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.

A solitary jetliner aircraft impact and ensuing jet fuel induced fire, in and of itself, would never cause the collapse of a skyscraper in the manner in which both towers fell. The photographic, video, and forensic evidence strongly contradicts the official explanation put forth in the 911 Commission report.

I have been an Arizona State Senator for four years. Before that I served in the AZ House of Representatives for 8 years. Don't ask me how this happened -- I much prefer being a mother and homemaker. My husband, Jerry, and I have 11 children and 33 grandchildren. But I am concerned that our Constitution is being whittled away in small pieces and that we are at a critical point in our history, especially with the events of 9/11. So I find myself neck-deep in politics. I hope I have done some good.
More than six years after 9/11, we still have not had a thorough investigation of the causes of that tragedy. I am so impressed by the research of Dr. Steven Jones, Frank Legge, Tony Szamboti, David Ray Griffin, and so many others. My concern deepens every time I read a new article. As the evidence of controlled demolition mounts, my desire for a new investigation increases. I want to add my voice to the voices of AE for 911 Truth.

As a Liverpool Football club supporter who helped in the fight for justice following the Hillsborough tragedy and subsequent cover up, I feel naturally drawn to the 9/11 truth movement. Justice is an easy word to say but so difficult to achieve when faced with a concerted effort to smear the innocent whilst protecting the guilty. The families of the bereaved deserve to know the truth and the true guilty parties deserve to know justice.

John R. Taylor, BSc ME
Bsc ME University of Manitoba
Boquete, Chiriqui, Panama
worked as a Mechanical Engineer in railway engineering for 20 years. Much of the work involved stress analysis of rolling stock ie. modification of existing rolling stock for specialized applications.
I first questioned the official story when a French Journalist pointed out the hole in the pentagon was too small to have been made by a commercial aircraft. I then viewed the video 911 mysteries. That convinced me. I then questioned the symmetry of the 3 wtc buildings and the fact that they fell through the path of greatest resistance at near free fall speed. Evidence of nano thermate found by Dr. Jones and by analyzed by a PHD from Denmark was further evidence. The fact that the concrete was pulverized takes a great deal of energy more than that of concrete floors crashing into concrete floors. Then huge structural beams are found embedded in nearby buildings and some thrown as far as 600 ft takes a major lateral force. A collapsing building does not generate lateral force. I see the impact of an aircraft against steel structure somewhat as a beercan being crushed against a steel beam. Why weren't engines and wings found on the ground. After all the perimeter beams are substantial and the plane would have had to shear a large number of them in order to enter the building. It is not easy to shear large box beams with an aluminum structure, particularly given that an aircraft is not constructed with the safety factor of a steel framed building. There are many other things that defy logic but much of it is conjecture and would only serve as fodder for debunkers so I choose not to go there.

You guys rock!!!
After seeing the victims standing in the opening of the planes entrance sites on the towers, and taking in to account that many victims in the upper floors of Tower 2 were able to walk past the fires to safety, proves that the fires lacked the intensity to bring down the buildings at near free fall speed...within 50 minutes of impact!!!

I am a professional land surveyor registered in three western states of the U.S.
WTC7 was my wake-up call. Once I reviewed footage of all three (3) of the collapses again this year (for the first time since 9/11), I was instantly struck by how quickly and completely they collapsed. I have spent the last several months in serious self-education, not just regarding the clearly engineered collapses that occurred on 9/11/01, but also regarding the unhealthy geopolitical paradigm in which this kind of government malfeasance can exist. I AM SADDENED BEYOND DESCRIPTION by what has occurred in this nation and across the globe in the wake of 9/11.

I've studied modern architecture and skyscraper design and passed several structural engineering courses in college; the official 9/11 story seems unlikely. I've also studied studied politics and history, and as a member of the US military I have serious reservations regarding the official reported causes of 9/11. Even if the attacks were totally unexpected, and there was no civil defense plan for such events (like NY airbases or ground-to-air missiles), and there were no CIA or other black operations involved, we should still ask some questions: How did the towers collapse straight down as though planned to minimize damage to surrounding buildings? Why was the debris removed so expediently? Was it embarrassment? Quick cleanup to save our suffering the images of burning towers? Was it too expensive to renovate the buildings later? To avoid controversy and investigation they were removed from view asap, but by whom? FEMA? The building owners? There are many unanswered questions, from the Bush - bin Laden connection, to the FEMA - tower connection. Even if one structure failed from the attacks, the chances that all three buildings would pancake seems like nonsense. Perhaps one could pancake for multiple stories, but at a point the consistent fall would become lopsided due to the probability of resistance from numerous structural members, and develop a natural tilt. This tilt would produce torque, or rotational movement about points, and the laws of physics would tend to bring the forces down in faster ways to the sides, rather than through the entire strength of the remaining body of the building firmly rooted by numerous supports, including a central concrete elevator and stair core, and on a solid foundation.

I have two B.S. degrees, Health Science and Long Term Care Administration. My Father was a Professional Engineer. I have no real connection to the 9/11 disaster except that I am an American and want to know the real story and the truth about what happened.
I guess I am like so many who don't want to think our government could, in any way, be involved in this disaster. I did not know about WTC #7. Your information is astounding and I can't believe anyone who watches this would not find it a little confusing. As one of the people on the video said, it, too, makes my stomach not feel very good. I, too, think an independent investigation should be done.

It's outrageous that our government would devastate and destroy the lives of so many innocent people, and to have done this by imploding, without notice to the public and tenants, two iconic American skyscrapers. The families need to sue Mr.Bush and his administration. I'm deeply sad for the families that were directly affected. Billy Robinson

It is very clear that the United States government are not acknowledging the full story on the events that took place 11 September 2001. It is physically impossible for WTC 7 to collapse in the way that it did! Only with some kind of intervention can a building fall through the path of most resistance with seemingly almost no resistance whatsoever. The evidence suggests it was the result of a controlled demolition. Please give us the answers to our questions! Explain to us why thermite is detected in the dust? Why there was molten steel in the rubble? Why hundreds of witnesses heard explosions?..... The list goes on and on..... We are not stupid! Give us the answers!!

I feel anybody looking at these overwhelming facts can see that the original story of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11 is incorrect. We need a new independent investigation to find out the real reason the Towers collapsed.

I'm a high school graduate with some college education. I was 18 when 9/11 occurred and like most, believed it was a terrorist attack. After many videos started to circulate, it became very clear to me that 9/11 didn't make much sense. I simply want a new investigation to prove it was in fact a terrorist attack like the government has stated.
After watching video of the 3rd building crumbling to the floor, Im perplexed as to why, with such minimal fire damage, a building would totally collapse. It's not scientifically possible for the said office fire to bend or melt steel to the point where it would make Building 7 collapse. Also if it did collapse due to the fire, I would think the side compromised the most would have gave way first. Yet the building came down demolition stye. Their explanation doesn't make sense and with scientist's evidence out weighing theirs, I feel a new investigation should be opened
