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 dynamics of the fall of the towers is inconsistent with a fall or accident resulting from the impact of such objects as the two planes. The vertical fall exactly along the axis of lift the building may be merely the result of failure of nodes per share promptly induced dynamicaly and coordinated.

Even as a lay person, there were parts of the official explanation that did not make full sense to me. Over time, my attention was brought to the various documentaries such as In Plane Sight and Loose Change. I have never been satisfied with the conclusions around JFK's assassination either. Both situations tear me apart because I don't want to be any kind of zealot or conspiracy theorist and I deplore thinking domestic entities regard us as expendable, yet there is evidence and/or the lack thereof which I cannot sanely ignore.

Too many things don't add up. While the hijacking of the aircraft was an excellent diversion and 'excuse' for what happened, the actual explosions and their results are not consistent with what could have happened with the aircraft alone. There is evidence of structural damage that preceeded the aircraft impacts (never explained) and the impact at the Pentagon is not consistent with the aircraft that struck there.

There are far too many anomalies in the 9/11 Commission Report and the mainstream media reports of what happened to this country on 9/11/01. My first clue was that there were no further attacks anywhere in the USA. My second clue was that no terrorist organization claimed credit for the destruction, although that is a hallmark of terrorism. Something stunk.

While on active duty I never once allowed myself to consider any of the information some people were talking about; I believe it was that I didn't want that type of distraction taking away my energy in performing my assigned tasks. However, something happened to me after I retired and began working again as a 'civilian'. Over the last year, I've spent literally hundreds of hours reading, reading and reading, along with viewing excellent and fact-based documentaries on not just 9/11, but every major event in my lifetime. It has been an incredible awakening for me to realize that my own government has conducted such mass global manipulation, death and war, supposedly in the name of freedom and democracy. The more the people ask about 9/11, the less the media report it. For example, there is no reason for molten steel burning weeks afterward. There is no reason all three simply evaporated during descent. Why was all power cut off the weekend (maybe two weekends) prior to 9/11. Whoever planted the explosives had access to every single room in that building since all cameras and motion sensors were disabled. Building 7 could not have fallen on its own. No way. Pull it. But the biggest farce is the failure of the Pres and VP to provide testimony separately and under oath to the 9/11 commission.

I worked on The Twin Towers as a welder for Otis Elevator in 1970-71. The elevators ran inside the core columns and if someone wanted to plant explosives on those columns, all they had to do was ride on top of the elevator car and do their dirty work from there. As a welder I applied plenty of heat to those columns and I know that kerosene would not cause any damage at all. There was too much mass in the steel.
I worked for Otis Elevator for 3.5 years including a year from 1970-1971 working and welding on 'The Twin Towers'. So when I think of the core columns in those buildings and how massive those columns were, I have great difficulty buying the story of how jet fuel could weaken that steel to the point of collapse. Anyway, that fuel burned on impact and wasn't a factor. The general public doesn't realize that in those buildings that the core columns were 'terraced' and in a natural collapse, there would have been more resistance on the way down. The symmetrical collapse at free fall speed was impossible under normal conditions.

In the beginning I believed the official story. But after the shock wore off, I found I could not forget the way the buildings fell. The debris was not consistent with a normal building collapse. Eye witnesses heard explosions, and the collapse of all three buildings had more resemblance to a controlled demolition than an unplanned structural failure. I have read many points of view on the matter and can no longer agree with the official story.

I have never felt comfortable with the way the Twin Towers came down, straight into their own footprints. Nor how building 7,also into it's own footprint, came down from fire only. I have seen the video footage of a man, I can't think of his name, telling another man to go ahead and pull it referring to building 7. Now with the verification of Nano-Thermite being found in all reside samples, it is imperative that a new investigation be sanctioned.

I am a working, American citizen, who is concerned about the role our own government played in the attacks on 9/11/2001. I have many questions.... questions that have NOT been answered or even addressed by our government.
I have done my own research on the building collapses, and I do not believe the 3 steel-framed buildings failed due to fire and/or airliner impact. I truly believe there were explosive devices planted in the buildings... either before or possibly even after the airliner strikes, and I believe these explosive devices were the cause of the collapse of the WTC buildings. There are too many accounts from people who were there, including firefighters, police and citizens, of multiple explosions. This was a crime scene... and the evidence was conveniently destroyed before an investigation could take place... which in and of itself is extremely suspicious.

I was an engineering student prior to my employment with L. A. Dept. of water and Power. I have an interest in physics.
I was extremely bothered by the speed with which the debris was cleared away from the site and the refusal to let the NTSB perform an investigation. I have seen many programs on TV with experts in building demolition talking about how difficult it is to bring down a building in it's own footprint and how the demolition charges have to be precisely placed and detonated. And yet on 9/11/2001 we all witnessed three buildings come down in that precise manner supposedly by chance. The odds are long against something like this happening. Also I have seen videos taken moments before the collapse of one of the twin towers showing molten metal dripping out of the corner of the building. I have heard no satisfactory explanation of what might have caused this.

My concerns with 9/11 fall strongly on the nations highest secured building, The Pentagon. Looking at the aftermath, of a seemingly impossible flight (flown by a barely experienced, with smaller cessna airplanes, muslim man whom apparently drinks and gambles against his religious practice) one will see only a hole less than the size of a 757 fuselage with no trace of wings hitting the building. This all in addition to the plane vanishing in existence without any of the numerous surveillance cameras catching a sight (from what has been released by our government). Something seems a bit smelly!

I'm just a 53 year old U.S. citizen that cares about America and it really saddens me about what this country is turning into.
I wish our elected officials in Washington cared as much about America as they claim they do in their campaign speeches. Our country has been going down the sewer ever since JFK was assassinated and see nothing but the same for the remainder of my lifetime. September 11, 2001 was the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the United States and it was a 100% inside job carried out by individuals other than a bunch of cave dwellers. Any American that assisted in the carrying out of this dastardly deed should be put on trial for treason. A real investigation needs to be started immediately because the so-called official one was a complete hoax.

I am a dual citizen Czech/American living in Czech Republic now. I am disturbed by the fact that all evidence points to a demolition of all three WTC and nothing is being done about it. I demand as well as all other citizens who want to know the truth that a new investigation needs to be opened and all responsible criminals for this catastrophe punished according to a law.
WTC 7 couldn't fall because of few fires visible. Available videos point strictly to a demolition. There is absolutely no way that building would collapse at a free fall speed because of these fires. The same with other two WTC buildings. Even if the planes (if there were any) hit the building they would not fall at a free fall speed. Evidence of molten metal and findings of Thermite is more then significant and points further to a planned demolition. Witnesses reported explosions through out the buildings. Explosions are seen on the videos even below many floors of the initial impact'.

Qualified Actuary by profession, department head of over 100 professional staff from an accounting and actuarial background, interested in all aspects of science. As someone that strongly believes in evidence for all decisions, from a profession that's goal is to understand the uncertain and whose daily role is to make decisions with incomplete information, the position of 9/11 is an area that needs further examination.
On that day, I sat in shock, away from the office revising for an exam, watching the 'hollywood' movie before me on my tv screen and wondered on that day at the unnatural scenes. What I saw I can only describe as unnatural, the buildings 'behaviour' wasn't consistent with all my science knowledge. Since then, having read about 9/11 and watched the unfolding world events following 9/11 with interest, I believe that that day and preceding months and the months that followed require more investigation, the current official view requires challenging.

I graduated from San Francisco State University in 1967. I have read widely in many subjects for many years. I subscribe to a dozen magazines that pertain to history, politics, society and literature and that cover the entire liberal/conservative political spectrum. For example, I subscribe to and read both The Nation and The National Review. I have read, perhaps, hundreds of books. Just this week I finished The American Heritage Short History of the Civil War by Bruce Catton.
It is obvious that the attacks of 9/11 were a coordinated project of terrorists from the outside, and insiders who installed explosives. People are afraid of the evidence because of what it implies. It implies that there are elements within our own government that consciously betrayed their own country in order to achieve their own agenda. And that agenda was to establish an excuse to attack an innocent country in order to give American contractors the opportunity to loot it, and ultimately, to turn it over to hard-line Islamists who admit that they want to establish a caliphate in Baghdad.

It only takes an educated person to acknowledge that the collapse wasn't due to a plane hitting the building, and it was the result of very deadly explosives planted within this highly secured building. It is very hard to believe that one of the world's most advance intelligent services did not know about it. This is the result of a highly corrupt government officials in high positions who used this for their own personal gains. It targeted the American public in order to plant fear in them, which makes them trust the decisions of the government without second doubting them.

I am retired from the insurance business and condo management. I am a conservative who is sick and tired of our government and how they suppress information.
My concern is the information provided to the citizens of the United States is not honest and truthful. My concern is this is another coverup of the truth. I am tired of government lies and coverups and dishonesty. We, as citizens of this country, deserve to know the truth and then, act upon the information. If that means doing our best to remove elected officials, then that is what we should do. AE911truth.org is an organization that is attempting to force the truth from the lies that have been published by the media and the government. I am hopeful they will succeed. They have facts that contradict what has been reported. If they are not telling the truth, then the government should dispute their FACTS and show the public where this organization is wrong. I do not believe the government can accomplish this. And, if they cannot, they should let the truth be told.

A mystical humanist, reading literature from an early age; B.A., 1976; marriage, 1977; graduate work for husband and briefly for me, then off to Zimbabwe in 1983 for 18 years; three gorgeous children later, back to the US at the beginning of the implosion of Zimbabwe; rebuilding lives in US literally in the wake of 9/11/2001. Freelance editor, legal assistant, a 'wannabe' writer.
I am ashamed to confess that, in my mind, September 11, 2001, was a mere inconvenience in air travel as my husband's return to the USA on 9/13 was delayed for several weeks. In around 2005, however, I saw David Ray Griffiths' presentation on C-Span which propelled me to investigate the issues of that day. I read as much as I could and looked online for what I could find. Today, 9/11 presents me with the most important issue of my spiritual life. Somehow, the truth must be found, however painful. At the time, after having been away from the US for so many years, I needed to re-educate myself; for several months I felt I was losing my mind. Everything has to be reinterpreted and re-examined. I demand a serious investigation, with subpoena powers, of the events of that evil day. We cannot move forward without knowing how we have arrived on this page. Enough with sweeping filthy unmentionables under the carpet.

Having worked in the shipbuilding industry for 30 years in various disciplines including ship fitting [carpenter of steel] , burning, and welding, I know from personal expierence 2-4 steel will maintain structual sheer strength integrity because the mass of the steel acts as a heat sink, wicking the heat away faster than a fuel oil source could heat it to a state of failure. The oxy/propane torches used dual gas combution to oxidize, melt, the steel and if you moved the torch at a speed too fast, it would cease cutting. Thick steel had to be preheated. When we removed support steel, angle bar and I beams, we would cut it at an angle to have the steel fall were we wanted it to, just like the straight cuts at a 45 degree angles you can see in the pictures after the collapse.
