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.

My studies as an undergraduate were highly geared towards a career in structural engineering. Eventually, chose to pursue a M.Architecture, but was fortunate enough to be able to take many graduate courses on structural design in the Columbia University School of Engineering, as the core requirements for the M.Arch I were covered.
It's a hard pill to swallow. Honest, truth seeking people cannot avoid thinking of the horrendous consequences that necessarily accompany facing the facts of a controlled demolition. For years, like many, I ignored the evidence, not because it wasn't obvious. It is obvious only once you focus on the facts. It was because I, like so many millions, took the official story for granted, without question. The evidence is overwhelming for anybody who cares to face the horrible truth.

I have looked at the evidence and looked at the official story and find that the official story could not scientifically describe the collapses of three steel framed skyscrapers on 9/11. The very fact of the rapidity of the collapse in relation to conservation of energy and momentum defies all known physics. In addition the NIST report in relation to collapse initiation is faulty and opposes the known material properties of structural grade steel and the associated heat transfer processes.

When I watched the collapse of the WTC buildings, I knew there was something fishy about the whole affair. No building of that size goes down in free-fall speed, and collapses in his own foot-print. It looked to me more like a typical controlled demolition with explosive charges, remember the King Dome in Seattle. Jet Fuel is like Kerosene with a low flame point, its fire temperature is never high enough temperature to melt steel. There was a high-rise in Madrid that burnt for days without coming down.

I received a BS in Architectural Engineering from the University of Wyoming in '98 and worked as a Consulting Mechanical Engineer for 5 years after.
After reviewing the data, photos, video accounts, statements from first responders, explanation for the collapse, etc. I believe that the FEMA explanation is inaccurate and requires further investigation. The upper floors affected by the impact could have caused structural failure, but this does not explain the complete and total failure of the supporting structure of the floors below. The explanation of the fire from the impact and jet fuel causing the total and complete failure of the supporting structures is false due to the relatively low temperatures of the fires and the massive amounts of structural steel at the core of the building. The pancake theory of collapse would support the evidence of several of the lower floors at ground zero. There was no evidence of anything that resembled a floor structure, nor any concrete pieces that were bigger than the size of a fist. This is evidence that would support the use of explosives instead of a natural building collapse due to upper level failure and subsequent gravitational impact.

I cannot possibly accept the results of the official investigations of the collapse of several World Trade Center buildings on 9/11. The only credible cause of the collapse of the two towers and Building 7 is intentional demolition by preset explosive charges. This must have been done with the knowledge of some US government agency or agencies. The question is how high up the chain of command responsibility extends.

I am simply a concerned citizen that has been troubled by the evidence presented by the AE9/11Truth organization. I was only 18 years old on 9/11/2001, and now that I am old enough to look at the evidence with greater life experience under my belt, I feel compelled to help this organization in whatever small way I can. The world deserves the truth. The AE9/11Truth movement has my full support.
Like most, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on 9/11/2001. However, I was too young to comprehend the full scale of how deeply the world changed that day. My eyes are open now and this issue has my complete attention. The world deserves the truth.

I'm an 18 year old student, originally from the Netherlands, but moved to Norway about 10 years ago. I'm currently on my last year of secondary school. Last year I took a subject on basic physics and I have completed two English subjects (I am studying English Social Studies this year). When it comes to the future I am considering applying for a computer engineering study either next year or the year after that.
After looking through the information and evidence that has been put forward by AE911Truth as well as other organizations since May 2013, I have come to the conclusion that there absolutely SHOULD be a new investigation into the destruction of World Trade Center Building 1, 2 and 7.

The 3 buildings that collapsed on 9/11 were brought down due to internal structural damage that was not solely caused by the impact of the airplane. Research has found that the material used to bring down the skyscrapers was a form of thermite, a incendiary used in warfare and in welding.

Student at the UCSC school of Economics. I have an avid interest in philosophy and critical thinking. I was born in California and have always considered myself an American citizen and a citizen of the world. The events of 9/11 took place when I was eleven years old at the time and I remember the near traumatic experience of what happened that day. Those events were seared into my memory as well as the policies we carried out outside of our boarders. I simply want an independent investigation into the events that lead to the collapse of Building 7 that has so many questions surrounding it.
What happened to Building 7? Idiots do not build buildings and simple office fires don't bring steel skyscrapers. The line of reasoning that is/was presented to the American public does not seem consistent with the laws of physics and in relation to the structural integrity of a steel framed building, such as Building 7. I request an independent investigation into the cause of what made Building 7 fall down.

I am currently a student at university and have been studying the events of September 11th 2001 in great detail for some time now. As a result of this study, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the 9/11 commission report regarding the events of that day and in particular the destruction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 was falsified. This is why I commend what this organisation is trying to achieve.
There is so much evidence to discredit the 9/11 commission report. The violation of laws of physics. The outwards ejection of debris. The witness accounts of explosions. The squibs. The recovery of thermite and nanothermite from the scene.

There is no way that three buildings with 40 tons of steel frame each collapsed in a free fall caused by fires, especially since Building 7 wasn't even hit by a plane. The 'official' story is so ridiculous that only an uneducated, ignorant person would believe it.

I plan on fighting back in my own ways using digital communication.
Jet fuel caused the free fall of both the towers? and fire caused building 7 to also free fall? It's an obvious demolition operation, used to manipulate public opinion into accepting the continued wars in the middle east while domestically stripping us of our constitutional rights.

I know for a fact that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel. Also, an airplane made of aluminum and other lightweight composite materials can not physically pulverize the majority of the structure into dust. I am convinced explosives were placed on the steel supports.

Based on the compelling physical evidence (such as the building falling at free-fall speed, the squibs that occurred, the multiple accounts of people claiming to hearing an explosion before and after that planes hit, the steel beams that were cut in the manor of a controlled demolition, etc...) I am inclined to believe that the towers fell due to a controlled demolition.

The military power owned and operated by the U.S.A. has a considerable effect on the entire planet. The questionable events of 9/11, especially the collapse of Building 7, and their continued influence over the actions of the U.S.A.'s military forces is too great to not be questioned and investigated further.

The odds that three high-rise buildings would collapse in an identical, unprecedented fashion when each suffered a different form of damage are tremendously low. The NIST report on WTC 7 ignores evidence, omits testimony, and does not even consider the possibility of explosives, leading to an explanation for the collapse that is completely incompatible with what was witnessed with our own eyes. Further, the form in which WTC 1 & 2 collapsed (perfectly on their footprints) is impossible given the asymmetrical damage inflicted on the buildings. A new investigation from an independent, non-government affiliated organization should be commissioned.

Have taken many engineering classes and seen a lot of evidence and facts of the matter, no 'truth' told by the media adds up in any way shape or form. Also to many 'coincidences' such as removed bomb dogs etc., cannot be coincidences on so many accounts. Also why no plane parts were removed from the pentagon, the part that was hit, the targeted people and what they stood for in no coincidence, and the size of the hole made by the 'plane' non of which first the story that is jammed down our throats . Can you say, 'shots fired from the grassy knoll?' 3 towers falling due to 2 plans is as likely as a bullet curving, pausing in mid air and changing trajectory.

Even before my curiosity sparked regarding 9/11, I was in elementary school at the time when it happened, and I remember thinking that a plane COULD not have brought that huge building completely down. Now, as I am more informed, I believe that given all the evidence, the WTC buildings were DEFINITELY destroyed by a controlled demolition. Any one who believes otherwise, is deeply conflicted or in denial.
