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 active in spreading the truth about 9/11 for over three years. An analysis of the videos and photos of 9/11 show that explosives had to be utilized in the demolition of all three buildings. The government's story violates the laws of physics and must thus be false. I have personally been calling for a new 9/11 commission for the past two years.

After a few years of college, Frank left school to work as a software engineer, working at Microsoft and Launch Media (now Yahoo), eventually starting a small web development business. In 2004, Frank returned to school at Northern Arizona University, finishing a B.A. in Philosophy and M.S. in Chemistry, publishing papers on the synthetic chemistry of palladium sandwich complexes. Frank currently teaches general chemistry at Coconino County Community College in Flagstaff, AZ.
The evidence of explosive demolition of all three buildings on 9/11 is overwhelming. Hearing booms recorded on video from across the Hudson river was originally the most compelling piece of evidence for me. But recent revelations of the presence of nano-thermite chips in the dust samples have not only reinforced the demolition hypothesis but have also explained many mysterious aspects of the collapse, including flowing molten metal, melted cars, and the high temperature of the pile for month afterwards.

I am a licensed mechanical engineer with 20 years of experience in the areas of mechanical design and combustion.
I have spent a lot of time researching the WTC failure modes and the one conclusion I have drawn is that the official explanation fails to explain the events of 9/11. Some example questions I have are: 1) Where does the recent finding of the explosive thermite in WTC dust fit into the official explanation of the WTC collapse? 2)An open fire consisting of office debris and jet fuel will burn with a maximum temperature of ~1800F. (as a side note, on 9/11, the fire was much cooler as proven with the orange flames and black clouds of soot). It is well known that structural steel will lose ~1/2 its yield strength at 1800F. So my question is how does a structure designed to be 100 to 1000 times stronger than required fails when only 50% its strength is compromised? In other words, the structure would have had to lose over 99% of its strength to have failed when in fact worst case it lost only 50%. 4) What are the odds of all three buildings failing with the same symptoms and questions as outlined in questions 1 through 3? If someone can find answers to these questions that is supported by physics, I believe we will be heading in the direction of truly understanding what took place on 9/11.

I am retired and now have the time to review the data presented in support of an alternate conclusion. It is without a doubt that the data presented in support of a controlled demolition warrants a complete and transparent hearing. WTC 7 lacks any reasonable explanation or evidence to support a collapse at the rate of a free falling object. It is essential that the scientific community be allowed to analyze the data from the three buildings and prove conclusively that explosives were used.

I was 13 at the time when WTC collapsed and I had no reason not to believe the information media were providing me. But as I went to study architecture and started to receive the basic knowledge of building mechanics and materials, I realized that buildings like these can't be this fragile and that the official story is truly doubtful. New, proper investigation is necessary.

Upon viewing the video of the collapse of the towers and comparing that to controlled demolitions of similar structures, I speculated that the official story was not the truth. A few days ago, I listened to a podcast and was thrilled that the experts are pursuing a disclosure of the truth. Though I believe the truth is much different than the official story, none of those who perished (including two USNA 1981 classmates) can be restored to life by bringing the perpetrators to full account. Thanks!

I'm heading towards 50 and am interested in knowing what happened on 09/11/2001. I want to see justice served not only for the 3000+ people who died that morning but also for the people who have suffered since, as a result of our government's actions.
I understand a bit about harmonic resonance and how vibrations can build up to cause a building to collapse. However, that doesn't explain the massive Explosion of either of the two World Trade Center towers, nor does it seem to be something that would cause the towers to collapse as quickly as they did.

Simply put, near human intelligence is all that is required to know that an impartial investigation should be undertaken.
Sufficient scientific evidence is in truck loads. Sufficient evidence also dictates that it should be conducted by another country with citizens that have no bias or politics. I live half way around the world, not involved with American people/politics, yet it is clear that a conspiracy to hide the truth has occurred. By who, where or when, unknown, yet none the less, an impartial and unbiased investigation on the collapses and America needs to occur. Until this is done, many will live and die under justified suspicion. Bottom line, scientific evidence dictates that stories are not complete and/or fabricated.

Living in Canada with a great deal of friends in Manhattan and the boroughs, I have, like many, a spot in my heart for NYC.
I first felt that the collapses were plausible, until I saw footage of the puffs of smoke leading the building downwards during the fall. The explanation that the floors pancaking had caused air to blow the puffs outward, didn't fly, as I immediately thought wouldn't the air pressure in such a case blowout SUBSTANTIALLY MORE than a few puffs? ie; whole floors of windows? The only thing I could see as a cause, was controlled detonation. Coupled with all other evidence, like angle-cut support beams, similarities to operation Northwoods, no plane wreckage at the Pentagon or Shanksville, Pull it (WTC7), FBI confiscating all security camera footage around the Pentagon, etc, it has become painfully obvious that this had to be an inside job.

A former science major that has been following the rabbit trail. 9 11 was an inside job!
I believe the buildings were brought down by explosives after the numerous interviews that I have heard and seen, extra information not released widely to the public and following the money trail. For instance, few people know that days before the event, a power down occurred in the towers, all bomb sniffing dogs were removed. All security devices were shut down during this. This is when the explosives were installed IMO. Building 7 was clearly brought down by explosives. This was all done to put the American public into a state of fear, to distract us from the people committing the crimes right in front of our faces. It is part of the larger plot to keep the control of the goods and money in the hands of a few. The same families that are in the government, are in the security businesses, military goods producers, pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies. It makes a perfect circle, so as to ensure the money stays in the hands of the few.

I am a former high school teacher, now a library assistant in Eugene, Oregon. I am married with 3 children, and I have great concern about the nature of the official stories surrounding 9/11.
After viewing several videos and discussions of the circumstances surrounding the 3 buildings which collapsed on 09/11/2001, it has become very clear to me that the call for a thorough investigation of this matter is critical to the well-being of our democracy. I see obvious signs of a cover-up, a deliberate obfuscation of the truth regarding 9/11 by the government and major media. An event of such magnitude demands much more serious attention than has officially been given. I believe that lack of such attention puts our democracy at stake.

I do building construction for over 20 years, starting in the company of my father. I build homes of concrete, stone or wood. I build factories of concrete with steel structures. I also did electricity, plumbing, and carpeting. I also did a lot of welding, various types.
1>The massive amount of concrete and steel structure demolished to dust and little particles can't be done by burning jetfuel, because the majority already burned when it hit the building. 2> I did see people waving in the gap where the plane had crashed/exploded, so the heat wasn't enough at all. If steel columns get heated by intense and sustained fire they start to bend, and with the combination of concrete interlocking it, it CAN'T collapse to dust ! 3> The pancake effect can't cause the lower parts to crumble, it was fully intact so it should slow the fall of the upper part or even stopped it at some point. 4>WTC 7 is the confirmation of controlled demo of WTC 1 & 2... 5>Their explanation, it is against all laws of nature and physics and ethics.

Before attaining my higher degrees, I was trained at technical school in Drafting and Design. I worked many years in that field specializing in architectural and steel. I continued my education, earning the following degrees: M. Service Management, Mercer U. Macon, GA; B.A. Business/Mathematics, Mercer U. Macon, GA; A.A. Business/Mathematics, Gordon College, Barnesville, GA. In spite of this further education in business and mathematics, I remain interested in architecture and design.
I am a proponent of transparency in government and believe independent investigations are imperative to that end. The American public has been lied to many times in the past by our government. I have seen no reason to believe that behavior has changed. As many people believe that the plane attacks were not the cause of the structural failure, it would seem that a private investigation would be welcomed by the government, supposing, of course, the government's investigation was handled properly.

Overall, at first I did believe the mainstream story of what happen on that day. But after seeing all that has happened to black people with all this war on crime and drugs and the war on terror, I can say it all connects to the fact everything is not being told as to why it was done and who was really behind it. We are also not being told what long term plan they have for this country and black people in this country.

Even after the apathy displayed by society-at-large and the countless arguments and explanations, this is still something I think about nearly every day. Even if I can let myself be convinced that Towers 1 and 2 fell because of the airplanes, why did World Trade Center Building 7 collapse? There is more and more information coming out about the collapses as more people learn about the possibilities.

I was in New York City at the time of this horrible disaster. The people of NYC really bonded together in the weeks/months following.
I never heard the city so quiet. People crying, embracing, talking softly to one another. I was saddened that thousands of people in my city were killed. After watching the news i knew there was a lot more than the news displayed. Not to mention that many of the reporters commentary was altered and omitted and the information was slow after after the first couple hours. It seemed like a setup. Next thing I know we're in Iraq.

As an inventor, knowing certain materials and common sense brings up a red flag in my mind. I design and build toys to biotech lab equipment for the past 35 years.

I've been following this so lie about the planes causing this disaster for many years now. The cover up and who did it needs to be exposed and locked up forever. I have my own theory about the profit that's being made now because of this atrocity. Look at the decision makers, follow the money trail, and you will find the truth.

I am a hard working straight forward speaking American who finds it sad that the country I love and grew up in has gone to shit so quickly. I find it sad that the land of the free and home of the brave has more people locked up that the rest of the world combined and that soldiers that fought for the politicians crooked agenda are now sleeping on the streets.
I think its highly suspicious that 3 buildings fell that day when in the history of steel structures none have ever fell due to fire prior to 911. If you look at how all the buildings fell, they fall down just like in a controlled demolition, straight down, away from other buildings in their own footprint. I think that 911 was the event they needed to institute their policies of global takeover. I also find it suspicious how the steel was quickly shipped over seas before it could be inspected as it was a crime scene.
