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.

Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

I have reviewed several articles about the events of 9/11, including the related anthrax attacks. I have concluded that the official account of what happened is incomplete and inaccurate. I believe that the people behind the attack have never been identified and are willing and capable of performing additional attacks in the future. I long to see them brought to justice.

I had never previously viewed the videos of the building collapses with a critical eye until watching documentaries that state the elapsed time of the collapses and provide eye witness accounts of explosions within the buildings that were unrelated to the airplane impacts. Also, the open-air burn temperature of jet fuel did not provide a heat source sufficient to melt the steel structure and produce a building collapses at near free-fall speeds.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics from San Jose State University. I've been a licensed Professional Engineering in California since 1996. My area of practice is water and environmental management.
Until recently I didn't question the government/media explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers. I believe I may have heard in passing about the collapse of WTC 7, but probably dismissed it as being the result of damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers or something associated with some conspiracy theory. After taking a closer look at some of the evidence, it's clear that the official theory of gravity collapses caused by airplane impacts and fires in the three buildings on 9/11 is inconsistent with the physical laws of the universe and the properties of the materials in the three buildings and the airplanes. It's also clear that the government's investigations were inadequate.

I have researched this subject from several perspectives, and have not been satisfied with the offical theory of the 9/11 attacks. I am unsettled on several issues, the first being our government's reaction to 9/11, followed by statements made about 9/11 by our president and the news media. Then i began learning of the national security protocols being violated at the time of the incident. Now, with more disclosure of the engineering of the collapse, all things considered, there are many questions to be answered before the official account is believable
The engineering data, the government operations data, the political reactions, none of these are accountable. There is more to the story!

Past investigations of the WTC collapses were awash in the concealment and destruction of evidence, the suppression and coercion of witnesses, and the utter abandonment of all sound principles of criminal investigation ' in short, a massive obstruction of justice, certainly in the moral sense, and often in the legal sense, as well. As an American citizen, it is now obvious to me that American authorities cannot possibly conduct an unbiased investigation of this matter, because too many of them are already compromised by their own participation in this obstruction of justice. We therefore need an internationally based investigation, on the order of the Nuremberg trials, in order to find the truth and punish the culprits. Such an international investigative body must have full authority to examine all evidence, extract sworn testimony from all witnesses, issue indictments, and try, convict, and sentence the guilty. Because the events of 9/11 were used as a pretext for two international invasions and occupations, everyone worldwide ' and particularly the citizens of Afghanistan and Iraq ' also have a right to demand an unbiased international investigation of the crime and prosecution of the culprits. If such an event in another country were used as a pretext for invading the United States, we ourselves would demand nothing less.

A land surveyor often stakes offices and other large buildings and we sometimes monitor these and adjoining buildings during construction. Any observant person can see the redundancy in the building construction.
No single column failure would result in a catastrophic collapse. All three buildings fell into the path of MOST resistance, not least resistance. This is impossible without removing the resistance. This is why there has been no record of a steel framed building collapsing in the way the three Manhattan buildings collapsed. Close up views of the North Tower show the building disintegrating above the impact area and the top of the building is descending while the portion of the building below the impact is not moving, proving that a demolition is taking place. The South Tower is tilting into the path of least resistance and suddenly it collapses straight down into the path of greatest resistance. The North and South Towers were hit at greatly different heights leaving the South Tower with substantially more weight above the impact area than the North Tower, yet somehow the physics of this great (crushing) weight did not accelerate the collapse of the South Tower in any significant way over the North Tower. Building No. 7 is clearly, without a doubt, a controlled demolition. The fact that if there was not foul play then those in control of the investigations and the Justice dept would have no qualms in allowing a fully independent investigation. In fact, if they are as innocent as they claim, a fully independent investigation would exonerate them. This was about the Caspian Sea and the oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan and the uncooperative Taliban who were opposing the CentGas pipeline.

I am disappointed that NIST didn't follow the same principles in their analysis of the 9/11 events. I wish to see NIST perform a proper and thorough investigation, following their own guidelines and procedures.

I remember seeing the first video that debunked the official story. The scope of the assault terrified me and I would notice that the people I talked to instantly dismissed me as a conspiracy theorist. In one of the many documentaries I have seen, the scientist interviewed said, the problem is that we have been erroneously labelled the conspiracy theorists, but the real culprits are the conspirators who executed and covered up this assault. I truly hope that as Shakespeare said, all things come to light. Hopefully, we won't have to wait for deathbed confessions.

I recall seeing WTC7 fall on TV (just once) either on 9//11 or the day. I was stunned and in disbelief at the perfect fall. That image always stuck in my head that something was amiss. And I knew (because it was reported) that this building was not hit by an airplane. I did not hear or know that it was on fire as now reported. I just knew that many hours after the collapse of WTC 1 & 2 that this seems so implausible. Especially the speed at which it fell. Then I found more folks who held the same questions. Obviously I've heard and read about the non-official story now. It's tragic that honesty is not forthcoming from our officials. Part of that honesty would be to answer seriously the questions posed by AE911Truth and others. I even found at a used book store, 'Triggered' by David Icke - fascinating even if some of his thoughts are too far out there; his sequence of events and players are recorded in great detail and can't be refuted as they are mostly documented by the (MSM) news of the day.

The collapse of the three towers can in no experts opinion be ruled as a top down collapse. The lack of any sideways collapse of a melting steel framed building clearly indicates that the collapse was orchestrated and done with intent to collapse downward. - - Steel buildings will offer immense resistance to downward collapse, simply due to its compilation and construction. - - The collapse of building 7 also is an impossibility with a meagre office fire. - - NIST failed miserably and were most definitely coerced to compile the report that they did. - -

I saw what I saw, and agree with so many others that the destruction of the Towers and WTC 7 fails to fit the narrative of the public officials and media. This was a cover-up and no one can truly tell the public and the world why this was done, and why so many were complicit in doing this.

I apprenticed and became a carpenter in 1981. As well I apprenticed and became a locksmith in 2001. I worked all of that time until 2014 (38 years) with Parkland School Division #70 maintaining and renovating schools as well as helping construct portable classrooms. Shortly before retiring I also became a Fire Door Assembly Inspector through the Door and Hardware Institute.
In about 2008 I heard the events of Sept. 11, 2001 did not happen the way that we had been told and I started reading about and researching those events. This is without a doubt a huge deception (just one of many unfortunately) and the world needs to know the truth of what actually happened that day. Any building, steel frame or wood, 1 story or 47, or more, would never collapse (no other steel buildings have) like building 7 did from just randomly burning fires.

For years I have thought, and based on the facts presented by different news networks, that the true story about 9/11 has not been told, the American people and the families of the victims deserve the truth, a great smoke screen was presented to the world, it is time for those responsible to be brought to justice.

Education was based on the regurgitation of pointless things. Not taught to farm, fix or love my neighbor. These things were self taught.
Basic Jenga game should show people that a tower would not collapse with a hit towards the top then fall straight down on itself like the trade towers did. How were fireman lined up in the streets at the ready? Where is the video of the Pentagon getting hit???

Worked as self employed gardener. Interests: truth, environment, sustainable agriculture and gardening. I have followed A&E for 911 Truth for many years. What brought me initially was Michael Moore Fahrenheit 911.
The obvious truth about the controlled demolition of the three sky scrapers in New York on September 9, 2001, and the fact that this truth is suppressed across the world, shows that we, the many who realize this, must do our damnedest to break the world free of this Stasi fog, and work for a free, just, and sustainable world for humanity and nature. I have followed A&E for 911 Truth for many years. What brought me initially to 9/11 Truth was Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911. Another movie reappraising the 9/11 coup and the 9/11 aftermath this year released online, could push knowledge of the Wall Street/CIA control.
