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.

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

In my opinion, what happened at the WTC on 11 Sep 2001 cannot be the result of 2 planes slamming into the towers and 3 towers collapsing. If that version of the events, as described by the 9/11 Commission is true, then as engineers, we must immediately put an end to our activities, and proceed to bring down all the buildings in the world, as they are wholly unsafe. Furthermore, that is also an indictment on the education we received in applied physics.

To cut through steel to produce a free fall as these three buildings followed their own imprint, one would need a whole lot more exothermic heat than that supplied by mere flight fuel. That man-made THERMATE was found by chemical analysis and free-flowing molten steel lava was flowing for weeks after 9/11 reveals a FINGERPRINT that clearly identifies highly trained experts in the use of THERMATE & plastic explosives, eliminating the Muslims while finger pointing to an Inside Job ! To deny this after carefully reviewing the facts is to identify with the opposition against truth

There is a lot of compelling evidence in the fields of engineering and aviation to the fact that the official story of 9/11 is not true. Especially the collapse of WTC 7 in total free fall for 100 ft clearly shows that the building was not an isolated system: Energy (in the form of explosives/incendiaries) must have been added to hinder the supporting structure below from resisting the structure above). This can not happen due to a local failure in a steel structure. Once one of the many evidences gets you started it is impossible for people with some sense for righteousness to remain passive. The petition from ae911truth is a very good opportunity to speak up.

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from NCA&T and a MS in semiconductor physics from RPI. I currently work as a Patent Examiner at the US patent and Trademark office.
For the last 15 years, I believed much of the US government's account of the events of 9/11. However, after actually taking the time to do my own research I became aware of a number of troubling facts surrounding that day and the days leading up to 9/11. However, what really began to raise doubts in my mind was the way in which the towers fell. Although, I had seen the footage many times before, I decided to take a second look at the collapse of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 not from the emotional or human perspective but through the eyes of an engineer/physicist. What I had failed to notice, even as an observer trained to examine events based on the laws of physics, was that all three buildings fell at near free-fall speeds with little to no apparent resistance from the floors below. This is physically impossible without the use of some form of controlled demolition charges. This realization shook me to the core and forced me to reaccess my world view and the version of history I had been given. I add my voice today to the many other scientist and engineers who are demanding the truth in hopes that if enough of us voice our concerns based on factual evidence and professional observation that the whole truth might be disclosed.

This is a 2-hour rebuttal of standard explanation for why the Twin Towers collapsed after the planes hit them. Also brought to light is the fact that a third building WTC 7 went down, without having been hit by a plane. Very informative, delivered by an architect who founded Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Blueprint for Truth. Not polemical or conspiracy-hounded in any way. No culprits are theorized, and motive is touched upon quickly, this lecture and powerpoint slide show concerns itself solely with the forensic science debunking the possibility that the planes alone could have brought down these 3 buildings.

I have been a commercial carpenter in Los Angeles for 15 years. I have worked on some high rises, and my gut told me,no way those planes took those buildings down. The construction of a plane is no match for union steel and concrete baby, no contest. We are constantly cursing you A. & E.'s for your overkill in these buildings, I know first hand. I build them all the time. I don't think a plane could take a 10 story bldg. down, let alone a 110.

Clinical Social Worker with a lifelong interest in mathematics and physics. A few weeks prior to 9/11/01 there was a report of artists performing a prank by removing one of the windows in one of the towers and installing a temporary balcony. It was reported as a dangerous performance art stunt. It was strange and I was always puzzled by it. It never made sense to me. The speed and precision with which the buildings fell is improbable. When I saw the buildings fall on television my immediate thought was that there were explosives.

As an animation student whose childhood dreams included being an architect and designing impressive buildings, I was inspired by the CN Tower in my hometown of Toronto by it's engineering greatness. As my imagination favored the fantastical over the realistic, my journeys have brought me to the San Francisco bay area to study animation with the very best.
Like everyone around me, the event was a major shock, but I recall watching the footage with my best friend later that day and we remarked that it didn't look right at all. Even in the newscast, the small explosions were pointed out, but never mentioned again, which I immediately thought was suspicious.

I am a 32 year old man who has been employed in the commercial and residential electrical trade for the past decade. I am not a structural engineer, nor do i claim to have any expertise in this matter. What i do have, in spades, is common sense. It does not take a scholar to spot the inaccuracies in the official government narrative of 9/11. In fact, these doubts had arisen in me before i even realized there was an entire movement in action to expose this terrible injustice. After reviewing the evidence put forth by others, and doing my own amateur research, there are so many truths solidified in my soul about this day, that I will never be able to turn back.
Probably the most crucial evidence for me although there is enough to go around, is something I noticed myself, yet have not heard anyone mention yet. This is the fact that both buildings exploded at the site if impact just before the collapse initiated. When the explosions took place, they were bright balls of yellow flame, suggesting some type of accelerant. If this expulsion were caused by the onset of collapse alone, the expulsion would not have had a central core of burning anything, and would have been merely black smoke. Also, I find it ironic that the official government statement says that fire burned so hot for the time before collapse that it warped the steel beams. If you look at the video for both towers just before collapse, both are billowing thick black smoke. Anybody who has ever been camping knows that when a fire is starved for oxygen (i.e. burning out) it emits thick black plumes of smoke, just as the twin towers did.

I am 45 yrs old, mother of four, and a dental hygienist for 20 years. I have just recently gotten political because I have never been excited about a presidential race until now. A friend emailed information bout a new movie called Zeitgeist that totally opened my eyes about all the unanswered questions about 9/11. I heard Richard Gage on the Peter B. Collins show and ordered the video. I'm educating myself as much as possible and am spreading the word that we must insist on a new investigation into 9/11!
One of the most convincing arguments that the twin towers couldn't have collapsed from the pancake effect is that the top floors were being crushed from the top and therefore, could not have acted as a driving pile to crush the bottom floors. Also, I had not realized that no steel frame building has ever collapsed from fire before or after 9/11.

I speak German as a second language, and was alerted to the inside nature of the 9/11 attacks from my German friends. Germany is far ahead of USA in their knowledge of the truth about 9/11 and other myths. Because I am Mormon, I admire Steven E. Jones and his work. I have attended a few of his lectures on his research of use of thermate, and am impressed by the microspheres he has documented in the dust.
The two main reasons I base my doubts about the official theory of the WTC collapses are 1) the physical impossibility of a free-fall collapse, and 2) the existence of molten metal in the sub-basements of all three buildings. The official theory cannot explain these two simple phenomenon. Another aspect that is simply gruesome, is the small human bone fragments that were found on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building. If that many human bone fragments were found just on that roof alone, think of all the other human bone fragments that were floating all over NYC that morning in the massive clouds of pulverized concrete.

My personal observations of the building collapse were suspicious, When I later found out about WTC-7, and thought back to my self that I don't remember WTC-7 being talked about on the news, and if it was then I missed it. How could that be with all the coverage of all the other events surrounding that day. I only remember two buildings collapsing, the Pentagon, and the Flight 93 crash...so why did the media seem to 'forget' WTC-7? When I saw the video of WTC-7 falling for the first time, my suspicion grew and wondered 'if these buildings fell due to controlled demolition, how come experts are not speaking out?' Then years later we have Dr. Jones & others coming forward with thought provoking evidence and scientific analysis thank you all for your Heroic and Patriotic efforts to bring light to that dark day. This will help us realize Truth, and use it to fight true evil.

I am simply an American who wants the truth of 9/11 to be known. I believe that a public forum is the only way to convince the world of the truth.
Anyone who looks at the evidence truthfully will conclude that the events of 9/11 were the result of controlled demolition. Our government is covering up a conspiracy on the scale of Nazi Germany. We need an independent investigation and the evidence posted here is sufficient for a court trial.

I'm a conservative nonpartisan AM radio junkie. I first heard a spokesperson for AE911Truth on KGO radio, San Francisco in early March, 2008. I used to think the 9/11 conspiracy theorists were simply liberal whacked out loons. That was until I saw the footage of the collapse of Building 7, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Thank you for doing your part to expose the truth. We deserve to know what really happened.
Since finding this web site I've searched for as much unbiased information and footage of WTC 7 as I could find. I can only conclude that it is impossible for the 47 story steel framed structure to have fallen without the assistance of explosives.

Direct observation of the empirical facts clearly demonstrate the commission of crimes far beyond the wherewithal and capabilities of those who have been accused of the crime. These crimes were clearly an act of war! Using these crimes as motives to invade other sovereign nations is, in fact, High Treason. Our nation will continue to suffer unmitigated consequences until the light of truth is brilliantly shown upon these horrendous deeds. Politicians and media members apparent complicity to the obvious cover-up of these crimes must not be allowed to participate in the investigations to discover the truth and bring the guilty parties to face charges for their crimes!

Worked my way up through the ranks in manufacturing from manual operator, technician, senior technician, junior engineer, engineer, senior engineer to where I am now as a senior R&D engineer in the field of testing. I have worked mainly in High Capacity Telecommunications (MFG and R&D), Medical Device (MFG), and Security Systems (R&D).
Few people have tackled the issues and anomalies surrounding the building collapses with any real scientific vigor, and for that reason I have avoided the subject for several years. I am glad to say that I have changed my position in the last couple of years, and especially after coming across the work of AE911Truth. My suspicions began almost from day one and I can say with all honesty that if it wasn't for WTC7, I would likely never have disputed the official theory. Discovering Cooperativeresearch(.org) early on did nothing to allay my initial suspicions. A word of caution though, I would like to add. The How? of events like 9/11 often overshadows the other equally legitimate questions that need to be understood and studied, like Who? and Why?. Architects and Engineers should understand the context of this, and other similar events. I would recommend the following book, which is a published doctoral thesis; NATO's Secret Armies by Daniele Ganser (PhD) False flag terrorism is and has been part of the West's ideological toolkit for many decades. Understanding this gives new light to the inquiry of How?

I am not an engineer nor an architect, but I am a citizen and I pay my share of the taxes, and I want to know the truth about what really happened on 9/11. From what we have been told by our government
I do not know anything other than what they want us to know. I do find it very hard to believe that a building or should I say the Twin Tower buildings even though they were hit by planes and they were full of fuel should have collapsed the way they did. Or was it faulty design?

I believe 9/11 was inside job because G.W. Bush and Cheney needed an excuse to go into Afghanistan to build the oil pipeline. 9/11 was a psychological event made to scare U.S. citizens. This is all about oil. Our government is as corrupt as Adolph Hitler was. 4,000 U.S. Troops have lost their lives for a pack of lies. The war on terror is a Hoax. Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA during the Cold War with Russia.
There is no way that 3 steel framed buildings collapsed due to fire. Never before in the history of the world has that ever happened. That fire that was caused by the Planes hitting the WTC could never have burned hot enough to cause the Towers to fall at near free fall speed.

Of all the evidence that has been provided in regards to Sept 11, I have chosen a singular focus on Building 7. I believe here is the raw open wound the defies official explanation. If we focus on Building 7 and get to the truth on that issue, the truths about Bldgs 1 & 2, and the Pentagon will come tumbling out.

Lets not tolerate outrageous Conspiracy theories... Lets look at the obvious facts and the pictures that speak for themselves. All three buildings were taken down by controlled demolition.

I have no technical education but I do have common sense and anyone with a reasonable consideration of the facts will see that the official story is a farce.
The thing that sticks out in my mind is the way the three buildings came down. The collapse of the 2 towers plus building seven is completely consistent with a demolition. Then you factor in Mr. Silverstein's remarks that he gave the order to pull it, a demolition term to demolish a building, it becomes obvious that months, if not years, of planning went into this. There is no way to demolish a building with that kind of precision with explosives in a matter of hours.

I am a 56 year old working American. I live with my 25 year old daughter and 1 year old granddaughter in an urban neighborhood in KCK. I have a small amount of engineering experience as an Engineering Technician in highway construction working for the state of Kansas. I do not possess a degree but attended college for 2 years.
I was skeptical of the events of September 11th and the official story of the people responsible from the beginning. I was made aware of the physical evidence not matching the official explanation because I am a regular listener to our local independent, community radio station KKFI 90.1FM

I'm a construction foreman of over 30 years. I worked on steel and concrete construction, wood framing, metal framing and drywall, retaining walls and some bridge work.
I was fooled like everyone for a few years. I always thought that it was strange how the media hushed things up in a very short period of time. I thank God everyday for this great opportunity to get to the bottom of this.

This horrendous crime is 7 years too long without the actual truth. I truly believe when the facts are presented,it will open up a monumental can of worms!

I have a degree in the arts, but I do not think that this stops me from seeing with my own eyes the way that the buildings fell on 9/11, my degree in the arts is in crafts so I construct and build things all the time and I am not a fool, I am also studying to become a teacher and I would like to be a teacher of truth not lies and indoctrination. Hollow structures when impacting solid structures crumple and shatter they do not penetrate. As for the molten steel left behind at ground zero there can be no other explanation in my mind apart from high temperature explosives.
I always doubted the official media take on what happened that day of 9/11, I was at a friends house on that day when she got a phone call from her son telling her to switch on the T.V. So we then watched as events unfolded through the British media, I didn't believe the story then and I believe it even less now, after investigating video footage, watching Loose Change on my computer as I do not have a T.V. at home for which I am very glad that I have not indoctrinated my daughter with their lies. I have also educated her to the invention of the water powered engine and explained to her why she should raise this point the next time the so called education facilities try to tell her that we have global warming. It is total nonsense.

I am a 45-year-old female Delivery Driver for the Houston area. I spent some time in the music industry as a singer/songwriter, two years in college for technical training, raised one son, and served two years in the United States Navy.
After reviewing the videos provided by the media and eyewitness accounts in relation to the official report, it isn't necessary to debate whether or not an independent investigation is in order here. In my opinion, the American people will be robbed of great justice if this case is not reopened. All 3 buildings came down exactly the same with evidence of molten metal and 'V cut steel beams as signatures of thermite explosive activity. America isn't sleeping as one would presume in this case.

Just one more who has learned the truth and yearns for justice, it does not take a rocket scientist to know that these buildings were pulverized to dust...I have spent 5 years studying every possible angle and theories, I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind explosives were used.
The laws of physics were somehow subjugated not once but several times that day, whoever did this did not think it through.
