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.

My background consists of one year in the Aerospace industry as a manufacturing engineer, and 11 years in the nuclear industry as a mechanical engineer specializing in remote handling equipment.
The acute similarity between the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on 9/11/01 to typical controlled high-rise building demolitions simply does not allow me to accept the official United States government story. Further, it seems to me that the weakened areas of the buildings where the airplanes impacted, upon failing, would have caused the building structure above the point of impact to topple about the point of impact, rather than fall as a they did in the manner of a controlled demolition.

I knew what I was viewing as I saw it live on TV. I heard misinformation coming from overconfident bystanders right in live-feeds. To much like Vegas hotels famously imploded. No stacks of flooring, just dust and molten steel. Horrific. It has taken some time to find this organization with whom to vent publicly and properly.

Skeptical of symmetrical and rapid collapse of towers and lack of credible description of cause of collapse. Doubts of the credibility of the whole public story of 9/11 - spent hours on the web trying to understand the specifics of the event: time lines, the actions surrounding 9/11 both before and after, evidence presented or lack thereof. The more I looked the more skeptical I have become.

I lived in Long Island as a kid from 1982 to 1984 and had the opportunity to visit the Twin Towers on two occasions then. By the way the buildings came down it is obvious to me that the cause would not have been the colision of both planes: if anything, when heated, steel structures should bend at the point that first looses the demanded resistance and would never colapse in a fragile manner throughout their entire length simultaneously. The world is onto one of the biggest and most obvious lies told in history and the truth is bound to come out. I'll be glad to help accelerate the process.

Seven years editing the Mensa Bulletin (national magazine), then Distinguished Service Award with Life Membership in American Mensa. A letter to the editor published on 9/12 in the L.A. Times and several other papers around the country, warning against a knee-jerk flight into fascism to keep us safe.
Nothing about the official story makes sense when you think about it. But the three key elements that should convince anyone with an open mind are: (1) Building 7 collapses straight into its own footprint, falling as a single mass as though in quicksand -- i.e., with the failure at the bottom all the way down. Can't happen with a few pitiful fires restricted to a few upper floors, mostly on one side of the building. (2) Molten iron (not steel) running in rivulets under the debris of all three towers; residual heat higher than the temperature of standard building fires or jet fuel persisting for more than a week. If the official story were true, only a miracle could have caused that. (3) Multiple samples of dust from the collapses, taken at varied locations, all contained two damning things. First, microspheres of iron (again, not steel), which can only arise when molten iron solidifies in mid-air. That means that least some of he steel superstructure had to be converted into iron, for that's the only possible source. Second, the dust contained unexploded particles of military-grade nanothermite -- stuff you can paint onto a surface (like steel beams) and then ignite at will. There is no conceivable reason for that to be in any of the three buildings -- yet there it was. There are countless other very obvious indicators that the official story is bogus, starting with televised predictions that WTC7 either had fallen (BBC video with WTC7 prominently in the background) or was about to fall (Giuliani was only one of many who took action based on knowledge of WTC7's collapse. When has the timing of ANY burning building's collapse been so predictable? Why was the official investigation held up for so long by the Bush Administration, and then funded with a pittance compared to the Challenger Dister investigation in which fewer than 10 people died? If a teensy bit of fire brought down all three buildings, shouldn't there be huge funding to find out if all the high-rise buildings in the world are suddenly at risk of collapsing as they burn, even though the first three steel-framed high-rise structures in history to collapse from fire happened on the same day and same place?

Based on physics and chemical evidence, it is obvious that the official explanation was false, but events were happening so quickly back then that no one took the time to question it. Sadly, it apprears that this is a massive coverup - very troubling.

As the actions that took place on 9/11/01 haven't never occurred previously it has to bring into question what external forces beyond those reported officially brought these 3 structures down in a corrective manner in the opposite direction of least resistence.

The US government could not explain what caused the symmetrical and quasi free-fall collapse of WTC7 and what caused the dustification of a great part of the contents of WTC 1 and 2, the energy needed to thrust steel beams of 240 tonnes into neighboring buildings and the reports of multiple explosions in the buildings. It could not either explain who told NY mayor Giuliani that the WTC will collapse and on what grounds such prophecy was made.

From the first moment I saw the footage on TV on the day off 9/11/2001, I was suspicious about the complete collapse off these buildings, looking like a demolition site. I do not trust this government, and am convinced they could have planned all off it. I don't believe in Terrorism, but in terrorizing us in fear.

As a Union Boilermaker, I have worked in all phases of heavy industry, including many years of working at various steel mills. I have done both erection of steel and demolition of all types of steel vessels. I have personally used oxygen/ayct. torches and also cut 3'' thick steel using oxygen lances on many occasions and understand the temperature and amount of oxygen required to melt carbon steel. I also have used thermite several times at a Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) at Sparows Point Steelmill in Baltimore to prevent 300 ton ladles full of iron from getting a slag cap.

Controlled demolitions look very similar. Aluminum doesn't penetrate steel. Jet fuel doesn't melt steel.

I graduated from the school of life, born to a Greek immigrant that landed at Ellis Island with his family, fought in WWII, and raised me to tell the truth.
I believe the whole thing was a setup by the Bush family and others in government to start an endless war in the middle east. I want those that are guilty to be brought to justice. I want the truth, thank you.

The entire world deserves the truth, which is clearly not indicated by the official investigation about the events occurred on 9/11. I do belive that the collapse of the 3 buildings can not be the result of the jet fuel and the resulting fires. Accordingly, further investigation are completly necessary!

As a financial consultant my goal is to educate my clients as to what has happened to our monetary system so they can make more informed decisions for their financial future. The most important area that I educate my clients on is the Federal Reserve.
I am not an engineer or have any professional experience in building large buildings but what struck me as odd right from the beginning were three main points. The first point is how could a building struck by a plane at the top of the building on one side come down in its foot print? Shouldn't it have toppled to the weakened side where the plane hit? The second point is how could two buildings virtually come down in their own foot print when hit by planes at the top portion of the buildings? The third point is how could a third building come down in its foot print when no other buildings between it and the Twin Towers were demolished as well? My trust in what is provided to the public from Washington DC is always suspect as to who is behind this, not telling the truth.
