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.

The big key when trying to educate a novice, it seems to me, is the collapse of Building 7. So few have even heard of it, and they are startled and initially incredulous when you tell them of it. This gets their attention and provides the titilation that encourages them to listen further.

I have always suspected foul play surrounding the 9/11 events. I feel I must do my part as a U.S. citizen to help bring the truth to light. I am now totally convinced that the attacks on 9/11 was a False Flag action, conducted by an elite group, or combined groups, of our own government. Also very concerned about the continued Psy-Ops happening in the U.S.

I have had 2 years of college level physics while studying to work in the printing and publishing industry, which I had worked in for 20 years. Although that's not a lot, it has provided me with enough knowledge of physics to follow and understand your presentations. I am currently self-employed as a music/graphics teacher in NYC.
I, like many others, didn't really concern myself too much with 9/11 until I discovered the truth about a year ago. I stumbled upon an A&E 9/11 Truth video about thermite that changed my world. After jumping into the research ocean with both feet, I firmly believe that the official explanation of what happened on 9/11 could not possibly be accurate. I believe, from looking at a lot of evidence (special thanks to your website), that all 3 WTC collapses were caused by controlled demolition. I believe the airplanes flown into WTC 1 & 2 were meant to be seen as a powerful enough catalyst to bring on the total collapse of the towers. Although flying an airplane into the side of a building can do some harm, I don't feel the heat or damage would be enough to bring the towers down the way they fell. As far as Building 7 goes, a straight-down, symmetrical collapse at free-fall speed into it's own footprint for no real apparent reason can, in my opinion, only mean one thing; they had the cream-of-the-crop demolition experts at their disposal.

I have a Masters degree, Cum Laude, in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I was also accepted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society. I have 30 years of diverse design and on-site experience in the engineering field. My most relevant credentials in contributing to AE911truth is my extensive experience in computer simulation of structures and mechanical components. My active membership in NAFEMS is also a testament to my interest in modeling and simulation.
I recently reviewed much of the documentation that AE911truth has supplied and also other sources. My conclusion, based on my engineering experience and intuition, is that structures that are struck in a random nature do not respond with the type of symmetry we see in the WTC towers collapse. In fact, if one were hypothetically tasked to collapse these towers as symmetrically as they fell, it would be nearly impossible, at least for someone without expertise in demolition or other advanced techniques.

Buildings do not fall like the twin towers or building 7 unless it is a controlled demolition. I have seen buildings blown up in combat and they have burned for days. The ones that did fall down, were not as well constructed as the twin towers and they fell in pieces.

After research about the evidence, pro and con I find the research about the question of WTC 7 provides probable cause for a criminal investigation. I have experience as an FBI witness on two criminal cases. This issue is to provide probable cause for the federal investigators. I did this and convictions were gained. The key part of my Ph.D. dissertation included evaluation of over 200 engineering science research programs done by Lawrence Livermore National Lab. I gave scores. Thus my national experiences hunting for engineering errors and my dissertation provides evidence I am skilled at finding quality or errors in research. The research by the federal agencies and commission was less than poor and demostrates they chose to cover the actual facts. Although three buildings must be included in the criminal investigation, the WTC 7 is a key starting point. Dr. Ronald Cutburth, Ph.D.

I have analyzed the many videos available for these events, and the documented evidence cannot be denied. The pulverization of the concrete, the video documented blasts, the witness accounts of the blasts, all indicate that explosives were involved.
The design of the Towers can be thought of like a rolled up screen standing on its end. Poking a spike through the screen cylinder near its top does not cause that screen to collapse.

It couldn't be more obvious this was a highly coordinated event. The catastrophic intelligence failure of all the governmental departments is suspect. A conclusion can easily be drawn that it was a partnership of corrupt politicians and their for-profit global partners that engineered a crisis. Project for a New American Century is suspect for their involvement in planning the catastrophic event that was needed for their goals.

Far too much of the official story of 9/11 violates what we know of the physical laws to be accepted. Far too many improbable events lined up for 9/11 to unfold the way it did to be a matter of chance. It was far beyond the capabilities of anyone other than those with the highest level access to information to secret information of the workings of the FAA, NORAD, and the military. Fear and pain are blinding.

The Official cause of the destruction of the North & South towers cited in the 9/11 Commission Report assumes that the U.S. Federal Government believes the American people are too stupid to see through their lies. Hence, the government failed to invest much effort in covering it up.Overall, none of the physical evidence is supported by the 9/11 Commission's Report that office furniture caused the towers and building seven collapse. The heat generated by office furniture and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt structural steel, meaning that the official report isn't worth the paper it's printed on. There will never be an impartial investigation of the 9/11 event if the government can serve as a member of that investigation.

One would need to be blind and/or mentally challenged NOT to see that it was controlled demolitions that brought down all three buildings at the WTC in 2001, and it is abundantly clear that the 'official story' is pure caca. We need, no DEMAND, an independent, scientific, and legitimate investigation of the *facts* to determine which parties were behind this atrocity.

I had an anoxic brain injury 10 years ago. Before that, I was a highly paid researcher in MANY fields--a 'Renaissance Researcher' [!] I have recovered most of my faculties, and find that as time goes on, I am remembering more & more about the fields I researched--architecture, amongst them.
My brother is an engineer---and he claims though buildings CAN fall egregiously, to have a series of builldings go down in an almost impossible manner is HIGHLY suspicious. I tend to trust his judgment....

From the beginning I have had serious doubts that 9/11 could have taken place as has been reported. From my own research there are too many important facts preceding 9/11 and on 9/11 that have been kept from the public. I find the government reports so far to actually be insulting to my own intelligence. For instance, the passports they found on the sidewalk outside the trade center and other such nonsense. I want a real investigation, not one of these insider politico hand picked hack jobs.

The buildings collapsed symmetrically which means they did not fall from side impacts. The buildings collapsed too quickly for the collapse to be due to fire. The investigations were not handled in a manner that satisfied my curiosity about the causes behind the collapse.

WTC buildings came down in their footprints with behavior of planned demolitions. Why was WTC 7 pulled when it wasn't hit by jet? This comment by Silverstein indicates a pre-prepared demolition of at least WTC Building 7, if not the other two buildings also. Numerous witnesses (Firemen, police officers, citizens, etc.) have testified that they heard repeated explosions indicating bombs planted throughout building. Testimony and evidence used in the official 9/11 investigation seems selective and incomplete and biased. The hole in Pentagon not big enough for a Boeing 757 to have hit it. In my view, numerous unanswered questions and unscientific analyzes prompt me to call for a new and unbiased investigation to get to the truth of this national tragedy.

I am the Newsletter Editor for Denton ABATE, a motorcyclists rights organization and a chapter of Texas ABATE. We lobby for safer roads and better education for drivers and motorcyclists. But the evidence I have seen about the Twin Towers collapse makes me think I am focusing on too small an issue. There are bigger things to be concerned about, like the probability that the Twin Towers were deliberately demolished. This cannot be ignored.
The morning of 9/11, I turned on the TV as the first tower fell. Not knowing anything about the jets hitting the towers, I thought that it was a local news feed about a deliberate building demolition. After reading and seeing some of the evidence, it now appears that my first instinct may have been right on the mark.
