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 light shed upon the events of 9/11 by Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin and others like them suggest most strongly that our government's version of the cause of what happened on that fateful day is far from the truth. Further, our government's continued refusal to satisfactorily answer questions about obvious conflicts in their version of causes and its refusal from the onset to allow a full and open investigation of these causes by an impartial and empowered body strongly suggest that certain elements in the current administration were complicit in facilitating the events of 9/11 as well as engaging in a cover-up of that complicity thereafter. Lacking a full and open investigation for cause it is highly unlikely that the truth can ever be proven.

I watched the video ''AE911 Experts Speak out'' and from the arguments presented I strongly believe the disaster must have been caused by explosives, ''controlled demolition''. At the very least the covering of evidence and most likely erroneous report from NIST, in addition with the controversy in scientific reports between NIST and AE911 experts calls for an immediate proper investigation of the matter for fear it might repeat itself and for justice of the victims and their families.

I have been an electrical engineer for over 30 years. I have worked with computer models of electronics including the modeling of semiconductor devices so I am aware of how dependent the accuracy of the model is to not just the equations but the data provided.
It seems clear that even a short 2 seconds of free fall constitutes a basis to demand a real investigation, not to mention all of the other facts and observations. And seeing the continued attempt by government and media to conceal the facts speaks even more loudly. This website is the primary one I point people to examine the issues. I feel there are other elements of 9/11 that have equal need of investigation, but the demolition collapse thesis is the one most likely to be compelling to most people.

WTC1,2 and 7 could not have fallen due to fire. The collapses were too symmetrical, and came down too fast, through the path of what should have been the greatest resistance. The only thing that can successfully cause that is well placed explosive charges. To believe the Fire story you would have to ignore the laws of physics.

I have a Bachelor's in Industrial Arts and I am a licensed Architect by Texas state exam. I have practiced architecture while employed with several different architectural firms, a structural engineering firm and on my own in several different countries.
Based on experienced logic and the conclusive evidence that your campaign has produced it is clear to me that the government explanation about 9/11 is untrue. The question of why they lied about this incredibly destructive event should be the most important question posed to our officials in the history of the United States. The actions of our government following 9/11, and their use of 9/11 as justification for those actions, makes it essential to search for the truth of how those buildings were erased and why. Why were they taken down and why did our government lie about it?

My employer sent me to NY on 9/10/01 on business, and I flew into NY LaGuardia on 9/10/01 at 11:30 PM. I was in New York City on 9/11/01, so am one of millions to witness this destruction from relatively near, and remained in NY for weeks after. Knowing like many that all was surely not as it appeared, we brought in films and lecturers to Kansas City starting in 2001 in order to educate others of the need for real and impartial investigations of what is certainly a false flag event. This evil deed must not continue to go unpunished. The actual perpetrators will yet be brought to justice, and through this we can correct and adjust for our future. We the people can always handle the truth, yet most of those in power are proven irresponsible and cannot allow the truth, much less demand it. We demand an actual arms length technical investigation, outsourced to a truly independent commission, to follow to wherever the truth itself leads. We should also demand actual and thorough criminal investigations and prosecutions, starting with basic evidence from the crime scene itself.

The government conspiracy theory does not hold up to scrutiny. As a professional with over 30 years experience working with gas turbines (jet engines) and fuels - kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn in any open flame hot enough to effect steel - well under 1000 deg F. Also bogus are the explanations regarding why no planes were intercepted. SOP is they are always, always intercepted if they stray off course and/or turn off the transponder like these flights all did. No command decision needed. Has our government ever been untruthful to us?

I was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. My father worked in the financial district and ran for his life when the buildings fell. I wasn't sure that day if he survived. I believed the lie that the towers collapsed due to fire for a decade, until I started seeing some videos and documentaries online that presented irrefutable evidence that those buildings were demolished, which can only indicate foul play. This is one of the most important organizations in demanding a new investigation into the destruction of the three WTC towers.

I'm not a structural engineer, but I know enough to know that we're not getting the whole story here. The way that the buildings collapsed certainly looked like a controlled demolition. How is it that the buildings fell at free-fall acceleration and straight down, doing virtually no damage to any surrounding buildings (especially building 7, which wasn't even hit by anything)?

Matt Blake has always felt like he was born with the ability to draw. But he abandoned the BFA pursuits at the University of Missouri-Columbia to get into what he thought would be a more lucrative pursuit of Graphic Design/Art Direction in the Advertising industry. Mr. Blake subscribes to a two-pronged approach to art at this point in time - he works in oils as well as this relatively modern art form, digital collages. This newer technology enables an artist to grab and arrange preconceived forms, ideas and symbols in such a layered fashion that the conveyed ideas can be increasingly complex. All man made things that exist at one point or another were once only ideas inside our human minds... Blake explains. We bring this reality into existence... it is this infinite Thought StructureTM, or Structure of ThoughtTM - a phrase coined by me-that I try to bring into physical being thru this fairly new digital art form. Matt believes humanity can strive to uncover what has always been-a more perfect, more benevolent, accepting, compassionate world-and art can and will show us the way. Matt concludes, It is my hope that my work here on planet earth will help lead that charge. Why not?
Mr. Blake, for the sake of humanity and his own soul, subscribes to standing up to the powers that be because he feels that absolute power corrupts absolutely. 9-11 is case in point - we are deliberately being deceived. He questions all authority in the tradition of Gandhi, JFK, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, MLK among others.

I am going to Knox College this Fall 09 and have been interested and truly saddened about the events and the deceptions engulfing 9/11. I am an adamant history and sociology buff and behind the scenes events I believe deserve an equal amount if not more attention than public history.
The American Reichstag symbolizes the American Century and the American rulers and ruled in a most extraordinarily concise way. 9/11 reflects the psychologically gilded age in which we live. It involves self-destruction for political and economic benefits, deceit through every medium possible at any cost to integrity, and a new age witch hunt equivalent to the red scare for conspiracy nuts who merely thrive passionately for truth and transparency. How sad it is that the term truthers is used in a derogatory manner. Lies to the public and to oneself is what will be most remembered about the modern American public. Tear

Just want the truth. The WTC7 especially. There are several differing theories out there most of which open the doors for the TRUTH which I am sure is not being told right now. The buildings would have held and the ones that we are building in the UK are not dissimilar and would take the impact. I am not here to instigate political change but to find out the truth behind the seemingly controlled way that the 3 buildings came down that sorry day.

I believe that enough questions, based on serious investigation and forensic evidence, have been raised to warrant a serious response from responsible leaders. Even to a lay person, it seems inconceivable that three modern skyscrapers could have collapsed, in the manner in which they did, from airplane strikes and fires alone.

As the towers went down it was obvious to me that they were 'taken down' like a professional demolition. The explosions on the lower floors prior to them collapsing is blatant. The evidence is overwhelming. No black boxes were found, but some paperwork from the plane survived? The nano explosive material, the cut steel beams, the K-9 dogs taken from the building the day before, the eye-witness accounts of explosions before the plane hit, etc... The official story is weak and hasn't responded to many of these issues. A plane hitting the top of a tower like that couldn't bring down the whole building, the way the building was observed to have come down. Shrapnel, or debris, from the WTC towers couldn't have possibly caused Building 7 to come down like it did.

I was pretty young when 9-11 happened. I think it was the day after my 16th or 17th birthday. All I knew then was this is way bigger than what they are telling us. I am eager to hear more.
Something doesn't seem right. How is it possible for the collapse to resemble a planned demolition. Especially when the towers were hit so close to the top. Maybe if they were hit near the base. And I have seen that movie LOOSE CHANGE and it gave me some insite but I know there is so much more to explore.

My opinion is that the buildings all had explosives planted in them. Mainly because of the fact that they fell at nearly free fall speed. And because no skyscraper has fallen due to a fire anywhere at any time in history. Jet fuel can't melt steel. The government said that the fire caused the steel to weaken not melt, so why weeks after the attack at ground zero steel was still melting cherry red? Steel melts at 2800'F so what could of melted the steel for weeks after 9/11? And why is building seven not in the 9/11 report?

1. Destruction proceeds through the path of greatest resistance at nearly free-fall acceleration 2. Improbable symmetry of debris distribution 3. Extremely rapid onset of destruction 4. Over 100 first responders reported explosions and flashes 5. Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph 6. Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking 7. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds 8. 1200-foot-dia. debris field: no pancaked floors found 9. Isolated explosive ejections 20 ' 40 stories below demolition front 10. Total building destruction: dismemberment of steel frame 11. Several tons of molten metal found under all 3 high-rises 12. Evidence of thermite incendiaries found by FEMA in steel samples 13. Evidence of explosives found in dust samples 14. No precedent for steel-framed high-rise collapse due to fire

There is no way the World Trade Center Buildings were taken down by two airplanes and the insuring fires. Only if you are willing to check your brain at the door of the phony government investigation, and ignore all the facts and evidence, could you come to such fatally flawed conclusions. Sadly, as usual, our own government officials are in a state of denial. This is true, at even the local levels of government. Sadder still is that the American people are willing to tolerate such nonsense from their elected representatives. So Republican or Democrat, it is business as usual from Washington to our local government. There is no accountability because we the people are too self-absorbed to demand it.
