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.

Watching the towers collapse on tv, it seemed impossible that a building could fall like that randomly. After watching loose change and the AE911 video, I know that it probably is impossible. The implications of this are huge. If they are willing to go to such great lengths to accomplish their goals, I fear the future.

When i first saw the film/television coverage i was shocked that the structures did not topple over sideways bending at the points of jetliner impact. This is counter-intuitive or antithetical that they would uniformly collapse with asymmetrical impacts. Building 7 collapse in this manner is complete nonsense because it did not have anything close to the magnitude of damage of aircraft impacts.

I have a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering which led to a career in air pollution control.
With the recent publication of the scientific article regarding the presence of nanothermite in the WTC dust, there is scientific proof that these buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. No steel frame building has ever collapsed due to an open air fire because the open air fires cannot get hot enough to affect the steel. When was the last time anyone has ever watched their metal camp fire grill experience a progressive collapse after hours of sitting by a campfire? Never. The collapse of all three WTC towers at free fall speed clearly demonstrates that there was no resistance from the massive steel and concrete - only explosives could have removed that resistance.

The way the WTC1 and WTC2 steel-towers collapsed, after burning less than 1 hour, simply cannot be explained by the oxygen starved office fires which were the result of the plane impacts. Especially after the kerosine had all burned off. The buildings disintegrated at almost free-fall speed. The part of the towers below the impact zones, which should have been completely intact and strong, did not provide any resistance in the symmetrical freefall collapse of the buildings. The limited pile of rubble remaining is not consistent with a 450 meter tall towers. The symmetrical nature and freefall speed during the collapse of WTC7 is even more puzzling as no plane ever hit that building.

Nowhere in academia or in practice is there evidence to support the NIST's assertion of a new phenomenon. This is a discredit to the entire Institute. Cover-up of truth, is however, not new at all, although it is enjoying an apparent resurgence in popularity. Why can't we get a serious and independent (non-government) investigation of this phenomenon?

Though this issue has been portrayed as part of a liberal agenda, it is not to be so easily cast aside. We signing this petition are patriots of every stripe. We are accusing no one. All we ask for is a legitimate, thorough, unbiased and scientific investigation into this matter. If we as citizens cease to concern ourselves with the nature and the action of our government, we fail that government, and it in turn fails us.

It is doubtful that buildings which are built to withstand great amounts of stress fell solely because of airplanes. Who caused the towers to fall? That is really uncertain. What is certain is the fact that there are too many pieces of the puzzle that were excluded from the official story that build a much different picture than what we are all led to believe. We need an investigation.

Saw WTC7 fall like a controlled demolished live on CNN on the day of 911, and waited for an explanation(I thought they had to pull it, so it wouldnt damage other buildings). It never came so I fell back to sleep. 2 year later a friend ask me to explain the speed of destruction of WTC1/2 and it all came back to me, because I already knew WTC7 had been CD'ed.

The very moment the towers came down I was suspicious. The first thing that came to mind was controlled demolition. WTC7 is just the icing on the cake. The official explanations are bogus. The research and evidence put forth by Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth call for an honest unbiased investigation.

I definitely do not believe that the excess fuels carried on the planes did not cause both towers to come down. I think Building 7 may have been the next target by flight 93 not Washington as many think. If flight 93 would come close to Washington, it would then become to obvious our military was worthless to protect it, especially since the Pentagon was hit. Flight 93 never made it, and Building 7 was pulled as it would be intended to be after Flight 93 would make it's hit, just like the towers. Maybe some criminal acts and transactions were already taking place in the towers and building 7 possibly involving our politicians, government and high corporate managers. It was a coverup for these possible criminal acts that may have been had the risk to be exposed to the public, but the evidence was evaporated by the terrorism act that took place. It's hard to trust our own government in this respect. We need a new investigation to take place

It is possible that at least some of core columns were blown down on lower floors/basement first, see Phillip Morelli/Willy Rodriguez testimony. I have been looking into this for some time, really not good that most of the evidence we would have had to figure out what actually happened that day has already been destroyed. In any criminal investigation the first thing that should be done is preservation of evidence. Sadly this investigation went in the opposite direction quite quickly. Outside of the buildings I think the biggest piece of evidence is the debris area of the Pennsylvania plane. Debris from a plane crash is very unlikely to be spread over 6 to 8 miles unless it explodes or tears apart in mid air.

It is hard enough to make a real free fall so when you see one you start wondering how did it happened... Was WTC7 a building specially designed to self-destruct ? How were Mr Silverstein able to pull it ? Shouldn't the people working inside be informed of the presence of such a mass of explosive material ? Was there such material in WTC7 ?

I remember the day when the towers collapsed and i watched it all through the tv. It was just one big shocking media circus. Out of emotion, at first it all seemed to be a hostile terrorist attack, but then quickly reasoning stepped in. Captured airplane loose for so long, in americas propably most monitored and defenced city? And then came the less visual but equally absurd stuff like the Pentagon hit and WTC-7 (which nobody apparently felt like explaining or even videotaping enough). There's no bodies, no furniture no nothing in the rubble but they found the PASSPORT of our favorite planesman? Let the hunt begin. WTC was horrible with thousands of innocents getting killed, trip to the middle east UNTHINKABLE with millions losing their lives and for what? Every country has more or less their own dirty secrets, but this is by far the most dangerous coalition there is. If we don't now unspun the disgusting web of lies, then soon enough we'll enter the cold nuclear war once more, and then there's no turning back. Game over for our planet earth and great civilizations.

It is obvious that the official story is not the truth. Science proves otherwise. We are fighting a war based on the official story. I believe this is the reason for 911 - to justify us invading the middle east. And to justify taking away our civil rights. We need to take back our country. To do this we need the truth about 911 to be presented and known by all Americans.

The collapse of the NYC WTC Twin Towers and associated buildings (I had been on the observation deck of one of the towers on two separate recreational occasions while visiting NYC) have an apparent and obvious mystery compared with other steel framed buildings that have suffered fire or other damage. I agree it is absolutely unreasonable to believe these sound structures could fall to the ground at near free fall acceleration rates, not to mention WTC7's failure which did not sustain similar and significant damage. We deserve to know the truth about what happened on 9/11/2001.

The points made by the AE911Truth website have made me question the official investigation of the 9/11 building collapses. I am not an architect or a civil engineer but I am a scientist of sorts who, in my profession, relies on evidence and not emotional statements or fallacies. In order for me to support a petition like this, I have to see some evidence first. I think the information Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth present is backed up by some very intriguing evidence that needs to be investigated further.

The WTC towers fell at free-fall speed, as though the buildings dissolved without a single iota of resistance. Everywhere on the site there are examples/evidence of melted, molten metal, which jet fuel can not burn nearly hot enough to produce. WTC7 looks exactly like a controlled demolition to me.

After looking at the evidence in as balanced view as I can manage, it seems that something is being hidden from the public. This is unacceptable due to the enormous role 9/11 plays in our current homeland security policies and how greatly it affects the way we deal with other nations.

Someone at a showing of Explosive Evidence, which I hosted, said, 'Just because explosives were used doesn't mean the Muslims didn't plant them.' This begs several questions; not only how could 'the Muslims' have done that, but why would they fly planes into buildings they'd wired to blow up? More importantly, if the government was not involved - which would require ignoring all the evidence to the contrary - why does it continue to ignore, deny and lie about evidence of the controlled demolitions of WTC 1, 2 & 7?

I am a US citizen living and working abroad for an international organization.
I am convinced that the collapses of the three towers were caused by controlled demolition. The official explanation does not explain the collapse of WTC7 which was not hit by an airplane. The two towers which were hit by airplanes fell at free-fall speeds into their own footprints. Such free-fall into a building's own footprint is only possible when the supporting structures are entirely shattered, which can only occur with explosives. This was a great crime against property and people which was magnified further when it was used as the excuse for undertaking two wars against other nations and demonizing an entire race of people. We must get to the bottom of this and make known to the world what really happened, who the true perpetrators of this crime really were, and bring these people before the law to be charged and punished for their crimes. Only then might our nation someday be forgiven for the atrocities which we perpetrated on the world in the name of 9/11.

I believe that any person of normal intelligence can see the video of the collapses of the three buildings and understand that it could not have been the accidental result of fire or impact. Since most of the people who died on 9/11 were killed by the collapse rather than the initial airliner strikes, it is essential that we know why the collapse happened.

From day one, I thought the official story did not add-up. They must have had advanced warning -- we have satellites! Nothing made sense. I didn't believe that people were jumping from the buildings. When I saw David Ray Griffin at Madison, WI on CSPAN in 2005 and read his two books, my eyes were opened. Then, someone gave me a Steven Jones' 9/11 Revisited: Scientific and Ethical Questions (2006) DVD. It made sense to me. My then 84 year old mother didn't want to watch this DVD presentation. But, when she started to hear it played from another room, she came in to watch it, sat down and her jaw dropped as she continued to watch the entire DVD. I think Richard Gage's two hour DVD presentation is a masterpiece and I would like to see it on POV on PBS. I think David Chandler's 5+ min. presentation that just repeats the exploding tower over and over again is very effective showing the pulverized concrete, etc. and steel beams being ejected sideways at the very top and I would like to see that as a PBS short. When I saw the flung steel beams embedded in buildings across the street it really gave me pause. I've sent these DVD's to my local PBS stations. It seems that when people see something on TV, they give it more weight. While taking an education course, I learned that most people need to have an intial exposure to a new concept to lay the groundwork and a subsequent exposure for the concept to take root, i.e., a new concept needs time to sink-in and repetition to understand; people need an initial exposure, followed by repetition before they are willing to accept a new concept -- such as what really happened on 9/11 -- because the truth is horrible to believe.

I am a business to business sales person who lives in New York City, and have a B.S. degree from the State University of New York, and an M.S. degree from Polytechnic University at NYU.
I live in New York City, and was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. The evidence as it has been presented to me by the government, does not add up in my opinion. I would like more answers from the government as to how a building could collapse in free fall despite not being hit by an airplane.
