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.

' As a former fighter pilot, I regard the failure to intercept the first airliner on 9/11 prior to impact, as one of the worst derelictions of duty in the history of this nation. We routinely scramble fighters 80 to 100 times every year to intercept 'unknowns,' some even turning out to be flocks of birds or radar ghosts. An alert interceptor from FLORIDA could possibly have arrived in time to intercept the first airliner. I'm sure it would have broken the pilot's heart to shoot down an airplane full of people: the inevitability of its flightpath makes the math simple: they were going to die, drop them somewhere that minimizes additional deaths on the ground. An airliner switching off its transponder squawk, turning 180 degrees off course and failing to respond to radio calls, sets off alarms across the entire Eastern seaboard. Don't try to feed me the crap the media was spooning out, that Boeing 767's 'disappeared' from radar. Civil air traffic control routinely informs pilots of flocks of birds, which show up well on low-tech air traffic control radar even though their squawks lack airspeed and altitude telemetry, and NORAD TRACKS SCREWS DROPPED BY ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE. Failing to intercept an aircraft in these circumstances is equivalent to gunners smoking and joking on the deck of your ship watching kamikazes crash into it. That's just the first impact. Recall that at that moment, there were two or three other aircraft 180 degrees off course with transponders and radios off: CONFIRMED HOSTILES FLYING TOWARDS OUR NATION'S CAPITAL. National defense policies adhered to for decades require enough interceptors sitting strip alert 24 / 7 / 365, within striking distance of the world's most heavily defended target in the most powerful nation on earth, to get most of a *squadron* on station in the time available. And instead, several news crews perform the intercept successfully WITH HELICOPTERS; so we can watch on TV while it happens TWO MORE TIMES. Next you have two buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprints, in defiance of the laws of physics, after taking hits they were specifically designed to withstand. And then a third, that wasn't hit by anything. After that, we watch while for some 200 days firefighters pump water into the steaming wreckage, to cool down exactly what? YOU CAN'T MELT STEEL WITH KEROSENE, right? Black smoke means low-temperature, oxygen-starved combustion, right? Water from fire sprinklers will not extinguish a petroleum fire, fuel spills absent retardant generally burn until all the fuel is gone, right? Why do you suppose the steel scrap recovered from the debris was shipped off to CHINA as quickly as it could be loaded onto trucks and ships, while even routine analyses was FORBIDDEN, if only in the interest of discovering why this steel failed so remarkably--a failure unprecedented in the history of engineering? As a military man you could not look me in the eye and try to tell me that an operation the size of our invasion of Iraq was possible without planning begun more than a YEAR prior to 9/11. I don't give a damn about any 'conspiracy theories,' theories are not relevant to the dereliction, omissions and obviously preplanned fabrications associated with 9/11.

A brainy, nerdy child, I was politically right-wing in high school in Virginia, but gradually shifted to the left during and after my engineering training in North Carolina, until after moving to Berkeley, California in 1998. Since around 2000 my interests have shifted away from politics and toward spirituality and permaculture. My view is that we should know the truth but build a sustainable future rather than trying to fight evil.
The WTC was obviously destroyed by controlled demolition; no possible combination of plane crashes or fires could have caused that damage. Those who believe, They wouldn't have done it or They couldn't have gotten away with it may still be psychologically unable to accept that our country is possibly governed by a band of ruthless criminals. Minds open gradually. Once a person's mind begins to open to this reality, they (at least currently) have easy access to the available evidence.

Truth hurts, but heals faster. From day one I believed that these buildings was destroyed by controlled demolition techniques. If you don't know about how buildings are demolished, just look at all three buildings' collapse pattern. They collapsed the same way. What a coincidence? Different type of structures, designed by different architects and engineers, behaving the same way, and falling down as a free fall. We need the truth.

I've been an engineer in the automotive industry for over 18 yrs. I went to school at Lawrence Technological University and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering Technology in 1995.
Never in history has a metal building structure ever collapsed due to a fire. WTC 7 never even got hit by an airplane and it also fell on it's own footprint. Thermite was found everywhere at the site. All cement was pulverized indicating high explosives where used. Explosive blasts could be seen in slow motion as before the floor collapse. Steel could be seen melting before the collapse and was still molten for 2 wks after the collapse. Steel melts at approx. 2800 deg F. and jet fuel burns at 1800 deg. F. The jet fuel did not melt the steel period! Btw, kerosene heaters burn at 1800 deg F. so why doesn't the metal housing melt? A terrorist passport was found at the WT 1&2 scene in good condition while the smallest part found was a keypad from a telephone. Give me a break!

I'm a person of no wealthy background, no credible or justified source. I am from small, rural town located in the foothills of North-Western, North Carolina. I was barely seven years old on the day of 9/11. Even then I did not understand why it happened. Now I only yearn to understand why it had to happen.
As I grew older I began to hear of the conspiracy theories floating around, especially the documentaries such as, Loose Change, and Zietgiest. Curiosity begot the best of me and I watched both, I was a little too naive to comprehend the immensity of the information both films had to offer to an open mind. As I grew even older I reviewed both films again and came to an ultimate realization once I saw ae911thruth on netflix some time ago, since all three were conveniently featured. After watching all three documentaries my realization is that tragic event that was 9/11 is an inside job. To deny it is blatantly ignorant and to blithely adhere to it is illusory. With so many credible sources confirming that there had to be some type of thermal explosive device and some sort of cutting of the columns like a demolition engineer would perform on a building being demolished. The world is ready for the truth.

Why do they all look like controlled destruction? How were the buildings able to fall at free fall speed? What produced the molten metal and iron spheres? What produced the chemicals associated with Thermite in the samples taken from the dust?

My understanding is that no steel framed buildings had ever fully collapsed upon themselves until WTC 1, 2 and 7. The first step at a crime scene is to secure the scene and protect possible evidence. Ground zero was a crime scene, yet even the most basic steps in crime scene protocol were ignored. Evidence was destroyed and the steel was quickly shipped to China. 3,000 people killed and we willingly destroy the evidence... Why?

Graduated with two BBA's one in Finance and one in Real Estate 1989. Worked in Kansas City Metro area on short duration assignments for Temp. agencies. Mostly projects. Administration and accounting assignments. The accounting assignments were mostly in payroll processing and auditing projects. The longest assignments were in hospital administration (Level 1), government (school district reconciliation of construction projects), payroll processing payroll tax filings for national corporation, and, long term internal auditing assignment for the City of Kansas City Missouri in the treasury department. Then Autism started being diagnosed. The first child was Jesus. Returned to Texas because of ailing parents. By 2001 both older boys diagnosed with Autism. Later, two other boys diagnosed. Then lastly a 5th child diagnosed with ASD. 2003 both my husband and I had courses in disability advocacy. Husband Juan Rios graduated from the Partners in Policymaking course. We are full time caregivers because of the numerous medical appointments and when older boys entered high school, husband was on campus daily. Oldest son attended graduation ceremony, obtaining state alternate in UIL Tennis, district champion, UIL tennis, UIL golf. Transitioned with his brother OUT of modified courses and is successful. Younger brother Jesus district finalist in tennis with his brother, and silver medalist state UIL solo and ensemble music competition. He also transferred OUT of modified classes. We are very involved in disability advocacy. Every accomplishment our children have is primarily a result of civil rights litigation, and intense medical intervention. The children are still being treated for Autism at Driscoll Children's Hospital and Local Rehab service providers.
I had calls from panic-stricken parents that day. I chose to remain calm and keep my children in school. For weeks, there were no children running and playing in the playground. The children spent most of their time inside their classrooms. It was eerie to go to an elementary school that is in session and NOT hear or see any children running, laughing or playing. For years I waited for a peer-reviewed report. I did not expect a little known government office to make the investigation report. I was expecting a large, multinational blue ribbon panel of architects, engineers, and scientists to analyze the tower collapse. This is because I used to work in high-rise buildings. What bothered me was that the possibility of a full-sized plane is supposed to be factored into the design of these high-rises since they share the air space with them to some extent. I feel I was short-changed by the neglect of the United States government on the investigation of the building collapses. If this government agency maintains their conclusions that ordinary fuel and office fires caused this pulverization and collapse of the high rises-- then none of the buildings are safe and should be evacuated AND condemned immediately. However, I don't think that's the case. During one of my assignments in Kansas City, I was reviewing and updating the safety manuals for the hospital. I was using OSHA and other materials and publications for JCAHCO inspectors. I spent a large amount of time with the hospital's engineers and architects. Hospitals are fortresses....I had to update the materials, include the fire/emergency exits, and haz-mats for all materials -- including the msds for the color coating of the wires that are inside the walls. I EXPECTED that high-rises are just as strong as hospital trauma centers (especially level 1 trauma centers.) Other than the apparent frailty of WTC buildings, there was the disturbing eyewitness accounts of someone instructing the people in tower number 2 to return to their offices and stop the evacuation. This is so totally against any safety procedure when your building may be structurally compromised. What happened to that? Who was behind that? In any case, especially large fires, the building must be completely evacuated and then inspected BEFORE the workers are to return. I witnessed a building that collapsed near my home...it was a four story building in downtown Victoria, Texas. The beams those pillars, fell outward, fell down. They looked like fingers of death as they lay there from their base. The 9/11 videos have the pillars shooting out -- shooting UP into the air. Pillars don't fall down by SHOOTING UP FIRST!

There is numerous video, photographic and scientific, evidence pointing to the fact that some form of explosives were used to bring down WTC Towers 1, 2 and 7, NOT jet fuel and structural compromise from the impact of two(2) commercial airliners as stated in the official 9/11 Commission and NIST reports. If you take a look at different video evidence of other similarly built skyscrapers from years before AND after the 9/11 events, you'll find that NO steel/concrete reinforced skyscrapers of similar fashion have ever collapsed in the manner of WTCs 1, 2 and 7, a few of which had been engulfed in flames for more than 16 hours! Remember that WTC 1 and 2 were only ablaze for less than 2 hours each before both falling straight down in less than 10 seconds each, nearly in the same exact fashion, minutes apart. It is careful to note that the South Tower fell first, even though having been hit second. It is physically and scientifically impossible for the heat from the planes' jet fuel, and other accelerants located in the floors of impact, to have had any effect of softening or melting of the concrete-reinforced steel frame of the buildings. There are countless eye- and earwitness accounts of multiple explosions having been heard and seen coming from the lower levels of WTC 1 and 2. This is consistent with the actual way the towers fell afterward. People located on the floors above the impact zones were able to make it out alive, and unscathed, before the collapse of towers 1 and 2. This is consistent with the notion that jet fuel and accelerants located inside the impact zones were producing less heat than implied in the 9/11 Commission and NIST reports. Multiple samples taken from the dust expelled by the towers' collapses were found to contain nano thermite, a compound of explosives used in modern controlled demolitions. This is consistent with the notion that explosives were used to demolish the towers to the ground surface, and not the act of jet fuel/accelerants burning inside the impact zones. Overhead thermal scans taken within days after the towers' collapse shows areas under the tower sites to be in excess of 1000 degrees F. Also found under the rubble were fires and molten metal that continued to burn above the melting point of aluminum, even after being sprayed continuously with water for days. WTC 7 collapsed in almost the same exact fashion as WTCs 1 and 2, but it happened 7 hours after the first 2 fell. The 9/11 Commission and NIST both accredit this to fiery debris falling from the first towers' collapses and landing on/damaging WTC 7, which started uncontrollable fires inside the complex, in combination with diesel fuel generators adding to the blaze. This is very troubling. Not only was thermite found in the dust samples, molten metal discovered below the ground, and numerous video evidence supporting the notion of a controlled demolition, Larry Silverstein had purchased a 99 year lease on the whole entire WTC complex for more than $3 billion just weeks before 9/11. Under his insurance policy, it specifically covered Terrorist attacks. No steel framed, concrete reinforced building or skyscraper has ever, in years before and after the 9/11 events, collapsed from damage due to fire. Hard drives recovered and later analyzed from Ground Zero contained evidence pointing to a massive illegal transaction(s) that were taking place minutes before the first plane slammed into the first tower. Within days after 9/11, the rubble at Ground Zero had begun to be packed up and shipped off to be melted down overseas before any private investigations of the steel/concrete could be commenced for the examination of evidence. This was a direct violation of Federal Crime Scene laws. The true act of subversion is not one of which is intended to be secret, but one of which is intended to look completely normal in the eyes of the general public.

From what I have gleaned through various sources, it is quite obvious to me that the collapse of the 3 buildings on 9-11-2001 had the same characteristics of a controlled demolition. Not only that but there are too many first hand accounts about explosions before the collapse not to mention the rivers of molten metal. I wholeheartedly support the effort for a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01.

I have been in construction all my life and currently have a drafting and design company. I am a dedicated researcher of the truth.
The structures in the 9/11 false flag event were clearly brought down by controlled demolition. - - 1] The vertical I-beams at the site had 45% sheared ends, this type of cut is made from the use of thermite explosives. - - 2] The first responders at the site heard multiple explosions. - - 3] The fire and rescue personnel stated there were pools of molten metal that lasted for many days to weeks, another signature of thermite. - - 4] The concrete was turned to dust which could only happen with extreme pressure and not from a building falling. - - 5] The buildings fell at free fall speeds which is NOT possible without explosives or the lack of resistance; a building falling into itself would create massive amounts of resistance. The buildings fell into themselves with no signs of horizontal movement, again not possible with those heights, and both buildings falling the same way, mathematically impossible. - - 6] The jet fuel isn't enough to melt the metal of the I-beams. I am sure there is much more I could come up with but as I am not the investigator, this is enough to make my point.

Too many coincidences, too many things that just happen to have also been going on at the time. Building collapse just too neat, too fast, too concise. WTC 7 not hit, except by random debris and is in my opinion, the best of the evidence I've seen in regards to controlled demo. The property's recent purchase (in relation to the event), the way this was settled. NUMEROUS Explosions heard by MANY witnesses, recorded in various home video taken during the events that day. The clean, neat angle of cuts where the columns supposedly sheared under force (who are they trying to kid with this?) The numerous home video taken during the event that show molten iron freely flowing out windows and damaged areas of the buildings' exterior. NO POSSIBLE WAY that jet fuel, no matter the amount, would MELT fireproofed steel columns and beams, weaken, yes, melt? NO WAY. Who was in the presidential office at the time (in relation to records stored on this site concerning trial of Sen. Prescott Bush for aiding the enemy). The number and monetary amount of trades that were pushed thru WHILE the markets were closed. The announcement one day prior to the attack that $2.3 TRILLION was missing from the Pentagon. The incredibly tiny hole that this Pentagon attack airplane supposedly crashed through and caused. Lack of recovered airframe components at the Pentagon. The area AT the Pentagon that was conveniently destroyed in this supposed airplane crash. NUMEROUS other things which simply seem to be out of true. As I said, too many coincidences. All that and that doesn't even consider the use of Thermite, which is EXCLUSIVE to the US Military and it's contractors. Scary, scary stuff.

It's simply heart breaking to me of the suffering and the innocent lives lost I WANT THE TRUTH and don't tell me it was a fire a plane didn't do that destruction SOMEONE brought down the towers it haunts me daily.
I have no technical knowledge nor experience but I do know that the twin tower collapse makes absolutely no sense to me (a normal working citizen with no architectural knowledge) its simply heart breaking to me of the suffering and the innocent lives lost I WANT THE TRUTH and don't tell me it was a fire a plane didn't do that destruction SOMEONE brought down the towers it haunts me daily.

56 times around that fiery globe, with experience comes a bit of wisdom. Hard to believe this is the same planet I was born into. We all know what men are capable of doing. To assume no malfeasance was committed by any other than the terrorists is intellectually lazy and abets any possible mass murders...cowards!
If your government has no interest in stopping terrorism, what's the difference between, enabling and actually doing it?......that olde narrow line....maybe someone wanted to give mass murder a little push? Just watch a couple of videos of WTC destruction, to a one are all butchered. Mostly incoherent, but with enough in them to raise the question....Really, do buildings collapse like that? For a recent history changing event, there seems to be a dearth of answers.

I have worked in many different fields. I have trained as a broadcaster, and have also published a novel.
For many years my own prejudices against the Muslim people prevented me from even thinking of questioning the official 9/11 story. When I stumbled across discrepancies in the story, the number of questions only grew. I find it inconceivable that 3 skyscrapers collapsed in on themselves perfectly without explosives, or that fire alone could cause it. These are just a couple of the larger questions, there are dozens of implausibilities present in the official story that must be answered.

After school I spent 42yrs working with steel and concrete. I worked on projects all over this country. I've seen buildings collapse, cranes topple over, etc., but nothing like 9/11.
You may not believe this, but I thought 9/11 was a demo job from day one. I still have a news paper tacked on my wall that I put up on the day after 9/11. I look at it every day and wonder when will the truth be known. The dust must still be there, embedded in the bowels of the City. I think at least one witness talked about concrete dust in the building for several weeks before 9/11. I would like to know more about that.

I have been a 9/11 truther for around 8 years now. The amount of evidence that points to controlled demolition and its subsequent cover up is overwhelming. When I first discovered the truth, I made up a flier of all the facts that I had at the time and passed them out around town. I must say the fire chief was most interested in learning some of the facts. I awakened my wife to a truth that at first she resisted...but through exposure to the evidence, she too has come to know a new reality. I still, to this day, boggle people right out of the blue with my knowledge on the subject. I know the truth, and I have done, and will continue to do, what your organization is doing...telling it to everyone I meet.
On the morning of 9/11, I was at work hanging drywall in a building that was under construction. We had no TV, but one crewman had a radio. After the reports came in about the plane crashes and the collapse of the towers, I was only able to form mental pictures of what had occurred. Word of the collapses had triggered thoughts of the entire structures toppling over into Manhattan. Upon arriving home and seeing the collapses on TV, I realized what I thought happened did not happen at all! I was amazed at what I saw. To me, what I saw was not adding up to what I had pictured should have happened (should there be a reason for them to collapse at all, which no steel building ever has, except on 9/11). Now I know why it didn't add up....I wasn't informed that these were controlled demolitions. Had I been informed of that little, need to know, piece of information, I feel my mind would have fabricated an image pretty close to what we saw that day. Five years later I would begin the quest for truth that continues to this day.

Journeyman Electrician, 30+ years. Worked in Steel Mills for 16 yrs. Two of them were melt shops ie: foundries. I can burn steel with a torch and weld also, and am very familiar with melting temperatures in steel and their appearances.
I was at work watching the collapse as the entire country was. Someone in our group said 'those buildings are going to collapse'. I answered 'Those buildings won't collapse, they are designed to take the hit of a plane.' I was shocked when they did collapse and said or thought....they came straight down, just like when they implode those buildings in Vegas and I have always had an uneasy feeling about it.

The only experience I have on this subject is hours of footage of the events. It doesn't take a scientist to look at the footage an see that there was more to it than planes flying into a building n causing them to collapse.
I have many doubts over the events of 9/11. How can two planes bring down three buildings in such a way they fell free fall into there own footprints. How could the impact of the planes blow out the lobby in such a way that people were on fire and badly injured. How could the fires which were barley alight proven by fireman's radios melt the structure of the buildings to such a point they caused the buildings to collapse - (first time in history). Why isit there's strong elements of a controlled demolition on all three towers, you only have to watch a clip of a controlled demolition to see the strong comparisons that infact the buildings were rigged to fail and collapse.

I am a musician. I went to college for it, but now my job as a salesman makes me frustrated that the capitalist system has been skewed off balance and the game has been fixed. I don't look forward to my son growing up in such a world where our leaders are literally lying and actually stealing from us.
Physics doesn't lie. The factual evidence is too damning for these perpetrators. I believe in this life or the next they will be judged for the monstrous atrocities they committed. I repeat: Whether or not we catch them in this life - they WILL be judged by the Prince of Peace.

I am a business major with a AA degree in business. I am not an expert in the field of architecture but common sense and reasoning allow me to know that we have been lied to.
I agree that we the people of the United States of America have a right to know the truth of what really happened on September 11, 2001. We have been lied to long enough. It is time for accountability and true justice to take place in this country. There is proof in the eye witness accounts about the explosion of the twin towers and in the expert architects who have testified that these buildings did not come down as a result of fire from the plane crashing into them. I demand and have a right to see true justice upheld.
