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 watching two of the videos on this website, and deliberating carefully and scientifically about the evidence provided, I have little doubt that the official NIST report findings were inaccurate and believe that there is a high probability that all three buildings collapsed due to controlled demolition via detonation of explosives. A comprehensive and fully independent study into the 9/11 WTC attacks should be carried out for the sake of all Americans to ensure that justice is done, especially for the sake of all the victims who died that day and their loved ones.

I was always wondering about how they could collapse under the circumstances... since, while growing up, we used what was known as primus which is a kerosene burning appliance.. (kerosene is the major component of jet fuel). While cooking using kerosene in the most efficient manner (hottest possible flames), the appliance was made of very thin steel and our vessels were also very thin. They did not melt or distort ever, even when used for hours. When I saw the collapse of Bldg. 7 (several years later) that clinched it for me.

I'm an architect not a demolition engineer, but I find it impossible to believe that two effectively identical buildings, hit asymmetrically, at differing levels, would collapse in a similar manner at near the speed of a falling cricket ball without 'inside' help. And as for WTC 7... you've got to be joking. Sounds extremely fishy to me.

The speed at which the buildings fell implied that the central cores provided virtually no vertical resistance at any point during the collapses. When the live television commenter stated that there must have been tons of explosives on site to cause such a collapse, i found myself in agreement and assumed it would all come out during the investigation. Combined with the reports of molten metal, inexplicably high temperatures recorded even by satellite, rapid removal and destruction of the structural evidence, the finding of tiny fragments of human bone thrown laterally from the structures, the missing pentagon trillions on 9/10; I am very concerned about the kind of world we are leaving to the next generations. 9/11 and the ensuing cover up is a big part of that concern.

I was a registered Architect in the State of California from 1970 until 1997 when I retired and moved to Maine. I had my own Architectural practice in San Diego for about 25 years, before which I was a head designer and Architect for SGPA Architects, and Mosher, Drew Architects in San Diego, California.
There is very little question in my mind that the collapse of all three WTC buildings was the result of planned controlled demolition based on the evidence that has been presented. Most importantly, all three buildings came down at nearly free-fall speed directly into their footprints, molten iron with traces of sulfur and magnesium were found underneath the rubble of all three buildings weeks after 9/11, and nano iron spheres and unexploded thermatic material has been found throughout the dust at numerous locations. This must be re-investigated based on all of the newly discovered, and the 911 commission report omitted evidence. Three thousand innocent people died that day, and to date, nearly that many have now died as a result of breathing the toxic dust produced by these murderous acts. Congress, we demand an new independent investigation with full subpoena power.

As the facts do not match with the 'official' report, especially the collapse of Tower 7, a thorough and expert investigation is justified and necessary! The truth should be discovered, at least to prevent future collapses of 'burning' buildings.

There are multiple questions concerning the destruction of the buildings, which have remained unanswered. Most prominent was the destruction of Building Number 7. The official explanation is inconsistent and not sufficiently inspects the actual available data.

It is my personal opinion from reviewing what evidence that has been brought to light to date is that the 9/11 incident was either made to happen on purpose by the US Government or that they let it happen on purpose. This incident has been a pivotal moment in time that has allowed an unceasing war on terror, destruction of liberties and untold death and destruction abroad since. A properly conducted investigation needs to be held into this tragedy.

Witnessed the tragedy from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Mustered on the 12th to help with the rescue attempt. Reflected on my past Navy firefighting training and made the decision not to risk my life. Made this statement to my union brothers present 'If we do not go down there dressed like we are going to the moon we will die!' My greatest concern was phosgene gas. This Tragedy is and will always be a source of sorrow. Hopefully the truth will bring closure for us all! P.S. I walked away from every blood cent I was entitled to.

I totally concur with your analysis of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and Building 7 and believe there should be an open, thorough and impartial investigation into uncovering the absolute truth around 9/11. I would also like to know more facts regarding the supposed airliner attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. Were there similar suspicious findings at that building?

When 9/11 happened I thought like many others that it was done by the hijackers. I thought anyone who thought otherwise was unAmerican just like Bill O'Reiley says. Since then when I look at the hole made at the Pentagon and the lack of debris in PA........I was willing to take a closer look at the World Trade Center. I am convinced without a doubt that this was an inside job and that the engineers should be listened to.
I think there are a lot of uneducated people who let Bill O'Reiley do their thinking for them.

I became interested in the truth movement after witnessing the shocking events of September 11th on TV. I remember thinking 'how strange' when the BBC reported about the collapse of WTC 7. So many questions remain unanswered and certain answers that have been given are unsatisfactory and unconvincing. There are too many holes in the official story. I joined a 9/11 Truth discussion group in 2006 but left as there was some elements within the group who saw everything as a conspiracy. I resolved to only look at information and evidence that could be scientifically examined. People can speculate all they want about who the perpetrators are or the reason why this atrocity happened. But they cannot argue with scientific facts about the collapse of WTC 7.
