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.

The second tower was not a direct hit to the infrastructure of the building. Most of the kerosene went out the side and back of the building. I could not believe that this event would have caused this building to be the first to fall when the core of the structure was not hit. Watching the towers fall reminded me of a typical pulled building that you would see during a standard demolition. Watching the top of the tower move after it was going to tip over back into fall position required another force much stronger to upright the tower to provide it to fall through the center. This is typical of demolition charges bringing the center back into alignment.

I'm very interested to hear from professional hi-rise engineers that believe the 3 buildings could have collapsed without the use of explosives. It seems very clear from the direct and indirect documentation, that the explosives were the cause of the near free fall demolition.

WTC building 7 is what alerted me that 9/11 might be an inside job. It is virtually impossible for a building to collapse in that manner with nothing but a common fire over a few floors. Additionally, the fire purportedly came from the twin towers but the surrounding buildings met with no such improbable ignition. What cinched it for me was the smoldering molten metal that lasted for weeks after the attack, pointing at the probable use of thermate.

Mathieu R. Yelle, Engineer

Ottawa, ON, Canada
I`m a 25 year old engineer working for the Canadian Federal Government in Motor Vehicle Regulations. I have obtained my bachelor`s degree at Ottawa University in 2009. I have designed a steel structural chassis for an amphibious vehicle which was fully analyzed, designed, and documented with drawings for manufacturing of the parts.
The core column for the twin towers was a combination of massive steel rods and cement and were amongst the strongest steel columns in the world. A fire in open air could potentially have weakened the steel in the column at a single point on the 100-sotry buildings, although this is highly unlikely given the steel melting point is much higher than a fire by kerosene in open air. But the cement in the column would still have sustained the building upwards. The problem is the column could have flexed and broken at that point, but the building would have fallen sideways. The floors below were designed to sustain 10 times the weight of all floors above at full capacity. The only way the column could have collapsed upon itself is if it was brought to malleability from top to bottom simultaneously, including the skeleton structural steel rods. But this was not the case. And even if it was, all the floors, walls, and other structural components would have created resistance and the collapse would have been slow. What the evidence shows is that they collapse at free fall speed minus air resistance. This is only achievable in a controlled demolition which removes the matter with explosives before the above floors reach the ones below. This is not to mention building 7. You don`t need expertise to break that one down.

As with David Ray Griffin and others, the evidence presented by AE911Truth is overwhelming and simply cannot be denied. It is time for a Commission, independent of any of the previous official commissions, to be formed and authorized by the Justice Department or whatever department would be responsible for setting up such a commission. I heard the AE911Truth presentation on Coast to Coast AM June 9th, 2009.

I have worked with metals all my life, being an aircraft mechanic. I have also worked in the construction field.
All the damage & heat was at the top of the buildings. This couldn't affect all the lower portions of the structure. As stated elsewhere, there was no resistance to the fall beneath the damaged portions of the buildings. This, in my opinion, had to be done by controlled explosives.

I have also done Volunteer work in a Hospital.
I have seen many large buildings imploded om TV. I have also heard many experts explain how it is done, in great detail. When I saw the Towers fall on 911, the first thing I thought of was that it looked just like an implosion. Later that day I heard about Building 7 coming down exactly like the Towers. After reading the articles and seeing film on your Website, you have presented much more evidence that certainly looks like the Towers were imploded. I have been following the stories about explosives for years, and those stories, along with what I saw with my own eyes, lead me to doubt the official story. This must be investigated. Americans deserve to know the truth.

It was obvious to me, after watching in disbelief the crumbling of the WTC buildings that we the people were never going to be allowed to get at the truth surrounding this event. After hearing and reading expert opinions about how the buildings could not have collapsed in the way they did without the use of strategically placed explosives, and of the first hand accounts of people who were there while it was occurring who testified that they heard loud explosive sounds at or about the same time that the collapses were taking place, it became obvious to me, at least, that since this information was either being discounted or completely ignored by the mainstream-government-controlled-media that we were not going to get to the bottom of the truth regarding what happened on September 11, 2001 in New York City at the World Trade Center.

I am a senior citizen concerned about inconsistencies over what is reported in the news and elsewhere.
Many knowledgeable people say the buildings fell like buildings purposely demolished with bombs, etc., not from a fire started from an airplane. Also, people in the area say they heard explosions coming from the building. We need a well planned investigation of what really happened and who was responsible.

For many years I believed the official version of 9/11. But now after reviewing the evidence in great detail I firmly believe that 9/11 was an inside job. There simply is no other rational explanation. There's no way building number 7 should have collapsed unless it was demolished with explosives.

I don't know who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, but I do know that the official explanation of what happened is not backed up by scientific evidence or by the laws of physics. The unprecedented collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 at almost free fall speed, the evidence that thermite was present at the crime scene, and the fact that dozens of witnesses heard explosions shortly before the towers collapsed is reason enough to launch a new independent investigation committee, which would have the power to subpoena all witnesses.

I am a serial entrepreneur who lived in New York City and know a lot of people there.
I had some colleagues and constituents in one of those buildings. I was down the street in 1993 when the first bombs were set off and didn't know much about what was going on. When I saw this catastrophe unfold on TV in Seattle, I was stunned and even more, curious as to how buildings like that, which I had been to the top of before, could pancake. Watching how they demolish building on TV before I was very curious as to what really happened now I believe there is something far more evil at work.

I am not an engineer, architect, or physicist. I am a designer who has listened to the presentation by Richard Gage, and I want to support his efforts in having the truth be known about what actually happened on 9/11/2001.
Listening to a presentation by Richard Gage I no longer support the government's position that this was an attack. I want the truth known about these building collapses. There is just too much contrary evidence to support the assertion there was no US government involvement in this. As a US citizen, I DEMAND an investigation of the TRUE intent behind 9/11, and an investigation of what really happened, as these building collapses were a controlled demolition. There are just many coincidences and facts to think otherwise. This NEEDS to be investigated and the people need to be told the truth about what actually happened on this day!

It was a controlled collapse, it was professionally imploded, the planes had nothing to do with the collapse, just chaos.

I have observed a steady takeover of our government and freedom since the early sixties. Eisenhower was right, that we need to beware of the powers of the military- industrial complex, including Departments of Defense and National Security.

I'm a concerned citizen, college grad (not in a tech field), interested in the truth, and an airline worker of 30 years. I know, firsthand how relatively inflammable jet fuel really is; though, the public thinks it's a hot burning fuel, because it has the word 'jet' in it. We used to use jet fuel in all of our diesel ground equipment, no problem; though, diesel fuel can't be used in jets, because it's too 'dirty.' Thank you.
It's been clear to me that sooty black, burning jet fuel cannot melt steel. The fact that it was molten for about 3 weeks after the event should be evidence enough that a thorough investigation is needed. Thank you.

I did not study anything to do with architecture or engineering. I have no degree in this area at all. So I can speak from that point of view.
When I first saw it go down, it got my attention. Then time after time I said that building imploded!. It seemed evident to me and I then wondered how and why!
