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.

Objects move through the path of least resistance. Towers 1 and 2 collapsed through the path of most resistance. Normally, you would expect the layers to fall with increasing eccentricity as the collapse progressed, rather than through the centreline where the greatest resistance is. NIST's cascade theory depends on mathematical modeling, and as with all complex models, numerous assumptions are needed to get the model to run. An independent review is needed to verify the reasonableness and plausibility of the factors included in the model which was used to support the cascade theory. We need to independently verify whether the NIST analysis was a case of shooting the arrow and then painting the bulls eye around it. Furthermore, films of the collapse of WTC7 show a very improbable event: the symmetrical collapse of a building that was impacted by the WTC 1&2 debris asymmetrically. Both ends of WTC7 should not have begun their collapse at the same moment if left to chance alone. The collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7, purely from an engineering point of view, and leaving out any political theories or implications, do not make sense without the assistance of explosives or other devices or some other as-yet unimagined factor to remove resistance and control the collapse. I very much recommend that the engineers, whose duty it is to determine the causes of collapse, remain unswayed by speculations and fears about political implications, and make their assessments based on the physics and engineering alone. The claims made by NIST seem to require multiple leaps of faith in highly improbable events. Improbable things do indeed happen, but as all good skeptics know: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Being from NYC and witnessing this event live, and after watching countless hours of video of the 3 towers implosion, the theory of a pancake global collapse caused by plane impact and office fires is not plausible. A) If there was a pancake collapse the debris site/ground zero would look totally different, resembling a crumbled but stacked set of floors. All lateral beams might be crushed but would have to be intact to keep the implosion of the building uniform. However it was difficult to find a steel member more than 10' feet long after the collapse. B) How do the 70' long interior core columns buckle and fail at free fall speed C) A single column no mater how critical, could never cause a uniform, global, free fall acceleration collapse in a skyscraper as was told to be the case in Building 7.

Besides working in a variety of architecture offices with engineers, I worked with a civil engineer contractor for years. I also have hands on construction & study of materials.
The media & government cover up of the event is obviously done to cover up & hide what really happened. The way Bush so purposefully did all possible to prevent a real investigation is more evidence of their attempts to keep people from real discovery. - - This event is so much like how they planned the Pearl Harbor attack to get us into a war or like the Gulf of Tonkin. - - The purpose also appears to have been to create a more tyrannical control over the American citizens -- to see how they rammed thru the Patriot Act & other insidious legislation has had horrific consequences to our human rights.

It is obvious from many different disciplines that the 3 sky scrapers were brought down by controlled demolition. The official story is a flat outright lie. I want to know the actual story, and who is hiding the truth. The guy who insured the 3 buildings in NY made out like a bandit. Bush and Cheney got their wars, at the expense of many US lives, not to mention the lives in the countries he attacked.

It is ludicrous that the 911 commission did not investigate the possibility of intentional demolition by use of explosives of the 3 world trade center towers. I believe the 'Patriot Act', written well in advance of 9/11/01, is the biggest destruction of American liberty. It needs to be repealed after a REAL investigation of the events of 9/11 brings out the truth of what happened on that day.

The official story was not consistent with the building collapses that were captured on video and that were reported by eyewitnesses on 9/11. I re-iterate that which has been stated by others: 'Asymmetrical damage to a building does not result in symmetrical building collapse at free-fall acceleration.'The claims of other experts that physical and chemical evidence exists, that warrants the investigation into other causes, should be truthfully and thoroughly investigated by our government.

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.

I want to know the truth on how those towers collapsed, and I want to have those responsible to appear in a courtroom, and admit what they did, to take full responsibility for killing thousands of innocent people, and why they did it, for what gain could they accomplish. I want to know if it really was terrorists who attacked us, and if not then who was it? I want to know how, why, and who caused this to happen.

I am very concerned about the physical evidence presented in this A/E for 9/11 Truth Video. I am also concerned that eyewitness statements have been edited, removed or retracted. I don't think that the professionals listed here on this website, that are presenting this evidence, would do so recklessly, putting their careers and reputations on the line, if they didn't feel strongly that the story that has been relayed to the world, is in fact full of inconsistencies.

WTC 7 was clearly controlled demolition. As for the two towers, I have looked at the floor plans available on-line, the construction photos and articles about their construction from old engineering magazines, and the videos of their collapse. The official explanation falls woefully short in fully explaining how gravity alone, after the impact and fires had done their work, could cause the top 1/6 of the North Tower, by far the lightest 1/6, to collapse and crush the remaining 5/6 of the tower into a pile of rubble only a few dozen feet high in less than 15 seconds.

In my 30's, worked as a carpenter for 10 yrs. Consulted with a lot of structural engineers about commercial projects around Vancouver lower mainland. Have a basic understanding of how structures can fail.
Ever since watching the building collapses on CNN live, I have always had a feeling that the official reasons given were untrue. I also remember the Pentagon was apparently hit by a commercial aircraft but the evidence found at the scene could not support the official story. The visual evidence seen on TV contradicts the conclusions given by all official sources. The truth will set us free...

It is from my point of view obvious that the buildings didn't went down this way by them selves in the law of physics. Very interesting that this subject has grown this big and constantly gaining attention. I hope they will put out a documentary about this in Sweden, we have (I hope) a free speech television here.

9/11 to me (and a few select friends) is nothing but an attempt by the government to try and change and reform our society. I believe that the towers did not collapse on their own, but were however brought down by controlled demolition.
