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 studied high rise buildings with Prof. Behnisch in Darmstadt. Diploma in 1982. Until 1991 I worked with BGS Frankfurt, Germany, main project: leader of the planning team for the reconstruction of the New Opera in Frankfurt (destroyed by fire in 1987) ...
Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

I have over ten years experience as a Consultant Engineer and am now the Director/owner of an Engineering and Architectural metalwork company. I have worked for three consultancies prior to starting my own business and have designed buildings up to 9 stories high.
Where to start! It is patently obvious to those who have not been brainwashed by the main stream media that the towers could not have failed as the official narrative tries to describe. Thought of the explosive nature, the speed, the symmetry and many other points too numerous to mention must surely lead us to some ask some very searching questions on what really happened?

I worked after (and even now) in the technical service of a town in the suburbs of Paris. My work : studies for new projects, heritage buildings and also all perils in the town and decisions to assure the security of inhabitants and repair the construction.
In the years after 911 events, I thought that all I read in professional reviews and French newspapers was true. The first time I understood that it was impossible was when I saw a film about the collapse of WTC7. I have seen before a controlled demolition of a flat near Paris, and it was the same ! I knew by my experience that a fire cannot do this.

Where has the plastic strain energy gone ? On the other hand, one can ask: How come no one has spoken out yet ?

I am not a conspiracy theorist and never have been. I had heard before from people that they believed our government was behind this and scoffed at the outlandishness of the idea that our government would deliberately kill our own people and commit treason against the country they vowed to protect. In the last month or so I decided that I would look on you tube and find out why people felt this way. After watching just a few videos I was absolutely floored, nauseated and angry at the same time. I started looking for groups that were involved or wanted to make a change. I chose this group for two reasons. The first being that so many of the other groups are not recently active. The second reason is because I feel that your group with its technical expertise and ability to present the information on such a technical level gives you a stronger voice than so many others.

I have too many questions about 9-11. I want an investigation so the real terrorists can be prosecuted. The American department of defense is creating new terrorists on Guantanamo. Stop the illegal wars!
I don't now the truth, but I have a lot question marks about the way America took action after 9-11. Why did the case of Monika Lewinski get such a big research, which compared to 9-11 was a laugh, when there are hundreds of thousand people being killed for only the illegal reasons. Stop the war!

I am a very concerned citizen of this great country. I am very appreciative of the experts who have dug into this huge mystery. There needs to be an investigation into the NIST report. NO QUESTION!!!!!!!
It is pretty sad when the untrained eye can see the obvious. This needs to be pushed until the rats are smoked to the surface. Too many innocent lives lost not to. Even one life is too many. These tyrants need to be exposed.

I work as a carpenter in the construction trade and have seen what fire does to a steel structure. I have seen steel beams bend or sag from fire but never saw a steel building fall due to fire. I have participated in protests against the war in Iraq because I believe 9/11 was used by the Bush administration to justify it. I also believe 9/11 was use to diminish my civil liberties and the civil liberties of the people of the United States of America and personally . . . I don't like it!
In 2006 I was very surprised to see a video of the WTC 7 collapse on the internet. I was lead to believe by mainstream media that it suffered so much damage from the fire started by the WTC 1 & 2 collapse that it fell on its own. The videos I saw of its destruction looks like a planned building implosion. I'm assuming that it takes a fair amount of time to rig a large steel building for a controlled demolition, even more if it is to be done without public knowledge and far longer than the seven hours it took for its collapse after WTC 1 & 2 came down. This suggests to me that demolition charges were set in WTC7 well before 9/11. Why? A video of Jane Stanley from the BBC shows her reporting the Solomon building destruction 23 minutes before it happened. Why? The 911 commission report about WTC7 completely ignores the subject. Why? I am not a conspiracy proponent. I ask and see questions being asked about the official explanation and now find inconsistencies in the official explanation of what happened on 9/11.

Something is very inconsistent with the official story. WTC 7 fell so perfectly straight down as if all vertical structures failed at the same time. So many other things seem so unlikely that another investigation is warranted. An open mind is all that is needed.

I have an Associate in Specialized Technology Degree in Electronics Engineering from which I have learned to base my assumptions on the outcome of an event on the precise facts of the input of the event. I am also familiar with the Scientific Method and it's uses.
I'm suspicious of the lack of debris such as office content. The lack of accumulative time of fall due to the additive affect that pancaking would of caused by each floor. The explosions prior to collapse are also suspicions. I'm also suspicious of the lack of independent chemical analysis. To sum it up, the investigation appears to have been kept IN HOUSE. We demand an investigation independent of interests biased to the U.S. government.

I am a student at Ryerson University working on my psychology degree. Although I am neither architect or engineer, I am a seeker of the truth and wish to stand up for what is right in this world. I believe I have a choice to accept the evidence provided and I have.
There is not question in my mind that the demolition of the Twin Towers along with Building 7 were professionally executed by a group of individuals. That group has done a careful job of hiding their identity because they are the same group that controls our media and deliberately keeps the truth from the general public in order to place a blindfold over the eyes of humanity. It is completely up to us, the general public to wake up and critically analyze any information we are given by those we call our authority. If we want something done about it, if we want to see our world change from ignorance to awareness we need to take it into our own hands with no fear. If you give into fear, they have already won and you have relinquished your right for a free world.

Anyone in their right mind would have to question how a building that was not struck by a plane or did not suffer serious debris damage, could go down in under 7 seconds. As an American citizen, I demand that my government allow for the truth to be known through government documents and a full investigation into what happened on that fateful day.

If anyone looks at the video of when Building 7 went down compared to the Oklahoma Federal Building, when Timothy McVeigh blew it up. You will see, the building still stands with a huge hole / half of the building is missing. There is no way this came down by it's self. And BBC Reported the building went down 20 min before it actually did.

I cannot find one SINGLE bit of evidence which backs up the government's official version of what happened on 9/11 in my research. The 4 main clues to me that this was an inside job are..... 1. The way in which Trade Center building no.7 fell down. 2. The fact that building no.7 was reported to have fallen 20 mins before it actualy did. 3. The falling of the twin towers into their own footprint at free fall speed. 4. Most of the alleged hijackers have been found alive after 9/11.

Absence of Arabic names on four passenger lists. Building 7 collapsed the same way like the other two towers without being hit Several supposed hijackers have been found to be alive, and neither CIA or FBI interviewed them The surveillance tape from Pentagon and businesses around Pentagon were confiscated and never shown. The obvious explosions can be clearly seen before the buildings collapsed. The witnesses who were inside the towers prior to collapse heard and felt explosions. The magic passport of Mohamed Atta which was found on a NY street is an obvious plant. The black boxes apparently did not survive while Atta's passport survived together with the credit card slips in side of it. Prior to 9/11 witnesses testify that there was a blackout and explosive sniffing dogs were not used as usual. NORAD did not scramble , in spite of the fact that the territory of United States had been violated
