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.

Diesel mechanic by trade, seventeen years in the industry, specializing in all aspects of heavy truck/machinery repair and maintenance. Welding, cutting, and fabrication (steel and aluminum) are a big part of my trade. Through the years I have also worked for a few welding companies, and I have done both construction, and demolition. Some of my hobbies include astronomy, electronics, automation, exploration, and researching just about everything that tickles my fancy.
I was a volunteer working at Ground Zero with a mobile welding company. We were one of the first non-union welding companies on site. I remember as we rolled up, the dust in the air was still very thick, and covered everything in the area making it hard to focus. As my eyes adjusted, and I got my first good look at the pile that was once 2 World Trade Center, I was in disbelief! How could such enormous buildings have made such a small piles? Then I noticed many of the surrounding buildings didn't suffer any significant damage, and the streets and walkways were clear of large debris. All the columns seemed to be so neatly stacked, and the rubble so concentrated in such small areas, it seemed there had been a cleanup effort going on for days before we got there! And this was just about twelve hours after they came down! Impossible I thought. This cant be right! I turned to my friend and said These buildings couldn't have come down any cleaner if it was a planned demolition! He agreed! We didn't give it much more thought at the time because we had one hell of a job ahead of us. After returning home I really started to think about the whole situation. Nothing made sense about it! So I started doing my own research. I've seen every theory from alien technology to nanothermite paint. The only thing I can say for certain is that the reasons we were given for the collapse of those buildings are a lie! I still live with nightmares from my experiences on the pile. And every time I see it played over on the news I can still smell it and taste it in my throat. Hopefully the nightmares will be the only thing that plagues me and I don't develop cancer as well. Either way I will pay my dues for my good deed, I just want to know the truth! As do many other people around the world who don't live with their heads up their asses! I think We The People deserve it!!

With what I know about structural analysis and materials, the explanations of the destruction of the towers and building 7 seem suspect. I have watched many documentaries on the subject and I am convinced the explanation given is not entirely correct. It seems that NIST did not investigate thoroughly.

Basics of physics and engineering evidence many inconsistencies in the official version of the causes that triggered the building collapses. I firmly believe that both Twin Towers and Building 7 were demolished in a controlled manner. The evidences point strongly in the direction of the use of explosive charges placed on key structural elements. The explosives were used as a second way to bring the Twin Towers down once the plane impacts were not enough. As per Building 7, it happened to be a good day to get rid of it as attention would be drawn into the main two buildings and the also alleged plane crash in the Pentagon. It is of utmost importance to find out who is behind the attacks as they must not remain unresolved. The (official) mainstream media has led public opinion not to question the facts by taking for granted the conclusions espoused by the US government within a few days of the events and repeating them over and over again.Fortunately there is enough information easily available on the internet for everyone to reach their own conclusions.

Any scientific investigation should take into account any 'new' evidence uncovered after any initial report/conclusions. I would highly recommend (demand) that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reassess the additional 'new' evidence (bone fragments, microscopic spheres etc.) and share their new conclusions. I would also highly recommend (demand) that the new re-investigation include independent professional engineers/architects.

My husband and I were hiking the south rim of the grand canyon on Sept. 11th, 2001. I told him then, as I have many times since, that from my view, there's something not right with the math and science aspects of what I saw happen as showed by the media. I have always maintained that opinion, along with some other opinions about why and how 9/11 happened. None of my opinions were ever brought to light in the mainstream news. I continued searching for answers and found this site while searching. I'm glad I did.

Steel frame towers cannot naturally behave as exhibited at WTC. They can't fall at near free-fall,; they can't right themselves after listing more than 5 degrees (why is there no talk about the conservation of momentum?). the core columns cannot shear as evidenced in the rubble pile. In the entire history of human building, only three steel-frame buildings fell into their own footprints after relatively minor fires. They all fell in the same complex, on the same day. What are the odds?

I have a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

I was watching good morning America with my mother that morning and witnessed the first plane hit the first Tower and I was so intrigued that I followed it for years to come. I continued to see the inconsistencies and then the commission report with all of its unanswered questions and just the sudden onset of amnesia. I have seen several planned demolitions in my life and common sense has always told me that an implosion and the buildings falling on themselves were just not right and really opened my eyes to the bigger picture

A-levels and bank clerk, currently running my own business as financial consultant. Born in 1995, I was at the age of 6 when 9/11 happened. I remember everything from that day. I was a kid but nevertheless I was shocked when I saw those dramatic scenes live on TV. I remember also that I found myself crying on my bed later that day. My parents were battered by my condolence. And there are still some drawings in our basement I portrayed the Towers and the airplanes, the fires and the people jumping out of the windows and falling to the ground. Today it still seems to be so unreal, unbelievable and traumatic to me. I am really struck with these happenings for a lifetime and I want to support any movement that is demanding the truth on scientific investigations.
Anyone who disengages for a moment from the official reports by NIST, politicians and the official journalism, has only to ask his common sense for the obvious. My common sense tells me that there is no possibility of WTC collapsing only caused by the airplane hits and the fires the way it did.

The World Trade Center was attacked when I was only 11 years old, but even then, as a young child, I had trouble believing what the official report had to say. This was primarily related to the overwhelming disparity between the findings of the commission and the documented experiences of first responders and employees who were in the building the day of. I believe the country's people, and more importantly, the families of the 9/11 victims, deserve a more objective and thorough investigation.

I am very doubtful about the information we received about 9/11 via news. The airplanes alone could not have caused the fall of the towers and also building #7. The only way this could have possibly occurred is through demolition. I encourage all to watch the ae911 truth film so that they will know as I do the truth about what actually happened on this day.

Im Scott, Im based in the UK, and I watched the events of 911 unfold on my TV here. I totally beliveved everything we were told until I dug a little deeper, and now I believe there may have been some conspiracy, and that those structures should not have failed as they were designed to withstand that impact. Im a 29 year old engineering student, and while I do not know as much as most people on this petition, I do know that those skyscrapers should not have fell, and I know that building 7 certainly should not have collapsed in on itself. I want the truth.
Im simply concerned about the events of 911. I bought into the whole terrorism things until I dug a bit deeper. I was concerned about how the buildings fell on the day, but believed all the information given out by sources in the USA. I now truly believe there is a lot more to this than the world has been told. Its time for the truth to come out.

I have been skeptical since the events first happened. I am 45 and a union carpenter, which helps me know that planes hitting a building that was built like the World Trade Center would not collapse. I have returned to Purdue to pursue an Engineering degree.
In my Short Bio are statements pertaining to 9/11. I am also aware that a UL Engineer who worked on the structural specs of the steel for the Twin Towers was fired for his editorial comments in the days following the tragic event. He maintained at the time that even if any exterior columns had been sheared that the interior columns were so overbuilt that a collapse was impossible. Even in a fire the temperature would not reach the melting point.
