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.

None of the 3 buildings of the WTC collapsed due to fire. This would be completely inconsistent with the way they collapsed, with the structural design of the buildings or the effects of other, really large fires in buildings One of the biggest crimes in the history of the USA is still waiting for a criminal investigation worth its name. We don't know yet who perpetrated it and how it was done. Osama bin Laden is not sought by the FBI for the attack on the WTC by Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is an organization, created or invented by the USA's judiciary in order to be able to incriminate Osama bin Laden for the attacks on US embassies in Africa (BBC, The Power of Nightmares). Osama bin Laden and the troops in Afghanistan later labeled as Al Qaeda were USA assets in the fight against the Soviet Union.

The building collapses have obviously not been correctly explained. Elements of the collapses that raise doubt on official story: Observed explosions in buildings 1 and 2 prior to collapse, speed by which large sections of steel were hurled horizontally out from collapsing buildings 1 and 2, fall times close to that of a free fall, very little fire observed in building 7 before collapse.

If WTC7 were to have fallen due to a fire you would see each column collapse, setting up a chain reaction that would pull the others down with it. Instead what we see is a simultaneous collapse of the entire structure at free fall speed.

My first doubts about the official story began when I read the heavily documented The War on Freedom by Nafeez Massadaq Ahmed, listing all the public records of warnings to the US government. I was especially alarmed by the fact that standard operating procedure to dispatch fighter planes against a high-jacked plane had been violated. The technical evidence presented since then certainly warrants a full and honest investigation. I know several people in NYC were trying to initiate a suit to open such an investigation in the spring of '07, but have heard no more about their effort.

Saw the towers come down on CNN in luderitz, Namibia on 9 Sept 2001 - as far away from that world as you could get. Bought into the bush conspiracy immediately and thought nothing more about it until I was looking for some images of the world trade centers towers in July 2007 and came across the vast amount of info on the net about the incidents and the alternate theories (some very wacky and out there) to what happened. Then I saw both Richards slide show and Steve e Jones power point on the net and found the facts presented did not added up to what had been presented as the truth at the time. When you step back and have over view , what Richard is asking for makes complete sense. The research presented by Richard is sound. Buildings do not collapse the way these three did by themselves.

I really didn't suspect any thing was wrong when the buildings collapsed. Not being an engineer, or a building contracted, I didn't know what signs to look for. Or why I should be looking. It's when I looked at the Pentagon, & didn't see a plane, is when I started to ask questions. How could a plane with a wing span of more than 100 ft. Fit into a hole 60ft. across. Besides WHERE IS THE PLANE?

It is just too obvious that the two Towers were bombed from the inside with explosives planted there previously. There's simply too much evidence. Building #7 fell the same way, ordered to be pulled by the owner. Same collapse pattern as the Towers. Osama Bin Laden denied having anything to do with 9/11, but was pleased that it happened. Yet a war against Bin Laden and the al Quaida was launched anyhow, much like the invasion of Iraq and the killing of Saddam Hussein.

Looking at and listening to the TV broadcast, it just amazes me that the destruction of the Towers was said to have occurred due to burning jet fuel?! I am not an engineer, but I have seen buildings brought down with the use of controlled demolitions, falling into their own footprint. Also, Larry Silverstein, lessor of the WTC buildings, said on camera..we decided to pull-it referring to Building 7.

I am not an engineer or scientist but I have worked around molten metal and am a welder by trade. The scientific evidence speaks for itself. The implications are what send us all reeling with a tidal wave of emotions. The truth needs to be told and the facts being revealed by the scientists, architects and engineers will lead us to the truth. Many people had to be involved for this to be done so precisely. One of the first questions that came to mind for me was who would have access to nanothermite in such quantities required to collapse the towers? Someone will talk.

The political climate is a big disappointment especially the way the government is running the country. I too was dissatisfied t the way the government investigated the 9/11 incident. I agree, an independent group should do the REAL unbiased investigation, although I know the government will try to evade the issue and cover up will continue. I do not trust our government and because of that I feel betrayed. The illuminate, masons and their cronies are behind this incident. They will not stop until the one world government campaign is in existence. With everyone doing there share in exposing their dirty scheme we will eventually proclaim victory but that might mean bloodshed. Like the saying goes, ie; our government is not elected, they are selected. As long as corruption pervades within our government, peace will never be attained.Let us hope the new commission that will investigate will put light to our embarrashing man made 9/11 crisis.

From the research that I have done, including my background in science and energy technology, I have always had doubts about the official story of how the Twin Towers collapsed. After viewing the events that occurred on 9/11 a number of times, it makes more sense to me that the buildings came down as a result of several controlled demolitions and/or via the use of advanced energy weapon systems.

I do not have a science degree. I have only one year at a university. When I first heard about others doubting the validity of the story of 9/11 I felt relief. I have since researched the growing amount of information that many experts have come forth with. It seems obvious that the science and well as the visual evidence does not support what we have been told.
As I watched the coverage of the events of 9/11 I had an intuitive distrust of the information provided by the media and the government. The questions that I thought should be obvious to ask were not asked. The photographs and news videos that were released did not support what was being reported. While the coverage was horrific to watch, the highjacking story was too improbable to be real.

My main concern is that state and federal laws were broken in relation to crime scene or air crash scene investigations. All the steel from the site was being sold as scrap within days of 9/11 when it should all have been photographed logged and stored for analysis. - - - - The commission also stated that investigations for the use of explosives were not made as there were no witnesses who said they heard explosions when in fact countless NY firefighters said on TV they heard explosions.

Why do controlled demolition engineers other spending weeks to carefully prepare high-rise buildings with explosive charges and steel cutting charges when they can just use a few hundred litres of kerosene? 2) Why do foundrymen and materials engineers have to use expensive induction furnaces, blast furnaces or arc furnaces to melt steel, if they can melt steel with some kerosene (jet fuel) which is much cheaper? Think about it! 3) Why is it that engineers design motorcycle and car engine pistons and cylinders using iron and alloy steel, if these components are constantly exposed to FIRE AND COMBUSTIONS? 4) Why is it that our cooking pots, frying pans and Barbeque hot plates are made out of steel, and have you noticed any of these melting or sagging due to direct exposure to gas flames or air fires? Try it! See if you can get liquid molten iron from a jet-fuel air fire! See if you can even melt a piece of aluminium foil (melting point 650 C) in an air fire, using as much fuel as you like, for as long as you like. 5) Name ONE steel-frame building that caught on fire and collapsed all the way down to the ground levels!... Out of the dozens of skyscraper fires in the last 100 years, JUST NAME ONE TALL STEEL BUILDING that was TOTALLY destroyed, due to fire and gravity alone. 6) Try to get powderized concrete just by burning it with jet fuel fire! Anyone feel like doing such tests? More food for thought: Fires that kindled from the fuel in the planes were too shortlasting and weak to be able to severely damage the structure of the skyscrapers. Even in the extreme situation, the heat from a kerosene fire cannot threat the durability of a steel trunk. With the temperature of carbohydrate fires that reaches only 825C (approx. 1517F) steel weakens at 800C (approx. 1470F) and melts at 1585C (approx. 2890F). In the skyscrapers of the WTC the surroundings were not at all ideal as there were far too many steel columns and they led heat away from the burning area. WTC 1 burned for 102 minutes and WTC 2 for 56 minutes only. A fire burning much longer, from 10 to 20 hours, could slowly increase the burning temperature down to perhaps 1100C (approx. 2010F). Provided there is more substance to burn, such a fire will damage concrete and irons, but not severely heavy steel constructions.

This 3rd tower which collapsed is just not credible to be caused by only fire. The evidence to me looks to be an implosion that brought this tower down.

Well I'm no engineer. But I am a builder who has worked with steel beams. And I bet they're a lot smaller than the WTC beams.
Well... How can a plane cleanly cut through external steel beam walls and the floors without the planes wings, engine or tail piece snapping off? Or a decline in acceleration when the planes hit the building? Even if the plane did cleanly cut through the external walls, there's no way it would cut through the floors!.. Look at the floors in a high rise car park for an example. I can't see a plane slicing trough concrete and steel floors. And then, WTC 7. What a joke, ay! Office fires!!lol Next time I need to bring a building down i'll just light some office fires and it should come down at free fall speed like the WTC 7.. Right!?? And the Pentagon, what another joke, they're trying to tell us that a plane hit the building!!!lol Well that's one rather small looking hole for a plane!! And there were no marks on the grass, no wing or tail marks, or in fact not even wings and a tail piece to be found!! All a bit fishy to me!!! Let the truth to come out!!

I'm a concerned American citizen, a mother and grandmother, massage therapist and registered herbalist (AHG).
I was aware of the third building collapse without being hit by a plane and was shocked that this was not even mentioned in the 9/11 report. In a program that I saw regarding the collapse of all three buildings, more than 70 credible scientists and engineers said they believed the evidence pointed more towards buildings collapsing in the manner of a demolition, not by a plane crash. They were investigating some of the debris from the site which they thought may prove that it comes from a demolition. I would like to see a truly impartial investigative panel filled with scientists, engineers, etc. delve into the facts about 9/11 more thoroughly than the first report, that did not even mention the third building collapse.

Have practical experience working with metal, especially aluminum, have basic knowledge of quantum physics. Am now informing, training in electricity, (free) energy and new (divine, cosmic) science and elevating consciousness. Have theoretical and practical knowledge of energetic therapy and health consultancy.
The question is no longer: could the 3rd building have collapsed by extreme heat or the trembling caused by the collapse of the other 2 buildings? Because simply we all know better than that, we don't buy those lies anymore, we are being lied to beyond belief. The question is: did they (the ones that are truly responsible for 9/11 drama) use explosives? You can bet on that. (no irony involved here). Was there possibly something else besides basement-level explosives. Could very well be.
