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 working for ten years in software development. I'm mainly concerned with electronic signature, ciphering, time stamping functions, and PKIs.
I 'm still unable to find any explanation in the official commission reports that stands...I've just read the NIST, NCSTAR report for public comment pdf for the WTC7 collapse explanation, but there's almost no point about the time to collapse! F.R. Greening report about WTC 1 and 2 seems very well informed but doesn't take into account that the top of north tower lean while falling: that's completely missing in his calculations...whereas it obviously should have had a great importance to calculate the developed strengths in his pancake collapsing theory...but that simply can't be the truth because it's obvious to me that the leaning should have increased unless another strength was applied.

Show me the evidence. Where is the remains of the air craft that we are told hit the Pentagon or crashed into a field? Somewhere beneath the piles of debris from the World Trade Center should have been mangled and melted fuselages and engines, not just the scattered scraps. Why was the removal of the WTC debris rushed to prevent a careful forensic study? Too many questions remain about the incidences and conflicting interpretations that the topic justifies a transparent review.

10 days after the collapse I had trained to be a volunteer in CT when called by the AMTA to become a responder. Then I attended a team leadership training in New York and became Tony Sciacotos' right hand man who was in charge of the NY Team. During these 10 days I came across a police car with 2 officers in it which was covered with debris. After discussing this and what happened they gave me permission to remove some debris from their patrol car which had been under the Twin Towers when one fell.
I became a team leader of the NYC massage team as a volunteer and worked in Firehouses and Precincts for 7 days. For 3 days I was the team leader at the main command center running the massage therapy team. I heard many stories and walked to the destruction to observe and gave my team members permission to do so in groups of 2 while we worked on the rescuers and others.

Ten years later, no details of the digital image of the Towers, 1 & 2, damaged structures and model has been published by NIST. Those of WTC 7 do not correspond to observable reality. The 2.25 seconds of WTC 7 free fall is one of much evidence of the intentional demolition. For his theory of gravitational progressive collapse, Bazant uses a value of free fall acceleration, which allows him to overestimate the kinetic energy available for the first ....missing jolt.... He plays down then the energy dissipated in plastic deformation of the poles using a model that buckling does not match the behavior of short columns and the AISC prescriptions, which recommended that the critical stresses of decline, be close to the poles compression resistance. This requirement does not allow poles to bend under a load of axial compression. Bazant's calculations are wrong. For the failure of the North Tower poles, it was necessary that all the poles reach 750 ' C. NIST simulations can be concluded that the steel did not reach these temperatures with office fires ...

I am a citizen of the USA, and believe that a real investigation needs to be done, in the best interests of the country. If it can't be done at the federal government level then at the state level.
The collapses of all the buildings are very suspect to say the least. If we can not depend on our leaders to look at the problems them maybe we need new leaders that will.

The 'official' NIST/FEMA version of the events of 9/11 is a fraud. How does the 'pancake' theory explain why steel beams were embedded in nearby buildings? Why was fire the only cause investigated when the probability of it initiating this catastrophic collapse was near zero? What caused WTC7 to implode? What happened to the angular momentum of the top of WTC2 as it tilted at 23 degrees from the perpendicular yet, incredibly, disintegrated before it hit the ground?

Although I am not an architect or engineer, I have a level of professional skepticism concerning the official story of what caused the towers to fall - especially Building 7. Please don't forget the Pentagon that was officially hit by an airplane as well - I'm sorry but two 21,000lb airplane engines don't disintegrate when they hit a cement wall. The punch out vs. punch in at the crash site is also highly irregular.
Very interested in all the truth. We've declared WAR on terror and this was the singular event leading up to this declaration. All too many eye-witnesses disagree with the official story. Things just don't add up. This event has been compared to Pearl Harbor. The events of September 2001 and the course of action taken by OUR government are all too eerily outlined in Zbigniew Brezinski's book The Grand Chessboard copyrighted in 1997. There IS more to the story - WE, THE PEOPLE, DESERVE THE TRUTH.

I fully expected, as a non-expert, for the top of the first tower to fall to the side leaving the remainder. It was strange watching it collapse into itself. I fully expected, as a non-expert, for the top of the second tower to fall onto itself leaving a high-rise clean-up. I was surprised watching it collapse into itself. I didn't expect another building to collapse. Then the third building collapsed, into itself. Something didn't feel right, but not being an expert, I didn't know what.

Im not a professional, just a lay person wanting to make public the truth about 911; the world has a right to know what really happened.
Dedicated to all the victims of 911 who died that day, you will always be remembered. My view of the world has changed since that day when all those people lost their lives, the trust in govenment has been eroded; it's annoying how people who only want answers and the truth to come out are labled nuts or worse. Anyone who takes the time to look at the overwhelming evidence can see that the official story just does not hold water.

I was shocked the moment I heard the 3rd building fell. First, it did not sustain heavy damage. Second, the way in which it fell was obviously controlled. I have researched and seen much video footage on the fall of the towers and there is too much evidence pointing to a planned, high level demolition. Furthermore, looking at the Pentagon, it is a physical impossibility for a large aircraft to hit a wall inside the courtyard at that particular angle. The whole operation was planned.......and not by middle eastern terrorists.

I have been here in Hawaii for 3 years now. I work for Home Depot as a design consultant for kitchens and baths.
Since the moment I watched the towers fall, I believed that they fell due to controlled demolition. I am still waiting for the truth to be told. I watched the 24 hour news channels for at least 12 hours the day of and the following 2 days; I watched the news change as the days went on. I continue to seek more plausible answers to the events of 9/11/01 than have been given by the official investigations. Together we have a chance to do just that. From the evidence I have found, I believe there are 3 questions that are most important, and have not been truthfully answered. 1. What really caused the collapse of the towers? 2. What happened with our air defense that day? 3. Who is responsible for it all?

I am simply a concerned American citizen wanting the truth to come out about the great loss of life on September 11, 2001. There is too much overwhelming evidence contrary to mainstream media reports of the actual events of this horrible day. My family and I would like to see the questions of those family members answered to the best of this country's means. A new report should be filed as those truly responsible for the horrific events of 9/11 should be rightfully brought to justice. Again, I am simply a concerned citizen seeking the truth.
It is without questionable doubt that explosives as well as thermite/thermate were found in the remains of the twin towers. The average citizen does not need to think twice about the true events of September 11, 2001. World Trade Center 7 only brings this scenario into better light, as well as more questions on the table. A new investigation is demanded and expected from the citizens of America, not excluding the questions of many other nations. A worldwide event such as 9/11 demands a worldwide explanation. We need to know what we are really up against. The truth will always prevail.

28 years of experience in engineering services. The last 12 years spent as a structural detailer. I detailed the tallest thru plate steel girder railroad bridge in the USA. 160 foot spans, 16 foot tall girder.
I have difficulty accepting the notion that the hijackers could fly the jets into the buildings yet they only had simulator experience. Firemen at the scene testified they heard a series of explosions prior to the collapse. Supposedly thermite has been discovered on the debris. Thermite is a military grade explosive. Nothing hit building 7 yet it collapsed. The official story doesn't wash.

I have been in the construction trades for over 30 years and never believed the jet fuel story. My experience has been in home building but I have also seen other explosive demolitions featured on TV and they were exactly the same as those on 911.
My opinion, it was an inside job and I believe it will eventually be confirmed by proof that those buildings were brought down by explosives.

I am a 39-year-old wife and mother of three kids. I am a homemaker mostly, but I also do office and home cleaning.
I remember when I first saw the footage of the twin tower collapses, my first instinct was that it didn't look like a collapse according to what the media was telling us. I had no TV reception at the time, so I saw the footage quite a bit later after I heard the official story from the radio and other people. So when I finally did see it, I thought it looked wrong and more like a controlled demo. I dismissed it then, but after much research on the internet, my fears were confirmed.

I believe that the evidence that will be the determining factor in the true story coming out is the actual scientific evidence that is explored and interpreted by this organization. There are many other obvious clues and inferences that can be made, but can all be disputed by lies and cover-ups. The things talked about by ae911truth.com are irrefutable and concrete, and those qualities are essential to encouraging the general public to even look at our side.

Born March 12, 1943. I spent a year at Barnard College as a biology major. Switched to Catholic University, at first majoring in religious education, but changed my major to psychology. I got sick and couldn't return to college, so I got a job as a clerk typist. I liked the work and decided not to go back to college. I worked my way up to secretary, and then to administrative assistant. I worked at a number of places, the longest being the National Academy of Sciences (10 years) where I was an administrative assistant. I am now retired (66 years old). I was married but my husband died young. I'm a widow. We didn't have any children.
I have watched the online video over and over. It is obvious that these collapses were NOT natural events resulting from being hit by an airplane. Especially after seeing the results of several planned demolitions. We need to know what really happened.
