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.

After being exposed to logical, methodical, and scientific analysis of WTC #s 1,2, and 7 building collapses, I am left with little choice but to NOT to lend the official 9/11 Commission Report any credence. I believe that there larger and more sinister forces at work in this instance.

It is abundantly clear that no official government sponsored explanation of how the three buildings collapsed fits irrefutable facts. Most obvious to me is the nearly perfect synchronized collapses of WTC 1 and 2 at near-free-fall speed through the highest path of resistance. It all points to controlled demolition.

I was drawn to re-examine the government's official conspiracy theory about the collapse of the buildings after seeing a video presentation by Dr. Steven Jones and another more detailed report of what actually happened to WTC7. My internet searches lead me to AE911 and the scientific proof I was looking for. It had been tough watching the videos of WTC7 imploding, knowing with all my heart it was not fires that brought it down, and not having the scientific proof to support my instincts. AE911's site is the hub of relevant and fact based information for which I have been searching. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable and could not be presented in a more concise manner.

Retired in 2010 as Research Leader at Battelle Memorial Institute, having spent the previous 32 years conducting and leading R &D primarily related to machinery development and machinery control system development. Previous years work related to technology used in Electric utility and mining industries.
Over the last year I have conducted an extensive review of the research provided by AE911 group and others. I am sorry I am so late to the party. I am very impressed by the extent of the research, the professionalism of the many researchers providing that work, as well as how compelling the results prove demolition of the WTC Buildings. I believe the case for a new, proper investigation with subpoena power has easily been made. The dynamics (accelerations) of the collapse, the evidence of temperatures consistent with thermites, and the explosive features evident in the videos (particularly the South Tower) are more than adequate to prove the demolition hypothesis.

I've studied the structure of building 7, the collapse, & much more material. That collapse is impossible without cutting near all the columns together, as is the case with a pre-determined demolition. Building 7 was also shown in a BBC video collapsing in real time, over the shoulder of a reporter who was telling us it already collapsed 20 minutes earlier. All the tower fires across the world have been analysed, not one matched the details of the 911 events. The collapse of B7 must have been pre-determined and not part of any knock on affect from the other collapse over 400m away. As for the twin towers I have serious problems with the media story. It does not add up. A side point penetration would have created a sideways falling, not free fall straight down. That is elemental. I do not believe the account given by government, 'official' investigations and media.

I graduated in 1983 from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in science and in civil engineering. I have been working in civil engineering/construction for over 22 years.My main area of work has been in infrastructure construction. I have built with concrete and steel and am very familiar with their physical properties.
It should be evident to all that buildings of such magnitude, which were built over a period of years, can not be brought down by fire and structural damage due to a small portion of these buildings in such a short period of time. (If at all!) The two World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were structurally damaged only in a small area compared to their over all foot print. If they were to collapse, it should have been an asymmetric collapse, centered around the corner of the building with most damage. The symmetric collapse of these buildings have been accomplished by other forces. The nature of the damage does not support the official theory. World Trade Center building no. 7, which was not hit by a plane, may have had small structural deficiencies, mainly due to office fire.This building (or parts of it) should not have collapsed under these circumstances.There have been many credible eye witness reports of explosions, as was also being reported at the time by the news media as well, coupled with other evidence, least of which being the apparent chemical foot prints of explosives found throughout the site.The official report is a white wash and a lie. We need a credible investigation by credible impartial parties to discover the truth and bring to the full light of public disclosure.

I graduated from Bergen University College in 1990 as a building engineer. I studied subjects like: Steel structures, Concrete structures, General dimensioning and structural analysis, Wooden structures, Housing construction, Road construction and design, Water supply, sewage and waste management, and also other subjects, including of course university level mathematics, physics, and characteristics of structural building materials.Since graduation, I have worked for some time with general road design, but mainly with planning and design of public transport systems, facilities for bus systems and terminals, and I have extensive experience in designing Light Rail systems.
The way the twin towers collapsed is not consistent with general knowledge of steel and concrete structures. If a building were to collapse, the rubble would have been multiple layers of concrete floors on the ground, not an enormous cloud of pulverized concrete dust. The tremendous dimensions, and thus strength of the steel columns used in this structure, is sufficient to hold three or four times the actual weight of the structure. There is no way these would either bend nor break in a collapse under normal circumstances. To do this, they had to be subject to very large and rapid quantities of energy (heat), throughout the whole vertical structure, almost simultaneously. As is the case in a controlled and carefully orchestrated demolition.

I have worked on many high power broadcast antennas and I'm very familiar with the structural aspects of which they are mounted. The company I work for provided an emergency replacement for the CH 11 antenna which went down that was on top of the World Trade Center. Even the way that the antenna fell almost completely vertically, suggests a controlled demolition.
I have been looking into the evidence provided. I truly believe that there is absolutely no way that these buildings could have collapsed the way that they did without controlled demolition. If we can get the American people and the world to realize this, then maybe we can hold those responsible accountable.

I have a high school education and I'm a hairdresser. I'm a social and political activist and have been for many years. My experience is that I'm a very informed citizen, and I know my government's history of false flag operations, and I've been saying since this happened that if nothing else, Building 7 was not hit by a plane and should never have collapsed. You don't need to be an engineer to see this.
I don't know exactly who was involved but a real investigation needs to take place. We may never know who participated, but an investigation still needs to be conducted. We owe it to not only the people in the towers that were killed, but the families and all the innocent Afghans and Iraqis that have been murdered in our drummed up retaliation to this crime.

The biggest problem for this very honorable organization is that most people cannot conceive that the controllers of world governments could perpetrate such an horrendous attack on innocent people. Well, in my very carefully considered opinion they did and this then proves that they are capable of anything. Hopefully good will eventually prevail.

From the moment I saw the video of the two towers' collapse which was about a half hour after the actual event I was surprised and shocked that it actually occurred. My gut reaction was that they shouldn't have collapsed at all.Then when WTC7 imploded I knew something was terribly wrong with the official narrative that was already beginning to be developed and shown on the TV.I am deeply saddened and appalled that the absurd myth of the 19 hijackers has been given such unquestioned credibility by the mainstream press and even progressive leaning alternative media. It was the defining moment of the century so far for the U. S. and the rest of the globe and it is the mother of all lies! Hitler would have been very impressed.

100% controlled demolition. They had to take out all core columns at precisely the same time to have that building collapse like it did, common sense really.

The morning of seeing the television coverage I spoke aloud immediately to co-workers in the room re plane hitting building ''that was a demolition'' and stand by my initial instinct (a/k/a inner wisdom) to this day. Although none of my co-workers agreed and I was ostracized for my belief, I yet stand firm in my initial instinctive knowledge. I saw a demolition of buildings when I saw the television coverage.

One thing I am not is a Conspiracy Theorist. What I am is a realist, and we, as a 'World community need to know the truth about 'What Happened' before we can start to look at the 'Who' and then 'Why'. What I see is overwhelming physical, photographic, and eye-witness evidence that I feel proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the N.I.S.T. Report is Incorrect, and that a full independent enquiry be carried out. My eyes are my judge, and the evidence is the evidence.

I am well read and I am awake. I will retain my commitment to the truth no matter the resistance of any party public or private, for that I am responsible.
I want the truth to be made public officially by the United States government and the perpetrators publically charged, prosecuted and made to pay the price of their treasonous activities. Murder is punished by death in most states of this federation. I do not believe in state sanctioned murder in any form, even as punishment for this heinous crime against humanity. Poverty, persecution, hunger, deprivation, isolation and disenfranchisement for life should be their punishment.

I am an educated woman in my late 20's. I work in the insurance field and I have a husband who is a Chemist. Both of us share the same views on the investigation and think the public deserves an open forum in which to be presented the evidence by reputable individuals.
I wish it didn't come down to what the official word is versus my common sense as a human being, but not unlike you folks, I cannot look at the evidence and even begin to believe the story we were given. The investigation performed by the government elected team was a mockery to the people who lost their lives that day and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. There were no common criminal investigation procedures accounted for... the dog did not bark because the criminal was its master.

High school graduate from Baylor School. I was sitting in class when the incident occurred. At the time, I was completely lost to the world. I didn't know anything about the Twin Towers; what they were, where they were, their significance, etc. As the story unfolded to as what supposedly happened, I felt as if the story was fabricated from the beginning. As I grew older, I grew wiser and began to open my eyes to what was really happening in the world. Continued to research the 9/11 event and started wondering if there was anything that could be done even with all the hardcore evidence proving the government's stories are false. I'm glad I came across this site, seeing that there is something that can be done to move in that direction of actually getting the truth of what went down.
I don't believe there were people on those planes.
