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.

No Architect or Engineer can observe, with an open mind, the video recordings of the collapse of 7 WTC or the twin towers without realizing these were clearly controlled demolition events, even without digging further into the illogic of the official report, the many inconsistencies, and the continuing resistance to a fair and public reevaluation of the physics and evidence. That this has not happened, and the fact that educated and reasonable people shy away from a discussion of the subject, is a reflection of how disturbing the implications must be for finding the official narrative false. Yet we can never move on until we find and face the truth. Thanks to Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth for persevering in this essential effort.

I watched the video ''AE911 Experts Speak out'' and from the arguments presented I strongly believe the disaster must have been caused by explosives, ''controlled demolition''. At the very least the covering of evidence and most likely erroneous report from NIST, in addition with the controversy in scientific reports between NIST and AE911 experts calls for an immediate proper investigation of the matter for fear it might repeat itself and for justice of the victims and their families.

The appearance of controlled demolition by use of explosives is more than overwhelming when viewing the collapse of the Twin Towers. The evidence of the vertical cuts on the remaing standing columns is very powerful and conclusive. I have researched jet that crashed at Skranston,PA. and find there are many inconsistencies with the crash scene as compaared to other similar jet crash scenes, the lack of black box data only being one of many. I have also researched the crash data at the pentagon site and found there many holes in the official explanation of this crash as well. There are far too many unanswered questions and omission of facts in the official reports for them to have any credibility.

This incident forms the justification for the costly and never-ending War on Terror, and as such it is critical to know the truth of who was responsible. There exists a great deal of circumstantial as well as some physical evidence contradicting the official version - much more than enough to warrant a new, thorough, impartial investigation.

The tower collapses clearly appear to have been controlled demolitions. The fact that hydrocarbons and office furniture do not burn hot enough to melt steel is significant because there was apparently a lot of melted steel observed after the collapse.

Average American concerned citizen! Calling for a truthful investigation, not another 'Warren Report.' ANY reasonable, rational person cannot be expected to believe NIST and FEMA reports that are insults to our intelligence and what we see in the footage!
As a kid in the sixties I completely remember reading articles in the NY Times and Life mag about the Towers and how they will withstand a full on collision with a fully loaded 707. I remember this! You can't tell me those planes each brought down those massive buildings in a matter of a little over an hour!

Having cut my political teeth on the Kennedy assassination, it is not hard to imagine how far ruthless individuals will go in the names of money and power. Like the Warren Commission, the government's 9/11 investigation and final report are most noteworthy for their refusal to use the scientific method of investigation, to take all evidence into account, and produce a credible report. I think an important next step is to tie the evidence from the architects and engineers with the political evidence to not only understand the 'what,' but also the 'why.'

I have a high school diploma and took mechanical drafting at Tulsa Vo-tech. I became employed in 1989 at a trucking company where I worked with steel (torching, bending, welding, etc.). In 1999, I went to work for a sheet metal fabrication company. We constructed ventilation ducts for many large buildings, including airports, schools, hotels, convention centers, etc. I have returned to trucking and, in my position, still use my skills. I have also built personal homes and have experience in remodeling.
In my experience working with steel, there is no way we should be seeing molten steel pour from the skyscraper before collapse. Jet fuel and office fires do not have the ability to blow the steel away like that. You must keep a torch on steel for some time with an accelerator to get results like that.

I have followed all the information presented so far by professionals from the engineering, architectural and fire-fighting communities -- as well as family members from the 3000 souls who perished that day. I truly believe it is our moral and civil responsibility to uncover the truth.

Obtained my Leaving Certificate at Adelaide Boys High School in 1967 and joined the Australia and New Zealand Bank. I became a Bank Manager in 1990. I'm now Retired.
I watched the destruction of the Towers on TV, here in Australia. When I saw the plane seemingly fly INTO the building, before exploding inside the building, my immediate reaction was, 'This is Fake'. The plane (if it was really a stock commercial aircraft) would have completely disintegrated on the building's exterior (being made of lightweight materials....and hitting an object that weighed multi-thousands of tonnes). Later I saw Building 7 fall into its own footprint without a plane hitting it at all, which is simply NOT POSSIBLE for a modern multi-story building. I have since seen Larry Silverstein actually ADMITTING that he and the NYFD 'decided to pull the building'... He admitted that HE did it! (The NYFD has since admitted they have no expertise in 'pulling' a high rise building).
