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've been a building contractor for 30 years. Modern skyscrapers are not designed to fall from the sky as World Trade Center 7 did. Nor do they encounter structural failure and collapse from fire. This is nonsense.

I am a New Zealand registered architect with 35 years experience which includes being involved in the construction of several high rise office towers. The structural engineering explanation on how the Twin Towers could not collapse in the way they did by just being hit by airplanes makes a lot of sense to me. The columns would need to be taken out at the base (bomb sabotage in the basement) for the buildings to collapse like a deck of cards, in the way they did
I read the book Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert which gave a very plausible investigation of what possibly happened and who the players possibly were. Proving these terrorist acts is a real challenge as so much of the evidence has been destroyed or discredited. For me an inside job was required to pull it off in the military precision we all witnessed. The motive gave the Bush administration the reason to invade Iraq, (deja-vu for Pearl Harbour) as the Americans do not like going to war

I have watched many documentaries about 9/11 and am convinced that independent investigations regarding all incidents that occurred on Sept 11, 2001 are needed. I believe the 3 towers that collapsed at the World Trade Center were all brought down by pre-planned controlled demolition. I demand that the US government assist with an independent committee by turning over all information it has kept secret. I demand that the investigation committee have full subpoena powers. I demand all parties found to be involved with the planning and execution of any illegal activity be prosecuted and punished to the full extend provided by law.

I feel that this is a man made disaster and a botched cover up. I have no idea how anyone can consider this to be a disaster caused by two aircraft. This is another hoax and a fraud. Also I suspect that a lot of financial records where destroyed in these buildings.

I'm interested as a citizen. I've been looking at the compilation of information that has accumulated over the last seven years and as a citizen am convinced getting at the truth of what happened is critical to the health of this country as a viable democracy and force for good on the planet.
It's clear to me, as an objective observer of the work of Richard Gage and others, is that the buildings could not have come down from the impact and subsequent fires from the plane crash. There is compelling evidence - both historical, structural and chemical, that tells us this is simply not possible.

I am a retired sales manager. My structure knowledge is limited to those of truck bodies and trailers. But I know how to build strong shelving. It does not take an engineering degree to appreciate, that at least the demolition of WT7 was a controlled demolition. I leave it to the experts to determine if the collapse of WT1 and 2 towers were also controlled or not, which I believe they were.

There is at least enough evidence to warrant in independent investigation specific to the possibility of charges being set in the towers. Sadly, this will likely never happen because the govt would be concerned that the public wouldn't take the info well. It will be kept quiet, just like the 300 Japanese balloon bombs that hit the US in WW2, and the fascist coup attempt in 1936.

The truth is so obvious, that it cannot simply be ignored. The official investigations and explanations are so woefully inadequate-to put it mildly- that I cannot accept them. I WILL be part of the grassroots movement to shed light onto a very dark episode of world history. Rivers of molten metal, building that weren't even hit by anything falling at nearly the speed freefalling objects, are just two of the major problems with the (lack of) current explanations.

I am an Applied Mathematics student at the University of Waterloo in my 3rd year and I have been studying the collapse of the world trade center buildings for about a year now.
After reading and doing plenty of my own research, I find it hard to believe that buildings 1 and 2 could be pulverized into dust by fire. That is basically what the official story is. There is no way in my mind that that two steel framed buildings, built as the trade center buildings were, could possible collapse due to fire; let alone be pulverized into dust. As for building 7. The use of demolitions on building 7 can all but be guaranteed. From seeing how tiny the fires were that supposedly caused the building to collapse, to the way the building collapsed. Please investigate this to the full extent that is necessary to bring the appropriate people to justice.

Do you wonder why you don't ever see replays of Building#7 falling in the major media? The answer is that any 3rd grader can see by watching this video that the building did not fall down from fires. So who is the major media protecting, and why? We must all spread the word and demand the truth!

There is no way that anyone can sit there with the facts right in front of them, watch the towers fall, and deny that there was any other aid of the demolition of the buildings other than just jet fuel. It is physically impossible. Jet fuel does burn hot enough to melt reinforced steel. No plane hit building 7, but there was still molten metal in the foundation 500 degrees hotter than jet fuel, weeks after the collapse, just the same as buildings 1 and 2 that were struck by a plane. The buildings fell at free fall speed, about 10 floors per second. There is no pancake theory that can make that possible. I know a Newark Cop that was on body detail for three days after they fell, he picked up body parts and put them into buckets, bodies blown apart into pieces. Explosives blow things apart, pancakes squashes things. People need to open their eyes and stop being so naive that our government is only out to us good, because if they don't figure that out soon, it will be too late to stop them from taking away our freedom.

Unfortunately (due to mass media) most don't know or realize that 3 buildings fell (at the rate of no resistance) that day. Larry Silverstein admitted he received a call to pull it regarding the 3rd building number 7. So if that building was pre-wired with explosives then I feel confident that the others were also judging by the way they fell.

I'm not an engineer or architect, but I strongly support the attempts for a fully independent investigation of 9/11.
After years of seeing the profound evidence that contradicts the official story, it is so obvious that this worst crime of the century, whose crime scene evidence was barely looked at--then destroyed!-- by officials, MUST BE independently investigated and those involved in what really happened that day and before must be brought to justice.

25 years of experience in the Federal Government [Canada] managing major office buildings and their tenants. Although I am a generalist, I have dealt extensively with building fire safety issues, and am well acquainted with the technical issues raised in the AE 911 Truth slide show presentation.
The clarification of what actually took place on 9-11 is most important for eliminating fear and irrationality from decision-making. The official story has been supported and is maintained just like a Disney cartoon, where, as long the character or action is consistent with the rest of the fantasy, we grant it a measure of reality; but if someone starts asking scientific questions about flying children or talking animals, that is entirely out of place and hence unreal. A similar mental framework easily takes over a government hierarchy. I have questioned government architects and engineers who have not considered just how impossible it is for kerosene to convert concrete into fine powder; yet we depend on them for critical life safety decisions. I have questioned otherwise fine Christian people, who lose their grip when I explain to them that the official story is impossible. For healthy discussion and correct decision making it is necessary to rid ourselves of this most palpable untruth.

Only the free fall is a question that don't match the building nr 7s damage. What happened. is a clear demolition of that building ! That's the only way to bring down a house of that kind, that fast. 600 Celsius degrees 6 weeks later at the core of ALL buildings is not possible for WTC 7 ! And all fell in there one footprints ! No No No never before never after will that happen again.

After much investigation of the academic literature, I am reasonably convinced that the 911 Building Collapses were the result of demolition. As to who might be ultimately responsible, I still want to see further investigation by either Congress or an independent body of qualified persons. It is incredible that a legitimate full forensic investigation has not been conducted. It was a criminal act and needs an appropriate criminal investigation.
