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.

As someone who considers himself a no-nonsense observer who values truth in whatever form it takes, I am embarrassed that it took me so long to question the cognitive dissonance between the official story and what I observed with my own eyes. Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. ~Patrick Henry

I am familiar with all sorts of materials testing - compressive and tensile strength, microscopy, spectroscopy, etc. My undergraduate program especially focused on the chemistry of materials.
I recently re-discovered an interest in the phenomenon known as creep - how a material such as steel under an applied load may fail at temperatures far below melting. I recall a colleague saying 'creep is what caused the buildings to collapse'. Before watching the movie at this website, my biggest concern was how could creep cause such a symmetric collapse? I would expect instead to see the buildings fold at the weakest point(s), instead of falling straight down at nearly free-fall speed. But it is hard to imagine how local heating combined with coincidental insulation failure could cause the necessary uniformity of temperature along the massive steel columns. I enjoyed seeing analysis of the buildings' design, especially the heat sink near the base and other fire-safety measures.

WTC7 could not come down due to small fires and collateral damage as implied by the official report. This collapse was due to controlled demolition. This is the only way to weaken the support columns throughout the building to bring it to the ground the way it did.

I have been active in the occupy movement and as a blogger to expose how the new education reform program (common core, testing replacing teaching, etc.), intends to privatize public education, freeze children from (mostly non-white) poverty homes out of post-secondary education and continue to swell the student loan debt (a cash cow for the federal government) to greater and greater proportions.
Evidently pulled off by big monied interests of the world who needed to employ US military in the oil countries and support efforts to set up world government under the Rothschilds, Morgans, DeutchBanks, etc. Obvious that the USA is being forced to do all the dirty work by the fact that we are broke and owe everything we have to the big banks that own the Fed.

As an engineering student I was very early fascinated by the amount of focused effort, strictly controlled environment & energy that is required to melt & form steel.An aviation spirit fire does not come any way near with any of the above criteria to cause such a free fall collapse as witnessed at WTC1,2, & 7. The RB211 engines of a Boeing 757 should have left a much larger footprint at the Pentagon then was visible with the released film clips of the resulting explosion & fire etc..

I am a 20 year old poet, blogger, and TV producer that has eyes, ears, and a brain so I, too, know that we have been lied too. Let's not lie to ourselves and let's get this out to the public to judge for themselves.
My concerns range from political motivation and benefit to physical impossibilities. A plane cannot bring down a skyscraper or melt structural steel. Building 7 didn't even have a plane hit it and it got demolished as did the twin towers. The NIST is full of it and when I say it I'm missing two letters.

My technical experience does not allow me to make any comments regarding the events of 9/11. I am just a concerned citizen and wish to see a full investigation into the events of 9/11.
Again, I do not possess the technical knowledge to make any judgment regarding the collapses. I just wish to support the individuals who recognized the destruction of the World Trade Center was not a result of the two planes that crashed into them and of course had nothing to do with the collapse of Building 7.

The official version doesn't make sense to me. The way the towers fell, the hole in the towers from the plane, how the Pentagon was looking like after the crash there. The hole in the ground that should be the crash down from the forth airplane, I have never seen an airplane hitting the ground like this. That they found the Passport from the high-checker in all that debris and dust. Everything was pulverized, burned, melted...but that passport was still readable. And so on and on.

I was watching when the buildings came down and uneducated as I am, I could see it was a controlled demolition. Thank you for putting this information together in a professional way from a professional standpoint. Hopefully the truth will set us free.

i have 2 years of building structure and engineering study behind me now. I'm 22, live in England, research steel framed buildings, and am very interested in the 9/11 truth.
I believe that the American government is behind a lot of things, including the war between Iraq and Iran, as your American government gave chemical weapons to Iraq, which also raises suspicion about whether the American government just let the terrorists hijack American planes and destroy the twin towers. There are a lot of obvious lies surrounding this subject such as the fact that one of the towers was said to have collapsed because the steel frame melted, but if it had melted, then people couldn't have survived in the plane hole. Yet there were people waiting for rescue. And they said no explosives were used, but many people close by heard them. And the coincidence that the same day that most of the fighter jets protecting the country were on a training day and there were only 9 fighter jets left to protect America.

There are too many holes in the story we have been told. There is too much evidence that shows this was a planned event from within our own country (possibly with some outside help too). Six of the ten 9/11 Commissioners have come forward in the past couple of years and publicly stated the report was set up to fail. We need to demand answers and hold those truly responsible accountable for the crimes on humanity. Peace, Love and Truth for all!

I am a member of the rapidly growing collection of thinking Americans no longer willing to just accept what is being rained down upon us as truth and fact. Looking under the hood with the help of A&E for Truth, we can not accept the half truths of explanation offered by the Federal Government.
Given the overwhelming scientific information that contradicts the official explanation of what happened to the Twin towers and Building 7, all thinking individuals have to question the findings of the official investigation. Let's do it now and NOT bury the Truth.

it is fundamentally impossible for a free standing 47 story building with virtually no damage to suddenly collapse in a basic free fall without carefully planted explosives....damage to a part of the building through an impact or explosion would have caused collapse of that section with the remainder of the building left relatively intact.

Born 1960. While I have no technical background (save what I've learned from such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth), I have three university degrees and am therefore familiar with critical thinking and academic discourse. What I have learned over the past ten years from 9-11 researchers such as David Ray Griffin suggests we have been sold a public myth rather than scientific fact. Profound thanks to those courageous professionals who are willing to risk their careers in the cause of truth.
Numerous scholarly books and articles--not to mention the documentary film 9-11: Blueprint For Truth--have the cumulative effect of undermining the authorized conspiracy theory regarding September 11th. Thanks to the diligent work of such groups as Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, we are ready to insist on a new and independent public investigation with full subpoena powers.

I first took interest in the topic because of a movie I saw online called Zeitgeist which really got my attention. After more research I found the documentary Loose Change which opened more questions. I soon realized that millions of people believed the official story was fictitious and that the evidence for the buildings to fall due to fire held no water. I purchased Dr. Steven Jones' lecture as well as Richard Gage's DVDs on this site and had to come to the realization that professionals questioned the official story as well. I want a fair and independent investigation to take place. I want the truth.

I've followed politics and political events for all my adult life, as best I could, from the information available to me. The internet and information on it from literate and articulate writers who source their opinions has resulted in me fundamentally changing my understanding of our country, the U.S.
The corners and interior columns of WTC 7 could not possibly have all failed at the same time, due to fire. Any collapse, improbable to begin with, would have been lopsided, not straight down, unless explosives of some sort were used.

I think A&E for Truth speaks for us all concerning the technical analysis of the demolition of the three WTC buildings. It would take weeks, maybe months to plant the explosives in the buildings. This explains the high level of security reported by employees during the weeks leading up to the attack
