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.

It is shattering to accept the unquestionable complicity of oath taking government officials in this murderous sham and its subsequent ravaging of human life to reward those already with a surfeit of wealth and power. Perhaps a trial would at least diminish the specious rectitude of the present den of iniquitous scum lords.

I do not believe the building would fall from the impact of an airplane alone. The lower structure is designed to retain the weight of the structure above. Wind loads alone on the building would be greater on the superstructure in the lower floors. And how could it fall so uniformly in it's own footprint? No lean and partial collapse? Very strange.

There is so much evidence that has yet to be debunked or explained by the official story. - - - - The initial antenna drop in WTC 1 before the perimeter walls drop, accelerating into the path of most resistance, the concrete dust analysis and energy it took to make it, why the corners of the towers did not collapse at the same rate as the floors, the cut up core columns at ground zero, the lack of any photographic evidence whatsoever of any pancaked floors, the time it took to collapse, the energy needed to throw steel hundreds of feet, the squibs well below the collapse wave, and of course the collapse of WTC 7. - - - - Until such time that all this can be clearly explained without the use of explosives, I will throw my lot with fundamental laws of physics rather then the official story which defies those laws.

Seventeen years of software development and technical support experience including four years in developing Civil Engineering and Architectural software.
When you watch the videos and listen to firefighter testimony, it appears that the 3 buildings exploded. If there was a point of failure the building would have toppled asymmetrically and not at free fall speed as the supports below the fires would not have melted. Bones and dust were scattered many blocks away and a collapse does not support this but an explosion would explain it. Why not investigate how the terrorists planted the explosives in the building beforehand? Why not test the dust for thermite or nano-thermite? I would like to know the truth of what has happened. I have moved out of the United States and have converted my dollars to other currency until I can trust those in power again.

Once I started my own architectural firm in Seattle in Jan 1991 (over 29 yrs ago), I continued to have work on numerous high rise buildings.
The visual analysis of the collapse of all three WTC buildings does not meet, in my opinion, the nature of a collapse related to non-symmetrical destruction. All three buildings collapsed symmetrically downward with no horizontal deviation even though the damage to the structure was non-symmetrical. A professional architect, engineer or one versed in the physics of building structures would intuitively know that a non-symmetrical failure of one part of a structure would not allow the entire structure to come down vertically, but would tip it to one side much like chopping a tree down. That did not happen in any of these buildings and is suspect.

I have a High School Diploma and work as a Server in Restaurants. But most importantly concerning 9/11, I have COMMON SENSE!
WTC 7 was just too obvious so I think anyone with common sense can see it's not fire, come on people! It's like people aren't using their brains probably because its too emotional, I guess. For WTC 1&2 I would say the same because they BOTH fell exactly at free fall speed. Considering the planes hit in different locations, the Chaos theory states there's no way it would result in the same EXACT way. Also, how is there no resistance AT ALL? AT ALL. I mean come on people!!! And as Richard Gage, AIA says, the building falls in the path of GREATEST resistance.

We have been told 9/11 changed the world. Yet, a thorough, independent investigation of this world changing event has not been conducted. The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission, Kean and Hamilton, have stated publicly that critical information was withheld from the Commission rendering the final report invalid. This is outrageous and an affront to our form of government. The Congress must show courage and open a new, comprehensive investigation, seeking the whole truth no matter where this process leads. Without such, this nation and its government will lack credibility in the eyes of our citizens and the world for generations to come.

Anyone who passed even 11th grade physics should know these collapses simply could not have happened as they did without the proper explosives/thermal cutters in place. Free fall speeds cannot be attained with mass below interrupting the fall. Therefore, the mass of the towers was obviously removed ahead of the falling upper floors. I believe the whole truth will come out- and not too long from now. There's been a lot of progress made in the Truth Movement and eyes are definitely opening on a large scale.

From what I hear, the official 9/11 report does not mention the collapse of WTC building 7 or the secondary explosions heard by the people in and around the WTC buildings, both of which need to be explained. If you watch footage, which I think has just been released in the last couple of years (It's 2010 now), you'll heare many reporters, firefighters, and employees of the WTC talk about secondary explosions going off- from the time the towers were on fire until they finally collapsed. Now if these secondary explosions weren't caused by any kind of gas leaks or pipes being severed and exploding, then their had to be explosives planted throughout the buildings, and what can be inferred from this is that these three buildings were actually brought down by demolition. And if they were demolished, who demolished them, and why? Another topic I don't believe was discussed enough in the 9/11 report was the pools of molten metal found coming out of the higher parts of WTC buildings and also found at the base of the buildings. I believe the official report says it's just molten aluminum but doubters of the official report, who are scientists and others, are able to prove that it's not aluminum because of the color of the gas coming from the molten metal which is shown in footage of the towers as they were still burning.

Independent thinkers and researchers are in short supply. I salute your efforts along these lines.
I have never believed the official story. BOTH twin towers - the victims of crashing airliners? - and NO scrambling of US Air Force jets to intercept either plane?!? Plus, I HEARD those fresh, firsthand accounts describing the series of percussive explosions emanating from areas far below the impact areas and near the base of Bldgs 1 & 2. Great to see credible support from the Architectural and Engineering sectors of the need for an honest, credible investigation of what REALLY took place that day... If Muslim terrorists were indeed responsible for the attacks on American soil, it was not without the US Administration's complicity.

I have no technical experience, rather a natural curiosity for answers to why 3 steel buildings would collapse by fire in one day when it has never in history happened before.
There are numerous eyewitnesses saying they heard bombs prior to the Buildings falling and others near the Pentagon saying they saw the plane on a different trajectory than the one in the official account. The NIST didn't even test for explosives even tho there were numerous witnesses saying they heard bombs and explosions. In short, there are hundreds of questions in the official story/account of all aspects of the tragedy on Sept. 11. We absolutely MUST have a new investigation.

Numerous eye-witness and photo, audio accounts of secondary explosions and collapse effects indicate that Prof's Griffin's and others' concerns, followed by the non-standard investigation, payoff scheme, and crime scene compromise after the crime indicate a scenario that requires an impartial scientific evaluation of building failures and causes.

Not an architect, not an engineer, not even a scientist. Just a guy with a lot of common sense who knows when something just doesn't add up.
The morning of 9/11, watching the buildings burn, my wife asked if they would fall. I said 'no, impossible, if anything the top will start to lean and perhaps fall off.' The moment the entire building(s) came down I couldn't believe it. How? It didn't make sense to me but for a time I accepted the story and what my eyes had seen. By 2003 I was convinced something wasn't right and the 'official story' stank to high heaven. It took me a few more years to find people who believed as I did. I am a seeker of truth and know when I'm being lied to. The truth is what will set us free.

As a layman (appraiser), and not an engineer, I saw Building 7 collapse in a very different way than the towers. There is too much contradictory information involved, not the least of which is the BBC broadcast saying it had fallen, when it appeared to still be standing in the background. The lack of significant video regarding the Pentagon (I can't believe they had fewer cameras around than my local WalMart!) and the lack of wing marks and appropriate debris in and around the building are of great concern. We need a thorough and complete' investigation.

Idaho resident who has reviewed documentaries of 9/11 and feels doing an official investigation about what took place on 9/11 is more than warranted.
The rate at which the buildings fell defies gravity unless the use of explosives were used to aid the rate at which the towers fell. Building #7 could not have collapsed without the aid of explosives. Not reopening this for investigation is a gross display of disrespect to the victims and family of the victims of 9/11 when evidence has shown the use of explosives may have been used.

While being glued to the television, watching the horror before me unfold on the morning of 9/11, my jaw dropped as I saw the first tower collapse. My immediate thought was that it was a controlled implosion. Buildings don't just go straight down on their own. It seemed to me as though the floors above the impact of the plane would have toppled over and down one side or the other, leaving most of the lower floors still standing and relatively in tact. Watching Buildings 2 and 7 collapse the same way as the first was just 'too neat'. Also, noticing how quickly the 'rubble of evidence' was being shipped overseas alarmed me. How could concrete and steel below impact become nothing but dust in just a few seconds. Also, Bush's comment about the pilot hitting the first building being a 'bad driver' with a smile on his face, when God only knew the loss of human life yet, made me sick inside. I want the truth to come out and justice to be served.
