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.

BUILDING 7 is the real problem for me as well as many other weird evidence that just does not make sense. I did not appreciate what appeared to be a cover-up of the 9-11 Commission and their report. It is well past time that a real investigation be done by a fair and honorable committee.

There is no way a plane or fire would cause the building to collapse, it must have been detonated. Steel melts at an extremely high temperature, and so the fire could not have cause the steel infrastructure of the building to collapse. The only way to is explode a bomb.

Dear Mr. Gage: Thank you for taking on the architectural and engineering review of the collapses on 9/11 of the buildings at the World Trade Center site. I was dubious of the official explanations from the outset. You see, as a professional city planner in New York, I knew those buildings and their design. I attended and participated in the hearings at the New York City Hall when the buildings were first proposed. I argued for the buildings on the basis that the interior core represented a way of internalizing the cost of mass transit, which in our system is almost impossible to finance through public bond issues. So I was well aware of the strength of the core with its steel columns, surrounding the elevators, and stairwells. I should also mention that with a degree in architecture and instruction in steel design (my Yale professor had worked on the Empire State Building) I was and am no novice in structural design. When I saw the rapid collapse of the towers, I knew that they could not come down the way they did without explosives and the severing of core columns at the base. The spewing of debris from the towers where the planes entered also could not have occurred simply with just a structural collapse. Something else was happening to make this occur. Moreover, the symmetrical collapse is strong evidence of a controlled demolition. A building falling from asymmetrical structural failure would not collapse so neatly, nor so rapidly, as you have pointed out. What we are faced with is a lie of such proportions that even to suggest it makes one subject to ridicule and scorn. Who could have done such a terrible thing? Certainly not our government or military. Rogue elements in the intelligence agencies? I have no idea. But I do know that the official explanation doesn't hold water. An open, honest re-opening of the case is in order. A near majority of Americans agrees with this view. Let us keep pressing for an honest investigation.

As a firefighter and engineer I have been involved in multiple large structural fires. One in particular was a steel framed warehouse that housed aviation fuel and other volatile substances. Not once during the course of the fire did I ever see the steel universal beams in a molten state or even close to a molten state.

I have worked in the construction field either in fire restoration or new construction for more than 25 years. I've owned a hardwood floor company in Denver for the last 15 of those years with as many as 6 employees.
It has never sat well with me that the buildings fell in such a straight fashion and settled in such a small debris field. On 9/11 I remember my wife asking me if the buildings would collapse and telling her I didn't think it would be possible under any circumstance that a building that size could fall.

I am a general studies graduate from Indiana University. I am a caregiver for the elderly and a business owner. I have helped to build many structures and understand what it takes to have a solid foundation for such a large building.
I feel that the explosions in Building 1 and 2 are compelling enough to warrant further investigation. Building 7 appears to be that of controlled demolition. The explosions and probable controlled demolition of building seven are enough to warrant further investigation so as to provide America's citizens with much needed answers.

I saw what appeared to be calculated explosions occur several floors below the collapsing sections of the towers. There are not any visible concrete chunks of any size seen around ground zero. And there are pieces of steel beams lodged in buildings over 600 feet away! WTF!!!

Thank you for bringing this to the public's attention. I am shocked, but the truth about the explosions in the World Trade Center buildings is now clear. I agree that it is important that an in-depth investigation be done and I can't understand why our government would want anything less than a full investigation to learn the truth and to change security and safety practices in our American buildings.

After visiting a friend near Nyack, I was on a bus heading into NYC on 9/11 when commuters began receiving phone calls about a terrorist attack; our bus turned around at the last opportunity before the Lincoln Tunnel. The rush to justify an unnecessary war made the official 9/11 story suspect. Everything presented by AE911Truth makes sense and a competent investigation should definitely be done.

I am convinved that 911 is an inside job!! I am going to be a part of the team that PROVES IT!! That is why I just joined this site, because THIS IS the team who WILL PROVE IT!!! I will help this team with whatever I can, whenever I can!!
There is absolutely NO WAY that WT1, WT2 & WT7 collapsed solely due to the combined plane strikes & the fires caused by the aviation fuel! Those towers WT1 & WT2 were exceptionally strong! Leslie Robertson & his team made sure of that! There is no such thing as a coincidence! Too many things had to happen in an organised sequence, for these towers to collapse, it is impossible that thry all came together at that time & in the manner that transpired. The 911 Comission Report Confirmed that FACT!

On Sept 11, 2001 as I watched the first tower fall live on TV, my first thought was that looks like a demolition. I do not know why that was my first thought as I do not have any experience or knowledge of engineering or demolitions. I have done a lot of research on 9/11 and have come to believe that the official version of the happenings associated with 9/11 is not the truth. I want our elected officials now in office to have a new and independent investigation of 9/11 so that the citizens of the US can finally learn the truth. The families of the victims and all American citizens deserve to know the truth.
