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.

Veteran US Navy - Operations Specialist 2nd Class I am familiar with how our air radar coverage works, especially in that DC - NY corridor since I was based out of Norfolk, VA. I knew as I was watching it live when they reported that the planes were off course for over an hour, that someone was lying. NORAD would have scrambled jets within 5 minutes. My suspicions were confirmed when I heard months later that NORAD said that they were running exercises in the area and that's why they couldn't respond fast enough. They said that the radar operators couldn't tell which planes were real and which were training. During military exercises like that, someone ALWAYS has the real world radar picture in front of them.
As I was I watching it happening live, I knew what they were reporting wasn't jiving with what my eyes were telling me. Buildings fall over when they collapse, what happened on 9/11 was free fall, only way for that to happen is with explosives.

In December 2005 I received a B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Missouri - Columbia. Since then, I have worked in the construction industry designing electrical systems and managing the installation of electrical systems.
The question is all about investigation techniques: Look at the facts of the WTC, specifically Tower 7, collapses: 1) Terrorists used explosives on WTC 1 in 1993. 2) Over 118 first responders reported hearing explosions before all 3 collapses, many said it sounded like the 'bang-bang-bang' you hear during a demolition. 3) We have video, photographic and audio evidence of explosions after the impact and before collapse. 4) Live news was reporting multiple explosions, and the possibility terrorists also planted explosives. 5) Barry Jennings, the Emergency Coordinator for the NY Housing Authority reported explosions in Tower 7. He also reported being knocked down by explosions prior to the collapse of the tower. 6) Molten steel AND concrete were found at Ground Zero 'remember, hydrocarbon fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel or concrete.'N.F.P.A. 921- 19.2.4 Exotic Accelerants states that molten steel and concrete could indicate the use of exotic accelerrants, specifically Thermite. 7) WTC 7 was the first concrete and steel high rise to collapse during a fire that had not been struck by an aircraft. It was determined not to be significantly damaged by the falling debris, and diesel fuel tanks DID NOT contribute significantly to the fire (according to NIST final report 2008). So, with all these indicators, would you test for exotic accelerants/explosive residue/Thermite? How could you confirm or rule out the possibility that terrorists planted explosives in addition to the aircraft hits? Why does N.I.S.T. REFUSE to this day to test for exotic accelerrants in the most heinous crime in U.S. history? With the first high rise building collapses in history, why would N.I.S.T. NOT test for accelerants? Especially, with so many indicators, one in which we have lost so many lives, so many Brothers, so many Freedoms, and our Economy. I have not found a single fire investigator who can give a reason other than they didn't want to find exotic accelerants or they were incompetent! Well, if it was incompetence, we can go back and still test. If you can't answer why, then please take the time to investigate. Browse our website, and please sign the petition. Our communities trust us. If we let them know this is not how professionals investigate, or how we treat our Brothers and Sisters who gave so much, they will listen.

In light of the fact that no steel (and concrete) structured building in history has ever completely collapsed due to fire, and observing the physics and other facts regarding the twin towers and bldg 7 collapses, one needs some factual engineering data to support the official story. The known facts and data suggest strongly that the official story is inadequate and erroneous to explain the collapses......but EXPLOSIVES do explain them.

After visiting this website and watching the documentary, along with a couple others, I am now convinced the explanations the American people were given for the tragedies and loss of life that day can not be acceptable to anyone who views the evidence as described here. As stated in my bio, I am not an engineer, but I do understand the fundamental laws of physics and can separate fact from fiction. The truth must be known.

Native to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I have lived in New Orleans since 2002. I am a writer and editor. A recent published work is The New Orleans of Lafcadio Hearn (LSU Press, 2007). I did not evacuate before Katrina. One of my sisters-in-law told me weeks later that she was praying that she would hear from me and at that moment she heard my voice on Fox News being interviewed. I was disappointed to learn that she got her news from Fox, and now horrified to learn that her oldest son joined the Air Force.
In the past month I have devoted time to look into assertions that contradict the 9/11 Commission's report. I lacked the physics and engineering expertise to doubt the explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers. I've only learned of WTC-7 a few weeks ago. It is impossible for a reasonable person who approaches with an open mind the research of these engineers and architects, as well as other investigators, without seeing that there are more monstrous truths that have been kept from the American people and the rest of the world. The real heroes in this so-called War Against Terror are these forensic investigators, many of whom have risked and even sacrificed their careers to do what we expected the government to do. It is typical of the federal government to try to get away with investigating itself. Citizens under the leadership of Levees.org are also demanding an independent investigation of the Corp of Engineers' levee failures during and after Hurricane Katrina. It is a waste of tax-payers money to conduct sham investigations, and a disservice to the country to force private citizens do the work that our government is paid to do. I ask Congress for an independent investigation into the events of September 11, 2001, including a generous allocation of funds to carry it out to completion, funds that will include reimbursement to the engineers, architects, and other professional investigators whose data has been presented to academic and citizens forums and will be presented to an independent panel with legal authority. Every day more citizens learn about the other, unofficial story, and every day those same citizens find that more convincing than the official story. It's time for Congress to listen to the real experts, and to the people. We are approaching the seventh anniversary of 9/11 and the third anniversary of Katrina. Independent investigations should be announced by Congress on or before those anniversaries, and Congress should also pass a resolution stating that future investigations into such disasters must always be independent.

I am an Economics, Political Science and Italian major at the University of Rochester but have taken a couple intro-courses in Mechanical Engineering.
After reading books like Why Buildings Stand Up, Why Buildings Fall Down and Structures one thing really stands out: the concept of over-engineering. Structures are designed to withstand many times the forces they are expected to encounter. The WTC Towers certainly were designed to withstand gravity and the impact of planes, as well as the resulting fires.

I congratulate all the professionals who have begun/signed on to this petition. Your strength of character is noted and you have established yourself as patriots. The government story is clearly not true. It does not even make an attempt to explain the evidence, most important of which is that two buildings ten times as tall as they are wide that were asymmetrically damaged in there top third floors, fell neatly in small pieces into there own footprint at free fall speed. To say nothing of Building 7, which is not mentioned in the only official inquiry, was not hit by a plane, did not sustain significant fire damage, and bore identical resemblance to a controlled demolition. The primary reason why the American public willfully refuses to examine the evidence, is that the consequences of the government story not being true are grim. Again, I congratulate you.

There is undoubtedly an American oil agenda that was fulfilled by the 9/11 attacks, that may indicate some foul play. But there are many educated members of congress as well as presidential candidates that strongly believe that we are at fault for the war. These individuals have nothing to gain financially by the US being at war; if anything, they realize the financial strain it is putting on our country, yet they strongly believe it is a fight worth fighting. This leads me to believe that there may be a legitimate threat in these overseas countries.

Steel frame buildings don't collapse through themselves into their subbasements because of fire. BBC reported WTC7 had collapsed due to fire & damage 20 minutes before it actually collapsed. How did they know this? Why don't they want you to know about WTC7 now? Why did WTC7 not get one mention in the 571 page 9/11 Commission Report? If the Psychopaths that carried this mass murder out are powerful enough to access these buildings to wire them with explosives to kill 3000 people. Then I would suggest that they are powerful enough to create & control the story they have sold. Fortunately they are not perfect in executing and covering up their evils as the evidence on this site is proof of that. Wake up People before it is too late.

Most people who I converse about this subject don't even know about WTC 7. You ask them how many high rise structures fell in NYC on 9/11 and they respond 2. This fact alone is proof of a media cover-up. People are not educated in the facts. Once they are indoctrinated with facts, their whole world view is changed.

There are images and occurrences in the footage that have not been addressed by the government that demand investigation. I don't believe that the 9/11 commission report answered any questions. The investigation should be reopened for the sake of the victims' families who have themselves become victims of the lies of the report. The government should have no involvement whatsoever to ensure that there is no conflict of interest.
