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 realized, after 2 hours of watching and listening to TV on 911 about the events at the WTC, that the discernible facts were not as described by the frivolous official statements and later stories. However and by whomever the actions were carried out and the patsies recruited, it was totally different than the official statements concluded and reports indicated. My current conclusions, based upon extensive reading, historical comparisons, physical and chemical analysis, discussions, lectures, and the viewing of available videos, as well as the political, military, and financial policies that have been undertaken since 911, all support my initial assumptions about the 911 events.

I do not believe that the towers and WTC 7 could have collapsed in such a uniform manner, given the temperatures at which the jet fuel burned and the duration of time that had elapsed before they collapsed. Also, the presence of thermite in samples of building materials has not been fully investigated and resolved.

I am an American citizen who is deeply troubled by the active repression of truth in this country.
I am not an engineer or architect, but I will never subscribe to the idea that fire caused three solidly built skyscrapers to pulverize and chop themselves up. The simple science, which is easy to follow, allows for no such complete disintegration unless explosive demolition-type devices had been secured to key structural components prior to the 11th of September, 2001. In addition, the staggering amount of inconsistencies in the N.I.S.T. report, and the 9/11 Commission Report further the obvious notion that what we witnessed that day was no terrorist attack. We must not, cannot allow atrocities of this nature. Have we all gone blind? I beg my Fellow Americans, I implore you; learn more than just the official story. The more knowledge you attain, the more informed you are, the more powerful you become, and together we can wield this power in a mighty wave that washes away the corruption that infests Our Great Country, replacing it with the calm and soothing waters of true Freedom and Liberty for All. God bless America, my home sweet home!

Downright amazing Magic Jet Fuel; Multiple angle cut core column stubs sticking out of the rubble; It seems to me that the tritium gas from the exit sign ampules would tend to go up into the sky since it would be lighter than air; Bright flashes lasting about 1 frame each (30 frames per second) and occurring 1 or 2 frames before impact on both buildings #1 and #2 are clearly visible.

My knowledge was only of the Twin Towers collapsed not WTC 7 also. Upon viewing the video of WTC 7, I could clearly see that this was a controlled demolition; as well, as the twin towers. I am no longer convinced that the planes that crashed into WTC were the passenger flights the media informed us about. Unlike the repeated videos aired of the 2 planes crashing into the Towers, I have not seen pictures or videos of Flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon. On the contrary, I have only been able to obtain simulated pictures and videos of footage that shows no plane crashing whatsoever into the Pentagon.

I am not a structural engineer, but even I understand free-fall, and there seems to be a cover-up, for sure, IMO. And not forgetting WTC7, how can a building just drop to the ground like that , without the aide of controlled demolition techniques!

Studied Industrial Design/Interior Design, but always have had ongoing fascination with all things architectural. Declined to enter into architecture studies or career, partly because of 'status quo' forces. I am primarily a very curious novice.
The symmetrical collapses of WTC 1 & 2 always 'bugged me' from the start, the very first day. I heard of the imminent collapse of WTC 7 on radio news later that day, and also thought that was very 'odd'. I kept awaiting a thorough and cohesive structural explanation for how it all happened, but never did hear one forthcoming The more inquisitive I got, the more I followed the paths of other researchers online -skeptical of all at first- but I kept getting pulled-back into their lines of inquiry as more official story elements proved conflicting or extremely incredible. Gradually I had to accept the idea that yes, there are people who'd be happy to exploit the chaos/trauma of 'controlled demolitions' to launch a very broad, global agenda. There is no turning back from this conclusion.

Degreed engineer, concerned citizen and vigilant truthseeker. We WILL put this case together eventually and bring them to justice.
Occam's razor definitely applies here: the idea of a controlled demolition meets all the existing evidence of how the towers (all 3) came down. The ridiculous notion of jetfuel fires melting the steel is suspect enough, but more obvious is the lack of any resistance from the massive steel core columns on the way down, and the lack of any remaining core after collapse. Freefall speed of collapse. Molten pools of iron weeks later. The rubble had NOTHING but handy machine sized chunks of steel..no long members.

Well I have no experience in any field that could be of significance to say anything I'm just concerned with the government of America however I do know the truth when i hear and see it.
I have to agree with the experts when they say it came down by demolition I can see the squibs clearly which I think is enough for me but when the molten lava part came I was shocked how they could say theres no footage no eye witnesses but my eye witnessed this molten steel pouring from the building. How could two buildings designed for the impact of a plane both crumble to the ground at a free-fall pace especially if the fires weren't hot enough to melt the steel? How could anyone believe that the fire was above 1100 degrees celsius? The experts that say that the fire still weakened the building do not explain the presence, discovery, observation, and collection of the previously molten-metal microspheres and unreacted thermite.

Have worked in concrete construction for years, on Staten Island, coincidently with my friend Bobby who actually did work on the towers foundations. And in my humble opinion concrete doesn't atomize like that. Many a morning I walked from the path train through those buildings @ 5.30am on my way from Hoboken to work.
