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.

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.

Critical and doubtful of explanation of pulverization of debris from collapse. I would have expected a considerably larger debris result rather than the near-powder-like resulting debris. Critical and doubtful of impact explanation leading to a near-symmetric and controlled collapse. I would expect a much more random or toppling collapse scenario given the varying lateral forces and uncontrolled points of impact.

22 years old. I started questioning the collapses in 2005. Currently I'm studying. I don't have any formal technical education, but I have always been interested in technology and physics.
On 9/11 3 buildings were demolished in a controlled demolition. The molten metal, the reports of bombs and secondary devices and the way the buildings came down clearly shows something is wrong with the official explanation. If anything the above chunk of the towers would have toppled over, following the path of least resistance. Actually we clearly see this happening at the onset of collapse but then as the building is demolished beneath there is no resistance to make it continue to topple over. WTC7 is the loaded gun as Niels Harrit states. Plain and simple. Anyone seeing that video with a basic empirical knowledge of the physical world will know that the collapse could not be caused by fires alone.

It is painfully obvious to me... to anyone that has taken the time for personal investigation, that 9/11 is a government cover-up. A mass murder. For money, and political advantage. I am formulating a series of my own questions and concerns, and am in early stages of doing what I can for the cause. It is our collective efforts that will reveal the truth. If we as a nation cannot get to the bottom of this, we have failed as human beings, and will likely suffer a similar fate as the victims of 9/11. As the saying goes, The truth is out there, Let's find it!

Low carbon steel used in construction of steel buildings bends under pressure. It does not break. Also the beams used in buildings are larger and stronger at the lower floors, it means that the fall of Building 7 must have been slowed down as each falling floor hits a lower floor.

I am a selfemployed welder who knows how fires could have never caused those core column beams to be sliced as the one showed in pictures why our government are so ignorant when it comes to looking for those who are responsible for this horrific crime are as guilty as those domestic terrorist who implemented and were at the highest levels of the Bush administration and I have a strong feeling after doing a lot of research that Israel had plaid a pArt as well there were many corporations who had motives to have a trillion dollar profit from suplying all the vbhardware that the two wars would require in search of the terrorist who never existed to kill .Following those that did profit and gained power and to secure security for Israel are in my oppinion those responsible this part I am sure of though and it was not Arabs with Box cutters responsible for sure the eviudence states so many diferent ways that a cover-up took place the only reason a coverup took place would be to protect the governments role in it.Any body who has the courage to look at the evidence comes to a painful truth that leaves them changed completely and have no longer the trust for government corporation real intent to provide safety to the people because they are cold blooded mass murders and need to be tried in a transparent trial by a jury .Obama is also as guilty as the previous administration with all the evidence to deny the people the right to see real true justice is helping to protect those criminals and that makes him one as well .These criminals are running our country for the sake of organized criminal glory for power and profit at the expense of killing innocent people terrorizing and torture for this shows how cold blooded and ruthless they are and have no care in the world for human life or suffering until there brought to justice wer are enslaved to the needs of real monsters hell bent on playing the same staged type event agin except you can count on it being more shocking than 911 was...
There is no doubt explosives were used. There are no doubts about it there was a cover-up to prevent evidence being gathered about the reason those buildings were brought down were irresponsible investigators to have such a bogus fraudulent report intended to put blame away from those in our government who were responsible and the military industrial complex , the oil cartels ,and new Nazi style government entities for control over people and removing rights to liberty .The Taliban gained nothing follow the money and at the end of that trail are the ones responsible for the collapses..

I have been a political prisoner and seen the aftermath of September 11, 2001 and the police stating that continues to get worse because of the effects of fear over our country. The forensic evidence is overwhelming to say the least concerning the events of 9/11 the barrage of information is more than just theory it is in fact truth. The Buildings were professionally demolished by other explosive means than what is said in the Commission report.

Work in a refinery for 25yrs. and steel will not melt from gas from planes. Steel has to get to a temperature of 2300 to 2400 degrees before it will melt. Jet fuel will only get to 900 to 1000 degrees, not hot enough to melt steel.
It was an inside job. There is no way it was brought down by a plane. It was a controlled demolition by the people that were leasing the building and some of the people in the White House. They new what was going to happen, that is why they were not there. Like the governor of New York. Why was he and all the other people in building 7,because they knew about what was going to happen.

I work with metal, specifically steel, every single day at work. I work with temperatures of over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and I have first hand experience and understanding of the properties and changes in steel as it is heated to and brought down from these temperatures. I don't claim to know a thing about building construction or architecture, but I know at what temperatures hydrocarbons burn, and I know steel, and something just doesn't add up with the official story. I personally believe explosives HAD to have been used to achieve such a quick, complete, and unimpeded collapse of the WTC buildings.

I am a welder, and I melt metal together for a living... the moment the first tower fell I knew that whatever made it collapse had to be hotter than jet fuel, the jet fuel would have had to burn at over 1500c to melt structural steel... and the fires inside the south tower were dieing... you could tell by how much black smoke that was coming out of it. I may not be an engineer but I know metal and there is no way in hell that that jet fuel was hot enough to melt steel.

From personal observation of explosive demolitions, the footage of the building collapses could be used as educational tools of the correct way to accomplish bringing down a building in the most effective way possible. An airliner crashing into a building absolutely could not achieve this result.

My skills are centered in various skilled trades that include: master electrician, welder, machinist, A&P mechanic, master hvac, plumber, carpenter. I have both theoretical and practical knowledge of structural design, mechanical design, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics. Some might consider them hobbies but I have a lifetime of employment history utilizing these skills.
It is my opinion that based on the visual evidence available from multiple angles that there are far too many anomalies to accept the conclusions drawn by the NIST report. The visual evidence suggests controlled demolition and not a structural failure caused by the impact of airliners. As an experienced welder/machinist I have a reasonable grasp of the physical properties of structural steel including its conductive properties. No reasonable explanation has ever been offered to explain the pyroclastic bloom that blanketed much of lower Manhattan. My opinion is that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. The Twin Towers exhibited near vaporization of concrete, glass and the ejection of steel at velocities impossible to have been caused by compression failure.

I have worked in the construction business doing residential and light commercial concrete form work. I have also spent over 21 years in the heavy equipment business as a welder/fabricator/machinist, as well as working as an industrial education instructor.
Evidence of explosives found in the rubble and the lack of structural resistance (free fall) during the buildings collapse are suspect to the explanation of why the 3 buildings came down. Molten steel pouring out of one of the Towers before collapse, with no scientific reason for the steel to melt. Aviation fuel and office furniture can't produce the required heat. Unilateral systematic sequenced structural failure, attributed to randomly placed areas of stress (fire and structural damage). It does not add up.

After joining Air Canada in May 1987 as a YYZ Ramp Station Attendant I discovered that local management and the executive of my I.A.M.A.W. had a policy in place to jointly make miserable the life of any employee and/or member they chose. After four and one-half years of misery I formally complained to the only person whom I thought I could trust because he was a member of The Order of Canada, Mr. Claude I. Taylor, O.St.J., O.C., and days later I was phoned at home, told not to wear my uniform to work, told not to punch-in and to go straight to the office of the YYZ GM. I was removed from company property, held incommunicado for just four (4) hours, told to sign a sheet of paper or I would be fired. On Dec 02/92 I sent a registered letter to Air Canada's Board of Directors and the ensuing resignation of Mr. Taylor, per the front page of The Financial Post of Dec 11/92 puzzled industry analysts. After a plethora of wrongful dismissals and undue evictions I have, as of today, now been homeless for some sixty-six (66) days stemming from my first undue or any arrest.

The damage sustained by Building 7 due its proximity to the Twin Towers could not have caused the collapse of the structure. - - No steel structure of similar size anywhere in the world has ever collapsed due to fire. - - The way it collapsed and the speed with which it did so has only been witnessed in a controlled demolition. - - The explanations offered by NIST are so flawed to make them worthless as to why the collapse occurred.
