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.

I am retired and now have the time to review the data presented in support of an alternate conclusion. It is without a doubt that the data presented in support of a controlled demolition warrants a complete and transparent hearing. WTC 7 lacks any reasonable explanation or evidence to support a collapse at the rate of a free falling object. It is essential that the scientific community be allowed to analyze the data from the three buildings and prove conclusively that explosives were used.

I graduated with a 4-year degree in Electrical Engineering from Binghamton University in New York (2001), where I have also taken many classes in Physics and Mechanical Engineering (statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science).
They way in which WTC 7 collapsed clearly needs an independent investigation. Steel structure buildings cannot fall at near free-fall speed, into their own foot-print due to small fires. The official story does NOT scientifically explain the collapse of WTC 7, the Twin Towers, nor the findings of nano-thermite in the wreckage/dust, nor the molten steel that jet fuel fires cannot possibly burn at temperatures high enough to cause. Ground Zero should have been treated as a crime scene, but the wreckage was quickly removed - why was this allowed?

The view of independent experts is obviously correct, it is physically impossible for a building to collapse at close to free fall acceleration, unless all resistance in the floors below has first been removed, requiring a blow out of all the columns on the floors below, in addition, localized damage could not produce a symmetrical collapse as seen in video footage of the collapse of building 7.

The Laws of Physics and gravity indicate the collapses of the three WTC towers appear to be caused by controlled demolition and not due to the impact of two aircraft. The buildings fell too fast to indicate the resistance to downward momentum from successive failures of the floor structure. The buildings fell very much straight down and were completely pulverized as if they were destroyed by controlled demolition. There is no other reasonable explanation given for the collapse of WTC7.

I have been a practicing electronics hardware engineer in the tech field in Silicon Valley ever since receiving a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara. Though the BSEE ultimately focuses on electronics, electronic devices, and materials, like most engineering degrees it also requires significant background study in physics, mechanics, and mathematics to sufficiently ground the recipient in the general discipline of engineering.
You hardly need college physics to show that the mechanics of NIST's collapse model doesn't fit the evidence collected on that day. A simple conservation of energy problem (taught in most high school treatments of mechanics) suffices. Take the twin towers for example: if the tops of the buildings accelerated towards the ground at the rate of free-fall, which I believe has been adequately established through video and seismic analysis, it follows that all of their stored gravitational potential energy is being expended accelerating their mass towards the surface of the earth. From whence came the energy responsible for dismantling the steel support structure below the falling mass then? How can one source of potential simultaneously be totally expended in the acceleration of mass earthward while also providing the energy to pulverize hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel and concrete? It simply can't... and that's one of many reasons why NIST's explanation is totally unacceptable.

32 years experience working for the US government (DESC) or in support of our military aircraft and high-tech weapons systems (LMC).
I was originally an architecture student before changing majors to electrical/systems engineering. I have interfaced with numerous military personnel, from the lowest rank to the highest, including many pilots of various aircraft that we build and service at military bases around this nation. I have also researched countless hrs of video and seen eyewitness testimony of firemen and emergency personnel who responded to this attack that clearly stated that there were bombs in both towers. - - At LMC, we build remote control navigation pods and manless AUV's, the kind used in the Middle East. The planes that hit the two towers seemed to have similar remote control navigation pods installed on their undersides, and therefore were likely remotely flown into the towers. There may not have been any passengers or terrorists aboard these planes. The video evidence and flight speeds also convey that they were also not commercial aircraft, but painted as such with no passenger windows. - - There were definitely bombs placed inside the twin towers and building 7 to orchestrate a controlled demolition of all three buildings. The owner of these towers was asked what happened to building 7, because it was never hit by any plane and there was only a small fire inside. The owner said, 'we had to take it down.' This in itself admits a controlled demolition took place on Sep 11, 2001 on building 7, and building 7 fell in classic style of a controlled demolition just as both towers did. It takes many months of structural design and planning to map out and install explosives sufficient to bring these massive buildings down in a vertical manner to preserve adjacent buildings. Explosives were needed because jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the massive steel beams that all three buildings were constructed from. Thermite may have been added to the paint or other medium during upgrades that were performed prior to this event. I have had military personnel tell me point blank, that anybody that is anybody in the military knows that there was more to this attack. - -

I've studied Architecture at the Technical University of Delft, graduated in 2000. I've been working since as a civilian architect.
In my view the collapse of the three towers/buildings was not due to the impact of two planes and an office fire. Visual, sound and witness material makes a controlled demolition with thermite/thermate use much, much more likely. The official narrative just does not fit in so many ways. This is wrong. - - - - I'd like to see the truth come to light for the freedom and good of all people in the world, especially for the American people who seem to been betrayed behind their back without knowing and are factually lied to, to this day.

Right from the outset I could not believe that the Towers could be so flimsy that they would collapse like a house of cards with such minor damage. When I watched the initial footage of firemen going into the lobby of the North Tower I was confused as to why all the windows had been blown out and massive marble panels had been blown off the walls. Later when I watched WTC 7 come down I jumped out of my seat and screamed at the TV that this was a controlled demolition.

I don't have any expertise in this area, but firmly believe that a second investigation would prove to be significant for the political powers that help make this happen. The People need answers, The People need closure. We demand it!
I remember waking to the phone call that morning telling me to turn on my TV. As I sat and watched in horror, minute by minute losing more of my faith in America. What happened to the America I had pledged my allegance to as a child?As the towers fell, I just knew that there was NO WAY the plane crash could do this type of destruction, but I TRUSTED my Government to put all of the pieces together and solve the issue. That has not happened. Instead we are spoon fed these slanted scenarios and colorful model animations. Really?Anyone with even the slightest bit of curiousity can easily do an internet search to learn more about the temperatures required to melt steel. The original fire ball frm the crash impact would have burned off the majority of the fuel. We want answers.I have witnessed building demolition (implosion) and it is clear to me that these towers were imploded by expert demolition. Please stop insulting American intelligence and reopen the investigation.EVERYONE makes mistakes. Look how many times We The People have trusted the FDA on it's drug approvals, only to see them recalled with lawsuts after they were wrong.Bring back our trust in the America we knew as chldren. The entire World looks upon us as idiots to believe the NIST reports. Lets change that and rebuild the trust of the American taxpayers/voters!

I've had nagging feelings about 9/11 since that terrible day. I've thought that if the planes were enough to knock those buildings over that they should have toppled over, not perfectly imploded. It wasn't until a friend from Disney showed me your movie that it all hit home... hard. I want to know what happened

I am interested in obtaining a truth which, while not necessarily retributive, starts a closure process allowing us to absorb the reality and prepare the way for a Western Society which is truly free. Unfortunately, the aftermath of 9-11 has had profound and negative effects on the lives of UK citizens too. We are consistently under surveillance by our government, civil liberties are diminished, privacy eroded - all in the name of added security. We've just spent 6 billion pounds (around 9 billion dollars) on an aircraft carrier. We need to be ashamed of this dreadful waste of money which merely serves to promote aggression. Let's get to the truth of 9-11 so that both our nations can stop posturing as the policemen of the world, save unimaginable sums of money and countless lives and live in peace.

I think it's absolutely obvious that the 3 buildings have been torn down by some planted devices inside. There is too much evidence that are impossible to deny forever, unless all the system is rigged. These overwhelming lies are not gonna last forever...with this lurid pretext they started several wars killing millions of innocent civilians. Only insane people do this ..and unfortunately they are rich and greedy too. Stop this madness, Hitler was nothing compared them.

I'm someone who is very curious and tries to be objective about information that is given to the public. September 11, among others, leaves me puzzled. In my experience, the information - as relayed by the mainstream media - shows that the most serious and sensitive issues are barely discussed while others are sloppily presented or outright lies (using evidence and facts as a measuring stick, I realize that official versions are overall false). - - - - Je suis quelqu'un de tr's curieux et qui prend du recul sur chaque information publi'e.Le 11 Septembre, en autres, me laisse perplexe. Mon exp'rience sur les diff'rentes informations relay'es par les m'dias dominants montre que la plupart des sujets s'rieux et sensibles ne sont pas d'battus, ou sont b'cl's, voir m'me mensong's (je compare par rapport aux preuves et aux faits, et je me rend compte que les versions officielles sont dans l'ensemble mensong'res).
I declare that the official investigation is rotten to the core. Thousands of families want to know the truth, and therefore deserve TOTAL transparency. In fact, just the fact that both Towers collapsed at free fall speed and that this fact was not even mentioned in the formal investigation leaves me perplexed. Additionally, the slow motion replays of the collapses clearly show the presence of explosives. It would certainly have made sense. Secondly, the fact that another high rise (which was not hit by a plane) collapsed as well ... due to explosives ... makes me think that this 'formal investigation' is more of a collaboration with those who actually carried out the attacks on September 11. An independent investigation must and should be performed so that justice and truth can finally be revealed! Truth always prevails in the end. - - - - Je d'clare que l'enqu'te officielle est b'cl'e jusqu'' la racine.Des milliers de familles veulent savoir la V'rit' et attendent donc un 'claircissement TOTAL. En effet, rien que le fait que les deux tours se sont 'croul'es aussi vite qu'une chute libre sans que l'enqu'te officielle n'en parle me rend plus que perplexe.De plus, on peut bel et bien et voir sur les ralentis que des explosifs sont pr'sent. Cela serait plus que logique.Ensuite, le fait qu'une autre tour (qui n'a pas 't' touch'e par un avion) s''croule elle aussi...' cause d'explosifs...me fait penser que cette enqu'te officielle n'est qu'une collaboration avec ceux qui ont v'ritablement mis en oeuvre le 11 Septembre. Une enqu'te ind'pendante DOIT et DEVRA 'tre r'alis'e afin que la Justice et la V'rit' se d'voile enfin!La V'rit' finit toujours pas triompher.

Once presented with all the facts and evidence from so many credible professionals such as the architects and engineers involved with your organization, its pretty hard to look away and not feel an overwhelming burning from within to help expose the truth of 911 and finally get some kind of justice for the families of all those lost that day. It is clear as day to see that all three of those buildings were brought down as a result of controlled demolitions. The evidence is overwhelming and people need to stop ignoring it and see the world for what it really is!!!!!!
