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 concern with the explanation of the towers falling from plane impact, which caused the fires, acting as a catalyst for the collapse, is that they had built the towers to withstand a hit from a plane almost exactly like the ones which were used. The other thing that I had came to believe was falsified about that day was Tower 7, specifically, falling for no apparent reason.

We need to investigate this issue in order to make sure that such a disaster will not happen again. The issue of Building #7 especially has never been fully explained and has been mostly ignored by the media. The few debris from building 1 and 2 wouldn't have been sufficient to cause building #7 to collapse into the ground the way it has. The official explanation that 'somebody' installed a tank of fuel in an office building fail to explain how the collapse would be possible - a fuel tank may cause fire etc. but not a collapse.

I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in both 1986 and 1987 with Petroleum and Mechanical engineering degrees, respectively. I currently serve as the company's Engineering Manager doing Mechanical Engineering in the water delivery field.
I have poured plenty of iron and iron based alloys in my career. Liquidus temperature for construction type steels is around 2735F - 2750F. It is impossible for the steel structure to have been compromised to the point of the type of failure that was experienced. There are many different technical things from material science to metallurgy to computer science issues that are obviously incorrect and or fabricated.

People cannot imagine who caused the buildings to fall, beyond what they have been told, but we all must face the fact that these buildings were pulled. Once it's a mainstream idea that other factors were at work, we can move on to more of the truth. How can we build more buildings now knowing that our safety codes are so inadequate? Unless of course, the buildings were blown up!

The video analyses provided create a serious question (if not PROOF) of a inconsistancy in what the public has been told and what actually happened. The symmetry and speed at which not just two - but 3 buildings collapsed points to controlled demolition which is not able to be accomplished without significant planning, preparation and execution. There are many inadequately answered questions.

In all of my experience I have never seen a structure perform in the manner described by FEMA, NIST, and the ASCE. The presence of thermite at the site and the unfathomable free fall collapse of all three structures does not fit in with the 'official' story.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in electrical engineering. I was in New York the day of the 9/11 attacks and witnessed the destruction of the twin towers first hand.
Typically, when trying to scientifically investigate the unknown cause of an event... a hypothesis is formed and tested. If it is shown that the hypothesis cannot be disproved it can be considered a possible theory. Some theories are however, better than others. Theories are often scrutinized over and compared against one another. I feel that the evidence that has been presented to me regarding the collapse of building 7 opens the possibility of better theory than the one that is currently accepted. It is my opinion that a re-evaluation of the destruction of the world trade center buildings is needed.

Watching the symmetry in which all three three towers collapsed directly into their individual footprint was both momentarily hypnotic and totally unbelievable. During the myriad of replays I viewed, before and during each tower collapse, I saw and heard different events taking place that fully convinced me other forces were at play bringing these buildings down. To name a few: 1) explosions coupled with smoke appearing at the base of the towers moments before the collapse. 2) squibs appearing to shoot out from various floors far below the initial damage area. 3) the manner in which the dust and smoke seemed to be expelled up and out from the building like an explosion as it descended. What also disturbed me was the area was totally void of being treated like a crime scene by police and government officials. Structural material was readily hauled away and shipped to foreign lands without any scientific or engineering analysis being performed. Having spent over 23 years in the military I knew in my gut with the speed at which critical evidence was disappearing and flat out lies being told by government agents, i.e. Like the aircraft black boxes found by fireman and taken by FBI agents, then making statements they weren't found. Mohammad Atta's wallet found in pristine condition a couple blocks away. Well gentleman, I smell the same rat I smelled at various times during my military career. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it until the truth is known and all involved held fully accountable, regardless of how far up the chain this trail leads us. There WILL be accountability for 9/11...

I earned a degree in engineering before transitioning into technology work.
It has been shown through video evidence that the towers have fallen at free fall speed. This cannot be accomplished without demolition explosives. This occurrence was not mentioned in the 9/11 report and therefore the report is not useful and does not illuminate what happened on that day. A true investigation needs to follow to know precisely what happened and why explosives were present on each and every floor so that they could fall at free fall speed, as well as why building seven which was not hit by a plane could be destroyed by fire alone.

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.

J'ai vu plusieurs documentaires, entendu plusieurs sp'cialistes de tout bords, et je trouve inadmissible que l'on doivent encore faire des pieds et des mains pour avoir enfin la v'rit' sur ce drame. 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.

The tragic day of our history on 9/11/2001 deserves the utmost respect for those who lost their lives, and the families who mourn them. It is our duty, we the people of the United States of America, to provide a proper investigation with oversight by the public.

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.
