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.

Although I have no means proving my gut feelings about what really happened on 9/11/2001, I would put money on the bet that the Bush administration used the attack to obtain the support of the majority of the American people to open a new war on Afghanistan in addition to the raging war in Iraq, in pursue of indirectly funding the all-powerful US weapon industry. I am almost convinced, at least I would not be surprised at all, that this administration firstly had full information about the terrorists preparations prior to their attack, secondly decided not to intervene these activities, and thirdly purposely used this attack to also demolish building 7 in the event. The controlled demolition of building 7 means it was planned and prepared for a long time in advance. That being true, it becomes difficult not to assume that the collapse of the two towers also was prepared in advance, and was the real cause for their destruction, not the aircraft and the fire inferno. This would then lead to the proof of the US government at the time wanting the plans of the terrorists to be successful, and even having prepared to help them in making sure the three buildings would come down, and kill almost 3000 people as a side-effect' This then is the world we live in, a world full of hypocrites and money horny individuals, who don't blink an eye killing their own fellowmen to benefit themselves as much as possible' Believing this scenario is the reason I also want an independent investigation to come about, and incarcerate the ones guilty until they die' I pray your initiative will be fully successful.

According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law and common sense, red, yellow or even blue flames are not hot enough to melt steel. It takes a white flame with forced oxygen as in a blast furnace or an oxy-acetyline torch or a thermite bomb to weld train wheels to the track as every Chem 1 student at Harvard knows. Try to melt a steel pan on a gas stove. s = 1/2 g t(square). If t is ten seconds, s is 1600 feet. Those buildings fell like Niagra Falls water as any student of Gallilei Gallileo can verify for himself. One needs to study the Gunpowder Plot, the Popish Plot, the Maine. the Lusitania, the Purloined Necklace. and The REICHSTAG FIRE, not physics to understand this miraculous event.

It is highly unlikely that the Twin Towers could collapse as a result of the damage from the planes and subsequent fires. At the very least, the central core would remain standing. Building 7 was obviously brought down as it was not impacted by the planes, there we no serious fires, and the landlord is heard to say pull it in a TV interview. You don't pull a 47 story building having it free fall into its footprint with a spur of the moment command.

My education has been in electronics and mechanical technology. I worked for RACAL-DATACOM for 25 years, where I was a power transformer design engineer, production engineer, and component engineer. I am now retired, and spend most of my time designing and building electronic and mechanical devices. My hobbies are scientific research and experiments, and my two grand children.
I would agree that there can be no other logical explanation from the evidence to date except that a controlled demolition using the latest technology of ordnance was involved. All three buildings collapse in the same manner? Impossible! If someone reaches into a haystack and pulls out a needle, he is lucky, if he reaches in again and gets another needle, wait a minute something is not right here, and if he reaches a third time and gets a needle, well the answer is quite simple. The haystack is full of needles! IT WAS PLANNED!

It is important to justify the trueness of the 9/11 and independent investigation is a MUST for a justification.

The destruction of Building Seven and it's intentional cover up is proof 9/11 was planned by persons involved in the US government. They were aware of it and complicit in it. The continued acts of denial can only be seen as an admission of guilt.

I don't have much of an education, but I do have a good understanding of physics and chemistry as I took advanced classes in both courses. Definitely not an expert, but the story given by the government just doesn't sit well with me, and hasn't even before I heard of this 'conspiracy'
I was young when 9/11 happened. I remember sitting in my 6th grade class watching it live on TV. Since then it has never set well with me, watching it live and watching everyone around you go absolutely psycho because of an attack on America, it was just bad... I couldn't ignore the fact that almost everyone on that single day had mentioned explosions in the lower levels and just kept comparing the buildings to the controlled demolition. You can't really ignore that, and when all these theories came to light I just can't accept the government's position on the matter. Too many doubts from too many people, I'm not going to place blame but we really need an independent investigation on the matter. The reluctance of the government's cooperation for one is just another reason for doubt in this case.

I find it ridiculous they expect us to believe these Towers fell due to fire. With all the planning and engineering that went into designing those buildings, in my opinion, there is no way they were brought down by anything other than explosive devices.

I am looking for a better way to compress large quantities of structural steel that I ship overseas, if I could turn it into powder the savings on shipping volume would be beneficial, impossibly cost prohibitive I'm sure. Can the amount of energy that it would take to turn steel into powder, then be factored for an energy cost?

I have always been suspicious that there is a lot more to learn as to what actually happened on 911. We all know that it is impossible that the two towers and building 7 could have come down by fires. It is clear they came down due to expert demolition and there was a massive cover up because a real investigation was prevented. I also believe that the news media must be held accountable for their unwillingness to expose what really happened.

In the late 90's I transferred into Cal Poly civil engineering and switched to social science during the 9/11 whitewash process as a senior. Was a member of SCE and attended the pancake theory meetings the club had with the paid for scientists on tour. Later I went on to study in the history masters program before being targeted by Frankfurt School of thought corporate insiders, despite having a 3.4 average and only two seminars to go I was barred from registration for political reasons.
We all know who pushed the fake pancake theory. And recent events have proven controls of our institutions have been compromised in the name of profit and outright thievery practices. The ones receiving the criminal government largesse are feeding at the trough and should be exposed as outright traitors working for quislings in the nest that prefer profit making wars over law and order. That is all 9/11 was ever about. As was the Reichstag Fire.

All documented forensic evidence provided by 9/11Truth confirms without a doubt in my mind 9/11 did not happen as explained by our government. The evidence offered by 9/11Truth totally diminishes what our government has offered as evidence and substantiates 9/11Truth's thesis. What we witness in the Middle East today is the results of this criminal atrocity.

It's plainly obvious to the unconditioned, critically thinking citizen that much was wrong with the way the WTC Towers and Building 7 were destroyed. I think it was a controlled demolition and that the buildings' destruction was a false flag attack meant to usher in the draconian laws, endless warfare and general government overreach that have been upheld by the Bush and Obama Administrations.

I was a classical piano major at Duquesne U... later had a falling accident which left me paralyzed on the same night I signed a recording contract. I've examined evidence from all angles.... official story, and conspiracy theories, and the more I looked at the evidence, the faster the official explanation fell apart.
All evidence shows a controlled demolition. I ask for truth, and those who were truly involved, to be held accountable not just for the killing of thousands of innocent lives, but also for the harm inflicted upon these United States, especially with the passed 'Patriot Act'.

I am absolutely convinced the world trade center buildings on 9/11/01 were destroyed by explosives. The steel beams would never collapse due to fire. The firefighters are trained to recognize life threatening circumstances and they were confident a collapse was not possible. In my opinion this is why they aggressively pursued the climb to the highest levels of the towers. They knew they could put out the smoldering fires and rescue thousands of people. They also reported hearing explosions on the lower floors far below the aircraft impact areas. Those buildings fell at free fall speed right into their footprints without any resistance from the fortified steel cores. Absolutely impossible without the use of very powerful explosives strategically placed throughout the structure of each building just like a planned demolition or implosion.

I have seen trucks ram concrete walls and bridge abutments that end up as piles of mangled steel with little to no damage to concrete and steel. I question if an airplane would penetrate steel reinforced concrete like it was going into soft butter. We owe a new investigation to all of the innocent lives they have murdered.
