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.

When I learned this May (2010) about the collapse of WTC7 on 9/11 2001 from watching the video footage from CBS and NBC of its collapse, I thought (and still think) that the collapse was due to a controlled demolition, and when I learned (a few days after I watched the videos) that the official story attributes the collapse to fires, I was ALARMED by the SHOCKING discrepancy between the videos and the official story! My conscience simply does not allow me to ignore this discrepancy.

The evident demolition of WTC 7 on September 11th 2001, is the sore spot of one horrific day that strongly suggests that all three individual attacks on the United States need to be re-investigated. It is almost a treasonous act not to ask why WTC 7 is not included in the so called 'official' 911 commission report. It is like entering a crime scene and leaving the murder weapon with all finger prints out of the official report.

I'm a materials engineer and I studied at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I worked in materials testing for Dorbyl Ltd and the Atomic Energy Corporation, then I moved to the UK. Since then, I have been developing software for materials testing specialist Instron Corporation and others.
I appeal to the lay person's common sense and day-to-day experience of how our physical world functions. Most people have seen footage of controlled demolitions; they are reminiscent of the behavior of the falling WTC structures. There are some serious unanswered questions in this regard. In addition, as a materials engineer, I know that steel and reinforced concrete buildings do not 'collapse' in the range of temperatures and time of exposure experienced by the WTC structures. I find the official explanation unsatisfactory and patronizing.

I have NO DOUBT that from the physical evidence, and engineering principles, that none of the WTC buildings came down solely as a result of the plane intrusions. It is my opinion that the evidence of an 'inside job' is so prevalent, and so sloppily carried out , that the perpetrators, are ASKING TO BE CAUGHT ! By being so SLOPPY, the perpetrators are inviting us to end the decades of 'behind the scenes/inside job manipulations' that have enslaved so many. Let's honor their subconscious request !

I was 13 at the time when WTC collapsed and I had no reason not to believe the information media were providing me. But as I went to study architecture and started to receive the basic knowledge of building mechanics and materials, I realized that buildings like these can't be this fragile and that the official story is truly doubtful. New, proper investigation is necessary.

The video analyses provided create a serious question (if not PROOF) of a inconsistancy in what the public has been told and what actually happened. The symmetry and speed at which not just two - but 3 buildings collapsed points to controlled demolition which is not able to be accomplished without significant planning, preparation and execution. There are many inadequately answered questions.

I was born and raised on the farm. For the last 41 years I have worked as a machinist. After seeing the treachery of Pres. Nixon I became very interested in what was happening to my country. The more I read and search the intent of our Founding Fathers, the more I realise that todays leaders are not following our Founding Fathers at all. There are a few exceptions, such as cong. Ron Paul. He is a true Statesman.
I have become more & more aware that there is something wrong with the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings. After viewing the DVD of AE911truth.org I'm convinced that we are being lied to by the government.

Ever since viewing this event on T.V, I had complete doubt that a plane could do that much damage to three buildings. Especially to building 7 which was not even hit by a plane. I have watched many demolition videos and this seems all too similar. There was no way that those buildings could fall within 10 seconds without the use of explosives. Finally there is something I can do to voice my opinion about this matter. I would very much like to find out what really happened. I hope the parties involved with the demolition of those buildings are put to justice. Killing all those innocent people is wrong.

Within 24 hours of 9/11 I had an article in my in-box that told me that the FBI was being housed in a hotel, in advance of the incident; suspicions were aroused within 24 hours of the tragedy. Truth always arises, and there is absolutely nothing hidden that shall not some day come to the surface. Was this a political ploy? I've read much to support that it was something that was pre-arranged by the government. Do I believe it? I believe anything is possible and that with power, well sometimes greed takes over and we lose sight of why we ran for office in the first place. People in power really need to guard themselves; it's so easy to get caught up in the momentum, the power!

Do they think we are complete idiots? It is obvious that the buildings did not collapse because of the planes alone. And the third building certainly did not.

As I watched the events that day I was in utter shock at what I was seeing. It kind of struck me as odd that both towers fell in nearly the same manner, but when I saw the WTC 7 fall, coming straight down like an elevator going down into the ground, I knew immediately that that building had been rigged with some kind of charges. I've seen too many shows about imploding buildings and I once watched an implosion in person. One of those they showed on TV didn't go off correctly and when the building met with the resistance of those floors that were still there, it fell to the side and did not come straight down as planned. So even if a fire could have weakened the steel in a few areas, it would have been impossible for the whole building to come down in perfect symmetry as WTC 7 did. It doesn't take much to understand how strongly these steel buildings are made. If they can take a powerful, direct hit from a large passenger jet, as these did, they certainly aren't going to crumble into small, manageable pieces under their own weight. Or as WTC 7 did, fall into it's own perfect footprint, in the way a demolition expert strives for.

There is no validated explanation for the collapse of WTC 7. WTC1 and WTC 2 also are suspect due to the speed and manner of collapse. The concentrated jets of debris shooting out of windows 30 floors below the collapse front cannot be explained by the pressure wave hypothesis involving a progressive collapse. There is no real evidence linking Al-Qaeda to 9/11. The audiotapes from the cockpit have not been released. There has not been an adequate explanation as to why the planes were not intercepted. Something is being covered up and we want to know what it is.

I also was a student in McMaster University's Engineering Physics & Management program for 2.5 years and I have a fairly well developed understanding of Newtonian physics, among other sciences.
The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 all defy naturalistic explanations. No collapse in history that was driven by natural forces has ever produced the characteristics seen on 9/11. Their symmetry, speed and totality fly in the face of every explanation offered by any supposed authority. The discovery by Dr. Steven Jones of iron micro-spheres indicating the use of an incendiary device, as well as what appears to be unreacted thermite, is extremely valuable evidence that has gone completely ignored. The current explanation offered by NIST is both incomplete and internally inconsistent. To this day, nothing approaching a complete forensic investigation has ever been performed. The public deserves better.

Well what can I say. I'm only 26, and have no real experience in forensics or demolition. I only know what my eyes tell me. I am a Union painter and work in and around large buildings all the time.
I knew even as I watched the building fall that morning that they looked quite odd falling completely into themselves. Not too long before it happened I got to witness a building in downtown St. Louis be imploded. Lets just say deja vu was an adequate description of how I felt. An independent not-partisan, un-biased investigation is long overdue.

I am 36 and do not have any technical educational experience, only my intuition and my quest for knowledge. My parents were in DC on 9/11 and my boyfriend was almost on the plane that supposedly crashed in PA. My signing of this petition is to support the research needed to bring the truth about 9/11 to the forefront of society instead of the corners that no one wants us to go in.
It is so clear that it is scientifically impossible for the Towers to have gone down the way the media and the government said they did. I knew the very day it happened. Since then, having listened to, read and watched video footage, I feel even stronger that foul play took place and the truth needs to be made public knowledge instead of more lies and cover-ups.
