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.

Occupation: Journalist/Tv Producer
British, born in London and educated in the far East and Europe. Father was an officer in the British intelligence services. I have been a high end TV producer for the past 18 years, Covering subjects such as the Mafia, P2, Ambrosian bank/Roberto Calvi affair, the death of the Princess of Wales and Dr David Kelly. Iraq and the pharmaceutical industry. Have a slot as a regular guest correspondent on a radio show in Buenos Aires where we discuss world conspiracies and jet black projects. I have five children and live on a farm. Had my 12 year old child abducted in 2009 to the UK and have been fighting for the past year at The high Court of London for the return of that child. While in court my facebook page was held up as evidence of me being a ''cult member'' because I am a member of several social groups such as '' fight the NWO'' a group that investigates UFO's and jet black project technology and a group that analysis the possibility of the 2012 pole shift! I'm also a member of the Mozart fan group! HMMmm... They rewarded the abductor with my child, even though social services did a full investigation and found me to be a ''good mother'' and ''protective element''! I have no mental illness or drug history yet if one questions today's ''reality'' such as 9/11 being an inside job you are classed as a ''headcase''. I mention this very personal info as feel my interest in government conspiracies has affected my rights in court, Which only encourages me more to fight for truth justice and full disclosure!
There is no doubt in my mind that the 9/11 event was a false flag op conducted by *** and ** and ****** The way the event was presented in the media real time had all the marks of a prepared event, for example, the EARLY BBC reporting of the collapse of the Sullivan building 7,while it was still visibly standing over the correspondents shoulder! Various ''strange'' breathless characters that were interviewed and who gave details that were not witnessed by the majority present to implant false memories in the still shocked public's mind and ad credence to the ''fairytale'. This is a typical method of brainwashing by the CIA, which they learned at the end of WWII from Germany. The removal of the debris so as to hide the condition of the steel girders that had obviously been ''sliced through'' by something. The free fall collapse and the failure for the building to just buckle and lean over as in other large building fire collapse. The constant use of the word ''terrorists'' by the leaders in the early hours. the fat they want us to believe that a fire was so intense that it made a massive building fall free fall and melt steel did not even singe a passport found at the foot of the site which was supposed to be from one of ''the terrorists''. The fact that the ''patsies'' accused of flying the craft attended a flying school in florida that is used by the CIA! and that the local aviation authority was told to ''back off'' when they wanted to do a check on the school pre event. We are led to believe that ''novice pilots'' did what a Luftwaffe pilot would find challenging. The fact that the weekend before the collapse there were power failures in the building and many technicians were seen to be entering and leaving the building throughout the day and night supposedly fixing ''the lights''.The fact that the twin towers security was controlled by a Bush member is also a perfect coincidence. Also how could a building that holds so many people have its escape doors to the roof LOCKED! was that ever officially addressed? I also suspect that the plane that went down in PV was shot down, as the debris was not that expected of a typical commercial plane crash. Also telling is how the US government had the ''Patriot act'' ready to go!UKUSA had already in place various other bills that prepared them for the invasion of the middle east only weeks prior this event. The debris from the collapse was not that of a fire collapse. The fact that the twin tower site was a ''white elephant'' but was acquired only weeks previously by Larry Silverstein who took out an insurance that would cover terrorist attacks by aircraft. The 9/11 event is probably one of the greatest evil plans the world has ever seen where the perpetrators got away with it. They used this to control the middle east and its resources , remove civil liberties like taking candy of a child and then They also collected billions on the insurance and then had the freedom to rebuild what was till then a site that was not free for demolition. talk about perfect! have to hand it to them, they knew the majority of the public are too dumb to believe they would ever do such a thing, yet they did!I have too many comments to make so ! will save it for a forum! excuse any typos

There are too many unanswered questions about how 9/11 happened and how the towers fell. WT7 is a classic example, reported as fallen, yet still standing. Being a pyrometallurgist with steelmaking experience, you realise that steel melts at 1500 odd degrees celsius. You need a lot of fuel and energy to reach those temperatures - exactly how did it get so hot?

In December 2005 I received a B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Missouri - Columbia. Since then, I have worked in the construction industry designing electrical systems and managing the installation of electrical systems.
The question is all about investigation techniques: Look at the facts of the WTC, specifically Tower 7, collapses: 1) Terrorists used explosives on WTC 1 in 1993. 2) Over 118 first responders reported hearing explosions before all 3 collapses, many said it sounded like the 'bang-bang-bang' you hear during a demolition. 3) We have video, photographic and audio evidence of explosions after the impact and before collapse. 4) Live news was reporting multiple explosions, and the possibility terrorists also planted explosives. 5) Barry Jennings, the Emergency Coordinator for the NY Housing Authority reported explosions in Tower 7. He also reported being knocked down by explosions prior to the collapse of the tower. 6) Molten steel AND concrete were found at Ground Zero 'remember, hydrocarbon fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel or concrete.'N.F.P.A. 921- 19.2.4 Exotic Accelerants states that molten steel and concrete could indicate the use of exotic accelerrants, specifically Thermite. 7) WTC 7 was the first concrete and steel high rise to collapse during a fire that had not been struck by an aircraft. It was determined not to be significantly damaged by the falling debris, and diesel fuel tanks DID NOT contribute significantly to the fire (according to NIST final report 2008). So, with all these indicators, would you test for exotic accelerants/explosive residue/Thermite? How could you confirm or rule out the possibility that terrorists planted explosives in addition to the aircraft hits? Why does N.I.S.T. REFUSE to this day to test for exotic accelerrants in the most heinous crime in U.S. history? With the first high rise building collapses in history, why would N.I.S.T. NOT test for accelerants? Especially, with so many indicators, one in which we have lost so many lives, so many Brothers, so many Freedoms, and our Economy. I have not found a single fire investigator who can give a reason other than they didn't want to find exotic accelerants or they were incompetent! Well, if it was incompetence, we can go back and still test. If you can't answer why, then please take the time to investigate. Browse our website, and please sign the petition. Our communities trust us. If we let them know this is not how professionals investigate, or how we treat our Brothers and Sisters who gave so much, they will listen.

I'm a lawyer who was disbarred by Florida in another GOP cover up in which every witness in the trial against me, including three police officers, committed perjury in order to wrongfully convict and disbar. Thus, I know first hand that these people are willing to commit crimes and decieve people in order to accomplish what they want. In this case, they wanted a new Pearl Harbor to justify a global war on terror.
I just don't believe a single plane crashing into the World Trade Center towers could cause what was in effect a perfect demolition. There had to be internal explosives to cause such a massive, free-fall collapse of the buildings, which contained thousands of tons of steel and cement. The images of molten steel at the foot of the towers is proof that there were internal demolitions--and also proof of an inside job.

I have had twenty-eight years experience in the field of engineering design, construction and management.
I have seen buildings demolished in a controlled manner. The twin towers and building seven all collapsed in an identical fashion to a controlled fall. I do not believe structural damage from impact or subsequent fire could have brought those buildings down. Someone had to have access to the buildings beforehand to plant some type of explosive devise. The military grade explosive found in the dust around Manhattan needs to be accounted for. We owe it to the thousands of people who died to find out who perpetrated and assisted in this event.

It's strange that there are so many fundamental observations that can be made that prove, beyond a doubt, that the events of that day differ from the generally accepted causes. - - Seems it is more like a religious debate, or a political debate, and many people will take a side and not budge the slightest, even when presented simple observations or facts. For example, - 1. Rate of collapse of the buildings - 2. The projectiles that are projected perpendicular to the force of gravity - 3. The destruction of an entire building, below the impact point by a significantly SMALLER 'hammer' ie, the top part of the building - 4. The repeated observations by credible witnesses, ie the fireman, that observed many, many explosions - 5. In the videos of the destruction, anyone can see the significant emissions of material horizontally out from the building - - And on and on... You don't need a microscope to figure this one out.

The collapse of the three WTC buildings would seem to defy the laws of mechanics, conservation of energy and known structural failure behavior. The case for the destruction of the three WTC buildings by means of controlled demolition is overwhelming.

I said on 12 Sept 2001 that the tower collapses were not due only to aircraft impact and fuel fire. Official explanation of collapses scientifically impossible. Realize that Americans need time to de-traumatize; then maybe to understand the overall plan by persons-yet unknown who seem to control this and possibly future US Administrations. Am obviously concerned about the implications for Canada.

Controlled demolition is the only scientifically plausible explanation of the collapses of the three buildings. Recall that in 1945 a 10-ton U.S. B-25 bomber hit the 79th floor of the much older Empire State Building. The building remained and remains fully intact though 3 crew members and 11 office workkers died. The 9-11 investigations were scientifically shoddy and much important evidence was prematurely disposed of. A fresh and unbiased investigation is urgently required of this, our new Pearl Harbor.

In 2001, I was shocked by the 9/11 attacks and accepted the official explanation. In 2005, I first heard the WTC controlled demolition idea and became interested in the collapse mechanism of the WTC buildings. So far, controlled demolition provides the most complete explanation for the collapse mechanism. The crucial missing piece of the controlled demolition explanation is who did it. 9/11 study is a fascinating puzzle and mystery.

After retiring have performed pre-purchase home inspections on over 100 properties. For fun have converted to electric power and driven for three years a 1981 VW Rabbit.
I was shocked to learn that Bldg.7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Investigation Report, as it is in my mind the key event in questioning all of the happenings on 9/11. But when few people even know that the building existed, it is difficult to discuss with them what happened to it and how it relates to the overall picture.

After studying the events of 9/11 for many years, I have concluded that the twin towers and WTC building #7 were brought down by controlled demolition. There are way too many items to go into here but the A&E 9/11 group has very carefully laid out the plausible explanation of the physics of how the buildings collapsed. An investigation needs to be conducted to finally get to the bottom of this tragedy.

Since the Oklahoma bombing I lost faith in getting the truth from nat'l. media and our gov. I felt strongly when the WTC fell that it was impossible (and argued with colleagues for years), with my knowledge/ understanding of alloy and structural steels. Then heard later another building fell but no one talked about it... Why? Then the Pentagon and PA... TV reports explained the alloy steel and titanium in landing gear and jet engines vaporized because they hit so hard... Bull, these metals do not vaporize no matter they were traveling at 500mph or 1000mph... So, where are they? No one answers... Letters to congressman and the local TV investigators gets you no response or something unrelated..... why? I'm glad someone has put this site together, finally, people who see the same things I've seen and been scorned for all these years.

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.

When I found the information about the collapse of the three WTC buildings, I noticed that it is clear that the official account of what caused the collapse does not explain all of the observed behavior of the buildings before, during, and after their collapse. I think that a more rigorous investigation is required into what caused these buildings to collapse, regardless of how uncomfortable some of the information that may uncover may be.

It was dated 1-28-06. I contacted the journalist and asked if there were any other stories and she sent me two others. After reading them and finally thinking about it and based on my engineering education and experience, I realized that we have been lied to and that there was a coverup. For instance if the floors pancaked and fell one on the other from the fires, which could not possibly melt and cut the steel, the 47 massive columns over a quarter mile high would still be standing! There was no forensic investigation and the steel fell in lengths that could be loaded and trucked to the west coast and shipped to Asia. Also the R9/11 Commission report did not mention the 47 story WTC 7, which fell the afternoon that the two towers fell in the morning! A sure sign of a false report. My opinion is that the 3 WTC buildings fell as a result of planted cutting charges - an inside job. Regarding the Pentagon, I believe from the size of the hole in the ext. wall and lack of airplane debris, that it must have been a missile. As for the 4th plane that supposedly crashed near Shanksville, PA, there was only a smoking hole in the ground and all the debris was scattered over a very wide area so it must have been shot down.

There is just way too much overwhelming evidence that discredits the official story. Practically any ONE of which is enough by itself. When taken as a whole it makes your jaw drop and wonder what happened to our country.

The nearly free-fall velocity and the symmetrical path of collapse of Building 7, the confined footprint of the building's debris, the lack of any external force applied to the building's exterior are suspicious. Coupled with these factors, a visual comparison of the collapse with that of buildings being leveled by professional, controlled demolition suggests that the cause officially attributed to the failure (weakening of the structural members due to fire) is exceedingly unlikely. The true cause was likely an intentional, controlled demolition using explosive thermal charges typically employed for such purposes. The failures of WTC Buildings 1 and 2, likewise, are suspicious due to the inherent design strength of the buildings' cores to withstand aircraft impact; the relatively low temperature of a kerosene fire v. the temperature required for structural steel failure; the presence of subterranean molten steel, suggesting that a high-temperature cutting material was employed (thermate or a derivative); the debris cloud, which resembled that from an explosion; and like Building 7, the near free-fall velocity of collapse. Together these factors suggest that the cause of collapse was an intentional deployment of a professionally designed and executed demolition process utilizing systematically and remotely detonated, thermal cutting charges strategically situated throughout the buildings on key structural support members and their joints.

It is clear from my research into the collapses of the WTC twin towers and WTC7 that the official explanation as reported by FEMA is not the whole truth of the matter. I hope that the truth regarding these collapses, whatever it may be, comes to the public's attention. I therefore support further investigation.

One of our primary responsibilities as architects and engineers is to ensure public safety in and around our structures, and we take this seriously. It is also our responsibility as concerned American citizens to ask questions and seek honest answers. I encourage everyone to read the numerous books, technical reports and papers about the WTC; look closely at the photographs and videos; listen to the speakers with an open mind. Decide for yourself, and take a stand for what you believe. As a structural engineer I believe in the laws of physics and rely on them every day. - - - - After much reading and studying it is obvious that NIST, FEMA and the 9/11 Commission have all fallen short of a detailed accounting of the catastrophic collapses of the three World Trade Center buildings in Manhattan on 9/11/01. A few examples of unexplained details include the severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel as described in Appendix C of the FEMA Building Performance Study, the complete symmetrical collapses following asymmetric structural damage and short-term fires, and the chemical signature of incendiary compounds found in the toxic WTC dust. - - - - I would really like to know why complete collapse of the twin towers became inevitable as expressed by NIST without any scientific analysis to substantiate it. Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing most of the contents into dust and ash - twice? Why would WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified - and necessary - for all three collapses.

Being a civil engineer and understanding the laws of physics, I know that a building cannot fall a free fall speed without the floors already falling also giving no resistance. I wish our congressmen were as smart, and also showed some backbone and got a truly independent investigation going. Also, this 911 truth movement has shown to me that our press is as every bit controlled and spits out as much propaganda as I thought Pravda did for the old Soviet Union. My eyes have been awakened to many things, and I have come to learn that we do not live in as free a country as I thought we did, and with the passage of the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, it has become even less so. Let's elect Ron Paul and bring our country back under the Constituion!!

Building 7: No way that building fell due to fire. The fires were small and limited and the building fell symmetrically into its footprint exactly as a controlled demolition.

From a technical point of view it is not explainable that a steel structure sinks down into its own footprint with obviously no resistance after intense fires or even a plane crash.

The official report describing the cause of the collapse of the three structures at the World Trade Center seems to reach conclusions not based on the evidence presented and does not address evidence that does not support the conclusion. It is not credible. Many actions, costing many lives and billions of taxpayers money have been initiated based on the story repeated in that report. The American People, and the people of the world, deserve a thorough review of all the relevant data and facts and an open analysis and conclusion from a reputable and diverse professional group. Please find the courage to support revisiting the facts surrounding the collapse of the buildings on 9/11. Thank you.

After reviewing several videos and documentaries it is clear to me that there needs to be an independent, comprehensive investigation, and subsequent education of the general public of the actual cause of the so called collapse of the world trade center buildings. I am certain if engineers and scientists work together the real cause of the destruction of the buildings will be understood. The official explanation by the US government is not supported by the superfluous evidence of what occured that day.

A rudimentary knowledge of physics and in particular Newton's laws of motion is all that is needed to realize that all three collapses could not have happened as we have been led to believe. It is simply not physically possible for a structure to collapse at near-free fall speed and, at the same time, pulverize all of its concrete and steel into tiny fragments; there is not sufficient energy available to achieve both results simultaneously. A collapse at near-free fall speed would require that there be absolutely no internal resistance within the structure to hinder its acceleration under gravity. Buildings such as these are designed for combinations of extreme loads that include earthquakes and hurricanes with a sizeable factor of safety thrown in. On a calm day, for buildings with lower than full occupancy, each of the WTC towers' strength capacity was quite likely five to six times higher than that required to support its actual applied loads. Each of the plane impacts were toward the tops of each of the Towers and, of course, the buildings get very considerably stronger toward the lower levels to support the loads applied from above. For this massively strong support structure to just crumble away at near-freefall speed would have required immense amounts of explosive energy; the 'collapses', quite simply, cannot have occurred any other way! There is no doubt that there were vast quantities of extra energy applied to the structures to achieve both rapid collapses and complete destruction of their components. This energy can realistically only have come from explosive charges. Anyone who views the videos can see that the Twin Towers exploded outward and upward during their collapse, quite simply impossible in a pure collapse scenario. The chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at near-free fall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote as to be beyond even consideration. 9/11 is an event that has changed world history and the lives of millions, mostly for the worst. I do not want to sit back and pretend it was one thing, when I know with 100% certainty it was something quite different. The greatest crime of all time must be subject to the best investigation of all time!
