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 was 15 and my basic Physics class won't be until next year. I saw the 'live' coverage of the second plane hitting the tower. I thought it was a Hollywood film advert. Unfortunately, it was news. But I had a few questions, why didn't the plane get crumpled upon hitting the tower? Why did the towers collapse? Must have been tons of jet fuel to melt steel. For the rest of the year, I followed the crowd- hate the Muslims. And I went on to my boring life for another dozen of years not paying much attention to 9/11. But two years ago, my partner showed me pictures at ground zero. He asked me 'What do you think of this? That rekindled a fire I long strayed away from. If it collapsed because of weight of debris as they say, there would be no straight line. Like a can of soda smashed from the top. And oh, what happened to the resistance of the bottom floors so that it collapsed at free fall? So it began. My 'obsession' as I call it. Breadcrumbs after breadcrumbs. Now armed with engineering knowledge and after the dust of emotion settled, I see things clearly now.

By examining the facts of the three buildings that collapsed on 911, the official story appears to be missing some major aspects. Not only was the collapse of building 7 completely avoided by mainstream media discussions, but the fact that they fell at free-fall speed, no explosives were officially tested for at ground zero and rubble was removed so quickly after 9/11 begs the question that there is more to the official story than originally suggested. If anything, the fact that so much of the current state of the world in terms of removing of individual freedoms and expanded domestic and international government powers, as a people we should be questioning this catastrophic event more.

I have 40 years experience as an industrial engineer in the automotive industry. I have a BSIE from Purdue University 1973 and an MBA from University of Michigan 1985.
I am familiar with steel construction in large plant complexes and I have watched many controlled demolitions. I was convinced when I saw the buildings come down that the planes had nothing to do with the explosive destruction of the twin towers. I was absolutely convinced a few hours later when I watched Building 7 come down. I also heard Mr. Silverstein state that he was involved in the decision to 'pull' the building. That same afternoon I shared my thoughts with co-workers and was met with very cold responses. I decided to wait until the evidence started to show up. I praise AE911truth for standing for the truth and greatly appreciate the collection of solid evidence you have assimilated. It has been my pleasure and responsibility to spread your information to as many people who will listen. As a Christian I share this to try to help others understand the level of control that is present to pull off such a mass brainwashing of the American people and others throughout the world.

I graduated from the University of Idaho in 1997 with a degree in Architecture. I am 2/3 done with my state license exams. I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

Was a junior architecture intern during college. I could tell during the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, that things seemed 'fishy': The secret service employees picking up pieces of what looked like eggshells outside the Pentagon; knowing the 19 hijackers who got on the planes with assumed names just hours later; the debris being taken away before investigators had a chance to examine; World Trade Center Building 7 coming on fire (from what?) and then falling down (why?). None of it made sense at the time. Seemed like it was an inside job right from the beginning--a reason to gin up to war with Iraq, of all ridiculous reasons. Plus, my husband and I met several NYC police officers, a NYC detective, and firefighters at the scene who said THEY knew it was an inside job. Inside, meaning: Bush & Co.
Those towers, all 3, were taken down deliberately, and the Pennsylvania plane was shot down. All by our OWN government.

I am in possession of a high school diploma, with knowledge of basic physics and common sense.
The amount of physical and circumstantial evidence has tipped the scales of this case against the official narrative of 9/11. The complete structural failures of World Trade Centers 1, 2, and 7 could not have happened due to fires. There needs to be a new investigation of 9/11 that is completely open to the public for review.

Revealing the true nature of 9/11 is a crucial part of understanding how populations are mislead. The overwhelming evidence of an inside job has the potential of waking up people to the reality of how people in power can operate. It could be a blessing in disguise if we find efficient ways to communicate this to ordinary people.

Mostly thru perseverance and wanting to know the truth has led me to follow AE's YouTube feed. The last few love videos have been amazing. I've been following AE9/11 since they sold their DVD years ago. I'm a truth seeker and critic of our government. When we know better we can do better.
Doesn't take a physics major to understand those buildings fell at free fall speed. Offices fires cannot do this on their own.

Lacked motivation at school, although capable, failed to see the relevance of what was being taught.
Too many unanswered questions in the official report, not that they have not been repeatedly asked. Too many coincidences with eye witnesses or people with conflicting 'evidence' and their mysterious deaths. Blasts in basements before 'planes' hit. Reporting by BBC of Tower 7 collapse when it clearly still stood in the background. Official story makes less sense than it being an inside job.

After 16 years it is about time to have a look in to the 9/11 as a non partisan way to know the truth before it is too late. As an American and as a Muslim I can't believe how a Muslim can promote self-destruction while also killing innocent fellow citizens and neighbors! Since it is the core violation of Islamic believe system. Islamic faith promotes that love of their country is a fundamental believe of Islam and as a part of faith (Iman). Love of neighbor has been given the priority beyond religion (Muslims) and blood relatives according to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. I do see by 9/11 only the apartheid regime defense contractors in USA are the sole beneficiaries. There might have been collusion on this tragic incident.

I am not technical person but from the amount of research, videos and statements from US ex-intelligence officers, etc. viewed - I certainly agree that the way these buildings fell down had to be a miracle to collapse without causing much damage to any other buildings in the surrounding areas. Flightpath radars were down at the time - why would the USA do this? Further information coming to light from Wikileaks is just mind blowing and I am sure there are a lot of people shaking in their boots right now. It all comes down to $ and very interesting that the ownership of the building was taken over just prior to this tragedy, therefore a large insurance sum was paid out to the new owner.

When I was in fourth grade my science teacher recommended to my mother to get me tested for the Gifted & Talented program as she felt I was very precocious. I tested into the 99.8 percentile in the United States. I'm self taught, and proficient in many fields of research, especially physics. What I witnessed that day defied all laws of physics.
If timed, both Towers fell within free fall speeds. Having looked at the best calculations, the highest the temperatures reached, was over calculated at 540'F, way under the temperature necessary to actually start causing even the slightest metal fatigue. It was therefore impossible for there to have been structural deformities leading to a pancaking of the structural steel that day. I've also seen the thermitic residues found, and have seen spectral analyses of these residues. It was incontrovertibly thermite, and controlled demolition that brought down the Towers that day.

My first realization that something was fundamentally wrong with the official narrative about 9/11 was when I casually looked for pictures taken by ordinary citizens showing planes hitting the South tower. I found none. Without exception, the plane approaching and striking the South tower was the most photographed event in the history of photography. Why, because every set of eyes in the view area was riveted on the North tower. And, every person who had a camera would have had that camera in their hands. Yet there were no pictures to be found using a Google image search. Where are the pictures? Not a single picture showing clear markings of a passenger plane approaching or hitting the South tower. There should have been thousands.
