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 am a Senior Materials Engineer in the offshore oil and gas industry in the UK and Norway sectors of the North Sea and I have over 20 years experience - Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering and Masters degree in Offshore Engineering.
Even at the temperatures of building fires, the steel of construction could not lose sufficient strength to collapse under a partial structure load as is evidenced by 15 and 29 floors weight for each respective twin tower - the design load factors are simply too high to permit such failure. If mechanical failure were to occur, it would have occurred almost instantly and certainly asymmetrically.

The official report describing the cause of the collapse of the three structures at the World Trade Center seems to reach conclusions not based on the evidence presented and does not address evidence that does not support the conclusion. It is not credible. Many actions, costing many lives and billions of taxpayers money have been initiated based on the story repeated in that report. The American People, and the people of the world, deserve a thorough review of all the relevant data and facts and an open analysis and conclusion from a reputable and diverse professional group. Please find the courage to support revisiting the facts surrounding the collapse of the buildings on 9/11. Thank you.

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

President Bush declared this to be the pivotal event of the new century. The event is used to justify two wars that have lasted longer than WW II. The official explanation is inconsistent with physical evidence.

Clearly, the buildings fell by controlled demolition. Buildings don't just magically fall down into their own footprint. The nano-thermite in the dust from the collapse is proof.

I have a BSEE from Virginia Tech. I watched the towers fall. I heard the official story, and it was clearly a lie. I demand a new investigation. How can we whitewash the deaths of 3000 people, then use their deaths as an excuse to invade and ruin multiple sovereign states? Ridiculous travesty.

I've been involved in numerous accident investigations. I'm known for concise, thorough, unbiased investigations with a personal determination to get to the bottom line despite initial outward appearances.
I have questioned the official explanation from the beginning, because the video-graphic evidence did not support the story line. It was clear to me from the beginning that the twin towers were imploded. Further, there is no engineering evidence that Building #7 would fail catastrophically from fires. It is my opinion that a third plane was scheduled to hit Building #7, but crashed in Pennsylvania instead. The implosion and subsequent lack of reporting raises too many questions to be ignored!

I, as I hope many other colleagues in the architecture and engineering fields, am sick every time I think about the tragedy that occurred on 911. I want the truth, I want there to be an independent and transparent investigation of the crimes that were committed on 911. I want to bring people back to reality, back to thinking and start the discussion of what really happened on 911. I support all individuals who are courageously stepping forward and showing their patriotism by demanding the truth.
The 911 collapses were a sham and it pains me to think how so many Americans continue to act like sheep and never question what, although was a tragedy, was simply not possible via the forces of nature.

Patriotic American citizen with eyes in his head and common sense, with every reason to be skeptical of totalitarian government black ops and psyops and their conspiracy cover up theories.
All evidence points directly at controlled demolition and government and media foreknowledge. Qui bono? All evidence points at the true perpetrators, the two main targets being peaceful innocent countries and peoples in the middle east and the American people and nation. Bringing to light and justice the true perps is urgently needed to save our nation and reestablish its independence and freedom.

The abundance of evidence presented by Dr. David Ray Griffin, Dr. Stephen Jones and the numerous scientists from A& E for 9/11 Truth, has given me to believe that a thorough investigation into the events of 9/11 is a necessity to the future of freedom and justice in the World. The analysis of the speed-of-collapse videos, the videos of orange molten metal spewing from the side of the tower, and the video records of molten metals at the bases of all three collapsed towers additionally reveals scientific truths that have yet to be officially acknowledged.

I would like to volunteer my web skills to this organization to help bring this issue and all the ramifications it has created to a fulfilling closure.
I am not a conspiracy theorist and never have been. I had heard before from people that they believed our government was behind this and scoffed at the outlandishness of the idea that our government would deliberately kill our own people and commit treason against the country they vowed to protect. In the last month or so I decided that I would look on you tube and find out why people felt this way. After watching just a few videos I was absolutely floored, nauseated and angry at the same time. I started looking for groups that were involved or wanted to make a change. I chose this group for two reasons. The first being that so many of the other groups are not recently active. The second reason is because I feel that your group with its technical expertise and ability to present the information on such a technical level gives you a stronger voice than so many others.

I have too many questions about 9-11. I want an investigation so the real terrorists can be prosecuted. The American department of defense is creating new terrorists on Guantanamo. Stop the illegal wars!
I don't now the truth, but I have a lot question marks about the way America took action after 9-11. Why did the case of Monika Lewinski get such a big research, which compared to 9-11 was a laugh, when there are hundreds of thousand people being killed for only the illegal reasons. Stop the war!

It is pretty sad when the untrained eye can see the obvious. This needs to be pushed until the rats are smoked to the surface. Too many innocent lives lost not to. Even one life is too many. These tyrants need to be exposed.

I work as a carpenter in the construction trade and have seen what fire does to a steel structure. I have seen steel beams bend or sag from fire but never saw a steel building fall due to fire. I have participated in protests against the war in Iraq because I believe 9/11 was used by the Bush administration to justify it. I also believe 9/11 was use to diminish my civil liberties and the civil liberties of the people of the United States of America and personally . . . I don't like it!
In 2006 I was very surprised to see a video of the WTC 7 collapse on the internet. I was lead to believe by mainstream media that it suffered so much damage from the fire started by the WTC 1 & 2 collapse that it fell on its own. The videos I saw of its destruction looks like a planned building implosion. I'm assuming that it takes a fair amount of time to rig a large steel building for a controlled demolition, even more if it is to be done without public knowledge and far longer than the seven hours it took for its collapse after WTC 1 & 2 came down. This suggests to me that demolition charges were set in WTC7 well before 9/11. Why? A video of Jane Stanley from the BBC shows her reporting the Solomon building destruction 23 minutes before it happened. Why? The 911 commission report about WTC7 completely ignores the subject. Why? I am not a conspiracy proponent. I ask and see questions being asked about the official explanation and now find inconsistencies in the official explanation of what happened on 9/11.

Something is very inconsistent with the official story. WTC 7 fell so perfectly straight down as if all vertical structures failed at the same time. So many other things seem so unlikely that another investigation is warranted. An open mind is all that is needed.

I have an Associate in Specialized Technology Degree in Electronics Engineering from which I have learned to base my assumptions on the outcome of an event on the precise facts of the input of the event. I am also familiar with the Scientific Method and it's uses.
I'm suspicious of the lack of debris such as office content. The lack of accumulative time of fall due to the additive affect that pancaking would of caused by each floor. The explosions prior to collapse are also suspicions. I'm also suspicious of the lack of independent chemical analysis. To sum it up, the investigation appears to have been kept IN HOUSE. We demand an investigation independent of interests biased to the U.S. government.

There is not question in my mind that the demolition of the Twin Towers along with Building 7 were professionally executed by a group of individuals. That group has done a careful job of hiding their identity because they are the same group that controls our media and deliberately keeps the truth from the general public in order to place a blindfold over the eyes of humanity. It is completely up to us, the general public to wake up and critically analyze any information we are given by those we call our authority. If we want something done about it, if we want to see our world change from ignorance to awareness we need to take it into our own hands with no fear. If you give into fear, they have already won and you have relinquished your right for a free world.
