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.

Any ordinary non-engineer citizen who has seen a controlled demolition film clip, like those shown on the Discovery Channel or similar channel, can readily see that the twin towers and WTC 7 were brought down in exactly the same way. After I saw some internet videos on the analysis of the towers' collapse and heard the commentary with it, I was convinced the whole thing was planned. From that point, I started linvestigating the bigger picture about the Bush administration and the Iraq war. Unfortunately, I must conclude that this country has become corrupt to its core - maybe not the Obama administration, we'll have to see - and that a major overhaul of our political system is desperately needed before we devolve into martial law or anarchy.

Graduated Delft University of Technology in 1994, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Followed several courses in Stiffness and strength and mechanics of structures. My major was Flexible production automation. Continued with a 2-year post graduate study to receive a Master of Technological Design degree in 1997. Have been working as an IT consultant in manufacturing since then.
The accelerated collapse of the WTC buildings at nearly perfect free-fall speed, is physically only possible with a controlled demolition of the support structure (core & outside) of the building. There is no feature of the collapse that would support the theory of a weakened steel structure. On the other side, all characteristics of the collapses point to controlled demolition. In addition there's a lot of other evidence that can be learned from David Gage's excellent lecture, like the thermite evidence, witnesses hearing explosions, molten steel etc. No scientist, engineer or architect seeing especially WTC7 falling, could deny this is anything but controlled demolition. When seeing quotes of the NIST report it becomes painfully obvious the collapse has not been researched or explained in a scientific manner.

I was there as an active Firefighter with the FDNY on recall from home, just in time to hear the explosion and see Building # 7 come down. I lost 343 fellow Firefighters that day and America lost more people with that False Flag attack than we did at Pearl Harbor. The many falsehoods and lies along with the Official NIST Report and the disgraceful 9/11 commission's now known false disinformation motivated me to start looking further into the who, how and why of this treasonous action. I recently spoke to some Firefighters in Arizona and some of them had not heard about Bldg 7. This tells me we need to work smarter and harder!

I am now retired, and spend most of my time designing and building electronic and mechanical devices. My hobbies are scientific research and experiments, and my two grand children.
I would agree that there can be no other logical explanation from the evidence to date except that a controlled demolition using the latest technology of ordnance was involved. All three buildings collapse in the same manner? Impossible! If someone reaches into a haystack and pulls out a needle, he is lucky, if he reaches in again and gets another needle, wait a minute something is not right here, and if he reaches a third time and gets a needle, well the answer is quite simple. The haystack is full of needles! IT WAS PLANNED!

When I watched the news and watched the buildings fall, I turned to my wife and said "that was an implosion." We do work on high rises and are very aware of how well those beams are protected. Also, there is not enough heat produced by burning jet fuel to cause any kind of steel failure. Some sag maybe but that would be the extent of it. No building collapses into it's own footprint without demolition.

So many glaring things my common sense tells me, the molten steel, impossible. 6% of the dust/rubble upon evidence was micro steel balls, my gut tells me they're from lots and lots of molten steel. I'm a mechanic, I know all about how metal melts with using my oxy/acetaline burner. I saw tonight on slowed down video of the towers collapsing, just before everything disappeared under that decending mushroom, that it appeared that on one side of the building, the collapse was quicker down the right than it was the left. The 'out of time' collapse really stood out as being something out of sync.

I am an amateur historian and student. I have researched the 9/11 event and the geopolitical reasons behind it for many years now since discovering it was much more than the public was told.
The towers were turned into dust in mid air. It is obvious a gravitational collapse could not have caused this effect. The molten steel is a veritable smoking gun pointing to exotic demolition technique.

Why did they break? Because of what NIST calls differential thermal expansion, which is simply a technical way of saying that, in response to the heat from the fires, the steel beams expanded more than the floor slabs did.

I believe the truth will help us find peace and bring justice to those who caused 9/11. Look beyond what the government says, look at the facts, the controlled demolition shows how it can collapse so quickly.

I have many issues concerning the conflict of interest of all those involved with pre 9/11 rehab of the Towers, as well as lack of info regarding the disaster. The investigation seems to be remedial at best. A new investigation is a must and our government, if at all on the side of the people, should have no problem with this.

I find it impossible to believe that the buildings ever got hot enough to implode into their own footprints. It would take temperatures three times that amount to destroy the bearing members and gussets that held that building up. More than anything, no other building in the world ever collapsed from a fire. Also, not seeing any blueprints of that building, I am going to assume with great confidence that there are multiple chilled waterlines 3 in diameter and greater which would have expelled great amounts of water when the lines were broken. Were the pumps and the water supply shut down that day?

You show me one person who truly believes that an airplane reduced a building that was specifically designed to withstand impressive amounts of impact to absolute dust and I will show you what the bliss of ignorance looks like.

Long time supporter of the 911 truth movement and extremely frustrated. I have had the privilege to be an entrepreneur for most of my life. I choose businesses which dovetail with my beliefs. I have worked in publishing, a software development and alternative energy spaces.
The most damning thing about the official position of the United States Government is the complete lack of interest in open and hones discussion of this topic. No satisfactory explanation exists for how three buildings collapsed at near free falll speed. Secondly the use of the events of 911 to rationalize the perpetration of two prolonged, violently destructive wars is more deeply disturbing than the apparent disinterest in understanding what really happened. It is difficult to carry.

I remember footage on British TV showing building implosions. I still remember my initial feeling while watching the obliteration of the Towers. I recalled how similar the footage was. I was left with contrasting feelings. How could 2 planes bring the Towers down especially after the bombings in 1993? This was when the buildings were strengthened. I realized then as I do now that the US government was and is complicit in the destruction and deaths of its own citizens.

Many years of structural design and construction in the aircraft, gas and oil industry, and residential buildings.
The twin towers, WTC North and South, were constructed in 3 separate systems independent of each other. These were the center spine or columns in which the elevator shafts were housed, the outer columns functioning similar to buttresses and used to support the outer weight of each floor and to hang the windows on, then each floor that was suspended, independently of each other, from the center columns and the outer columns. Suspicions arose immediately with me upon the collapse of both Towers in this respect. All that basically happened is that the additional weight of a 757 was added to the structures at different levels. I use the word levels because I again became immediately suspicious of reports referencing floors. Obviously the 80th floor could not support the 81st floor on top of it, but this is not what happened. We all know that the floors were suspended from the center columns. Well the center columns at 7:30 a.m. on 9/11 were holding everything up above it very well. Again, all that happened is that the weight of a 757 was added to the building and in this case the center columns were more than capable of supporting the additional weight. Instead of using the word floors we need to speak in terms of height or level at which the aircraft struck the building. There was no damage to the steel columns at the foundation of the buildings or at the first, second, third levels etc. up to the point of impact. Another suspicion is that the two Towers were struck at different levels, yet both collapsed in exactly the same manner. This is impossible. If the additional weight of a 757 was enough to collapse the Towers, why did this not happen as soon the aircraft penetrated the structures. Again, any fire damage at the 82nd level would not have buckled the 70th level, or the 50th, or the 79th etc. or weakened the center columns at those levels.

It is so obvious these buildings have been brought down in a controlled demolition. That's what I assumed the morning of September 11th, 2001 as I watched the news coverage from the beginning, everyone stating explosion, second explosion. I have spent several hours learning the science behind demolition by watching many documentaries including Explosive Evidence Experts Speak Out, and I am ENTIRELY CONVINCED the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition as unquestionable evidence PROVES IT. The media, as well as the government agencies appointed to investigate this tragedy, has covered up witness testimony and many, many other accounts and evidence. All the action the government has taken in the Middle East, all the men and women in the military who have lost their lives over this is now in question. WE MUST REINVESTIGATE!!

There needs to be a thorough investigation. For the sake of the 3,000 persons killed in 9-11, for the sake of the friends and family still suffering their absense, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of military men and women and their families who felt they need to protect our country against this kind of event in the future - please investigate and put these claims to rest or reveal the truth!

I am a licensed Master Cosmetologist in the state of Ga. Just your ordinary citizen who wonders what really happened!
I don't believe the whole truth is known as to what happened on 9-11 for whatever reason. In respect to the lives that were lost that day, a full investigation should be done and I don't understand why one hasn't been done yet after 12 years.

I am a lifelong student, inside and outside of a classroom I have always been fascinated with learning. Knowledge is almost soothing. While nearly all of my research pertaining to 9/11 has been prompted by my own volition, the groundwork to rationally think through such a complex problem was passed down to me by my teachers. I pledge, to the best of my ability, to remain a well educated, well informed member of society capable of critical thinking.
The motive to coordinate & execute a plan of attack with this level of military precision must be dire. I believe that understanding the issues behind peak oil and the consequences it bears for mankind had led the perpetrators of 9/11 to take such drastic measures to pursue a campaign of hostile takeover for the dwindling amount of fossil fuels left in the middle east.
