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.

It is tragic but necessary that as engineers and architects this task looms large as our most important - and urgently needed - contribution.

About the Twin Towers : no minor (and weaker) part of a structure is able to destroy the rest of it, whatever the speed with which they encounter. And WTC7 : among other strange hypothesis, to assign the fire protection class 1-C instead of 1-B is quite a help in getting 'overheated' floor beams.

Every time I see the footage of 911 it is totally implausible that the towers would have collapsed from the jets impact. They simply did not. The collapse occurred significantly later and in a manner consistent with the professional demolition of buildings. It is equally incredible that the plane that hit the Pentagon left no refuge to identify it and that all video evidence has been kept secret. Why all the secrecy? This smack of cover up, a cover up that might explain why we went to war in Iraq and not Saudi Arabia where hijackers were from or why we stopped short in capturing Bin Laden.

The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 are all very similar to a controlled building demolition as opposed to a collapse cause by localized impact high in the building. The official government findings do not offer a reasonable explanation for this collapse. A thorough and scientifically credible investigation and disclosure of the actual means of collapse is needed for the public and professional community to understand how this national disaster happened.

WTC building 7 is what alerted me that 9/11 might be an inside job. It is virtually impossible for a building to collapse in that manner with nothing but a common fire over a few floors. Additionally, the fire purportedly came from the twin towers but the surrounding buildings met with no such improbable ignition. What cinched it for me was the smoldering molten metal that lasted for weeks after the attack, pointing at the probable use of thermate.

To me, the evidence shown by Richard Gage in the DVD titled 9/11: Blueprint for Truth clearly shows that the public was not given the real story behind why those buildings collapsed. You just can't ignore the evidence of molten steel, pulverized concrete, U shaped steel I-beams with no stress fractures, and signs of explosions (squibs) 40 stories below the collapsing rubble. The list of unanswered technical questions surrounding this tragedy is just too long to be ignored.

Twenty years work in the field of building and renovation. Having a 'holographic sense of proportionality' in the realm of materials. Nevertheless stupid enough to believe the official story about the cause of the collapses until seeing the documentary '9/11 Mysteries' in October 2007. Feel ashamed now that I ever believed that the Towers collapsed due to airplanes. But not stupid enough to sense days after the event that they had, for the least, been compliant, had foreknowledge and allowed it to happen.
Controlled demolition. The buildings were stuffed with explosives. From top to bottom. And it started from the bottom. (testimony's of William Rodriguez and many others) No doubt about it.

I've seen a lot of documentaries about the 9/11 human tragedy and after all the statements of multiple eyewitnesses, firefighters, first responders and from many kind of experts, after hearing all these facts that the NIST don't want investigated, I cannot go with the official commission report that relayed an unbelievable number of lies which prevent any truths to be told to the Americans (who's the first people that needs and deserves to know) and to the entire world. The truth has to be told immediately and all the responsible ones, who murdered and slaughtered over 3,000 Americans, has to be punished for what they've done.

After graduating from Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin, I attended U. Of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, studying Sociology. I was unable to complete my degree and moved back to my parents home, 213 Stella Drive, Bridgewater, NJ. I began a job at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, studying reasons for the high turnover rate at the Bank. I left there after only about 6 months because of the lengthy commute, and very to work for a man (Bernard H. Adam) who had invented some medical equipment for the treatment of cerebral palsy, and worked there several years until the company went out of business. Then I got a job with Becton-Dickinson & Co (medical supplies) and detailed their laboratory products throughout Upstate NY. After about 7 years there, I entered a religious community in Orleans, MA, which turned out to be a cult. After escaping from there with NOTHING, I moved in with my parents in their new home in Lynchburg, VA and, after a stay in the hospital, which showed me what nursing was like, I went to nursing school and decided to serve God as a nurse. I worked at Roanoke Memorial Hospital beginning in 1986 and, after a severe illness, later at Lynchburg General Hospital until retiring on disability in 2003.
I just watched Loose Change 9/11 and fully believe that the buildings were blown up by the Bush Administration and that Bush & Cheny deserve to spend the rest of their lives in solitary confinement in prison. I'd love to help bring that about in whatever way I can help. I've also watched the 3 Ziegeist films and have been told by someone in Naval intelligence that what they also portray is the truth.

I am a 33 year old white male in America. I have a BA degree from an accredited University here in the United States and was attending college when the 9/11 attack occurred. After educating myself recently and over the years since the 'attack' I have discovered that there is not a real answer to many questions posed about the truth of the 9/11 event in NYC involving the WTC Towers and Building 7. I also have not received a believable or creditable explanation as to the destruction of the Pentagon or the takedown of the other planes involved in the alleged attacks on America.
From numerous documentaries and interviews with structural engineers, ones that worked on the WTC and ones that did not, I have sincere doubts as to the actual cause of the fall of the WTC including and especially WTC #7. I want answers under oath from the former president of the U.S., George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. I demand the truth and not run-around answers and I want to know the true motives of allowing such a travesty to happen to the America people. Based on documentaries and research that I have done independently I do not believe either the 'Pancake Theory' or the 'molten metal from the airplane' theory. There are real accounts of explosions that came from beneath the structure and minutes before the planes hit the building. The other speculation I have that the building was rigged to fall involves the diagonal cuts found on the metal beams coming up from the middle of the building.

Rhetorical question: Is the kinetic energy of concrete floors in free fall a sufficient amount of energy to transform most of these floors to powder and dust? And further more; that this is happening already before the floors hit the ground. NIST should be challenged to present the energy needed for this to happen, and as well the potential energy available in an erected, undamaged building before such an event.

Please consider how strong the twin towers were. Both towers were hit by Boeing 767 aircraft with over 9,000 gallons of fuel. One plane struck the north tower at 440 mph, the other struck the south tower at over 550 mph. Both planes exploded consuming most of the fuel. The corners of both buildings stood straight and tall after these explosions, yet we are to believe that the buildings rapidly collapsed straight down, as if the steel structures that caught the exploding planes like a catcher catching a baseball, no longer existed. Something had to remove those steel structures. When I first saw the videos of the building collapses (about an hour after the fact) my first impression was that the collapses looked like a planned demolition, a review of the facts has confirmed this.

I am a private citizen. I, since 2006, have become aware of the movement to reopen the investigation into the demolition of the twin towers. I am thoroughly in support of this movement. I haven't any relevant experience as an architect or an engineer.
I have been studying and listening to many people (not mainstream media) talk and discuss this topic. I have become aware, of people like, Dr. Steven Greer of the CSeti group, and the Sirius Disclosure group who has made statements that implicate a DEEP STATE covert group within our government that is possibly guilty of the destruction of the Twin Towers. This, in mind, must be the most plausible explanation for this coverup.

I was driving to work the day I heard the news. Like my father when JFK was shot, I think I'll always remember it vividly. That's why when G.W. said he saw it on the TV that morning before he entered the classroom. This as well as many other things, shows me that as much as I hate to admit it, this could not have been done without cooperation at the highest levels. Silverstein may have been involved and benefited greatly but he could not and would not have done so unless sanctioned or even put up to it by the govt. I am still having trouble wrapping my mind around it, but I am now having fervent discussions with people that are telling me to embrace reality, but I am thankful that I have been able to garner the evidence and strength from your material and that of others who give us little people the strength to join in the battle for truth.

It appeared to be controlled demolitions to me. The idea that furniture caught on fire and melted the steel in the building is nothing but twaddle. I believe if you follow the money and look closely at the anti-Democratic 'patriot act' it won't be to difficult to find a better reason for the tower's destruction than the governments alibi.

What technologies were used to destroy the WTC? Who provided these technologies? Who benefited from the collapse of the towers? If these questions can be answered in a full investigation of 9/11, we can begin to dismantle the illegitimate shadow regime keeping us in a state of perpetual war against enemies of their own invention.

I was in third grade when 9/11 happened. I never questioned the event or reports until I graduated college. The evidence is overwhelming. Another investigation needs to be done to bring justice to the families of the victims and for our nation. The official report doesn't provide reasonable answers. The towers could not have possibly fallen the way they did without planted explosives.

I have been very intrigued by this topic since 2006. The bottom line is that there's just no way all three of those towers came down like that, at near free-fall, without the aid of explosives. It only takes common sense to realize something is very off about the official story of 9/11.

When you continue to watch the footage of the buildings falling, it quickly begins to sink in. All of the eyewitness accounts throughout the news footage are talking about explosives, loud booms, explosions in the lobby and what not. It is clear something is not right. Building 7 is obviously the most apparent. How in the world could we suspend logic and science for one day in our history?

The events of 9/11 need to be independently investigated. When objectively looking at the evidence of the initial impact of the planes crashing and the aftermath, the use of explosives seems very plausible. For structures of that magnitude to fall as rapidly as they did, a significantly bigger object would have to strike it much lower without the presence of extreme fire throughout the structure.

The law of equal and opposite reaction made the top floors, which fell onto the lower building, be destroyed after only a small descent thereby making it impossible to say that the top floors' weight kept pushing the rest of the building down. Also, in the videos you can see many huge upwardly explosions blowing massive pieces of structure upwards into the air. Also, on the plane hitting the second tower you can see a pod on the bottom of the plane for remote control. Also, the planes were traveling far faster then is possible for the standard airliner.

I am 72 years old in March 2017. While others were starting to work towards their targets of 'A' levels, at sixteen I started my indentured apprenticeship in mechanical engineering. In 1966 I qualified as a toolmaker at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Blackburn, Lancashire, with a Technicians 2 certificate. Toolmakers are precision engineers who need to know the best way to approach an engineering task, what is practical and what is not. I had years of post-apprenticeship toolmaking experience (14 to be precise). Then I went to university to study International Relations (B.Soc.Sc. International Studies plus honours). My dissertation was called 'Individual Inventors, Less Developed Countries and the World Patent System'. Part of my research involved writing to 100 individual inventors to evaluate what problems they faced in getting their inventions to market, The results were published in a magazine called The Inventor. Then I left shop-floor engineering to concentrate on further education. After my first degree I became a technical author and spent ten years writing high-tech computer manuals for a company eventually taken over by AT&T. This involved extracting state of the art information from those who had it and passing it on (hopefully) to end-users in an easy to absorb way. The end users ranged from novices to corporate executives. I have gone into some detail here because I feel it is unfair on those of us without an engineering or science degree not to be classed as engineers when we have served engineering apprenticeships. A first degree is only three years, but when I served my apprenticeship it was a five year indentureship. I am convinced, I do not just suspect, that the twin towers were demolished because otherwise Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion no longer hold true. My second degree (MLitt), which I did part-time while working full-time was on the English papermaker and novelist: Robert Bage (d. 1801).
The twin towers and building 7 were brought down, I am convinced, or they could not have fallen as they did. How they were brought down I do not know precisely. If the structure, below where the planes were said to have entered the buildings, were sound they would never have fallen at almost freefall. It defies Newton's Third Law. The analogy I have been using to try and convince those who believe the NIST story is based on practical science as you might expect from a practical engineer. Newton's cradle is sold as an executive toy. http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-9319529-stock-footage-newton-s-cradle-over-white-background-with-sound-desk-toy-pendulum-being-activated.html - - The end ball-bearing hits the next and all the conservation of momentum energy is transferred through the others so that the ball bearing at the other end, because there is no resistance, takes the impact and swings up before swinging back and repeating the process. Eventually other factors (including the coefficient of friction) slow the process. Now, if a metal plate was placed on the frame at either end, and the ball bearing at the opposite end to the plate was released, there would be resistance (as there would have been in the twin towers). They were so strong, with a very strong base. To have come down in almost freefall is scientifically impossible, or I am not an engineer.
