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 have a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from the American University of Beirut and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. I am licensed since 2010 to practice civil engineering (with a detailed knowledge and experience in geotechnical and structural engineering). I have spent the first half a decade as a PE in Haiti after the Jan 2010 Earthquake that devastated the country and I have seen hundreds of structural failures of all types and due to many causes.
I have seen CCTV footage of a structure collapse at free fall speed due to earthquake induced ground floor column failure and it is very similar to the free fall experienced by the trade center. The difference is that the slabs usually remain in tact and follow the structure to the ground in a 'pancake ' ' style, not turn to dust and send the disintegrated slabs airborne. The supporting substructure must have been compromised to cause the witnessed free fall failure mechanism. The causes of that support loss must be empirically demonstrated as one possible explanation IS controlled demolition and that cause has very grave criminal consequences.

The official reports of this incident are implausible and some simple fact finding insinuates an ensuing cover up. 10,000# of jet fuel incinerates millions of cubic yards of reinforced concrete? And just like that, 3 buildings collapse 'against a path of greatest resistance.' - - It was difficult to witness, impossible to imagine and warrants greater explanation.

There is no doubt in my mind that the US government (or whoever is behind the curtain) is responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the WTC. Airplanes and fire did not collapse the three buildings that day - it was without a doubt a controlled demolition if you ask me. The amount of evidence is overwhelming and it's time to wake up and let the truth be known.

I am a 58 year old single woman who knows that there is no future for the people of America and the world unless the same people wake up to the truth and join forces to demand exposure of the truth and to stop the shadow governments of the New World Order from destroying us for their own selfish ends. My 31 year old son and I work as a team copying (with permission) informational videos to pass out to people, researching, calling into talk shows, talking with strangers. We know we are engaged in the fight of our lives. And we will not give up. We are both avid supporters of Ron Paul and in the event he is not nominated to run for president, we are encouraging everyone to write Ron Paul in on our presidential election ballot. We also are encouraging R.P. Supporters and groups to initiate some form of documentation at their respective polling places of the exit polls to counter fraudulent vote counts. In addition we are working to expose chem-trails, the global warming hoax, and the pharmaceutical industries' manipulation of the health care industry.
I initially found my proof of 9/11 being an inside job via Michael Rupert's work shortly after the events took place. The images of this disaster will never leave me. I am haunted by visions of the desperate people who jumped to their deaths and in particular, the video clip where it was not too hot for her to stand there, looking outward, waiting for help. So many could have been saved. Why couldn't the creatures who did this stop with the planes? Wasn't that bad enough? Why did they have to bring the towers down all the way? To obliterate their tracks is why, to cover up evidence of their duplicity, and to terrorize the public. But I believe that by demolishing the buildings they have in fact, foiled their own plans and this will inevitably bring their downfall because - thanks to professionals like yourselves - it has presented us with the glaring evidence that speaks to the cover-up of this most vicious and vile act.

The WTC buildings were blown up. It is quite obvious to the layman as well as the technically minded. Cognitive dissidence causes us to disbelieve our own eyes and observations, but any rational evaluation of the evidence available by video and pictures, simple mathematical calculations, eye witness accounts, and even speculation into motive and opportunity - all point to the only conclusion about 9/11. On that day the WTC was blown up with explosives. Only tricks of the mind lead away from this 'a posteriori' truth.

On 9/11/01, I was watching events unfold on TV's at work. After the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower, and there were reports that a hijacked flight was approaching d.c., I said to coworkers, they're going to shoot it down. after they had plenty of time to, and then announced a crash in Pennsylvania, I then turned and said they shot it down. What chilled me to the bone, on that day was that during the 1st press conference, not one reporter asked if they'd recovered the black box, (showing how controlled the media already was - these are professional busybodies, and not one of them asked the most obvious question?) I said, it will be found later, after they've had an opportunity to erase the pilot saying oh sh..., they're shooting at us! funny, that's about how long before they found it, despite it being a surface crash, it emits a homing beacon, and is almost indestructible. Also, I remember hearing the top guy who investigates crashes saying it was unlike any other crash he'd investigated and about why there were no large pieces of debris found, he said they tell me it's because it crashed at such high speed. I thought, wait a minute, he's supposed to be the top guy in the country investigating crashes and someone's telling him why it doesn't look like a crash? Who's telling him that and he's not saying he believes it. He just told what someone told him (the expert). I've also tried to make cell phone calls from the air. It doesn't work from those heights. I just analyzed what I knew should happen and what happened, and even on 9/11, I knew there was a massive cover-up going on, and the scale of it, with obvious media involvement, scared me.

I have been a professional computer consultant (building custom computer systems, upgrading hardware, and trouble-shooting hardware & software) for nearly 20 years.
Based on the evidence, it appears extremely unlikely that the 3 towers in NYC collapsed on 9/11 due solely to impact damage (not plane, but random debris damage to WTC7) & resulting fires. All 3 buildings fell at nearly free-fall velocity which would only be possible if there were very little structural resistance. Each building had enormous over-capacity and exceptional reserve strength. If the impact damage was the reason, then the buildings should have fallen immediately upon impact when the structural disturbance was greatest--but instead, each building recovered in seconds and continued standing for approx 1 hr (S.Tower), 2 hrs (N.Tower), & 6 hrs (WTC7). And considering there was no clear fuel-source for the fires to burn hot enough to even significantly weaken the steel, it is logical to rule out fire as the cause of sudden global collapse. There were also dozens if not scores of firefighters, police, reporters, office workers, etc who reported hearing, seeing, &/or feeling multiple explosive events throughout the buildings. In the case of the Twin Towers, there are obvious 'squibs' ejecting massive materials out of the buildings far below (even 30 or so stories down) the collapsing region, only explainable as some explosive type events such as controlled demolition. There was no pan-caking nor was there any actual 'pile-driver' taking place--the tops of each tower was essentially obliterated (along with the rest of most of the building) out & away from the center--so no 'mass' to pile-drive down against what should have been Huge resistance. Also, there would be the issue of 'conservation of momentum' (inertial resistance to acceleration) of each floor--which, barring some form of controlled demolition--would have greatly slowed each collapse if not arrested the collapses well before they dropped all the way to the ground. It takes much time to go through the evidence, but the evidence is clearly there for those willing to spend the time researching 9/11.

I am a college student who thinks outside of the box. I have always questioned the truth, and I have just begun what will eventually be and extensive amount of personal research about 9/11. This travesty must be realized by the general public.
The building did not fall by fires, this fact has indisputable scientific evidence. As far as the government conspiracy is concerned, I am not 100% certain of how much I believe at this moment. However, I can conclusively say that our government is extremely corrupt.

Buildings fell nearly at the speed of gravity into pyroclastic cloud, concrete and steel pulverized. Building 7 never struck by any plane, yet fell around 5:00 PM. As a taxpayer, my tax dollars helped pay for those buildings. Put options placed on airlines, intelligence agencies involved in funding terrorists, over 30 military exercises in progress, Bin Ladens shepherded out of country. Have not heard a reasonable explanation of any of this which was used for justification for illegal wars and pillage of US economy.

I have had a lifelong interest in science, technology and engineering since I was a young child and consider myself well versed in basic engineering principles, sufficiently to understand and relay more specialised engineering information.
I find the evidence for controlled demolition compelling, particularly because of the unique nature of the collapses if they were achieved in any other way. This is despite the incredible nature of the political hypothesis needed to explain the collapses. As Sherlock Holmes once expressed, after eliminating the impossible, what remains must be the truth.

I hope most Americans are informed enough to know that the government's account for what happened on 9/11 is a lie. The three buildings that were explosively demolished at near free-fall speeds were brought down by pre-planted explosives. The entire attack on 9/11 was an event staged by a group within the Bush administration as a pretext for pre-emptive war, transferring trillions of dollars to bankers, globalists and multinational corporations and as a pretext to assert unconstitutional authority resulting in the loss of our cherished civil libertites. If this is new to you or you are still operating under the dellusion that the government is good and protects us from terrorists and evil doers consider three points: 1) Free fall speeds of collapse: All three buildings, including the massive 47 story World Trade Center 7 that was not even hit by an airplane, exploded to the ground at virtually free fall speed. This is precisely what happens during a controlled demolition. Without explosives, it is utterly impossible for the tops of these buildings to fall through the massive resistance of the undamaged floors -- reaching the ground below as fast as an object could fall through the air. 2) Molten steel: jet fuel and office fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel. Period. Yet multiple witnesses report large pools of molten steel in the rubble of all 3 towers. These eye witnesses are supported by thermal imaging data and by analysis of dust taken from the site. These temperatures and this molten steel could only have resulted from the use of high-temperature explosives used to cut through the steel beams during the explosive demolition of these buildings. 3) Total pulverization: The towers were almost totally pulverized to fine dust. One emergency worker reported amazement that in the rubble of a 110 story office building not a single desk or chair was found and that the largest intact piece of office furniture he could find was the keypad from a telephone. The official explanation is that the collapse of the towers was a gravitional collapse -- that the buildings fell to the ground under the force of gravity after being damaged by the impacts of the planes and subsequent fires. This laughable lie flies in the face of reality. Never in history has a single concrete and steel building collapsed as a result of fire -- and there have been thousands of fires to examine including raging infernos that burned for days in high rise towers. We do know, however, what a gravitational collapse looks like ... because we have seen it many times when buildings have collapsed during earthquakes. During these collapses there was no pulverization whatsoever. Instead the buildings tend to stay together falling over on the ground. When the floors do collapse during an earthquake, they pile up on each other ... the concrete slabs cracked and broken ... but certainly NOT pulverized to dust clouds!

The buildings fell through themselves with zero resistance. The collapses violate laws of physics. If the story we are given is true, and fire truly collapsed these buildings, then why have no other high-rise buildings in the US been taken back to engineers and architects to redesign them?

I am a professional web designer and poker player. I have studied politics for the last 5 years and am about to graduate at degree level this spring term. I wrote my dissertation on the criticisms of the US government's analysis of the events of September 11th, which I will distribute freely upon request via email: josh@donkfestpoker.com
The biggest fault in the US governments analysis of events of September 11th is its combination 'fire, structure damage, gravity driven' theory which they maintain fairly explains the pulverization of all THREE WTC buildings. As many of us all have seen too many times on TV, the Twin Towers and WTC 7 collapsed through the path of most resistance. Simple science from secondary school teaches that this does not happen within the laws of nature. An easy example would be to look at rivers and why they bend at specific points and do no follow a straight forward path - obviously this is explained due to the fact that they have followed the path of least resistance as it is most simply explained. The Towers collapses are impossible given the fires and the impact of the planes. A logically feasable collapse would have resulted in ONLY the top part of the towers falling sideways and away from the rest of the building - just as with a tree when you cut it at a specific point falls when it is being cut down. A total pulverization and demolition THROUGH THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE does not make any sense due to the government fire hypothesis; indeed, the government have not given any other examples of instances where fire has caused this to happen. For the US government to actually endorse a theory which states that fire caused the total pulverization and destruction of two 110 story buildings THROUGH THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE and at near FREE FALL SPEED is very hard to understand. The NIST and FEMA reports were not science driven reports. They began with a functional hypothesis which would be politically acceptable and were tasked with fitting evidence to match that hypothesis. This can only be described as anti-science. The WTCs should be investigated by an independent panel of experts who are involved in the engineering, planning, construction and demolition of buildings and given enough resources, funding and cooperation from the government to come to SOLID SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS.

I don't know for sure 9/11 was staged but the official investigation was not handled in a way I consider scientific or complete. There is far to much missing evidence and secrets surrounding 9/11. Too many laws of physics were broken that were ignored surrounding this event. If it is accurate, two planes should not be able to level three buildings. If I were a structural engineer I'd want to know conclusively what happened so that we could ensure this never happened again but yet no one in government really cares about that part yet? I think that is more important than increased airport security checking for razorblades.

I'm a Software Engineer (company title of Release Engineer) for a company that provides courts and justice software solutions for county governments all across the U.S.
After watching Richard Gage's presentation, via google videos, I am quite convinced that the planes and subsequent fires could not have caused either of the three WTC buildings to collapse in the way that they did - with symmetry and into their own footprints. It also seems that the official reports have left out evidence and neglected to address the nature of the collapses. An independent (non-govt) investigation is certainly reasonable to look for more answers, to discover the truth, and to achieve justice.

I don't believe much of anything I have been told about 9/11 through the mass media. I don't believe much of anything the mass media tells me about anything political for that matter. There is no way those 2 planes took down those 2 buildings and don't even get me started on Building 7.

N/A, I don't think my biographical background has anything to do with the simple common sense one would need to see that there is definitely something wrong with the official story of what happened on 9/11.
This collapse of Building 7 is obviously not from fire or damage from the other towers falling. I'm baffled as to why it is now 2008 and I'm just hearing about this, and I found out from a youtube segment on the Japanese parliament discussing this. Why isn't there any media coverage or outcry of this?

I am a software engineer, but that doesn't really count as an engineer in the sense used by ae911truth.org. Thus, I don't feel qualified to speak as a professional on the issues of 9/11. However I am a concerned member of the public and I think the public in general is entitled to know what did happen on 9/11.
There are so many questions about 9/11 once you open your eyes and start digging into it. The question of why the 3 towers in New York fell is a central one to the whole of 9/11. Given the many issues that have been raised, a true and thorough objective investigation is certainly called for. I welcome the kind of hard-headed and detailed analysis that only the appropriate type of trained professionals can make.

Provided software design support for mechanical engineers in the CAE center of a major aerospace corporation earlier in my career. Worked with various finite element and thermal modeling software packages (late 1980s). Software Engineering and Technology Infrastructure Consulting since that time have been with non-mechanical high-tech environments.
Several things bothered me about the events of 9/11/01 but the epiphany finally came when I saw slow motion videos of the WTC building collapses and realized that there was no way catastrophic failure could account for the synchronized and total destruction of all 3 buildings. Logic, experience, and a small amount of research now backs up my belief in what now seems obvious. The shock and awe to me is how ignorant I was and the extent to which the deception has been perpetrated.

I have never met anyone who's looked at the plethora of evidence available and still believes the government's story. I wish very much that I could be that person -- it's far more comforting to believe the government has our backs. But having done extensive amounts of research, I agree that our government is lying to us, and that it's up to us as citizens and patriots to seek the truth and demand justice. Experience in design, marketing and writing drew me to look at the spin -- the packaging of the events -- which is used to manipulate the masses on a very subtle level. From the Press: MSNBC was using a large Attack on America logo after only one block in NY had sustained damage -- an unusually exaggerated extrapolation of this one event. This wasn't called WTC Crash nor Attack on New York. This is way out of line with previous event monikers like the Oklahoma City Bombings or the World Trade Center Bombing in 1993, and was far too soon to be designated as such by the corporate media. From the White House, I was struck by Bush's speech at 12:36pm on 9/11: Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward... Many stuck on the coward reference which does seem subjective to say the least (as opposed to the brave kamakazi pilots or our brave men and women fighting for what they believe in as opposed to some cowards fighting for what they believe in), but I was more astonished by the singular use of coward. He can't possibly believe that one person flew all of the planes, which certainly indicates a group effort of some sort. However intelligent you might believe Bush to be, the idea that he could've solved the biggest crime in our lifetime in 3 1/2 hours and traced the acts to ONE person -- and yet claim no previous knowledge or warnings -- is absolutely ludicrous. Equally disturbing was his immediate plea to not entertain outrageous conspiracy theories. What real investigation starts with a command not to consider anything other that the first hypothesis?

My belief in what happened on 9/11 boils down to a very simplistic but important viewpoint - what I saw with my own two eyes that day was not the result of aircraft impact alone, and I came to that conclusion long before the events of that day had concluded.
