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've always thought that the way the buildings fell so fast and almost straight down despite asymmetric damage to each tower was a little strange. I can't fathom a reason that WTC7 fell at all. I don't believe what our government tells us and since Dick Cheney was involved, I absolutely don't believe the official story.

I have studied the properties of metal in all it's forms and do not believe the official report of a weakening structure due to a jet fuel fire. The fact that WT7 is barely mentioned in the NIST report should be reason enough to reopen the investigation.

I have been working for the past 9 years as a salesman for a major manufacturer of light and heavy gauge steel framing products and systems.
There is no way those three buildings collapsed from structural steel failure due to fire. A fire of that nature could never reach temperatures hot enough to melt structural steel. Presence of molten metal at the base of all three buildings and visible dripping from one of the towers before collapse is consistent with the use of Termite or Thermate.

WTC7 didn't fall by three burning armchairs. No significant debris ever to be seen at the Pentagon. Two planes flying around without control through the worlds most secured airspace without authorities taking them down. BBC reporting about a fallen WTC7 before it fell. There is no further evidence required, that this whole story was a plot. There is only more evidence required, for whom to hang for it.

On 9/11 I took a short cut to where I would have been doing the make up for a Fashion Week show. When I got off the subway, the North Tower had been hit. All those around me kept saying it was an accident & a small plane that had hit. A few minutes later, I heard a thunderous noise coming from the NW. I looked to the Hudson & saw the second aircraft. I was standing on the North side of the South Tower. The aircraft hit high above my head. I didn't run but attempted to dodge all that was raining down. During this time, all I remember was jumping out of my skin numerous times from massive explosions which went off in both the North & South Towers causing even more debris. It wasn't until I began researching what happened that day, as the media never talked about anything I saw, including what I heard & smelled, that I finally found out the truth. The actions of not only our government but those around the world is chiefly due to the official 9/11 tale that continues to haunt me and will until the truth is revealed to all.
I was at the North side of the South Tower when I watched the second aircraft fly down the Hudson and crash into the South Tower directly above my head. Unlike most, I didn't run, I had gone into shock & did my best to dodge all that was raining down upon me. What I saw, heard, smelled, was never talked about within our media. There were many very loud explosions which made me jump out of my skin & after each, more debris, body parts, etc. came raining down upon me. I have no recollection of how long I was there, nor how I got to the ferry to New Jersey. But right as I was getting on the ferry, the South Tower collapsed. I surely would have been dead. After moving back to California in 10 days, I received EMDR treatments for my PTSD, I began researching the truth of all I experienced that day because all the media accounts contradicted everything I know I saw, heard, smelled, etc. This opened a Pandora's box so massive & unending that I continue to research to this day. The health problems I have continued to have since then are many. The CDC tested me & said I was fine. I went to be tested independently with the results showing positive for 5 very toxic substances that are found in bombs, not buildings. Those who heard, saw & experienced the bombs going off please come forward so we can join together as a force to bring about justice & the truth of what honestly happened that day.

Steel frame towers cannot naturally behave as exhibited at WTC. They can't fall at near free-fall,; they can't right themselves after listing more than 5 degrees (why is there no talk about the conservation of momentum?). the core columns cannot shear as evidenced in the rubble pile. In the entire history of human building, only three steel-frame buildings fell into their own footprints after relatively minor fires. They all fell in the same complex, on the same day. What are the odds?

Assessing what the expert structural engineers and building demolition experts have clearly demonstrated, with calculations and observations and my own engineering knowledge, my expertise in chemistry and explosives, I have to agree that building seven was demolished from the bottom. No fuel fire or random terrorist act will cause this type of controlled demolition. This is the result of carefully and expertly planned demolition by very competent professionals and explosives' experts. The same reasoning applies for the world trade center twin towers.

Jennifer Lynne Seeley is an artist passionate about focusing on overall truth without ego. I am also an actual living relative of Albert Einstein which inspires me to consider how we can truly make the world a better place for all people globally. I believe that starts with facing the truth and focusing on protecting our environment (aka our water, shelter and food supplies).
I inherently knew it was a set up from the moment I saw it. If we took all the dialogue from the Bush Administration and run it through a database, I would guess a large number of FEAR-based words would come up followed by a large number of Patriotic misleading terms that label anybody who disagrees as a Terrorists. Bush and all who knew and helped create this are the only real TERRORISTS. Our country owes the Middle Eastern countries an apology as well as our fellow dead Americans and honest fire fighters.

Matt Blake has always felt like he was born with the ability to draw. But he abandoned the BFA pursuits at the University of Missouri-Columbia to get into what he thought would be a more lucrative pursuit of Graphic Design/Art Direction in the Advertising industry. Mr. Blake subscribes to a two-pronged approach to art at this point in time - he works in oils as well as this relatively modern art form, digital collages. This newer technology enables an artist to grab and arrange preconceived forms, ideas and symbols in such a layered fashion that the conveyed ideas can be increasingly complex. All man made things that exist at one point or another were once only ideas inside our human minds... Blake explains. We bring this reality into existence... it is this infinite Thought StructureTM, or Structure of ThoughtTM - a phrase coined by me-that I try to bring into physical being thru this fairly new digital art form. Matt believes humanity can strive to uncover what has always been-a more perfect, more benevolent, accepting, compassionate world-and art can and will show us the way. Matt concludes, It is my hope that my work here on planet earth will help lead that charge. Why not?
Mr. Blake, for the sake of humanity and his own soul, subscribes to standing up to the powers that be because he feels that absolute power corrupts absolutely. 9-11 is case in point - we are deliberately being deceived. He questions all authority in the tradition of Gandhi, JFK, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, MLK among others.

I am going to Knox College this Fall 09 and have been interested and truly saddened about the events and the deceptions engulfing 9/11. I am an adamant history and sociology buff and behind the scenes events I believe deserve an equal amount if not more attention than public history.
The American Reichstag symbolizes the American Century and the American rulers and ruled in a most extraordinarily concise way. 9/11 reflects the psychologically gilded age in which we live. It involves self-destruction for political and economic benefits, deceit through every medium possible at any cost to integrity, and a new age witch hunt equivalent to the red scare for conspiracy nuts who merely thrive passionately for truth and transparency. How sad it is that the term truthers is used in a derogatory manner. Lies to the public and to oneself is what will be most remembered about the modern American public. Tear

Just want the truth. The WTC7 especially. There are several differing theories out there most of which open the doors for the TRUTH which I am sure is not being told right now. The buildings would have held and the ones that we are building in the UK are not dissimilar and would take the impact. I am not here to instigate political change but to find out the truth behind the seemingly controlled way that the 3 buildings came down that sorry day.

I believe that enough questions, based on serious investigation and forensic evidence, have been raised to warrant a serious response from responsible leaders. Even to a lay person, it seems inconceivable that three modern skyscrapers could have collapsed, in the manner in which they did, from airplane strikes and fires alone.

As the towers went down it was obvious to me that they were 'taken down' like a professional demolition. The explosions on the lower floors prior to them collapsing is blatant. The evidence is overwhelming. No black boxes were found, but some paperwork from the plane survived? The nano explosive material, the cut steel beams, the K-9 dogs taken from the building the day before, the eye-witness accounts of explosions before the plane hit, etc... The official story is weak and hasn't responded to many of these issues. A plane hitting the top of a tower like that couldn't bring down the whole building, the way the building was observed to have come down. Shrapnel, or debris, from the WTC towers couldn't have possibly caused Building 7 to come down like it did.

I was pretty young when 9-11 happened. I think it was the day after my 16th or 17th birthday. All I knew then was this is way bigger than what they are telling us. I am eager to hear more.
Something doesn't seem right. How is it possible for the collapse to resemble a planned demolition. Especially when the towers were hit so close to the top. Maybe if they were hit near the base. And I have seen that movie LOOSE CHANGE and it gave me some insite but I know there is so much more to explore.

I have a Regents Diploma and I have been studying the events of 9/11 for over three year's!
My opinion is that the buildings all had explosives planted in them. Mainly because of the fact that they fell at nearly free fall speed. And because no skyscraper has fallen due to a fire anywhere at any time in history. Jet fuel can't melt steel. The government said that the fire caused the steel to weaken not melt, so why weeks after the attack at ground zero steel was still melting cherry red? Steel melts at 2800'F so what could of melted the steel for weeks after 9/11? And why is building seven not in the 9/11 report?

1. Destruction proceeds through the path of greatest resistance at nearly free-fall acceleration 2. Improbable symmetry of debris distribution 3. Extremely rapid onset of destruction 4. Over 100 first responders reported explosions and flashes 5. Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft at 60 mph 6. Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking 7. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds 8. 1200-foot-dia. debris field: no pancaked floors found 9. Isolated explosive ejections 20 ' 40 stories below demolition front 10. Total building destruction: dismemberment of steel frame 11. Several tons of molten metal found under all 3 high-rises 12. Evidence of thermite incendiaries found by FEMA in steel samples 13. Evidence of explosives found in dust samples 14. No precedent for steel-framed high-rise collapse due to fire

There is no way the World Trade Center Buildings were taken down by two airplanes and the insuring fires. Only if you are willing to check your brain at the door of the phony government investigation, and ignore all the facts and evidence, could you come to such fatally flawed conclusions. Sadly, as usual, our own government officials are in a state of denial. This is true, at even the local levels of government. Sadder still is that the American people are willing to tolerate such nonsense from their elected representatives. So Republican or Democrat, it is business as usual from Washington to our local government. There is no accountability because we the people are too self-absorbed to demand it.
