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.

When I first saw the planes hitting the building I was a engineering student I believed and the media made the whole world believe that it had collapsed by burning of jet fuel.But practically the whole story of collapse of towers by hitting a plane came to me when started investigating on behavior of steels. And this website has even more reason to find the truth. Hope it exposes the truth to the world that the 911 was an inside job.

I am a mechanical engineer with 28 years of engineering experience. I have approximately 20 years of experience in the nuclear power industry. I was involved with the development of the corrective actions department for Cooper Nuclear Station. I had extensive training in root cause investigations. I was involved in numerous investigations to determine failure mechanisms and contributing factors.
I performed a simple energy analysis that can be performed by anyone who has taken high school physics or mathematics. The calculation shows WTC 1 & 2 did not contain sufficient potential energy to cause a progressive gravitational collapse. My calculation takes the entire mass of the building and distributes it evenly on every floor. This is overly conservative since the mass per floor is greater at the bottom because of the heavier structural columns. I also did not deduct any mass for any material that fell outside of the building footprint. Only material falling within the footprint of the building could have caused damage to a lower portion of the building. The energy of material that damaged surrounding buildings was not available to damage lower portions of the WTC 1 or 2. The energy calculation was based on the building material releasing its potential energy (the only energy available for destruction) by falling all the way down to ground level. The pulverized concrete released its energy very slowly as it drifted to the ground and was not available to destroy any building structure below it. - - My calculation shows that if all of the potential energy contained within the Tower was transferred to all of the surface area of all of the Tower floors, they would only be subject to 1,200 ft-lb/sq-in. Hardly enough to pulverize all the concrete let alone destroy all the structural steel columns and supports. This is why structural steel buildings do not simply fall due to gravity alone. Additional energy had to be involved to cause the destruction that was observed. Controlled demolition is the only possible explanation. The laws of nature cannot be violated. - - The WTC 7 free fall also violates the laws of nature.

Let's get the REAL story... I've seen evidence to the contrary of what I have been spoon-fed as official from the sorry investigation that happened well after the events of 9/11 took place. We should have been able to investigate these events directly after without restrictions. Let's do what we should morally have done years ago...

I met one of the firefighters who had been on the floor hit by the second plane. He had been injured and evacuated just before the collapse. He gave me the usual pre-Obama view of the US Government: no one who was part of the government would lie to us or do anything to hurt us, etc. And I said, Yes, but tell me what you saw. He said he saw a lot of dead bodies, lying there, not in the process of being immolated. He said that on the whole floor, there were only two fires, in separate locations. Although they were obviously too big to handle with the firefighters' backpack fire extinguishers, he said that if the water lines to the two fire hoses had been working, they could have put both fires out very quickly.

I have spent 13 years as a union-trained and educated electrician, and it amazes me that 3 buildings could collapse at free-fall speed, proportional to their size, because of fire. Steel needs a blast furnace to melt down and will not break down unless enough pure oxygen and high enough temperatures are added to it. So, according to physics, these three buildings should never have come down unless there is a missing link that has not been disclosed to the public.
Not possible without the use of explosives. Look at how much powdered concrete there is. Shouldn't that be evidence enough?

Occupation: Claims Adjusting
I am a commercial claims adjuster with fifteen years experience. With that experience comes the knowledge that jet fuel burns at 800 to 1500 F depending on ventilation, Steel melts at 2750F, while steel loses some structural integrity at lower temperatures, there has been no sober explanation of why the towers fell at free fall suddenly appearing to turn to dust before out eyes.
On the day of September 11, 2001 I was at my desk at a major commercial insurance carrier in Chicago. One of the largest exposures for our carrier prior to that day was a claim for asbestos removal, as the events of the day unfolded with vulgar horror before my eyes it became clear that that claim was closed. The claim was being work by a dear friend of mine who has since had a nervous breakdown due to the horror of the facts. A new one would be opened and as it turned out it would be paid at double indemnity. As myself and my coworkers watched the building fall it struck us immediately that they were controlled demolitions. We all saw the squibs and thought surely that others had as well. We as adjusters knew that jet fuel could not burn hot enough to melt steel as it is not much different than kerosene that is burned safely in steel heaters. I cannot think of this event without feeling sick to my stomach. The events of September 11th have never been truthfully publically been explained instead we have been fed lies and half truths and anybody who dared to speak up has been marginalized as a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy nuts.

Just a old retired lady who doesn't believe everything she's told and who is a reader of non fiction and online, independent news. I only have a high school education but I have been learning all of my life, education shouldn't end after you graduate. This government has been lying to us for decades and it continues to do so.
When I first saw the clips of the collapse of the trade center building, I knew what happened just didn't make sense. They should not have collapsed just because aircraft flew into them, they fell too fast just as though their supports in the core had been taken out and building 7 wasn't hit by a plane but it also collapsed as though taken out by explosives planted in it's support beams. The hole in the Pentagon was too small and where was the aircraft's wings, tail and engines that should have been sheared off by the newly reinforced walls? This had to have government assistance to be able to plant explosives (thermite)to take out those buildings. This was a crime and this needs a independent investigation of the Bush, Cheney regime.

I don't buy it. Buildings are built to last not to be destroyed. Steel doesn't fail from fire alone. You need a direct source of extreme heat oxygen/acetylene with a cutting tip to direct the heat to a specific location that can weaken or fail.

As soon as i saw the towers collapse, i instinctively knew that two aircraft could not do the damage that i was witnessing, and that it also reminded me of watching buildings being professionally demolished. And when bldg. 7 was taken down, my suspicions were further aroused. Our government's immediate reaction & responses (i.e, flying all the relatives of the alleged mastermind's family safely back to their homes abroad, our attack on Afghanistan and Iraq, etc.) cemented my feelings. By the time i was made aware of the film Zeitgeist, i was already painfully aware of our government's compliance in what is now known as 9/11.

We must continue to educate the masses in an informed and reasonable manner. Although I have no physics or engineering degree, common sense tells me that there are glaring contradictions between the 'official' explanation and the facts presented by a number of scientists, engineers, ground zero workers - even the facts that were represented in the investigations themselves. The truth must be revealed no matter the cost or ramifications... this was the biggest crime in the history of the US and those responsible must be brought to justice.
Enough questions have been raised to warrant a new, thorough, and impartial investigation of the 9/11 events. We owe it to all the people who lost their lives on that day and in the preemptive attacks waged against countries who have done nothing to the US.

I was a firm believer in the official version of the 9/11 incident, until some weeks ago, when I followed a link provided by one of the participants in an internet-debate, following an article in a major newspaper in Norway. It linked to Loose Change. Needless to say, I was shocked after seeing it. The implications of the 9/11 events are so severe to our society that I had problems perceiving them. I still do, and to my surprise I found it hard even to talk to my friends about it, at first. After some further info-searches on the topic, I found a link leading to AE911truth.com. Now I have a basis of a few simple facts, involving physics at high-school level and a scientifically valid approach, which I know will lead many of my friends to look closer into this - and I won't be shy asking them to do so. Thanks to Richard Gage, and to the AE911truth.org, for breaking down some of the 9/11 events to simple facts, and for pointing out to people the ones which are the most evident.
