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.

Metallurgy/Material Science - have worked in the welding and fabrication industry for over 25 years.
From the moment I saw the towers fall I could not believe that the impact from a plane could cause those towers to fall straight down as they did. Being involved in the metal fabrication industry it was impossible for those towers to free fall as they did with little to no resistance. It was a perfect demolition job and not a result of pancaking floors - the building fell straight down as if the structural steel frame holding it all together was completely compromised. I am shocked that it has taken this long for the truth of what actually happened to begin to surface.

Laws of physics cannot be overruled. A building built with safety-factor 5, and strong enough to withstand storms, earthquakes, planes etc can not 'fall down' like it's made of paper. Buildings have resistance to collapse - that's why they don't just fall. When they just fall, the construction has been tampered - and I would like to get further into this problem.

In my professional opinion, the NIST reports on the collapse of WTC buildings 1,2 and 7 on 9/11 do not explain a number of observed and measured items. These include but are not limited to: the acceleration of the buildings during collapse, the sudden and complete collapse of the buildings, the presence of molten steel, and the presence of thermite.

People say 'too many moving parts' etc in dismissing any theory other than the official one. But if there's a corrupt administration and complicit media covering for a few rich powerful men who've made billions then it doesn't matter if someone is caught red-handed. Without a platform there can be no reckoning. If this case was a murder trial with a regular 12-person jury, there would be enough circumstantial evidence to convict he or she ten times over. It will of course come out one day; but by then the protagonists will all be long gone. It must happen now.

After obtaining a Diploma of Agriculture (Longerenong, Victoria) I spent my early years as an employee, then contractor, in Queensland. I obtained a block of virgin bush in Western Australia which I cleared and developed as a sheep and grain farm. With that accomplished I moved to Perth and enrolled at the University of Western Australia. On graduating I worked as a research officer for the Department of Agriculture for a number of years then embarked on a project manufacturing solar tracking devices based on a patented concept and finally moved to consulting.
It is my belief that it is important for those who dispute the official explanation for the WTC collapses to stick rigidly to the evidence which stands up to scientific scrutiny. I have now written and co-authored a number of papers examining various aspects of the collapses (Journal of 9/11 Studies). All observations are in accord with controlled demolition but not with fire and impact damage. The NIST report falls far short of a proper scientific study.

If the plot of the 911 had existed as you think, the Democrats grasp the first time on such a case.

You will find no secret agents sanity for embarking on a murderous rampage against his fellow Americans, when he knows pertinent that those who ask him to do that, probable men will be gone in the next election, and that they will no longer cover it. And that's not to mention the risk it so well before the next change of government.

It seems incredible to me that anyone can believe that these collapses of buildings into their own footprints at near free fall speed can be attributed to the forces of gravity aided by structural damage from the planes and heat from burning office materials weakening the steel structure. Once I read the work of Stephen Jones, BYU Physics Dept., Emeritus, on thermite reactions I concluded that a controlled demolition was the most likely explanation of how the 3 trade center buildings came down in the way they did.

The main evidence which makes me believe there's a problem in the official version is the lack of transparency of all those Commissions, and the way they still refuse to discuss questions raised by scientists and experts.

On the balance of physical as well chemical analytical evidence available from NIST, EPA, FEMA and and the open peer-reviewed scientific literature, it appears to be possible that the three buildings WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 were in fact brought down by a controlled demolition using (resonantly wired) Al/S/Fe2O3 based thermite explosives, possibly in form of a silica based sol-gel coating applied to the central steel cores of the towers and/or WTC-7. A truly independent group of engineers and scientists (possibly composed only of non-US citizens from other NATO/G-7 countries) should be set-up to investigate this possibility.

Common sense suggested from the moment of watching the buildings fall, that they were demolished deliberately and by explosive means. Such demolition and the required time for set-up, as well as the subsequent cover-ups by various government agencies and commissions requires the conclusion that multiple elected agents of the executive and legislative branches of this government were complicit in the 9/11 crime.

The official investigation was insufficient in it's scope. Much of the post-collapse evidence has been left out of the official investigation. The questions that have been raised due to the post-collapse evidence have been ignored and certainly left unanswered. The official explanations for the 3 major collapses are not backed by physical evidence. Catastrophes that would be considered minor compared to the events of 9/11 have been investigated with greater care and completeness than what has been done and reported by NIST and FEMA. A more thorough investigation of the cause of the collapse of those three buildings is long overdue.

I'm a tenured professor at MIT, and have been teaching there for the past 15 years. I started off as a field consultant working with structural engineers, and gradually moved up in the industry. After I received my doctorate I moved back to Boston, and started teaching at MIT.
It all started when I first saw the attack on television. There was an abundance of information, supplied by, 'experts', and the media. However, there were so many questions left unanswered. I took the liberty of running some of the numbers myself. I had to do this because the collapse just seemed too precise, falling onto it's own footprint, the near freefall speed of the collapse. Even other factors, like the explosions heard on the lower floors, are trivialized by the media. The numbers just don't add up.

I am an economist and a student of public affairs. I have no technical expertise that qualifies me to judge these matters. But I can read, can listen, and have become convinced that the official story of what happened on 9/11/01 simply cannot be true.
The official story of the collapse of building 7, delayed until August 2008, not mentioned once in the 911 commission report, defies credibility. The NIST report on the towers, to a lay person, could, possibly be true. But the official story of the collapse of building 7 cannot be true. And if that isn't true, the tower collapse story probably isn't true either.

Statement: The events on 9/11 will remain one of the worst crimes of the 21st century, and served already as pretexts for wars that claimed thousands of lives. They compromised the relation of Western countries with large parts of the world, and have already been used to strip the population of Western countries off vital democratic rights. There is compelling evidence that, in contrast to what the world has been told about the 9/11 events, the WTC towers were destroyed by controlled demolition. Consequently, one may conclude that the so-called 'attack on America' was in fact an inside job. Bringing the truth to light is crucial for enabling future generations to live in a more peaceful and just world.

I believe that the www.ae911truth.org website presents compelling evidence that the collapses of the WTC towers on 9/11 was very likely a result of controlled demolitions, and that previous investigations, including those by FEMA, NIST, and the 9/11 Commission were not sufficiently independent of conflicts of interest and political influence, and that a new investigation of the evidence by a truly independent body of scientists, engineers, and architects is a moral imperative, for revealing to everyone the truth about what happened, and laying the groundwork for true justice and reconciliation.

A couple of weeks before 9/11 I watched a documentary about the development of techniques that enabled the demolition of a building without destroying others nearby - when I watched the 9/11 news footage, the buildings appeared to fall as if by planned demolition, which I found very strange. When the Bush administration did not call for an investigation, then resisted calls for an investigation, my doubts about their explanation increased. Thanks to Richard Gage and others there are solid reasons to demand an independent investigation into this event.

The way the buildings fell appeared very controlled and do not seem characteristic of a structural failure from fire. I have always been extremely concerned about WTC7 collapsing, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A CONTROLLED FASHION, when the only damage was minor fires and some structural damage from falling debris.

Even after all of these years, the absence of common sense understandings about the 9/11 event by the public is very frustrating. One does not need to be a degreed engineer or architect to understand that it took lots of help to make those buildings fall so neatly into their own footprints. I consider the deaths of those in the WTC towers on that fatal day to be murder. I remain amazed that the interest in the subject seems to have evaporated.
