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.

Very concerned about how, and why WTC 7 came down. The amount of damage to the building prior to its collapse doesn't justify a full collapse into its own footprint. There is not enough main-stream media coverage on this building.

I am retired from Saudi Aramco where I was a Loss Prevention Engineer for 12 years. I conducted several major industrial investigations at Saudi Aramco. Previously I was an investigator with a forensics engineering firm in Kingwood, TX (1993-1997), a research engineer with Amoco in Naperville, IL (1985-1992), and a design engineer with UOP in Des Plaines, IL (1972-1981). (Between 1981 and 1985 I was at Northwestern Univ completing my MS and PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering.)
I was always more skeptical about the collapse of WTC7, i.e., as compared with WTC1&2 which pancaked down. WTC7 seemed essentially whole in its upper floors, as it fell, indicating failure of support columns lower in the building. However, after reviewing ae911truth films, I'm now no longer so sure about WTC1&2, i.e., thermite/thermate evidence. I certainly would support an unbiased thorough investigation. I would volunteer to be on it, but I have a strong bias after my years in the Middle East, i.e., very much anti-Israel, which could hurt the investigation.

If any body falling should reach -9.8m/s2 acceleration in vertical direction for any time interval during collapse( 1second)..there were no opposing forces to slow acceleration of collapse..thus deducing the supports of WTC7 were taken out before the -9.8m/s2 acceleration could be achieved..

I am 23 years old, I am a musician. I have been researching 9/11 for a number of years now, and have been active in the 9/11 truth movement for some time. It has essentially consumed my life, and I do my best to use my platform as a musician to spread the awareness to as many people as I possibly can.
First of all I want to say thank you so much to AE911 Truth, you guys have really given this movement the proper credibility it needs to move forward. You are all heroes, and I admire you deeply. As far as the collapses themselves go, I think it is fairly obvious just by simple observation with an open mind that these buildings could not have come down the way we were lead to believe. The uniform nature of the twin towers collapse, and the rapid speed at which they came down is enough to spark you interest. The basic laws of physics and conservation of energy prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that something else has to be involved. Building 7....it took me 6.5 seconds to realize that this collapse was not a result of a fire. Even if 25% of the building was caved in (which has been proven to be false) the straight down free fall acceleration collapse we all witnessed is still not possible without the use of explosives. This coupled with the fact that great men like Steven Jones and Niels Harrit have found nano-thermite in the dust makes the need for a new investigation the most essential issue facing humanity today. Thank you for all you do, never give up for there is no stopping an idea whose time has come.

I am a mechanical engineer with 28 years of engineering experience. I have approximately 20 years of experience in the nuclear power industry. I was involved with the development of the corrective actions department for Cooper Nuclear Station. I had extensive training in root cause investigations. I was involved in numerous investigations to determine failure mechanisms and contributing factors.
I performed a simple energy analysis that can be performed by anyone who has taken high school physics or mathematics. The calculation shows WTC 1 & 2 did not contain sufficient potential energy to cause a progressive gravitational collapse. My calculation takes the entire mass of the building and distributes it evenly on every floor. This is overly conservative since the mass per floor is greater at the bottom because of the heavier structural columns. I also did not deduct any mass for any material that fell outside of the building footprint. Only material falling within the footprint of the building could have caused damage to a lower portion of the building. The energy of material that damaged surrounding buildings was not available to damage lower portions of the WTC 1 or 2. The energy calculation was based on the building material releasing its potential energy (the only energy available for destruction) by falling all the way down to ground level. The pulverized concrete released its energy very slowly as it drifted to the ground and was not available to destroy any building structure below it. - - My calculation shows that if all of the potential energy contained within the Tower was transferred to all of the surface area of all of the Tower floors, they would only be subject to 1,200 ft-lb/sq-in. Hardly enough to pulverize all the concrete let alone destroy all the structural steel columns and supports. This is why structural steel buildings do not simply fall due to gravity alone. Additional energy had to be involved to cause the destruction that was observed. Controlled demolition is the only possible explanation. The laws of nature cannot be violated. - - The WTC 7 free fall also violates the laws of nature.

I have over ten years experience as a Consultant Engineer and am now the Director/owner of an Engineering and Architectural metalwork company. I have worked for three consultancies prior to starting my own business and have designed buildings up to 9 stories high.
Where to start! It is patently obvious to those who have not been brainwashed by the main stream media that the towers could not have failed as the official narrative tries to describe. Thought of the explosive nature, the speed, the symmetry and many other points too numerous to mention must surely lead us to some ask some very searching questions on what really happened?

Recently 911 truth finding has caught my attention. WIll become active in spreading the word in China and in my home country New Zealand. I am teaching here in Beijing students who will go to Western countries so I will make sure that I spread the word to them and all my friends and family about this issue.
Absolutely no doubt about the conclusive scientific evidence and cover up. Until an independent inquiry is undertaken this issue will never go away. I hope this will come sooner rather than later so we can prevent any further repercussions of blaming innocents who had nothing to do with the attacks.

I am not an engineer or architect. I'm just an average Joe. I work in retail and live a normal life (whatever that means). I never graduated from high school nor went to college. I worked at an occult shop for a year and I met some interesting people that were affiliated with certain occult groups in high places. I am not happy with their intentions. I am a loving conscious being that loves humanity and I want to do everything in my power help these poor people find some light in their hearts.
I remember in April of 2001 I was watching a series on the Discovery channel about controlled demolition and the science behind it. As you can expect once I saw the Towers come down something inside me did not feel right. Because of what I learned on the Discovery channel, and before the official story was hammered into our psychology, I immediately new the planes and the fires that resulted from them were not the reason the Towers came down.

I am an American, educated in California, where I have spent my much life to date. I work in technology and while I enjoy reading technology related material, much of my personal library is of political nature. I have family in New York City and Connecticut and have been back there many times.
I recall reading, prior to 9/11, that the WTC was of inefficient design for modern offices and full of asbestos. The collapse seemed strange at the time but when the EPA claimed that the air was safe, I thought something is very wrong here. After absorbing much information, there appears to be compelling evidence to suggest that everything is not as it seems.

I had a 2 yr course in welding in a vocational welding class in high school. Years later I put it to use when I went to work for Thrall rail car and then Morton metal craft, a total of 13 yrs. I did a lot of cutting through those years involving different processes and gases.
I have watched a lot of interviews and videos and the official report just does not add up. I can clearly see the explosions going off as the towers collapse. Working with red hot metal a lot I have a good idea of its characteristics. There is no way a pile driver effect could cause such a collapse. Heat transfer would have had to be enormous to weaken the structure all the way down and there is nothing to support that that kind of extreme heat existed. Then you have building 7 falling straight down with no resistance.

No bio just a concerned observer ......... Very much an issue / event I have followed since inception among my many concerns is the way websites disappear. There have been many over the years that I have book marked and then come back to some time later to find they have vanished! Really hoping that that is not going to be the case here!!
it is a physical impossibility for three buildings to collapse to the ground completely destroyed due to weakening of the structures by fire alone

No technical architectural or engineering experience, but have researched the events of 9/11 extensively and am convinced by fact, logic and common sense that events didn't completely follow the official line and that this should be re-assessed.
I lived in the United States for 3 years and watched with extreme sympathy the History Channel version of the collapse of the WTC towers. I was shocked, therefore when following the story of Colleen Rowley, that I came across stories that varied from the official Bush Administration's story. Further investigation drew me to A&E for 9/11 Truth and it was the technical and scientific data with regard to the collapses (which had looked suspicious on the day, but was eclipsed by one's shock and horror at the situation), that persuaded me that it is entirely necessary that a new investigation be undertaken.

It was irrefutable to watch the towers come down at the speed of gravity in dust, not by 2 planes full of gasoline but controlled demolition which I have seen in the past to bring down high rises in their own footprint.

I have been active in political issues for two decades.
I attended Cal Poly and heard a speech on this issue as well as read articles on the issue of implosion of the twin towers. As an interested person on the subject, I believe the twin towers were not 'downed' by airplanes, but rather by implosion. I heard the talk by the University of Utah Physics professor on the subject of building implosions and how one MUST conclude that the buildings did implode.

Well a friend of mine told me about Loose Change video a few years back. I watched it then blew it off saying conspiracies are for nut jobs. Well, while I was doing some soul searching for answers to many issues dealing with religion and what we were taught growing up through schools, I was taken back about how humanity has been duped for many years in a number of areas. I grew up in Philly, PA and saw quite a few controlled demos including The Veterans Stadium and a high-rise apartment complex come down. After seeing the cut marks on one standing center beam, melted, and on a precise angle, I started to get concerned, and looked for more evidence. The few videos I have seen on this topic, and similar ones that lead to the Federal Reserve Act being passed, then our push into WW1 and WW2, I am convinced we need some sort of new leadership. These politicians we have been allowing to control our thinking and the way we live are just lining their pockets with money and enslaving us via DEBT. I am now under the understanding that the extremist Muslims most likely had no involvement in this act as it was too precise and needed special clearance that would have taken weeks to set up the charges in the towers.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been very profitable for a few companies. Government and corporate relationships have become inappropriate and there has been war profiteering on both sides. We need to abolish the Federal Reserve, and keep America sovereign. the government must be representative of the citizens and not the powerful corporations who now hold their allegiance.
I believe that this event was planned in advance with the for knowledge of the government of the united states and that there is evidence to support this. An investigation needs to take place to determine the level of involvement that the US government played in the 911 attack, and determine those involved.
