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 carve jewelry from bone and antler, as well as producing various work with wood. I also paint. I am a pacifist and have been for over thirty years, not to say that i don't get angry, just that anger does not have to lead to violence. Anger is a healthy emotion, violence is a conscious decision
Since the first live transmission i have questioned the reports that were being disseminated and in my own efforts i have attempted to share as much information as i can with as many individuals as i can. The particular report that triggered alarm bells was the BBC reporting of the second plane crashing into the tower. I was watching a live transmission of BBC World in New Zealand and remember the very minute they broke into the regular broadcast with the incident of the first tower in New York. There was no doubt some confusion in the news rooms and i expected some uncertain details in the reports. I did not expect the complete absence of normal production standards, especially in a global newsroom The announcer was doing the talking head thing as the live transmission was broadcast behind her. the first tower was burning with a heavy dark smoke and the choppers where buzzing around looking for clues as to what had happened. Then the second plane entered shot and exploded as it penetrated the face of the second tower. i waited for the announcer to say something. The announcer waffled on repeating adnauseum the only thing they knew 'something has hit one of the towers at the World trade Center' nothing about the second building being hit. I waited. I waited a full four to five minutes before the words i will never forget we are getting reports that something may have happened to the second tower I always remember thinking the world witnessed that detail about five minutes ago so how come the announcer was not told what had been broadcast live on a screen behind her. This troubled me and was not raised as an issue until later in the day with the Building 7 fiasco where BBC World reported the collapse of a 47 story building twenty odd minutes before it happened. From that day i have been a Truther. I have limited resources but used creatively, i am finding numerous ways to bring questions to people, and answers to questions.

It is impossible for the highly asymmetric damage caused by the second plane hitting WTC 2 to result in the completely symmetrical collapse of that building. The incredibly symmetrical implosion of WTC 7 into its own footprint confirms that controlled demolition was involved. This could only be done well in advance of 9/11/2001, and only with the full knowledge of the security firms in control of the WTC site. It could not have been perpetrated by a ragtag group of desert desperadoes.

I have A-Levels in Physics and Maths. I do not have architectural knowledge, just common sense, and a good understanding of the laws of physics.
I have had doubts about the official investigation for about 9 years now. The more research I do into it, the more convinced I am that explosives were used. In actual fact, now I am 100% convinced that explosives were used on 9/11. There is no way a building i.e. Building 7, can fall at free fall speed for 10 floors, without explosives being used. The support columns offered no resistance at all to the fall, which is impossible, unless all the support columns in the building failed at exactly the same time!

I have studied mathematics and physics at Tulane University. I have taken numerous classes in mechanics and thermodynamics. I have also taught high school physics, and am now applying to both physics PhD and M.D. programs.
If a building collapses without assistance, all of the energy available for any sort of motion, pulverization, rotation, etc. is purely from the initial gravitational potential energy of the building. Building 7 fell at nearly perfect free fall acceleration for more than 2 seconds. This implies that if gravity were the only source of energy, all of the energy was being perfectly converted into the kinetic energy of the downward falling motion. By the conservation of energy, this leaves no energy to do the work of pulverizing the material, moving broken pieces around, rotational kinetic energy of the pieces, etc. I take this to be an argument of the form reductio ad absurdum using conservation of energy of the official story of the building's collapse. I am currently working on a lower bound reliable estimate of the energy that necessarily went into these other forms of motion and the pulverization of the concrete. This energy is not such that it could hide in the error of the free fall analysis. This is a large amount of energy, not a mere 1% but possibly on the order of the total gravitational potential energy. In short, the gravitational potential energy of the building was far less than what was quite clearly needed to both have the building fall at free fall (perfect conversion of all gravitational potential to kinetic energy) and to destroy the building as the destruction progressed. By physical necessity, using basic and known laws in a clear and obvious case, it has simply been PROVEN that there was a separate and very large input of energy beyond the mere gravitational potential energy of the building. There are many other issues, such as the high reliability of the identification of thermetic material in the rubble. There are several smoking guns in the story of Building 7. Physical theory is the most highly reliable theory available. If a valid and aptly used physical argument leads to a conclusion, no political ideas or feelings of what is 'historically or politically possible' have the epistemic authority to defeat these claims. 9/11 has simply been proven to be an inside job. There is no wiggle room, there is no error, there is no 'well what if'. It has been proven!

As a practicing physicist and inventor for over 5 decades, I have always felt that the collapse was not what was described by NIST and others. On the morning of 9/11 I was driving into Manhattan coming over the Manhattan Bridge and saw the second plane hit. I will never forget that. Late and over the years watching over and over the available video clips, I am certain as a scientist, that this was a deed most foul. By who remains still a mystery, but with our speaking out will also bring forth the truth.

The destruction of all the towers is suspicious due to many factors, however the collapse of WTC7 defies any reasonable explanation based on widely accepted and proven physical principals. This undeniable fact, along with all the other suspicious observations, calls into question the official 9/11 story.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the official story is just plain wrong. If it is true, it defies physics and everything we thought we knew about buildings and their durability. It is easy for me to see which is false. What I don't like is how many are blind to the truth or simply don't care. What originally caught my attention was how neatly WTC7 fell. When seeing videos of it falling I thought straight away this can't be, this has to be near free-fall which I knew has never happened in a steel-frame house fire. I am writing this exactly 10 years after the events and I am truly sad the majority of the population is completely ignorant about what really happened. I feel that HAS to change.

Yes, I think that collapse comes from demolition. In particular: why WTC 7, and another building, collapse, if no aeroplane comes in? This was a demolition, as said General Albert Stubblebine, past director of defense intelligence.

It is clear that the official 9/11 report was incorrect in its judgment of the collapse of the Twin Towers (WTC1 and 2) in that they fell at almost free fall velocity with no evident resistance to collapse, fell symetyrically and with no residue of the center core columns remaining. The collapse of WTC7 later that day in exactly the same manner is not explained in the official 9/11 report. It is a matter of utmost urgency that this investigation be re-opened in the light of evidence that was excluded from the official report, including eyewitness statements of explosions in the Towers and analysis of debris.

It is not gravitational collapse caused only by the plane impacts and fire. Because the planes did not hit the core columns and there is no plausible way how the vertical core columns could be broken in the same moment of time because of office fire. As physicist I know that there is no way how the potential energy of the building 7 could be fully converted to the kinetic energy in the presence of a friction force like the force from the structural elements. It is only possible if all load-bearing elements were simultaneously destructed. There are no evidences and reasons how the office fire can do it synchronously. An additional reason which is really able to do this has to be involved in consideration. Since no official investigations of this third reason have been done, the new investigation is required. I personally support the guess that it could be the directed and synchronized explosions and cross-section cuts by thermite similar to the industrial controlled demolitions.

How can three steel framed skyscrapers fall at nearly the rate of gravity into their own footprint due to fires not burning hot enough to even melt steel? This question alone makes me doubt the official story and I feel further investigations are necessary in order to uncover a much clearer picture of what happened on 9/11.

Given my knowledge of physics, the government sponsored story of 9-11 is hogwash. I demand a criminal investigation into anyone who took government money to produce that report and call it scientific. A middle school science team could have produced better at I suspect .001% of the cost. First of all it's a textbook controlled demolition, the signs of nanothermite were clearly there and the evidence was eliminated ASAP. Also, there are EYE WITNESS accounts and even public photos that show the plane was not AA. It had an undercarriage. Did the terrorists attach a bomb to the plane with their box cutters? The smoke blinded the public from the obvious free-fall demolition of those two buildings.

I am a high school student. The reason I am joining this petition is because of the inconclusive evidence provided by the 9/11 commission report. As a student currently taking physics class, one doesn't have to be an engineer to understand that the official report's explanations are contradicting basic physics.
The thing that irks me the most is the government's unwillingness to conduct a proper investigation into one of the most important events in American history. The WTC 7 collapse had many signs of a controlled demolition. Silverstein's explanation for his famous pull-it quote was completely absurd. Material made of steel and concrete fused together was also found at the site of the events. Thermite, a chemical used to create fires at more intense heat, is the only explanation for this phenomenon. The bottom line is, there are too many unanswered questions that surround 9/11. We need a new investigation, especially for the families of the victims.

To ignore the most obvious evidence in any investigation is improper at the least and potentially criminal at the worst.

I am a married educated woman of 43 years of age. I studied psychology in college, but then opted to relocate with my fiancee to Iowa where he attended chiropractic school. I worked hard at various jobs to help support us while he focused on his degree. We have been married for almost 19 years and have two bright and gifted children. Learning for me has occurred just as much in the outside' world as it has in the classroom.
It is time for an authentic investigation and unveiling of inconsistencies surrounding this tragedy of EPIC proportions. Nothing about the collapse of the buildings makes sense in any scientific way.

Too many seeming inconsistencies with the 'official' report. eg. symmetric collapse, steel melting temperatures, disposal of evidence before lab testing.

I served 2 years in the army signal corps. I attended Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana for 5 years. I spent 33 years combined as a product design engineer in electronic organs and in gas and electric ranges.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the buildings collapse but lacked the technical expertise to see through the smoke screen of the official report on the cause. However, I truly believe there should be an independent investigation into this criminal act and those found to be involved should be tried in a court which has no conflict of interest in the case.
