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.

Author of THE 9/11 CRUSADE - A FACT BASED NOVEL. Researched the ongoing debate concerning obvious problems with conclusions of the Report of the 9/11 Commission. Realizing the vast majority of Americans were ignorant of the debate, I wrote the novel in hopes that through dialogue between the characters, problems with the official explanation could be analyzed and summarized in an easily understood presentation. The 7 pages of reference notes at the end of novel are duplicated on the website with direct links to referenced websites.
FROM THE NOVEL: Sid was incredulous. 'Marty, how do they explain that the massive inner columns just disappeared. I mean, come on, if the trusses and girders had failed, allowing the floors to fall, those central column beams would have been left standing. You'd have these skeletal remains still standing. I can't believe anyone would believe this story. 'Are they giving the same reason for both towers collapsing? I mean come on. The first tower hit might, and I don't really believe it, but might be able to collapse this way. But the second tower hit, the first to fall, probably had little damage to the central core. Hell most of the fuel from that aircraft seemed to fly out the side of the building based upon that incredible fireball. The second plane only caught the corner of the outer wall. I doubt there was any real damage done to most of the core. Certainly not enough to, in any way, conform to that story of pancaking floors.' Marty agreed, 'Exactly. Now you understand the problem.'

Some of the evidence of federal government complicity in the attacks includes the collapse of WTC-7, reports of molten steel in the basements of WTC-1&2, reports of explosions in the basements of WTC-1&2, prevention of a proper investigation of discrepancies in the government explanations, and the reasons given for non-intervention in the attacks by USAF interceptors.

As a 9/11 first responder who still has my FBI issued identification card from 9/11, and as someone who had previously been trained in demolition and aircraft incident Investigation, I have far too many questions about the events of that day.
As an American veteran, as a war veteran, as someone trained in M.I.J.I., COMSEC, Air to Ground Distress communications, and military strategy, I recognize a false flag attack on my nation when I see one! America owes a debt to those who survived and those whom did not survive. That debt was purchased through blood and can only be repaid through TRUTH!
For those of us that feel the guilt of surviving that fateful day, for those of us whom lost loved ones that day, for those of us that have relived that day for nearly two decades, it is time for answers, time for truth, time for healing!

Not only are the twin tower collapses in question, but the plane crash into the Pentagon needs further review. It seems unrealistic that more debris was not found on the site. Same goes for the PA plane crash in the middle of a field. Further investigation is needed in all 4 plane crashes. It smells like a cover up.

I was on the phone with the director of Worldcom who was in the 2nd tower on 9-11-2001. He told me our government did this and there were explosions going off. He was too far up in the tower to have ever made it down and after he noticed the elevators were not working and the power was out, he remained in his office. They did it to control world trade and push to their agenda which has been a 60 year plan.

In my experience with structural tests and analysis of strength capability I have never seen a structure just disintegrate or fail in an ordered sequence all of its structural members, joints, and fasteners from any type of thermal or mechanical load. This is exactly what happens, however, during building demolition events.Furthermore, the personal or professional accountability to understand the destruction of 3 towers on 9/11 requires more than just reading newspapers. It also requires the personal honesty to accept and acknowledge the discrepancy between the government statements and engineering data for steel, temperature, and history.

My name is Daniel Loo and I am an art student at the University of Advancing Technology in tempe Arizona. I have studied the events of 911 for almost a year. I have read the governments official story and caught them lying several times along with making conclusions without peer review. These types of lies and several unlikely events in a single day (that they admit to being unlikely) has led be to believe that the government may have been covering up the events. Further research has made me doubt he government and the NIST's official story.
No building in history has ever collapsed from fire before let alone three The NIST admits to that. Including Midrid's Windsor tower which burnt for an entire day. The NIST lied about a 727 fuel load capacity in their latest report. Sheer studs are even removed from the model of WTC7 The 911 commission doesn't even mention WTC7 consider that building 7 was not hit by a plane Even if fires could melt a steel building, the NIST admits to all three collapsing at freefall speed. Core columns were built to support the weight. Yet freefall happened anyways from the building's own momentum alone. In order to fall at gravity's rate, there must be little or no resistance. All the supports would of had to have been removed. The NIST's model of World Trade Center 7 appears nothing like the original collapse. The building collapses at the weakest point of the structure first. More on why that is in a minute. Building collapses always start at the weakest point in a structure. If all the supports were removed, they would of had to have been removed simultaneously. NIST's latest report does not explain the symmetrical collapse of not only building 7, but buildings 1 and 2 as well. Building 2's south tower had massive structural damage on the southeast side. The top part of the tower leans toward that side but column failure all of a sudden occurred on the northwest side. One which the NIST has yet to explain. Squibs can be seen all over the buildings. De-bunkers will say that it's building up from the collapse. If that's true, why do they appear in the lower parts of the buildings. Weeks after 911, molten pools of steel were discovered. NIST's latest report does not even mention these. The south tower's collapse is almost exactly an hour after impact. Meanwhile the north tower collapse is almost an hour and a half after collapse. odd time frames if you ask me. In the aftermath images of firefighters, perfect diagonal slices were seen in the steel columns in the background. And who could forget that all the steel was shipped aware before the investigation. All the evidence for an investigation was not present. A small amount of steel found near someone's apartment was discovered to contain thermite.

During 9/11/01, I was away on business in France, working with a partner company there. Not knowing French (I was escorted around work with translators), I could only understand the photographic TV accounts in my hotel room for the days that followed. Having previously seen many times the free fall nature of purposely demolished buildings, I instantly surmised that the terrorists had somehow accessed the buildings and planted charges to ensure that they would fall. What didn't make sense to me was, if the terrorists had gone to that kind of trouble to plant demolition charges in the building, why would they even bother flying a plane into the buildings? When I finally got back to the US, I was amazed that there was no talk or investigation of this possible cause of the buildings' collapse.

Trade center buildings # 1,2 & 7 all came down at free-fall speed, this is only possible with a controlled demolition. Why are these the 1st, 2nd & 3rd steel frame buildings to collapse from fire and/or airplane impact in the history of mankind? Please answer these questions.

I have experience operating a 180 ton electric arc furnace melting steel and for the past 10 years working at an oil refinery. So I know what the temperature of steel must be to melt and the temperature at which fuel burns.
It's my opinion that right after those planes hit each tower the jet fuel burnt off (large ball of fire). It's impossible for jet fuel when burning to reach the temperature needed to melt steel. Why was their molten metal days and weeks after this event ? Buildings only free fall into their self's under CONTROLLED conditions. We can go to the bottom of the ocean and find the black boxes and piece a plane together, but they couldn't find one black box from the 9/11 event (PLEASE). What about building #7 no plane hit it...

I have viewed every video, photograph etc I could access; many of them several times. I cannot believe that airplane crashes and open fires resulted in the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7. My reasoning is based on the undeniable appearance of any number of squibs, the vertical collapses, the pulverization of structure and building contents, impossible to achieve via structural failure, the speed of the collapse, the production of and weeks-long persistence of molten steel impossible to produce in an open burn, the inexplicable failure of the core columns and of the welded and bolted two way floor trusses,The failure of the steel frame core trusses. the total failure of fire protection (My partner in MMG was Ret. Navy Commander William Scott, PE, former president of national Asbestos Association, I believe until 1989 or 90) the pyroclastic discharge, the photos of heat-cut stubs of massive columns with molten metal running down them, some steel members perfectly distorted into semi-circles, the multi ton steel beams and column pieces stuck into nearby buildings, performance of the tower in the 1975 fire, the statements of any number of highly credible engineers and physicists, the statements of credible eye witnesses including many public safety personnel, the rush to remove evidence, the lack of any real investigation, the 911 commission report... i believe that any one of these things would indicate a need for unbiased investigation to ascertain the truth of the matter. I don't know the truth of the matter, but I strongly support an in depth investigation. Thank you.

Most of my professional work has been in commercial and residential renovation. I am also licensed as a general contractor and not only design, but also build.
All three buildings collapsed in their own footprints, which is a highly unlikely event unless as a result of controlled demolition. The building's architect has stated that the structures were designed for airplane strikes. If one were to believe that the weight of the airplanes were responsible for the collapse, then they should come up with a scenario why the third, 42 story building also collapsed in it's own footprint without being struck by an airplane...and also why the old post office building across the street did not fall from the supposed ground shaking. Also, if one supposes the collapse was due to the airplane weight and complicity of the fire created by airplane fuel burning...do they really think it's possible to melt steel instantaneously at gravitational freefall rate? (Even if airplane fuel could burn hot enough to melt steel in the first place).

I knew this was an inside job as of Sept 14, 2001 by something Ari Fleisher, then White House Press Secretary, said in a press conference that day. He inferred that the plane that was brought down in Penn by those heroic passengers was indeed headed for the White House. I guess that his statement is possible, yet, unprovable. The problem is the confidence in the delivery of his statement, like he knew the plane was going to, or should have, crashed in the White House. That was the instant I started looking for the truth. I admire your courage in your Truth movement and I support it because I truly believe your scientific analysis to be correct and logical. The official story IS the conspiracy. Not to point the finger, but with very minimal research, anyone can deduce who is really responsible for this incident, in fact, I believe most people know the truth but will not pursue it in fear of personal reprisals. The evidence is overwhelming and it would be illogical to assume the official story to be true. All the evidence in the world will not change the official story though, because the officials who publish said explanation have very good reasons not to. This is why I think your request for another independent inquest to be futile, the powers that be don't care what you think...as long as they can control the masses, and they do. When your latest press conference went live on the internet, there were a little over 200 viewers...this will never get the word out...you have to do better at promoting your views if you're going to make any kind of impact. More people care about the sexual exploits of Tiger Woods and Paris Hilton, by a factor or ratio of a million for every 911 truther. If you want to get the truth out, you can't resort to conventional media, they have been silenced. Your best hope for getting the truth out is the use of unconventional marketing strategies like guerilla marketing (Golden Palace online casino's use of streakers) and other strategies. Word-of-mouth is also the best and most effective way to convince someone to trust your perspective, you need to have more public hearings, town halls, demonstrations, etc. But before you do ANY of that, you should consider why this is all happening. Ask yourself, why now? What did they achieve on 911? If you still can't connect the dots, I recommend you study the significance of Dr. Marion King Hubbert's Peak Oil Theory and relate this with Noam Chomsky's latest book titled Hegemony of Survival : America's Quest for Global Dominance. Hubbert and Chomsky portray the reason for 911's occurance..they also foretell the impending crisis that will ensue...in my honest opinion, 9/11 is a joke compared to what's coming. No disrespect to the victims, but many, many more will die to protect the American way of life..what your politicians were elected to do.

I have been performing commissioning services for the mechanical systems of large buildings for a little over a year. I received my B.S in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland this past Winter where my focus was on energy production.
The amount of energy nessasary to remove the mass of concrete/steal below the points of impact of buildings #1 and #2 (as proven by the free fall acceleration shown in any video), and to cause the complete symmetrical disintegration of building #7, is simply an order of magnitude away from the available force of gravity alone. Also, because the direction of the force of gravity is directed downward toward the mass of the structure below it, it would not be possible for any of the 3 buildings to fall without resistance (which would be shown in videos as a rate of acceleration far less than that of gravity). Large pieces of debris were expelled football field lengths away (an outward force would be required). The fires are irrelevant because they are an asymmetrical force on the structures while videos clearly show a symmetrical collapse. There is also physical evidence of both the byproducts of explosives, and non-detonated explosives, found in the debris. The material found possess, in a large enough quantities, the amount of energy needed to cause buildings to collapse at the same speed as that of mass which has no resistance between itself and the earth. Numerous eye witness accounts report secondary explosives. It is simply, without a doubt, impossible that gravity alone caused the destruction witnessed and there is evidence to support an alternative view. A new investigation is needed to include the repeatable and proven physical laws that we have come to accept as truth.

I have been a licensed building contractor for over twenty years. I have seen what fire can do to a structure and I have seen controlled demolition.
There is nothing consistent in these building collapses with a collapse from fire that I have seen. They are however exactly consistent with a building demolition. Even before all the controversy I did not believe that planes brought down these buildings. Instinct alone tells me that. Of course in the case of building 7 we know it was not hit buy a plane and the fires were small. The mountain of evidence available today only confirms what many people already knew. Building fires do not burn uniformly enough to cause that exact of a collapse. In the case of building 7 we know the fires weren't even close to uniform and not nearly hot enough. Its an insult to even people of average intelligence and no training to try and claim these building collapses where the result of fire.

I come from a long family lineage of fire fighters and rescue workers. Quietly spoken conversations among fire fighters speak of explosions taking place that were very distant from the impact zones. Those workers refrain from speaking about these incidents publicly for personal and family safety reasons. The gut feeling among some of the rescue workers were that they were walking into sure death. Their job was their duty and would not/could not disobey orders to march forward.

Ask any demolition company, the hardest thing in the world to accomplish is to make a building fall down within its own footprint. Towers topple! Even buildings like building 7 do not simply fall inward, they spill out on one side or one corner. Building 7 is a perfect example of a controlled implosion! Watch footage of demolitions gone wrong, there are some buildings about that size the ended up rolling like a block and ending up on their own roof (and down the street). And the towers themselves, were in free fall. These building should have toppled near and towards the impact areas, especially the second plane that hit the corner of the tower. If you do believe that the towers pancaked, where are the 23 structural columns in each tower? When floors like this pancake, say in parking structure, the columns remain standing. Since not all the columns were damaged, some should have been left standing--all 110 stories! These columns were very strong, after all they did support the entire structure, and even if they had been knocked down in the destruction, they too would have toppled (not pulverized) and fallen into other buildings or down the streets for blocks away from ground zero. Americans are accustom to watching controlled demolitions on the television, this is exactly what we all saw.

I am not an architect or engineer. I have been a Project Controller in the Building and Development Industry for over 20 years. In my professional opinion would be impossible for the planes which I believe were remotely controlled from building #7 to have the ability to bring down the twin towers on 911 because of burning jet fuel on the uppermost floors. This would only be the result of a carefully implemented controlled demolition. It is also my professional opinion that it was not a passenger plane that hit the pentagon but likely a drone which was remotely controlled. The size of the hole in the building was nowhere near the size of a hole that would have been left by a passenger plane. Impossible.

I have been involved in engineering and construction for 38 years. I had worked for the Defense Department for 8 years and held two secret clearances, and I had worked on the space program for four years. I come from a military/law enforcement family background, and I have always questioned the cover-ups involving the assassinations of the 1960's. I teach at the college level now. I went down the the pile to try and find a policeman friend who perished in the collapse of the south tower. We never found him. I also went to five firefighter funerals. In total, I lost 7 friends in the towers - 6 NYFD and one NYPD.
With my Defense Department background, I kept wondering where our fighter jet response was that morning of September the 11th. I also immediately suspected that there was something amiss due to the speed and the manner in which the two towers collapsed. As I watched them fall, my mind said: Does not compute... Furthermore, when the Pentagon got hit, it did not make sense to me due to it being the most heavily fortified building on earth. When Building 7 collapsed, I was then finally convinced that there was definitely subversion occurring...

I lived in Niantic, CT, from 1971 to 1997, then moved to Denver, CO. In CT I started full-time copy editing at the Bureau of Business Practice, a publishing company. As soon as I moved to Denver I began free-lance proofreading books in international politics, history, and social issues, as well as trail guides and novels. When I retired in late 2008, I had proofread a total of 250 books. I have traveled throughout the West, photographing nature, especially in the national parks.
From first exposure to the 9/11 Truth movement's explanations about the collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7 (in DVDs, books, and public presentations), all of them solidly based on physics, chemistry, and clear logic, I immediately accepted them as the true version of what happened on 9/11. The scientific evidence is compelling and clear that the U.S. government's official story, embodied in the 9/11 Commission's Report and NIST's reports, is largely false. A new, independent, full 9/11 investigation must be conducted, asap, to reveal the truth of what happened, and the perpetrators of 9/11's horrors must be prosecuted and punished.

Have been designing building structures for 35 years both in the UK and the Middle East with local UK based consultancies and with a large project management company in Saudi Arabia. For the last 14 years, I have owned and run a structural design consultancy in Edinburgh, UK specializing in steel framed, masonry and timber building designs.
From the outset, watching the collapses on television, it was clear there were very serious questions to be asked about how three robust steel framed buildings collapsed into their own footprints, one of which had not been struck by an aircraft and had been subject to a relatively minor fire. Given the evidence from multiple witnesses regarding explosions in the buildings before and after the planes struck, the stand-down of the US air force, the admission by the owner of the buildings of the decision to demolish Building 7, the immediate removal of structural evidence, the high temperature fires in the basements, the evidence for explosive residues in dust and obvious unwillingness of US authorities to offer a reasoned and full engineering explanation for the collapses. Since 911, the two relevant UK engineering institutions have failed to provide an analysis or to offer advice to structural engineers on progressive collapse and fire protection in steel framed buildings in complete contrast to previous serious building collapses. In my opinion, the official report on the collapses, or any other that I am aware of was entirely inadequate and should be reopened to fully investigate the reasons for these building failures and offer advice and guidance on limiting risk in future, and existing, structures.

Chemical engineer that knows enough about heat transfer and gravity to form his own opinion AND convince anybody of it that's willing to listen.
I know some first responders personally, the things they've described seeing with their own eyes aren't possible with jet fuel being the only heat source. You would have as much success melting steel with ice cubes as you would with jet fuel. Then it becomes a question of who do you trust, the first responders who gave and continue to give their lives, or the CIA etc.

Buildings with fires on one side don't fall completely in on themselves. The twin towers would have fallen to the side like when you chop a tree near the top. You yell, Timber!. The tree does not fall down through itself. As for the building THAT WASN'T EVEN HIT BY A PLANE: WTC7 - there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY a wide-scraper with small fires on one side could CRIMP IN THE MIDDLE & then freefall into it's own footprint with almost perfect symmetry. The folks who carried this out obviously didn't care about being caught when they did it. I bet they got worry now! I sense their day of judgment is approaching. Keep it rockin' AE!

I find no historical or factual evidence to support the official theory of a pancake collapse due to a gas fire. Studying video footage of these towers being destroyed, I do not see a normal demolition collapse. Something totally new happened here: 200,000+ tons of steel de-molecularized and instantaneously turned into powder in mid-air. Why doesn't the steel hit the ground as in a normal demolition? Where are all the concrete and steel decking floors stacked up on the ground, as in a normal demolition? Where is the 70-story steel antenna spire and the football field of core elevator columns in the pile of debris for either tower? I challenge anyone to review the video footage while asking themselves these questions. Beyond obvious demolition techniques, what new technology is being used here? 90,000+ tons of concrete and 200,000+ tons of steel do not just disappear in midair, and float way as dust' yet that is what the video footage reveals. Matter doesn't just disintegrate. Why isn't the paper littering the streets of Manhattan burnt to a crisp?' how is it that organic matter of (paper) was not affected as the mountains of steel, concrete, office furniture, plumbing, electrical, mechanical units' all turned to dust? More questions remaining unanswered by the official story include: The non-resistance free-fall timing of the disintegrations, pictures of the diagonally molten cut base columns (used to 'walk' a building during demolition), unexplained basement explosions, the appearance of molten steel pouring out of the windows during the disintegrations, thermal evidence of molten steel in the rubble a weeks after the event, a pyroclastic cloud engulfing the island and leaving it 4inches deep in dust, the findings of an unknown substance of nano-thermite, and the collapse of Building Seven in a more traditional demolition-style freefall without significant fire or structural reason. These officially unexplained things are outside the natural laws of physics of a simple gas fire, especially for steel structures designed to withstand larger, multiple jetliner impact and structural fires. It would be interesting to follow the money-trail: were the buildings outdated, losing money, up to code, an environmental hazard costing more to fix than just tear down? Do we dare ask ourselves... Have we overlooked a profitable reason(s) for a secret demolition? To catalog the unfurling worldwide events since this day in 2001, I think a light must be held to the darkness and the question must be asked of those who have gained from this event, and what new technology coupled with nano-explosives can de-molecularize matter in mid-air? Why isn't the 70-story steel antenna spire and football field of elevator core steel columns of each tower in the piles on the ground? How has all this matter been turned to dust in midair? Literally.

There are enough questions raised about the attack of 9/11 in New York, Washington DC and the crash in Pennsylvania that have not had meaningful answers to me, to require an independent and scrupulous investigation.

A background in critical thinking and research (authored the 1st study on sexual harassment in adult schools) and the having had the responsibility to co-manage a school, including the physical plant, with 85 faculty and 7,000 students has hopefully aided in keeping me objective in investigating the tragedy of 9/11/01.
I can comprehend the truth and understand the scientific facts our highly respected architects and engineers have provided. I read a book written by a French journalist in 2002 regarding the lack of evidence supporting a real attack: his report opened my eyes. from then on, I have read and listened to every piece of information I could get my hands on. The pieces of this puzzle demand a new investigation--by these professionals.

i studied Civil Engineering and i have been in practice for seven years.
i washed the collapse of building 7 and it was same as a predetermined demolition that i have witnessed on during construction process.
