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.

Fire on a few floors does not remove all structural support of a 110 story structure. Below the fire was unaffected steel and concrete with a design strength to support five times the weight of the building. Any collapse would have stopped immediately at a few floors. Instead we are told to believe 110 floors of structure magically and instantaneously turned into butter allowing the free fall of the building. Collapse cannot cause the concrete of the whole building to turn to dust. There would be a pile of concrete rubble in the building foot print or nearby. Instead 90% of buildings 1 & 2 are spread all over lower Manhattan as fine dust. This is blatantly not believable!

Given an even basic understanding of high school physics, it's painfully obvious that high rises do not suddenly pulverise mid-air; fire-protected structural steel will not melt when exposed briefly to a pool of burning jet fuel; and virtually undamaged office buildings built to code simply cannot collapse symmetrically at near-free fall speed due to a few limited fires. Clearly, the 9/11 tragedy was not a physics-defying Hollywood blockbuster, despite what the official narrative desperately would like us to believe. It was a real-world event, with real people perishing, and with untold suffering and damage as a direct consequence. We owe it to the victims of that fateful day to expose the nonsensical reasoning (or lack of reasoning) that makes up the bulk of the NIST 'investigation' -- we would merely have to let the evidence and the laws of nature speak for themselves, that's all.

Didn't seem right from the get-go. Spoke to an electrical engineer during an inspection on the morning of 11 Sep 2001. He had not yet heard that the two towers had collapsed, and couldn't believe, from the simple facts we knew at the time, that aircraft impacts could precipitate a collapse of the World Trade Towers. Soon the President announced names of the highjackers who had crashed the planes, and propagated the story of Al Qaeda as the terrorism perpetrators. Right, and a highjacker left a passport that survived the pulverization of the Towers! Too many plain tall tales and improbable explanations surround the circumstances of that day. Now we can begin to understand that, as Barry Zwicker's Towers of Deception book sketches out, the traumatic shock of the spectacular experience makes the mind need explanation, and the initial propaganda catapulted by Bush and the media that most people did accept as explanation even if tentatively, causes pain when contradicted by countering evidence. Statements of the A/E professionals here provide ample brief summary of that evidence.

It is difficult for me to believe from a technical point of view that building 7 collapsed as the official report indicates from fire and debris damage. Portions of the building may have collapsed from damage however, the entire building collapsed symmetrically including the portions of the building which were in no way compromised as a result of the collapse of the twin towers.

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. Many wars started with false flags and coordinated lies from the power structure.

The officially distributed version of events does not add up scientifically or logically. Anyone who has ever seen controlled demolitions of buildings, can see that these were textbook examples of professional controlled demolitions. How come Mark Loiseaux and Controlled Demolitions Inc. (CDI) was on scene so quickly with all flights shut down right after? Major news outlets ( BBC, Fox and CNN) all announced the collapse of WTC 7 ( as well as specific details: the 47 story Salomon Brother Building has also collapsed, due to fires) far in advance of the actual collapse - proving foreknowledge and indicating that a cover story was being fed to the media. The alleged phone calls from the plane from the FBI inspector General's wife, speaking of hijackers with box cutters ( the source of that part of the myth), were impossible back then: cell phones didn't work at that altitude and there were NO phones on the backs of the seats in that type of plane.

I graduated from University of Texas Arlington with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I have been employed with the United States Patent and Trademark office as a patent examiner for 10 years.
I don't believe that less than 1/4 of a building can fall into the top of 3/4 of a standing building and crash through, fly through, or collapse through at free fall speed, terminal velocity or accelerate at the speed of gravity as if the 3/4 of the standing building was not there, due to gravity and desk fires alone. There would not be enough energy in that system to destroy the remaining 3/4 of the building into dust as was seen by the videos. To destroy the remaining 3/4 of the standing building into dust and rubble would require an introduction of more energy by way of explosives, as can be heard from the videos, eyewitness accounts, and forensic evidence. The case would be the same for all 3 World Trade Center towers.

I knew something wasn't right the day of Sept 11. I have worked in burned out buildings, and many structural steel buildings from the ground up.
I knew something wasn't right that day of Sept 11. My suspicions were proven, in my opinion, when they started carting off the debris so soon before a thorough investigation could take place. It really breaks my heart.

I have more than the high school physics education it takes to soundly debunk the official story of WTC7's collapse. Now what?
For years I didn't even know there was a third steel skyscraper to collapse on 9/11. When I saw the footage for the first time I had the same reaction many news anchors voiced live that day- it's eerily similar to a controlled demolition. When I looked deeper, with an open mind, I found that the physics of the collapses confirm that observation and expose the official story as clearly false.

It is inconcievable to me that all three buildings collapsed as they did - especially bldg 7 which wasn't even hit by a plane - but exploded independently and fell to the ground as if it were caused by a controlled demolition.

It is impossible that this was caused by the reported cause of disaster. Through misinformation we have received a false idea of the events. It is very clear that these were intentional and caused from within the boundaries of the Unites States as opposed to foreign intervention.

I just retired after 34 years of work in one place. My health is sliding faster then I would want. I'm diagnosed with C.I.D.P. It's a rare form of Neuropathy. It affects all muscles also. It gradually gets worse all the time and there is no cure. I hope to travel some and to get back into hiking again. My time is running kind of fast now. I've had this for 10 years now. I got it from taking statin drugs. I just turned 55 years of age.
I was at work on 9/11 and some co-workers and I were listening to NPR on the radio while working. Then the news came over the radio about the first strike. One co-worker went to his locker and retrieved a 9 inch TV, which we watched. We just quit working and were in silence as we watched the second Tower get hit. Then we watched in horror as the first Tower fell. I always remember this next part. Not knowing the truth for another 9 years, I turned to a co-worker and said, Wow! They sure don't make buildings like they used to. When I did see the truth, it was because I was looking for video footage of 9/11. I was blind sided.

I have studied History, American Studies and Politics for 5 years, and have been specifically following the fall out of 9/11 since the day it happened. Only now does it feel like the truth may come out, with the support of academics and architects particularly.
It is very clear that amount of concrete and steel couldn't have been displaced by a simple 'pancake fashion' collapse. Some explosives must have been used to take the three Towers down, into their own footprint, at free-fall speed. The implications of explosives however, are of epic proportions.

The Twin Towers exploded into dust and shattered steel. I don't believe that the Towers collapsed spontaneously. It looks like controlled demolition. Plus, Building 7 imploded late on 9/11 and it was not hit by an aircraft. All the buildings collapsed like the art of controlled demolition.

I am an American citizen and have been living in Israel for the past 40 years. Still, I try to pay attention to all that is going on there. However, it was the official story and that alone I was hearing over the news media. Then I was sent a video by someone I work with.
After having heard what Architects and Engineers were saying about the collapse of Building #7 at the Trade Center, I found their conclusions as to the events that took place that day to be shockingly believable.

I was born and raised in the California Bay Area. I worked in the area of drug abuse and community organization before I moved to Israel at the age of 28. I married an American who I met in Israel. We have three children, and my husband has been working as a musician playing the French Horn his entire career. I did not find work in my field when I came to Israel, and studied to become an English teacher, which I was never entirely satisfied with. All my life I have been creative with my hands, and made a business out of it when the internet first became popular.
Having heard the explanation of what happened to building #7 from Architects and Engineers, among others, I became convinced that the official story is not the real or whole story. Also so many reports of explosions that were ignored in the official version; calls in itself for further investigation.

Based on my own research into the circumstances surrounding the 9/11 tragedy, I believe there is a lot of information being withheld from the general public that we have a right to. One of the first steps toward revealing the truth is a full understanding of those circumstances, which is why I believe a deeper investigation into the collapse of the buildings is of utmost importance.

I have recently reviewed several documentaries featuring Richard Gage and I'm completely convinced that the official story is the either the result of professional neglect or outright criminal intent on the part of those charged with investigating the events of 9/11 and interpreting those events for the public.

To this day, 9/11 remains on my mind. I see it online, I see buildings that remind me of the Trade Centers, I even dream of it , making it that much harder to bear. I confess that, in the beginning, I was a skeptic who wanted no part of anything I considered to be conspiracy in nature. However, after watching 9/11: In Plane Site, 9/11: Loose Change, and then watching the commercial for Remember Building 7, I have to say that there is more to this awful day then meets the eye. Americans are not receiving the full facts and families are being lied to. Those buildings did not come down on their own and there are facts to support it. We deserve the truth about why and, more importantly, how those buildings came down.

I am a Realtor by trade, have been in Real Estate for 12 years now. I am looking for answers.
The official story doesn't sit right with me. It has too many discrepancies, these discrepancies need to be addressed. The coincidence of all 3 buildings falling into their foot-print is an anomaly, the fact that all 3 buildings fell at all is strange period. These buildings shouldn't have fallen, I don't need to be an expert to come up with that conclusion. I was 18 years old on 9/11 and even then, watching it live, I knew that it wasn't right. The fact that there are over 150 professional witness that attest to hearing/seeing explosions NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. There was never any mention of explosives in the official story, so even if one person says that they saw/heard explosions...that should be investigated immediately. There needs to be an investigation into the companies involved for cleanup, investigations, selling of the evidence, the heads of those companies should be investigated to see what ties they have to government officials. All in all, too much was denied, when it should've been proven wrong. The evidence that is pointing towards controlled demolition is too strong, and if it can't be proven wrong, it should be investigated further. There is more evidence that points to a controlled demolition causing the buildings to collapse...than a fire and plane strike. Thank you.
