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 three WTC buildings fell at free-fall speed into their own footprints, classic intentional demolition via internally set explosives. Building 7 collapsed without significant damage from planes, or other obvious external sources. Several first responders including firemen reported explosions in building 1 and 2, including in the basements, prior to the collapse events. Combined with the prodigious volume of fine-grained dust (blown outward from the buildings, and the smoking gun of thermite residue analyzed from metal girder samples, plus persistent pools of molten metal beneath rubble (kerosene jet fuel cannot melt steel), highly suggest the intention demolition of WTC high-rise office buildings independent of external damage caused by aircraft collisions. The mainstream explanation of the WTC demolitions cannot explain away the above observations. A politically independent panel of experts must be convened to finally expose the truth of what happened to the WTC on 9-11-2001.

I have been very sceptical of the collapse of the WTC ever since that tragic morning of 9/11, when I watched on TV this horrific event unfold. A hot burning fire could never initiate such a catastrophic failure and collapse of the entire steel frame structure as was the one that occurred that day. Even if the structural damage of the impact and fire had initiated a failure of the support structure of the floors in question, then the failure would have been non symmetric, slow and gradual where the undamaged upper structure would have remained intact - a 'kinking' of the towers would have occurred. The video footage of the collapse that occurred that day is enough evidence to easily proof that a gravitational collapse of the entire structure due to fire did not occur that day (i.e. laws of physics are universal). Simple structural computer simulation and a finite element analysis could demonstrate this and proof without any reasonable doubt that the official story is incorrect. I would suggest that an accurate computer model be made available of the WTC Towers, so that students, professors and engineers around the world run the simulation and publish their results. The results should then be reviewed at an international conference of Structural Engineers and Architects and their findings made public. Any new official investigation of the event of 9/11 needs to be open to the public and transparent with international observers/media and experts present. We owe it to the victims and to our profession to get to the bottom of this quickly - let the cards fall where they may.

Windows on either side of the impact hole in the Pentagon wall where the wings should have crashed into were left intact.

There is still no plausible explanation of how three (WTC 1, 2 AND 7) steel girder framework high rise buildings vanished on September 11th 2001. If many of the skyscrapers in NYC are built similar to the WTC 7 building, NYC should be evacuated and completely rebuilt. For a comprehensive collection of 9/11 facts (in German) which have been concealed from the official 9/11 Commission Report, take a look at the following document: NebelCC

I have built homes, racing engines, racing boats and cars. I have seen the extreme temperatures that an everyday engine holds up to and the super extreme temperatures of a racing engine. Strangely, both types of engines have far lesser materials holding up to far more extreme conditions that that of a building on fire with kerosene. I have seen what a crashed racing boat and car go through and just know that anything bolted and welded together become bent, crumbled and distorted, not disintegrated.
Anyone who truly takes just 5 minutes to educate themselves on this matter, should have zero issues understanding the buildings were demolished by explosives. Thank you for all your help in bringing these lies to the public eyes.

The official story of the twin towers collapse has some possible plausibility, but to me the smoking gun is the virtual free fall of WTC building 7 which was not hit by a plane.

I am neither an Architect nor Engineer. I am an average hard working American citizen who wants our Government and those involved in the 9/11 cover up to be punished for their crimes. You can't dispute the scientific evidence of the WTC Building collapses. It's time for the American public to wake up and realize what is really going in this country Our Government is corrupt and full of criminals. If you don't stand for something, you'll far for anything.

There is too much evidence to ignore the probability of controlled demolition. The blatant disregard for the evidence and for scientific due process by NIST is evidence in and of itself.

I am fully convinced and of the opinion that the collapses of ALL 3 buildings on September 11, 2009 were controlled explosives. I do not know who, but I am not skeptical that the Cheney/Bush Administration, the CIA, and Economic Beneficiaries (ie: Blackwater, Haliburton, the Military Industrial Complex) were behind the controlled explosions of the WTC buildings.

I try to get as many people as I can to go to all of the truth movement websites Your proof with the buildings and your proof with the thermite is the best it is so obvious!
I have done my research online looked at both sides all the proof I could find. It is so easy to see what is true and what is lies . I have to side with you guys on this one the govt story is just not cutting it for me.

I'm not an architect or engineer. I'm simply someone with common sense who can look at the available evidence and clearly see that the government's story doesn't make sense. I have two years of College, worked as a pre-school teacher, and now work as a caregiver for elderly and hospice.
The government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) website: http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm says: ...the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. That means the explanation that the government gives for claiming that the horizontal beams stayed connected to the vertical beams, is only that them staying connected is what is required in order to explain the occurrence of the vertical beams getting inwardly bowed. So the government is asking us to believe that several floors near the top with weakened steel tied in with concrete floors sagged and pulled the vertical steel beams down through multiple floors of horizontal and vertical steel beams, all the way down to the ground at the speed of a free falling object. I don't have to be a scientist to know that there's no way the concrete floors could have inwardly bent all 236 vertical steel beams around the periphery along with the 47 massive vertical steel beams in the center of the Towers all the way down to the ground right into the building's own small footprint at free fall speed.

I just believe something is wrong...I am a believer in the truth and we are not seeing it...
It was a week before the towers and we were crossing the Vermont border and there was an unusual backup and my daughter and I noticed the addition of some serious equipment....we talked about what was happening and a week later, well it looks like they knew they would be changing ways forever...I have never believed Cheney was not involved and the Bush look when told is may god they did it...the truth will come out someday, not in my time but eventually and Americans may just wake up and stop believing the tooth fairy left the money.

I have studied, the collapse of WTC 1,2, and 7 very extensively on the internet ever since 9-11-01, and have concluded only that the official story is all but impossible. As an American I am left with uncertainty about my government. It seems to me that questions left unanswered have left voids filled by speculation. This speculation alone slowly eats at any trust I have for my government.

I'm a church musician in Germany and have no education in physics or engineering, but since I first saw the building collapsed in September 2001 I've often been thinking about the cause of it and, of course, all innocent people loosing their life. Kyrie Eleison!
I've looked at some movies of the WTC1, north tower, collapsing and noticed that at large portion of one side of the building is standing so that you can see it above the dust could. After one or two seconds this part of the outer wall is totally turning into dust before it falls apart and disapear. There you can really see how the iron pulverizes.

You can clearly tell from the video it was a controlled demolition. If you have a doubt, look at a controlled demolition of a large building. If the building had fell by any other means there would have been much more damage to surrounding buildings and the debris would have been in larger pieces. It would not have been basically vaporized.
