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 been in the profession long enough and have worked on multiple types of facilities enough, and have studied this tragedy enough, to feel confident in saying that there was no way those buildings could have come down in that manner. The twin towers were structurally designed to withstand that exact type of situation, and building 7's demise just makes no reasonable, logical sense at all. I feel even more vindicated in my views when viewing the footage of the various collapses, knowing that is not how a structure could possibly collapse under those conditions.

Even a layman like me would know that the third building that came down was not affected by the planes and and the fires they caused at all. Why did that neighboring building collapse, and why did it come down so neatly in its own footprint? Any thinking person would expect that the original fires started by the explosions of the gas tanks of the planes that penetrated the Twin Towers would burn offices around them but would be confined to those floors. The Twin Towers were not built like flammable frame houses. I wondered how fires on the top floors of a skyscraper could cause the entire building to collapse?

I am very concerned that the government can present a story about what happened on 9-11 and everyone, including the press, just believes it because they say so, regardless of conflicting evidence or lack of supporting evidence for the official story. Something terribly bad happened on 9/11 and after. This country can not get back on the right course until the events of that day are THOROUGHLY and TRULY investigated and justice served for the 3000+ of my countrymen that died that day and those first responders who are still dying.

I've been working in the software field with 10+ years of professional experience. My interest primarily lies in economics and the corresponding policies that follow.
I was first introduced to 911 around 2005/2006 when I saw 3 documentaries, Loose Change, 911 Mysteries: Demolitions, and Fahrenheit 911. While at that point in time, I was not very convinced by some points shown in them, the one that caught my attention instantly was the towers falling. The more I watched it, the more I was convinced there was something very seriously wrong here. In the recent past, I have revisited 911, and had a look at it in a more objective manner. Here is what stands on top of my list today: 1. Eyewitness reports and video evidence have been completely ignored and kept aside. I would think, this is the first step when it comes to solving any crime. One need not look further to be convinced that something is seriously wrong with the 911 investigation and media reports!!! 2. Three buildings that are designed to withstand enormous loads, 2 of which are 110 stories tall, and had an acre sized floors, and both falling at free fall speed like there is absolutely no resistance below. Seriously? Did the building resistance decide to take an abrupt vacation and crumple down to earth? 3. The energy simply doesn't even begin to add up for the buildings to get demolished! I don't even need to get a calculator. A building with an acre floor span, 110 stories tall, is designed to take loads multiple times its actual load. The energy required to demolish such a building and so quickly, is off the charts. Anyone who has a basic understanding of real world science will tell you that the massive energy hole between what was needed and what was available means that the extra energy had to come from another source. 4. WORST CASE scenario, if something seriously had gone wrong in the buildings, I would absolutely expect the buildings to tilt and fall over. Again, this is a worst case scenario!! Falling straight down through themselves and their enormous resistance, and this at free fall speed, is not even a possibility here. No way. Not happening. 5. The buildings crushed/demolished themselves in such a way that would make it seem that buildings are brittle by nature. 6. If 911 happened the way it was told, it should be called The Amazing Coincidences Day! There were that many amazing co-incidences and all in the same day. Even if one of these amazing coincidences happened on one day alone, would be quite amazing, and we saw a spate of these happen all on the same day. Jaw dropping!!! Enormous capital is controlling most of our planet, and it has strategically made media very expensive. This has in turn coupled media tightly with enormous capital; hence, media is now the voice of capital interests. This is why media is no longer free and unbiased, and exactly why mainstream media does not cover 911.

Can not have the steel structure of the building have collapsed without offering any resistance much less fall in free fall as it did the first 8 floors. I never saw a car hit a house with 3 floors and it collapses total. imagine a plane, two in a building meant to last forever, and if it would not last and would collapse totally the way occurred. not to mention that burning of furniture and electronics do not melt steel used in the density structure of the building. I'm sad for the innocent lives.

I have watched at least a dozen documentaries that draw upon but conflict with the many mainstream news stories about what happened that day. I have read the NIST and 9/11 Commission Reports and found them to be highly implausible on their face. David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking is a comprehensive look at the events that day that raises serious questions. What AE911Truth asks is that only a sliver of the truth be discovered, a logical explanation for the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center buildings, without speculation, political bias, or secret agendas included. I support that effort because it is not only a reasonable demand that citizens of this country place upon its agent, the U.S. government, but one which is wholly fundamental to a continued free society. Evidence of thermite, free fall collapse in a demolition manner, and eye witness accounts which were excluded from evidence, must be reexamined publicly. My inquiry into this matter came as a result of being a photographer at the Pentagon that day, went inside the building and surrounding areas, and personally saw no reasonable evidence of a Boeing 757-223 having hit the Pentagon, although there was related debris. In light of the USG's historical false flag activity i.e. Gulf of Tonkin, it was reasonable to look into the possibility that Pentagon and NYC may be similarly staged events. The continued shroud of secrecy surrounding the events of 9/11, to include the non-release of dozens of surveillance videos that supposedly captured the plane hitting the Pentagon, only strengthen my position and resolve. I recommend that the official story be corrected to conform to the legally required guidelines of the Information Quality (Data) Act.

Within 20 minutes of hearing on the radio that the first plane had hit the first building and as they were describing the approach to the Pentagon, I knew that what we were witnessing was not as it seemed. The following information as it came in did not make sense either. Over days and weeks, I found that many others felt the same way. Early on I joined a 9/11 group and read as much information as I could find. In flying to LA about a week after 9/11, I chatted with a man for hours whose best friend, was an architect who had worked on the World Trade Center who had told him the story just couldn't be as officially stated. I found this website listed in a Russian publication about an hour ago. A few days before that I watched the stunning movie, '9/11 Press for Truth,' http://tinyurl.com/kq8s6f. Then the next day I read the article about the lead person on the Government Commission on 9/11, an attorney, who was the primary writer of the Report, confessed that it was mostly lies and deceit. Currently, there seems to be a real swell of new interest.

I can tell you from on hands experience, that (jet fuel) did not play (any part) in burning steel in the buildings that collapsed on 9/11. IT IS VIRTUALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!

I hope eventually to work in the so-called third world with non-governmental humanitarian agencies, specifically concerned with land rights for the lower-class rural populations that are most damaged by our cannibalistic global market economy.
The truth is out there. I believe the US Government is systematically manipulating information and events to bring about a desired, and non-public, result. I believe that all three buildings in New York City were demolished by explosives. I believe that the Pentagon was struck by a missile fired by the American military, and I believe that no plane crashed in Pennsylvania, but rather the crash site there is a complete forgery. What actually happened to those planes that supposedly crashed in Washington and Pennsylvania I can only imagine, if they existed at all. The truth is out there.

it is despicable and repugnant to believe the 9/11 Commission. Only the fact that the Solomon Brothers building (WTC 7) isn't mentioned in the report is enough to raise an eyebrow. Building 5 and 6 stood erect after heavy damage from falling debris and being engulfed in flames and yet these 3 structures come down at near free fall? The evidence of a criminal act is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt and something has to be done immediately. National Geographic should be ashamed of themselves with their mockumentary 9/11 science and conspiracy; not showing all the facts, trying to prove the official story with lame experiments and saying that people who want to know the truth are paranoid. Everyone should support this movement. The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of people who are evil, but because of the people that don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein

I have 35 years' experience in commercial and residential construction. I am presently 6 months from a degree in architecture and design. I worked high-rise construction up and down the east coast and in other areas of the country.
As soon as I saw these buildings collapse practically in their own footprints, I knew this was physically impossible. I have a thorough understanding of stress and weight distribution. I also know that all physical objects follow the path of least resistance. Even if by some fluke, the wind coming through the openings caused by the planes was acting like a bellows and the fire did get hot enough to cause deflection of the steel core columns, and the reinforced concrete core failed, (which I don't believe), they would have bent towards the path of least resistance, that is, where the exterior support columns had been taken out. The top stories would have toppled in that direction. The building would not have collapsed like an accordion. Having spent 35 years in construction, I know how structures are designed and assembled,and after 10 years I still can't come up with any conceivable concurrence of events that could have caused these buildings to fall in the manner in which they fell, except controlled demolition.

I am an undergraduate civil engineering student studying in Wales, UK. As a mature student I have also worked extensively in the building sector and also have a higher national diploma in building studies.
I think it is physically impossible for three reinforced steel framed skyscrapers to come down at almost free fall speed when hit 3/4 all the way up (give or take), the pancake affect is plain wrong as that the floors are the secondary load bearers and the massive coloumns are of course the primary load carriers, therefore how is possible for the columns to crumble in on themselves when the top sections fell onto them. Even if the floors did collapse on themselves, the coloums are by there very nature excellent in compression and the top half would have just fallen off to the side, the coloums certainly wouldnt just crumble in on themselves at free fall speed. it is just not possible.

The way that Building 7 collapses is just too precise. I am not into conspiracy theories or anything along those lines. But anyone with common sense could view this and see that widespread fires within the building could not destroy it in such a manner. It seems that this is not a conspiracy, but a question that needs to be answered.

Though credentials are appreciated, it doesn't take a physicist to know those buildings didn't just collapse. I don't think a plane's relatively small mass and thin walls would damage core columns. certainly not enough to bring down such a robust building supposedly built to withstand multiple impacts from the largest planes of its day.

Smoke rose from the floor before the plane hit the towers on that day. It needs to be looked into.
Something was off. The towers collapsed after the smoke rose from the ground up. How can one plane cause that much disaster to such a big building?

I am a 24 year old college student from West Los Angeles. I was in the 10th grade when the WTC collapsed. I remember seeing the plane hit the WTC in real time on the news, as I was getting ready for school. At school, there was a TV in the room, and we watched everything happen in real-time. People don't know what to think when a plane hits a building, except for what the people we trust say. I believe the media played a powerful role in trying to convince us that what happened was a vigilant act of terrorism. We are not that dumb; we need to become powerful. Justice must prevail. The people responsible for this mass murder need to be in prison for a long, long time.
I saw the planes hit the towers in real time. I also listened to the phone calls coming from that one plane that crashed in the forest. There was an important military man who lost his wife. There was never footage of wreckage. I thought that they showed the military man losing his wife, to show that what was happening was a genuine terrorist attack. When the military man came on TV, to discuss his wife's death, he was not sad at all. He did not even look like he cared. He looked like he was there to simply convince viewers that America was under attack. He did not look devastated, he did not look concerned. He did not look like he had lost the love of his life. He did not look like he had lost anything of value at all. Footage of the pentagon also revealed no signs of an airplane crash. There was just a big hole in the side of the pentagon.

I'm a concerned American individual who wants the 9/11 investigation re-opened because I don't believe that the truth has been revealed to the world and that something is being hidden from all of us. I just want justice to be served and for the 9/11 families and victims to be respected with the whole truth. I'm an ordinary American who is ready to contribute as much as possible towards this cause so that we will succeed in the end. I'm currently a student who has many questions about the investigation and who demands answers. Plain and simple.
When I first saw the collapses of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7 I didn't ask too many questions since I was already taken back by the shock that the world witnessed that day and I was too young to understand anyway. Over the last couple of years I've studied and examined many pieces of evidence that can be seen in photos and videos from 9/11 and I can now definitely see the effects of controlled demolition. There is no possible way that a building can collapse in nearly free-fall speed and crush through the area of greatest resistance, especially since the South Tower had over 70 (or over 63%) of its floors still standing underneath the impact zone. The North Tower had over 90 (or over 81%) of its floors underneath the impact zone. The upper floors of the North Tower and the floors of the South Tower that were impacted by the plane couldn't have had the force to crush all the floors below. The so-called pancake collapse theory means that if a pancake collapse had occurred, it would have taken longer than a minute and most of the floors should have been found at the bottom of the building or site. Also, from looking at the collapse of the South Tower it can be seen that the top portion of the tower (above the impact zone) tilted out and fell over. How was it possible for the rest of the floors to so call pancake if there was no pressure or force from above? The fact that the tower continued to fall at nearly free-fall speed, after the top portion tilted and fell over, without any of the weight from above is beyond me. In many of the videos that I've seen of the Twin Towers from 9/11 there are instances where smoke was billowing from both the base and the lower floors of the towers and the lobby itself was damaged beyond belief. During the collapse explosions and flashes can be seen occurring on the floors way below the collapse zone (almost 20 - 30 floors below). If you compare the videos of the collapses with videos of other buildings being destroyed through controlled-demolition you will find many similarities, especially with the puffs of smoke or squibs that can be seen billowing out from floors below the collapse zone as well as above the collapse zone. Just take a look at the video where the Manager of WTC Construction and Project Management Frank A. DeMartini gives his view on how he believed the Twin Towers could survive multiple jetliner impacts. The WTC Twin Towers had a structural design unlike any other building and one of the reasons they had the design that they had was because of its structural integrity , strength, and resistance against disastrous impacts. For Building 7 there are very clear videos of the collapse and you can clearly see flashes going off where there aren't even any fires present. Both Building 7 and the North Tower of the World Trade Center also seem to have their highest points sag first before any other parts of the building fall. The North Tower's antenna spire and Building 7's mechanical penthouse at the top both start to descend before the rest of the building indicating that the core columns were blown out first with the rest of the building following through. Just compare other buildings that have been burning for hours and those that have tipped over with the WTC Towers and Building 7. A very different scenario is present. The buildings were pulverized and Pyroclastic flow dust clouds formed. Fire doesn't have the force to form pulverized dust clouds that covered all of Downtown Manhattan in about 30 seconds. I've never ever seen a building fire in my life that has led to those results. Did you know that the collapse of WTC Building 7 is not even mentioned in the Official 9/11 Commission Report? Strange huh? The eyewitness accounts of explosions coming from both the Twin Towers and Building 7 were not even accounted for in the 9/11 Commission Report. We all need to ask questions and demand answers. It's been almost 10 years since that fateful day and we need to uncover the truth and nothing, but the truth.

I've been aware of the cover up that took place on 9/11/2001 for almost 6 years now. Three skyscrapers falling perfectly into their own footprints at free fall speeds is more than enough to realize what really happened that day. I tried to look at the entire event with an open mind. I tried to question logic, and it's absolutely undeniable. I truly believe that military grade explosives were found at the site and will continue to use that scientific evidence to convince others.

Based on the vast amounts of evidence that is available, I cannot believe that the 9/11 Commission Report is an accurate investigation of what happened that day. I believe that a new investigation needs to be undertaken so that the true perpetrators of this crime may be identified and made accountable for their actions.

I'm am 18 years old and a senior at Plymouth high school. Politics and government became very important to me during my junior year of high school. It had started my sixth hour class called political and economic systems taught by one of my favorite teachers. He helped me understand more in depth how the system was created and how it works. Since then i have always thought it was important as an American citizen to take part in what I believe.
I was in the third grade when the principal of Smith elementary school came over the intercom to briefly explain that there had been a terrorist attack on the world trade center. At the time i was too young to understand anything that happened. A few months ago i was referred by a friend to a documentary. I have recently watched the full version documentary called Loose Change twice. The first time i watched it was for basic understanding of what the narrator was trying to uncover to the average person who doesn't know much about the topic. Watching the documentary a second time and throughly processing all the information that the narrator provided has truly left me astonished and humble.

Why did the 9/11 Commission fail to include Tower 7 in their investigation? There are too many unanswered questions for move on.

Buildings clearly don't fall like that unless they have charges set at all the right places. I knew it in my heart from day one.

I do not have any experience as a engineer or architect. I have watched multiple documentaries and read multiple reports from people on 9/11. I believe 9/11 was an inside job.
I believe that the buildings collapsed because of controlled explosions. If the building collapsed from the fire caused by the planes (which has never happened with this type of building) which I believe it did not, ground zero would have consisted of more then dust.

I am a proud Conservative American and I want to know the 'Truth' about 9/11. I have little faith in our current government and believe they are acting on their own agenda and do not have the will of the people in mind.
I now believe that the tragic event of 9/11 was an act caused by a branch of government as an excuse to wage war on foreign nations. After reviewing information, I find it hard to believe that two planes could bring down three buildings. I do believe however, that building seven may have been the main target because it housed criminal information regarding financial corruption with large companies.

I learned electronics and other sciences whilst a child and have always had a strong technical aptitude. I enjoy using that to make experimental art.
The video I saw of a discourse given at Manitoba University, although was not new as a subject for me, created for the first time in me a crisis of conscience. It was now obvious to me, and there were intelligent, respectable people backing it up. Honest people explain their heart out, showing examples. The other side says little, calls people names, and never enlightens. Now, the big question is: how do we, the people, clean up our evil world.

I recently got interested in the 9/11 Building Collapses after watching a few documentaries on it. The evidence is overwhelming and there needs to be some sort of investigation started. The government obstructed an investigation when they shipped all of the metal from the Twin Tower collapses away from the crime scene before they could be examined. If the government has nothing to hide, then why isn't there another unbiased investigation on the collapses?

I'm a philosophy student and filmmaker that wants to get involved in the truth movement. I believe objective truth relies on empiricism, reason and the scientific method.
The evidence is truly clear. All the objective evidence in the FEMA and NIST reports was doctored or simply omitted. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's only a hypothesis that proves the official story was false. The real conspiracy is in the truth debunkers whose premises rely on non-objective evidence, and ex-post facto reasoning.

I am a firm believer in the 9/11 treason. We must probe, understand why this building fell in such a manner. We must learn if the government version is true, or we must learn what went wrong so it doesn't happen again. I am a student of marketing, and study the use of propaganda by government.
These are controlled demolitions without a doubt. It must be learned if they were, because if they were, we must stop these criminals before they do it again.

I'm only a high school student, but I am very informed about 9-11 and have been researching it for quite a while.
The towers would not have fallen at almost exactly free fall speed if there had not been explosives planted to dismember the core columns. Thermite/Thermate has been proven to be that explosive.

I am a student who is majoring in electrical engineering. I have had experience with many fields of mathematics, physics, etc. I have also studied statics and dynamics. I'm currently enrolled at the university of Akron. I have strong beliefs; that we as Americans have only an illusion of freedom, that our socio-economic system is destroying our economy and the planet as well as causing war/unrest, and that other youths of this nation need to stand up and have our voices heard if we want to make good changes to this world. We need to unite against those who perpetuate this system so as to create a world suited to promote the prosperity and progress as the human race as a whole, while also preserving and promoting a healthy planet to sustain all life.
The collapses of the WTC buildings is certainly provoking, WTC7 especially. How is it that a building that had only minor fire damage could completely collapse, and furthermore, collapse almost perfectly into its own footprint? WTC7 was a steel structured building. I was the third of its kind to collapse supposedly due to fire damage, the prior two being the two main towers. This event needs to be further investigated. I believe that an investigation into how building seven collapsed will be the first layer peeled off of this cover up, exposing the lies of this horrible event.

I'm deeply concerned that the American people are being lied to and I, among other thousands, demand to know the truth. There is too much evidence to just simply ignore it. Where did the evidence go? Why were there explosives heard? Why was there explosive residue? I demand to know the answers.

I am white male, went to school, 22 years old, loves movies, games, TV, but I am shocked that the government is so corrupt.
Normal student, was in school when this horrible disaster happened and everything stood still as this farce took place. The very first day I thought that it was demolished, brought down with an explosives and I cannot rest till the truth has been told about this disaster. The buildings were demolished. This is the most truth I have heard about this disaster to date. Now it has been 10 years, and I cannot believe that there has not been an investigation, a true truthful investigation. It's just one big cover up of a huge scapegoat. I think it is just horrible that the government did this.

Since so many parameters affect the twin towers let us not focus on that, let us begin with the surrounding buildings that somehow collapsed due to 'structural damage' and 'fires'. I find the official statement to be flawed and simply nothing more than pure comedy. The american people who know the truth are not laughing, however.
