Management of power plant renovation and modernization. Due to learning curiosity, after the gap of 3 years, he pursued Master of Science in Advanced Electrical and Electronic Engineering from (Leicester, UK). There he gained an in-depth understanding of industrial machine and 'system engineering and spacecraft systems'.
Based on the evidence available and the knowledge of engineering, it is concluded that WTC destruction was a planned demolition, conducted by powerful authorities who have the access to the building and explosives supply. Further investigation needs to be conducted and moreover, the US Government has the duty to provide all the available evidence to the experts for examination.

It's the 9/11 news feed with (in ratio) most followers. I'm aiming at a critical non-biased audience. The website http://waarheid911.com is based on a journalistic approach. Both initiatives do fully support all efforts made by AE911Truth.
Evidently all the three towers fallen on 9/11 did not just collapse under the weight of their own damaged structures. The combination of two basic facts, the very first collapses in history of these kind and the optical proof that these collapses did not just happen by the force of gravity alone, should have been a huge demand for the most thorough investigation in the sake of truth and peoples safety in history. But in stead, they first refused to investigate and later they frustrated the investigation that was forced by organized family members of those who died on 9/11. Now, what can be more contradictory than that?

Four academical degrees in various disciplines of engineering and science, a wide background in Aerospace and in Applied Math, in particular Dynamics. Also, background in flight dynamics and had a private pilot license. Worked as a research scientist.
If the official story is true, I have to return all my academical degrees and burn my professional books - the story contradicts basic physics, engineering, probability and common sense. Just two (out of many) examples: 1. Building 7, a steel-framed, earthquake- sustainable, that collapsed with no apparent reason. 2. Three buildings, two were hit and one not, collapsed at the same perfectly symmetrical pattern, and all fell down at almost g-acceleration, collapsed into their footprint - a classical pattern of controlled demolition. The joint probability for those three independent events is almost null.

The official stories are just impossible to believe, the exact same failure/collapse on three buildings, only two having been even struck/damaged. Falling in free fall into their own footprint (path of greatest resistance!). In fact, in Structural Engineering classes at Montana State, the scenario of an airliner hitting one of the WTC Towers was actually studied, (and determined to be safe). The professor discussed that this scenario was actually considered in the design of the towers, and they were designed to withstand it.

No building, nor any other structure, would fall symmetrically when hit from one direction. It would tip over because of gravity. When we watched the collapse of the two towers I did not think so much about it. But when building 7 collapsed the way it did I got vey suspicious. Good to see that some colleagues have discovered the conspiracy.

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

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.

9/11 was a crime and it should have been treated like one. A proper criminal investigation should have taken place.

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 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.
