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.

Even someone who has passed High School physics should know the official story of 9/11 is a fraud. Buildings will not collapse at near free-fall speed from fire and/or aircraft impact. Any scientist suggesting such a possibility is a liar or incompetent. There are too many unexplained inconsistencies in the official story of 9/11 to mention. Having studied much material from Lyndon LaRouche's publications, particularly from Executive Intelligence Review magazine, I see that BAE Systems and Dick Cheney have a lot of explaining to do in relation to 9/11.

"Building 2, the second building hit and the first to ""collapse"" was hit two thirds of the way up. It breaks off at the impact point and a photo shows it leaning over at 20 degrees. The pile driver effect is gone at that point. The top third of the building is no longer pressing down on the bottom two thirds. No load = no buckling. Imagine a tree in the woods being struck by lightning two thirds of the way up. The top third breaks off and falls over. Then, starting at the top of the remaining ""stump"" which is two thirds the height of the original tree, a wave of destruction starts and goes down at near freefall, spewing out wood chips and sawdust. Where did all this this energy come from?"

I am a journalist. I graduated from Auckland University in 1985 with a Master of Science (Hons) in neuropsychology/clinical neuropsychology and zoology. I initially learnt that the official story of 9/11 was a fraud from watching the documentaries: '9/11: The Road To Tyranny,' by Alex Jones and 'Confronting The Evidence.' In order to compensate for the lack of real information in the mainstream media about 9/11, I have written about the events and people related to 9/11 for publication and have contributed to Internet forums regularly, supplying information which strengthens the case to show that the official story is a hoax. I currently post 9/11-related information on my website also: Web of Evidence: What They Don't Want You To Know.
There was substantial evidence to show that thermite was used to bring down the Towers, not only as they were collapsing, but afterwords also. For example, shortly before the South Tower collapsed, molten metal was seen pouring out of the building near the 81st floor. Plus, in the aftermath of the collapses there were signs of an explosive material having been used, as explosions were occurring in the rubble, and there were fires that could not be put out with water. The nano-thermite that was located and estimated to comprise about 0.1% of the weight of the WTC dust by Neils Harrit et al, has helped to close the net on the real suspects. One thing is for certain, this composite was far too advanced a material to have emanated from the bowels of a cave.

I have viewed many of the videos over the years.' The failure of the building in a near freefall manner should only happen if the entire structure fails near simultaneously. Even comparing it to the recent Surfside, FL apartment collapse where the floor layers ended up resting resting successively upon each other, one can see it was not a normal collapse. The non-symmetric damage would not result in a symmetric failure.

I am a structural engineer who as a young engineer working for McLaren Engineering Group out of West Nyack, NY, visited and helped with the demolition at the World Trade Center site. I later went on to earn my PE and continued to work on building design and other smaller structural engineering jobs including structures in the entertainment industry and marine engineering. My license is temporarily inactive for last few years, as I am staying home with 3 small children.
If evidence is surfacing that raises new questions about the events of 9/11, I support uncovering the true motives of the attack and any related responsible parties that had a part in planning the destruction of the World Trade Center. There are too many unanswered questions that are outstanding and are contrary to what has been presented to the public as factual.

I could not believe that planes hitting the twin towers would cause their total collapse. Even more astounding was how several small fires caused the collapse of the heavy steel frame of WTC 7. No one has ever given me a clear explanation of why a CNN reporter stated that Building 7 had collapsed, when one could see it still standing in the background, only to see it collapse 1 hour later. I saw everything that day, 9-11-01, on live TV.

Recognizing that the twin towers and WTC7 were instances of controlled demolition is not the hard part. The hard part is overcoming the emotional hurdle that our government betrayed us. I went into shock and had to grieve when I accepted this. As a country we need to face this anger and grief if we are to come to terms with ourselves and leave a legacy we can reconcile with.

I saw it on TV - the second tower hit live. I immediately commented to other science professionals in the room the planes must have carried bombs that generated super intense heat - it was no 'gravity fall' or airplane fuel fire that punched the towers straight down like they were built with 0 eccentricity!!! But today, 9/9/16 I received my first AE for Truth flyer. I had no idea other professionals had so gathered to document what the trained eye knew to be true. Your flyer gave me the link I knew had to exist but had no evidence of - thermite!!!!

It's taken a long time for me to come to terms with the real possibility that the true causes of the WTC collapses on 9/11 were obscured from the general public and perhaps much worse. I've read the summary arguments based on the physics of the collapses and found them potentially valid. I would like to read the actual studies. It will take a while to understand the modelling enough to critique it, but if people like myself don't take it upon themselves, who will? We must know the truth, because what's left of our democracy depends on it.

The case of 9/11/2001 is far too significant let go with so many, and a growing number of, unanswered questions. It is unfathomable that further investigations are not considered by congress; especially in view of the short duration, time boxed 9/11 commission investigation. Is this event not important enough for a deeper look? I think a permanent investigation is even merited.

Though I've initially learned about the inexplicable circumstances from documentary videos like 'Loose Change', AE911Truth.org (its reports and documentaries) has shown the irrefutable evidence that the WTC towers have been brought down by controled demolition.This conclusion implies a premeditated covert operation, which should therefore be thoroughly investigated, and any and all involved should be brought to justice. This is essential and of the highest urgency, because the 9/11 attrocities have been the pretext to start the perpetual wars the USA continues to wage in order to, according to my opinion, establish a global empire. Bringing to justice the perpetrators of these crimes is essential to reestablish the democratic republic the USA used to be.

I am a retired Major General, Army National Guard, and I have 38 years of work as a mechanical engineer with the department of Navy in the design of weapons, components, and transportation means. Lifting and handling was the basis for my experience in strength of materials and the analysis of failure therein. I'm degreed as a mechanical engineer, Louisiana Tech, 1962.
I have read numerous reports containing both calculations and science as well as opinions, watched numerous videos of interviews with experts, watched the collapse of all buildings more times than I can accurately state and there are many factors which simply do not fit the scenario. What I have read of the residual chemical evidence pointing to materials for which there is no logical explanation, other than that an explosives expert with unique access to materials was involved. Most importantly, perhaps, is the indisputable fact that all three buildings fell as in a controlled demolitions scenario. The fuel from the planes did not have enough energy to transfer to the massive central support beams and cause structural failure. Therefore, something else had to be in play to cause what we saw. Then in Building 7, it had no damage from a plane strike. What would have caused it to fall shortly after the owner's decision to 'pull it'? My view is that this is a false flag operation and the USA is up to it's eyeballs in it. I have not continuously followed this crime because it was clear from the beginning that it was being swept under the rug, but there were some very resourceful engineers who studied the rate of acceleration of the fall of the two towers and determined that there was insignificant deviation from free fall. Meaning that the towers did not take a detour and crash their way down one floor at a time, overcoming the strength of each floor, which equates to time, thus loosing that straight-line acceleration we would expect unless a number of floors were assisted by controlled demolition. And what about all that molten steel that was running like a small stream in the basement with traces of thermite in it?

As a Engineer I know that the right amount of energy would have been needed to cause the towers to fall at the speed and symmetry in which they fell on 9/11/01. As I learned in school and in the industry about Material Science that for the towers to fall, the steel in the towers needed to reach their yielding load before reaching their tensile capacity and then they could finally fail..I hope that a new investigation addresses these basic concepts!

I have for many years not been convinced that the cause of collapse of all three trade centers in New York, nor the wreckage sites at the Pentagon & Pennsylvania, are the result of impact by commercial aircraft. I fully believe the overwhelming evidence contradicts the official narrative offered in the 9/11 official report, and I wish to show my support in demanding a non-biased, independent investigation as to the probable causes of destruction, as the people of the USA, and the world, deserve to know.

WTC7 could not come down due to small fires and collateral damage as implied by the official report. This collapse was due to controlled demolition. This is the only way to weaken the support columns throughout the building to bring it to the ground the way it did.

As documented by this group, never in the history of steel framed skyscrapers since 1908 has a single one of them failed from fire damage, other than the supposed fire imposed collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7. A number of researchers have well documented horrific fires in steel buildings, none of which failed and all were reconditioned and still in use. It was patently obvious as I watched the original footage from Vienna, Austria that these were commercial implosions. Building Seven housed CIA and other federal agencies, all of which would have had to have known and approved of plans and capability to implode the buildings months in advance. The America public deserves to know the truth.

Obvious controlled demolition. You don't see it or allow the possibility because you can't simply believe that your government could be complicit in killing your own people for political and war purpose. Even though killing millions of lives around the world, as well as our own service people since WWII has been no problem.

This situation is very similar to the events that occur with Dr. Bennet Omalu and his discovery of CTE, a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma. The NFL deny his scientific evidence and called him un-American. Read his story, watch the movie 'Concussion' and you will see the depth organisations will go to cover the truth. If this can happen with football, why can it not happen with 9/11?

I have researched this from many angles, listening to people on the ground, emergency staff (Police, Firemen, etc.), looking at suspicious things from the whole day 9/11/2001! NORAD was never sent out, the black boxes were never found from any airplanes, the close to free fall implosion, etc.. Even my young son when seeing the buildings implode or in demolition said 'Dad the cement+buildings turned to powder!!

No commercial airplane (or military) could possible bring down one of the twin towers. Any such aircraft would be shredded by the collision, not poke its nose out the other side. Further, there would be aircraft parts everywhere if it had been aircraft that impacted the towers. The impacting vehicle had to have been something more along the lines of a bunker buster cruise missile, which would also not bring down the building. Also, even the best pilots in the B-1 test program would have a tough time hitting the towers at that speed. Again, the precision needed could be realized using a cruise missile.

Considering the arrangement and size and strength of the concentric columns arrangement, the high velocity of free-fall of the towers did not seem to be correct.

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.

If WTC 7 was a natural collapse, it could be proven. If the result is positive, the mistake has to be found and the norms have to be adapted to prevent from similar cases!
