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.

From my limited experience and understanding of the strength of materials and focus on stress and strain capacity of structural materials, I have difficulty understanding how the official report is credible in describing the mode of failure. In particular, building 7's orchestrated collapse does not bode well with me.

My background is in sales and promotion of commercial construction materials, specifically concrete. I call on architects and engineers regularly as a technical resource. I understand how materials and building systems work so that I can advise my clients on the best solutions for their construction issues. I am also a professional educator which gives me expertise in how people learn and assimilate technical information and how opinions are formed.
There is no doubt in my mind that explosives were used to bring down the WTC buildings in New York on 9/11/01. The next challenge for America is to demand a real investigation into all the events of that day. Hopefully this scientific investigation without bias and government intervention will identify the actual causes of the demolitions and other acts of destruction.

There is simply no way the heavy box-section columns would have allowed any building to disintegrate without heavy use of explosives. Even if fire softened the columns, there would have been some bending, not disintegration. And of course the demolition of building 7 totally demolishes the official story!

Work as an application scientist in vibrational spectroscopy, specifically spectroscopic determinations of: forensic analysis, chemometrics, pharmaceutical, trace explosive analysis, mixture analysis, fuel property predictions, crystallinity, as well as instrument calibration related to above. Other work I have performed (coincidentally around the time of the9/11 attacks) used Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) in a support role for the US Coast Guard R&D Center in Groton, CT ( a three hour drive from ground zero) in the determination of trace quantities (nanogram) of drugs and explosives. On 9/08/01 I was sent to USMC Camp LeJeune, NC, making any attempt to use our equipment immediately following the collapse impossible.
The video footage of the three WTC buildings, as well as the Pentagon and Flight 93 wreckage, offers clear evidence that does not appear to have factored greatly into the official story, especially WTC building 7. The lack of significant analytical forensic evidence in the 9/11 commission report leads me to believe that it was inadequate, and a new, congressionally appointed committee should be established.

Those sure look like controlled demolitions. Why do other steel skyscrapers burn for hours without collapsing, but all three of these happened to collapse like identical controlled demolitions even though one had not been hit by a plane and two allegedly had? How were the alleged hijackers identified just hours after the Towers fell? The official story is that they were identified from their DNA collected at the site. How could anyone collect their DNA soon after the Towers turned into pulverized dust and molten pools of steel? What base DNA samples would those have been verified against? Someone in Saudi Arabia happened to have DNA samples for all the hijackers on hand and willingly provided it to the US soon after the Towers fell?

I had 4 years of school at Oklahoma Christian University, a private ABET accredited university in Oklahoma. I graduated with a B.S.E.E. I worked for Boeing for 2 years and studied electrogmagnetic effects onboard military aircraft. My experience has taught to me understand how cell phone communication between aircraft and ground antennae would be impossible on 9/11 inside a commercial airliner.I have now worked for Siemens Postal Parcel and Airport Logistics for 1 year as a systems design engineer for conveyor systems and logistics products.
There is no other rational explanation other than a controlled demolition. Even someone without a degree could see that the pattern is completely consistent with a controlled demo and that there is no excuse for an entire skyscraper to fall at nearly free fall speed with zero resistance below it. Additionally there is no evidence presented to explain how the top sections of 1 and 2 were vaporized into dust within seconds of collapse. Clear evidence of squibs from every camera angle far below the point of impact. Complete impossibility of cell phone calls being made at such altitudes and speeds as claimed. Far exceeds the capabilities of 2001 technology much less the technology of cell phones today.

No security plan is foolproof, otherwise the security industry would not be so profitable. There are individuals of questionable connections, some who actually worked in the Towers, who would have had access (including the guard force itself) to have allowed for explosives to be placed in key areas to facilitate the rate of collapse. It would not have taken a large team to implement if systems were put into place slowly, with the explosive materials placed either where dogs did not operate, or after the dogs were removed just prior to 9/11. I cannot stand down from this position given the clear unanswered questions.

I moved to Israel 3 months ago. I was born and raised in America and I am still a US citizen. I love the country of my birth very much, but the new administration leaves a LOT to be desired! I strongly believe that the 9/11 tragedy needs to be more thoroughly investigated. Those who lost their lives or their loved ones deserve some sort of resolution to this unforgettable, disastrous time in their lives.
When I arrived at work the morning of Sept 11, 2001, I was in shock, since I had just heard the tragic news on the radio that the twin towers were attacked by planes! A fellow worker was able to videotape the news report and we watched it in utter horror! Never in my life had I seen such devastation in just minutes! What really struck me, was how the towers just collapsed on their foundations like a stack of cards!

I have been in engineering since 1989, the bulk of which with Rolls Royce. The doubts surrounding 9/11 'truths have always fascinated me, and I think it is one example that should get EVERYONE thinking 'outside the box.
The footage and straightforward explanations put forward by you guys must surely be enough to make any level headed person just stop for a moment and think, Hey yeah, wait a minute. The biggest 'loaded gun' for me was Larry Silverstein's lets pull it statement. (Interestingly, number 1 result when you google, 'lets pull it'). More power to you guys, and let's get the truth.

I am a certified technical engineer with over 27 years' experience in troubleshooting electrical and mechanical problems.
My electrical and mechanical training requires me to understand resistance. This knowledge enabled me to conclude that buildings can not collapse in near free fall speed, for the structure itself would cause resistance to the collapse itself.

I have followed the events and aftermath of 9/11 for all of the intervening years. I am not formally trained in science but one does not need to be to understand the evidence. The irrefutable presence of nano-thermite in the WTC dust goes a long way in explaining the gap between the official story and the mission of AETruth.
It is important for the average American to understand that the official story of 9/11 is seriously flawed. The official story marginalizes common sense, which for me goes too far, but when it flatly discounts verifiable scientific inquiry the Commission is seriously derelict in their prima facie duty to the American Public. So then you might ask to whom did it owe that duty of its apparent obfuscation of the truth - which many would agree - it upheld very efficiently?

I am a 24 year old hispanic retail employee who spent his younger life in Gifted and Talented Education programs, went to several spelling bees in which I placed best in our school, had a COLLEGE level spelling in only the 6th grade and all common sense would tell anyone without mental development issues that what we are told happened on 9/11/01 is in fact a big lie.
None of this info we are being fed makes any sense. I would invite any governmental agency to watch an architect build a scaled down model of the WTC and you can use as much jet fuel as you would like to try and burn it down. I guarantee you it will not. The only steel buildings to ever collapse because of fire fell on 9/11. Shouldn't that tell you something? And the facts don't stop there. There are many conspiracy theories but as soon as one of these theories has any factual evidence backing it up it is no longer a theory and therefore will make 9/11 a crime scene, not against Islamic extremists... but against the people who are paid to protect us.

12th grade student with intense interest in politics, physics, and science. Most importantly: TRUTH
The physics behind the allegations of the 9/11 myth are relatively simple. The towers simply could not have collapsed the way they did as a result of the commercial jets alone. This is not rocket science, it is high school science. Jet fuel which burns at x temperature cannot burn any higher than that temperature without an external energy source. It has been well established that the fuel does not burn at a high enough temperature to have melted the structural materials in these highly sophisticated building.

12th-grade education, but interested in the sciences, ancient history, archeology, biology, etc., and government cover-ups such as, I believe, the Kennedy assassination and the 9/11 twin towers destruction.
I was mesmerized by a program I watched on a local educational station while surfing through the channels that demonstrated how the plane colliding into the one tower could not possibly have caused the intense heat and fire that pulverized the concrete and melted the I-beams so thoroughly. The evidence submitted regarding controlled, timed explosions, and the speed and sequence of said explosions, were visible in the moving photos shown by the speaker and difficult to deny. I was convinced there was much more to the destruction than was in the official reported reasons for the collapse.

I have watched many videos of the fall of the buildings. Random collapse of objects is not compatible with the completely symmetrical fall of all the buildings as shown in the videos. Photos of the debris areas I have seen show beams that are cut and show slag formation consistent with steel cut by torches or arc. This does not happen in uncontrolled collapses. NOTHING in an office building will burn at temperatures that will melt steel beams. There are so many things wrong with the explanations given us that it insults our intelligence!

I've been watching documentaries about various things, but also the demolition of buildings and how they implode them not to hit buildings that surround them. I watched this stuff after 9/11 but as I watched more of this I came to think that the twin towers kind of fell just like a demolition and it made me seek answers. I quickly realized that the official statements, which I looked at first, didn't make any sense to me despite the fact that I don't have any degree in physics or engineering. Since then I've been watching documentaries and trying to find a solution to this that makes sense. Demolition makes sense to me. Pancake theory doesn't, considering how the crash site looked afterward. But again, I have no degree whatsoever.
