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.

Electrical/Electronic Engineer, during my degree I have studied physics and the evidence more than overwhelms the lie put out by the government. Could they have destroyed the crime scene by removing all the evidence any faster?
This was a staged demolition with no doubt. The plane's impact and the fire that ensued did not bring these buildings down. Being on national TV, too many people's statements illuded to this. It is a crying shame that most people get caught up in the sensationalism and do not look at the physical evidence. The government, the media and the powers above them prey on the innocent citizens that are not educated enough to know the simple law of physics.

I have graduated in 2001 and started my own firm in 2007. I work primarily with residential architecture, including architectural projects, construction and interior design.
When an expert implodes any building to its footprint it is a result of years of experience and several months of preparation. In 9/11 the planes caused irregular damages to both buildings. It is not reasonable to believe that it caused the whole structure to collapse at the same time and with such symmetry. It is even more difficult to believe that that happened not once that day, but three times - one of them even without the impact of a plane.

Ottawa, ON, Canada
I`m a 25 year old engineer working for the Canadian Federal Government in Motor Vehicle Regulations. I have obtained my bachelor`s degree at Ottawa University in 2009. I have designed a steel structural chassis for an amphibious vehicle which was fully analyzed, designed, and documented with drawings for manufacturing of the parts.
The core column for the twin towers was a combination of massive steel rods and cement and were amongst the strongest steel columns in the world. A fire in open air could potentially have weakened the steel in the column at a single point on the 100-sotry buildings, although this is highly unlikely given the steel melting point is much higher than a fire by kerosene in open air. But the cement in the column would still have sustained the building upwards. The problem is the column could have flexed and broken at that point, but the building would have fallen sideways. The floors below were designed to sustain 10 times the weight of all floors above at full capacity. The only way the column could have collapsed upon itself is if it was brought to malleability from top to bottom simultaneously, including the skeleton structural steel rods. But this was not the case. And even if it was, all the floors, walls, and other structural components would have created resistance and the collapse would have been slow. What the evidence shows is that they collapse at free fall speed minus air resistance. This is only achievable in a controlled demolition which removes the matter with explosives before the above floors reach the ones below. This is not to mention building 7. You don`t need expertise to break that one down.

I have no real formal training in the areas of architecture or engineering, however I do have a basic layman's knowledge of such things. Personally, I have never felt there was much reason to doubt the official story concerning the 9/11/01 attack, however a video I watched on YouTube recently altered my thinking in this area. I now am convinced that the official story is a lie and that a new investigation must be conducted.
I never really gave the issue much thought, however looking back on it I now realize that the official story simply does not make any sense. The idea that a jumbo jet could hit a tower built to withstand such a collision, and that said impact would cause a demolition-like collapse of the tower is simply ridiculous.

I have been a 9/11 truth activist and peace activist for the past 3 years. Katrina was the tipping point for me, when I could no longer watch and do nothing.
There is just overwhelming evidence of a coverup starting with the initial resistance to an investigation. Collapse at free fall speed; everything pulverized into dust; firemen's statements of explosions; testimony of William Rodriguez, the janitor who lead the firemen up the towers who speaks of explosions in the sub-basement before the planes hit the towers; war games on 9/11; lack of response from NORAD; visible squibs in the footage; misrepresentation of the design of the building by the Commission, the History Channel, Popular Sci; omission of Bldg 7 from the 9/11 Commission Report; the claim by Condoleeza Rice that the government had no reason to expect an attack. Sorry, it is hard to be concise. There is just too much evidence of wrongdoing.

The collapse of the building and the physical evidence points to a demolition. The architects and planners of the twin towers went to great lengths to protect the building from an airline crash. Never before in the history of steel buildings did one fall as a result of a fire.

Some college education, a decade of construction experience, medical field experience after that, and my parents raised no fools. I come from a family that has a long standing vested interest in this country, stretching back hundreds and hundreds of years, for what it's worth. We all hold dear the tenets of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.
Every official story concerning the events of 911 is full of holes and easily shredded using logic, physics, and the photographic and video evidence from that day. The suppressed video of the Pentagon before the collapse clearly shows a hole the size of which is too small for a jumbo jet to fit through. The video of the Towers collapsing at free fall speed is telling. The suppressed slow motion video of the planes hitting the towers would convince many that things were not quite like the script writers wanted us to believe. I have some messages for the true perpetrators of this colossal crime and their collaborators and accessories after the fact.... The end does NOT justify the means...there is no statute of limitations on mass murder... and we will be hunting you till the day you die and then some.

Just an average person, who after reading about the collapses of the WTC buildings on 9/11, conjoined with the rest of what has happened, realizes the Government has been lying, and is controlled by something other than the American people, law, or even the slightest moral compass.

Molten metal persisting for up to 100 days, symmetrical freefall collapse, the pulverization of nearly the entirety of WTC towers and the existence of iron rich sulfated micro spheres in WTC dust samples are all phenomenon that add up to something other than just fire and plane impact as the cause of the collapses.

My band called KABONG has a rock music CD release coming out asap called Shredders Of The People and it includes a historically significant 15 minute interview Richard gave on INN news talking about how the 3 World Trade Towers collapsed by evidence of bombs and controlled demolition in particular. The real treasonous murderous criminals responsible for 9-11 and the cover up are still in power as their lie they told so loud prevails. I live every day to bring truth and justice to the 3000 spirits who were sacrificed so the US parasites responsible could justify their wars, changes imposed on the American people, and increased dictatorial power to the Executive branch as leader of the US war machine.

While I am not an architect or engineer I do have a Masters Degree in Education. I teach students to think critically about what they read and what is presented to them as truth through the media.
I believe that anyone who actually studies the building collapses will at least admit the possibility of controlled demolition. Since it is clear that this possibility was excluded from the realm of previous official investigations, it is clear that a new investigation is absolutely needed. This investigation must be public and the information presented widely distributed through the mass media.

I have first-hand experience of taking down a building and watching buildings fall and burn. To buy the reasoning of the 9/11 investigations' results and findings, you know how much they think the American will swallow, and it is an insult to the integrity and trust of the American people. It assumes that the American people are stupid or ignorant, and if we are the same people who conspired this dastardly act, they made the American people that way through their state education system, which they constantly pull funding from, thereby making a lot of poorly educated people.

I am a high school graduate and have completed some college. I don't have technical experience when it comes to demolition or construction, but I am also not an idiot (which I would have to be to believe the official account.) I am a musician and an artist. I think this speaks for itself; we get around.
It is just common sense to me that the official account of what happened on 9/11 isn't true. It is obviously a lie, and it's hard to believe that anyone truly believes it. Whoever orchestrated this lie obviously has a great deal of power; it seems unlikely that we, the proponents of truth and good and all that is righteous, are going to get any breaks when it comes to getting a real investigation. But let's keep trying anyway!

You don't have to dig too far - just simply look at what you can see and you'll end up with lots of questions about what we were told. You'll also find out that you're not alone with those questions and you'll also find answers which fit exactly to what you saw and heard but which will lead you to a quite contrary result as you might have thought in the first place. The official story is as believable as any action movie you might want to watch - maybe plausible at first sight but when you start asking if that's really possible you end up with a no. You'll just come to this understanding by accepting nothing more than bare facts you can prove for yourself in most cases. No beliefs, no rumors, no theories - just simple facts...
