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.

There are many well known questions to be answered: the speed of collapse, building 7 (and what it contained), then planes and their flight recorders, insider trading and their sources of information, and on and on. The most disturbing part is the handling of the material after the event. It should have been made publicly available for study by engineers and universities or anyone interested in researching and possibly preventing a similar disaster, but it was quickly disassembled and kept out of public view. I wonder if any of the material could still be traced into China.

I thought from the first time that I saw the buildings fall that there is no way that all three of those buildings could come straight down as they did. Things just don't happen like that in the real world. Maybe one building, but not all three in such a perfect manner.

I am a recent graduate of middle Tennessee state university, located in Murfreesboro.
In 2002, I submitted a research paper on the collapse of the Twin Towers. My conclusion was that the fires caused by the colliding passenger planes could not have generated the very high temperature necessary to weaken the concrete-reinforced steel columns. I cited examples from books written about CDI (Controlled Demolition, Inc.) to illustrate parallels between the Twin Towers' collapse and standard controlled demolitions.

I find the official narrative of symmetrical structural collapse of WTC 1 & 2 as a consequence of being struck by airliners and subsequent contents fires, and the collapse of WTC 7 solely as a consequence of contents fires to be unpersuasive, nor does it account for the energy required to produce the blanket of extremely fine dust containing nanothermite which spread over lower Manhatten, nor does it account for the thousands of minute particles of human remains found on the rooftops of neighboring buildings. Much is yet to be revealed.

I was EXTREMELY skeptical to say the least when first told of this possibility of 9/11 being staged. Putting by disbelief aside for a while proved to be the most eye-opening experience of my life! Further investigation into the WHO & WHY has been akin to a born-again experience in finding the REAL truth of who runs this country and the world. I've always wondered why things are the way they are and now it makes total sense. If you truly LOVE & CHERISH this country as I do and want it to remain FREE for your children's children,,, then pass the word to anyone who will listen about this site and what really occurred on 9/11. If we gain enough support,,, this can be the TRIGGER that awakens the rest of the world to the real reason behind this travesty! Wake-up and be the Patriot you were meant to be! You don't have to go fighting in the streets to be a patriot. Simply spread the information and let the process of information exchange and learning take care of the rest. May God truly bless us all!

I received my BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have spent the last 13 years working in the power electronics industry, working on both commercial and military contracts. I also spent 6 years in the active and reserve Army.
The official story defies the laws of physics in many ways. There was clearly insufficient caloric content in the fuel that the planes would have had on board to melt the steel structure. There is no historical precedent showing evidence for a steel structured building collapsing as a result of a fire, or a plane impact, much less falling at the speed of gravity, and falling straight down, with all of the floors reduced to rubble. The only known building collapses that bear any resemblance to this failure were those intentionally destroyed with explosives. Furthermore, building # 7 was not hit with a plane.

Walpole, NH
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in 1981. In the intervening years I worked at a variety of jobs, the most applicable being the 12 years when I did instrumentation & controls and then mechanical design engineering for a variety of industries. I have a typical plodding but thorough and mechanistic and engineering approach to any subject I approach.
I felt indignation when I first heard that people were questioning the official version of 9-11 events. It took several years for it to filter through to me that building 7 fell at free fall speeds 7+ hours after the towers. I've perused the NIST report dated 2008. I do understand the elaborate chain of events described therein and they sound very unlikely. I've heard some expert testimony questioning many of the premises and details NIST used to construct their report. I'm convinced the NIST report is unsatisfactory and that we owe it to the victims, their families and to ourselves to continue investigating. The bad guys are still out there. Their monumental arrogance and sociopathic mentality will continue to surface if we don't.

After years of suspicion, I became convinced this year through your videos and postings about building 7. I am interested in the cover up as it appears more than obvious has taken place. America is a great country and will get even better once the real perpetrators are brought to justice.

Les morts qui en ont result', qu'ils fussent Am'ricains, Afghans, Irakiens et je ne parle m'me pas des arrestations arbitraires, suivi de tortures dans diff'rents pays avec des citoyens de toutes nationalit's, tout cela sous couvert d'une protections n'cessaire face ' des ennemis, trop d' abus, de souffrance, de mensonges. Justice doit 'tre faite. Et quelques fois la justice a besoin d''tre au pied du mur, sans possibilit' de s''chapper pour enfin faire son travail. Peu importe le temps que cela prendra, pourvu que le r'sultat soit ' la hauteur de nos attentes. Merci pour votre d'marche, surtout ne c'd' ' aucune pression. Vous avez le soutien de toutes les personnes 'prises de justice. Et nous sommes nombreux, croyez moi. D'sol'e pour le roman mais il fallait que je le dise. Cordialement.

I am constantly amazed by the sheer audacity of this crime and the unwillingness of the general public to look objectively at the evidence. If people would just look at the evidence it is impossible to attribute 9/11 to planes crashing into buildings. The story does not stand up at even the most basic levels.

For 10 years I was a custodian for a 10 acre campground and a 53,000 sq ft church building. My public school education was until 9th grade. I've worked around various construction sites in the past.
Having read about and watched videos regarding the Sept 11th event It's very obvious that explosives were used. I probably have about all of the books and videos that have been provided. I've been interested in aviation from the time I was a toddler. Over several years I've watched and re-watched all of the online videos that I can find. And have read books regarding this event. It does not take much common (or UN-common) sense to see what happened according to videos, and other recorded evidence. All three WTC buildings were imploded.

I attended college for two years and obtained a transfer degree; unfortunately I did not continue after that.
I watched as the events of that day unfolded on live television, seeing the unbelievable demise of two steel-framed buildings as their skeletal structure was blown completely apart and crumbled into themselves. Sitting there in complete disbelief watching as fire slowly spread through a few offices in Building 7, expecting to see the fire extinguished - it was an utter surprise as it too collapsed down into itself a couple of hours later.

In some time in the future when the truth has long been told about 9/11, new generations will ask how so many people were duped into going along with with what turned out to be the real conspiracy. Similar in many ways that we ask how so many good people were duped by the Nazis.

Take a five-legged table for instance. Knock out two of those legs, it falls with a tilt. Same can be said for the dozen or so I beams. The tops of the buildings should have toppled, leaving a decapitated building.

I say the WTC collapse was a demolition due to the fact that steel, with a 2800 degree threshold, does not buckle in 1000 to 1800 degree heat. It would have taken at least three hours at 2800 degrees for steel to even start thinking about melting, let alone turn into a pile of molten goo. That is just my unprofessional opinion, I'm no subject matter expert on this, but I did get past the sixth grade in school. These buildings had much more than office fires and didn't buckle.
