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.

Why did NIST choose not to evaluate the possible use of explosives? How did fire cause the 8-second free fall of a 47-story steel structure?

I am a degreed engineer who is bothered by the lack of adequate scientific research that has been done concerning the collapse of the World Trade Centers, specifically WTC 7.
Why did NIST choose not to evaluate the possible use of explosives? How did fire cause the 8-second free fall of a 47-story steel structure?

I have graduated in 2001 and started my own firm in 2007. I work primarily with residential architecture, including architectural projects, construction and interior design.
When an expert implodes any building to its footprint it is a result of years of experience and several months of preparation. In 9/11 the planes caused irregular damages to both buildings. It is not reasonable to believe that it caused the whole structure to collapse at the same time and with such symmetry. It is even more difficult to believe that that happened not once that day, but three times - one of them even without the impact of a plane.

I have a Master's degree in Industrial Design, and three years of architectural studies at the bachelor's level.
I saw with my own eyes, and photographed, the WTC collapse from a Brooklyn balcony. From what I witnessed on 9/11 and the images recorded on tape available from several sources, I can reasonably conclude that the planes that crashed into the towers were NOT the cause of their collapse. There is too much doubt about the official story published in the media for a thorough, neutral investigation not to take place. Until our country is willing to question its leaders and openly challenge their statements we will not be free. We demand an investigation about the toppling of the WTC immediately.

Now pursuing a doc. in med. while working full time. Will use the greatness of engineering to solve health problems.
Did everyone miss the 3rd building collapse? Steel made molten by burning jet fuel dripping off the side of building? Thermite? Columns cut with clean distinctive angle by what plane wing, god? There appears to be a flaw in the currently held expert opinion of the buildings collapse, the argument that exploding/burning jet fuel (glorified kerosene) can melt steel is absurd. And how exactly did WTC 7 collapse, just wanting to be like the other towers. WTC 7 defied all physical laws end of story. And how do commercial planes get lost for an hour? I thought we had the FAA handling that.

The evidence as presentd by AE911Truth proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that World Trade buildings were felled by explosives. (Unless this evidence is a compete fabrication, which no one, to my knowlege, asserts.) Evidence refuting the official explanation of the Pentagon attack and the crash of the fourth plane, as laid out by David Ray Griffin, is also credible and convincing. The implications of this evidence are that of a monstrous evil,and we are at a crossroads - either compel the disclosure of the truth, or succumb to this evil.

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

I attended the Art & Design specialized High School in New York where I graduated. I am a graduate of the City College of New York, School of Architectural & Environmental Studies with a degree in B.Science-Architecture. I have worked for more than 10 years in the field of architecture. I am a Project Architect in a New Jersey firm where I have worked for more than 6 years. I have experience in commercial and residential design. I am very skilled on the computer aided drafting and can create designs in 2D as well as 3D.
I don't believe that the fact that the airplanes that struck the North and South Towers by themselves made the Twin Towers fall. I do not doubt that the possibility of a controlled demolition was used to purposely bring the buildings down. Somewhere in a remote desert, maybe in Arizona, a scaled down version of the World Trade Center - ALL 7 buildings as they once stood, should be built and then have similarly scaled down - remote controlled U.A.V.'s flown into them with a fuel similar to what the planes were carrying and let it burn for the exact amount of time before the collapse, to see if the reenacted fires would by themselves result in a collapse of the towers. This would be a test similar to the tests that are conducted inside wind tunnels for the design of aircraft.

Retired Firefighter. Fought many, many fires in my career as a firefighter, including the high rise Meridian building fire in Philadelphia in 1991. The building burned for 18 hours, yet I never feared building collapse. I am more than positive that the Firefighters who died on 9/11 never suspected those buildings to collapse either.
The evidence shows the 3 buildings brought down in controlled demolitions. 9/11 commission report is a cover up also. It is well past the time to hold the criminals responsible.

While the discussion of 9/11 as a whole is expansive and at times, confusing, there can be no doubt that footage of the WTC building collapses, as well as the analysis put forth by independent experts on those collapses, proves that an even more thorough investigation is necessary to address the problems with the official story.

Watching as the towers looked liked the imploding buildings I have seen come down. Disturbing were the puffy clouds that billowed out at the bottom as the building came down on itself , folding inward instead of falling outward as other toppling buildings I have seen. A mystery indeed.

Currently a stay at home Mom. Previously employed in accounting as a civil service at the county level. I'm growing daily more alarmed about our increasingly, obviously corrupt government officials and systems. Their policies have destroyed our reputation in the world, and will destroy the American middle class. The average person seems indifferent ...content with clever new tech toys and a constant diet of brain-numbing television -- Instead of thinking they repeat whatever the News says is so.
Everything about 9/11 seemed suspicious to me from the outset: The swift collapse of the towers straight into their footprints was preceded by explosions on floors far below--but were ignored in the official report. There were far too many coincidences. At every turn Government officials were denying facts and refusing to give information to the public, while foisting upon us the Official Version of 9/11...although the investigation was seriously flawed and biased. Never the less the public was expected to accept it for Gospel...and if you asked questions and/or didn't accept the Report, you were branded Unpatriotic, or a Conspiracy Theorist. There was far too much flagrant lying; removing, confiscating and hiding evidence; and denying obvious reality.

America needs to know the real truth to this disaster. I'm a person who looks at both sides of a story and tries to figure things out and there is evidence that has been over looked and needs to be considered in this case.
You may not see the evidence that good about the extra explosions at the towers but there is irrefutable evidence at tower 7. So if there is evidence there that means the whole case needs to be reopened. Not case closed. People need to be charged in this case and not these phony mook ups.

Adequate redundancy in structural design should have avoided the collapse. Since both buildings were designed with the same specifics, it is no surprise that both collapsed under the same stresses.

The official explanation is illogical. Three enormous buildings fell on the same day in an unprecedented manner - barring controlled demolitions. If we are to have any faith in high rise construction, a new, independent investigation is required.

After watching the lecture given by R Gage, as well as researching other independent sources, one can only conclude that more indepth non bias investigation is warranted. Who is a the end of the blame no one knows, but we do know things have been covered up deliberately. If truth is not strived for, surely more of the same will follow... or worse.

I seriously believe the buildings were brought down by controlled, pre-planned demolition strategies. The crashing of the planes into the buildings COULD NOT have brought them down. And of course, how do you explain the crash of Building No. 7?

Global symmetrical collapse doesn't happen by chance of fire or plane crashes that create asymmetrical damage, especially a collapse that is at about the rate of free fall. This looks very much like controlled demolition. It resembles controlled demolition more than it resembles anything else. In my opinion the only thing that's needs to be investigated is WHO was involved.

For one, the media blasted a short investigation that TERRORISTS ATTACK the WTC. Just like most media on television, they don't fully investigate the situations, they only report what authorities tell them, this is why it has been filtered as well as most other investigative reports on TV. Since seeing a building demolished in person by explosives, I found the WTC towers looked exactly the same. They fell straight down. It didn't make sense to me from day one, and I was in 7th grade. And why did people report hearing and explosion before hand? Why wasn't this reported? Also, all the planes had half the passengers missing... Why? Probably because of intuition (something that is never spoken of as a useful tool we have) and maybe some folks knew about this event?

I am currently working on my first documentary film about the correlation between US Foreign Policy & state sponsored terrorism which obviously will dovetail into the September 11th attacks.
There is no doubt in my mind that all three buildings were brought down by pre-placed explosives. For my own edification, and for the purpose of better articulating this fact to skeptics, I have begun reading the NIST reports, and hope to respectfully challenge them based on the inescapable logic and proof that those buildings were, as Governor Pataki once stated Pulverized. I know nothing about engineering, physics, or architecture, but I do trust my eyes and logic. They both tell me that buildings don't fall in under 30 seconds, and turn themselves into dust. None of this was on the GED exam, but some things are just obvious.

As an experienced builder with over 30 years in the field, I understand the dynamics of how buildings are designed. While I am not an architect or engineer, I have worked closely with both professions in the design and construction of buildings. To believe the official story is to deny the science of physics.
The facts that have been provided by the 911 Truth movement regarding the collapse of three skyscrapers are based on physical facts. The official government story cannot be believed because it ignores so many scientific facts. Just the one fact that no other steel framed building in history has collapsed due to fire should make anyone with an analytical mind skeptical.

I have many questions about the events of 9/11, such as: Why were explosions heard prior to and during each collapse? Why was debris thrown so far outward? Why did each building collapse at nearly free-fall speed? What caused the pools of molten steel in the towers' basements? Why were fragments of thermitic compounds found in dust samples taken near the site? Why were high levels of benzene and other VOCs, sulfur, silicon, various metals, and 1,3-diphenylpropane present in air samples taken at the site weeks and months after 9/11/01? I believe that these questions and many others have not yet been adequately answered, and that a new, independent investigation is necessary.
