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'm fairly new to this website. I found it after watching some videos of evidence showing the towers collapsing due to explosives. I'm excited to navigate more through this site and all of the evidence. It does seem to me after seeing more of the evidence, it could not be possible that planes took down the towers. Especially building 7, and I would very much like to know the truth of how something like this happened.

BS Virginia Tech 1980, Civil Engineering (Structural). Ten Years working as a structural engineer at RTKL Associates. Specialized in the design of hi-rise buildings using computer models including finite element analysis and beam-column analysis. Responsible for calculating all wind, earthquake, dead load, and live loads and specifying the required steel, concrete, and combination members as a result of the governing loads.
I read the NIST report and do not agree with their input load criteria. I also find it impossible that steel would become molten at the temperatures reached by burning of jet fuel. I believe nano-thermite or some other explosives must have been used. Regardless of WTC 1 and 2, nothing in the official story explains how WTC 7 failed. The use of the term 'pulled' is self explanatory in my opinion. This was clearly a controlled demolition.

I graduated in 2003, summa cum laude, with a bachelors degree in aerospace engineering from Georgia Tech.
The most unbelievable aspect of the official story, to me, is the free-fall speed and lack of tipping of the buildings. In the failure described by the official story, equal and opposite forces would have caused a jerky fall and lack of perfect symmetry would have caused the structure to tip as it falls.

Controlled demolition is the only scientifically plausible explanation of the collapses of the three buildings. Recall that in 1945 a 10-ton U.S. B-25 bomber hit the 79th floor of the much older Empire State Building. The building remained and remains fully intact though 3 crew members and 11 office workkers died. The 9-11 investigations were scientifically shoddy and much important evidence was prematurely disposed of. A fresh and unbiased investigation is urgently required of this, our new Pearl Harbor.

It is obvious that WTC Bldg 7 was intentionally demolished. No degree of external damage could have simultaneously knocked out all internal piers, resulting in the free fall, pancaking vertical fall of Bldg 7. Bldg 7's fall was identical to many intentional building demolitions. Since Bldg 7's failure is suspect, all events of that day are suspect.

I am not an architect but I am an art historian and american citizen that is floored that we did not understand this when it happened. it is so apparent that two planes could not have taken down the twin towers and bldg 7. I was shocked when 7 came down and had no idea how it could happen. Now I just want to know who was involved.
All of the videos appear that this was a demolition and should be investigated. This is too important to ignore.

I'm just a 59 year old concerned citizen who wants the truth to come out about what occurred on 9/11/01. I'm married, have 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren. I've been in sales and customer service for most of my life, I'm an outdoorsman, loved playing sports and as I've gotten older taken up kayak fishing. I'm still a follower of most professional and college sports teams. I lived in New Jersey for a good part of my life and remember seeing The Towers from the Jersey side on many occasions. Its so hard seeing what happened on that day
The evidence that I have seen indicates that a new investigation needs to be opened on the events that occurred on 9/11/01. The collapse of the buildings indicate a controlled demolition. There are no videos or evidence of any steel structures ever falling like those buildings did, particularly Building 7. No plane hit that building at all and the prior investigation said that office furniture burning was responsible for the collapse. I have burned many fires in my wood stove made of cast iron or on a grate, and never had any of it melt or collapse due to a hot fire being inside. All the supporting steel structures of the building would have to fail at the same time as well and the fires that were in building 7 were in isolated pockets. The real evidence shows that the building came down due to a controlled demolition.

I was born in Colombia, came to the U.S. about 6 years ago because I saw this country as the best country in the world. However, in recent years I have learned a lot about our government and the CFR and I'm deeply horrified about the manipulation and the extremes people are willing to go to achieve something, including killing millions.
It is clear 9/11 was used to undermine our rights and start wars in the Middle East for the special interests.

I am from New Jersey but I have lived in St. Louis since 1980. My brother works in Manhattan and was scheduled for a 10 am appointment in the North Tower on 9/11. Fortunately, his appointment was re-scheduled for a later date. I owned a flower shop here in St. Louis at the time.
I have watched many videos on YouTube questioning the veracity of the government's 9/11 report. I read the Popular Mechanics and watched the PBS explanation of the pancake effect that caused the collapse of the buildings. I resent their thinking that the American public is so gullible! I have listen to many programs like Coast to Coast AM questioning the explanations given by the government. Recently, I have listened to the YouTube video by Susan Lindauer, former CIA operative explaining the events leading up to 9/11. I believe that President Bush and his administration were responsible for the events of 9/11 and that their explanation is a cover up at the highest levels of our government and that hundreds of elected officials have been paid off for their silence on these issues!

Have always felt that our government and President Bush were involved with the destruction of the Twin Towers. His initial response on TV in the classroom was very suspicious. All of the issues that had to be in place to allow the attacks to occur is almost beyond comprehension - from intelligence to security. A major failure of government to function or some degree of planning on the part of government. Including Desert Storm.

I have seen demolitions, and this certainly looked like one, the way the buildings fell in their own footprints, blowing out beams sideways as they fell. I had a premonition before it happened when I passed a billboard advertising a new pearl harbor movie. It struck me that we were being prepped for something like this, and I said so to the person riding with me, that we would soon see a false attack followed by war. The official explanation seemed unbelievable.

It has always been incredible to me that, in spite of obviously being asymmetrically stressed by side ward impacts and explosions, both of the towers as well as Number 7 that wasn't even struck fell so symmetrically in a vertical trajectory and that the heat of the jet fuel fires burning with only natural convective airflow could have melted the steel structures. Also, very suspicious was the hastiness of the site cleanup and clearly apparent lack of real concern to perform a thorough detailed investigation before discarding the wreckage and debris.

I'm 66 years old and considered to be one of the crazies by my peers for my current beliefs on many things. I believe the truth is coming out about many wrongs that we have been fed for years. I have an extremely positive attitude about the awakening of the globe for us all and 9/11 is a huge event that has to be righted and brought to light. I'm sorry that my generation seems to be so asleep. It's great that you have included the psychologists view on the reasons for our generation's inability to see the truth. I saw the PBS show and hope more PBS stations pick it up. Montana is truly asleep. I will be buying the DVD's to show and hope to awaken some people in my state.
I've known 9/11 was a lie within a year after the fact. That was a fact that was not looked upon by anyone at the time as true. I've been ahead of the game for quite awhile and admittedly not said much as I've never been particularly understood. It's just been in the last year for me that so many things of truth are surfacing. Our truths are finally coming to the forefront.. God Bless those that are asleep, the alarm clock is ringing louder all the time.

I am not entirely sure what happened but it did not look right to me and the more I read into it the more suspect I became. BUT, all one has to do is look at the havoc that has been generated since. Just the very thought of catching 'terrorists' by the methods currently used is ludicrous. I have a friend who was in Viet Nam and was a police officer and he is going through hard times and had to take a psychology profile test for a dish washing job. Yes, 9/11 has certainly changed things and not for the better, and have we caught or created more terrorists.

I have had doubts regarding the official story of 9/11 since learning some years ago that WTC 7 collapsed due to office fires and not being struck by aircraft or major debris from the collapse of the other towers. This doubt was strengthened when the owner of WTC 7 suggested that FDNY pull the buildings.

Born and raised NY resident, traveled for family and pleasure many times to NYC. Visited the WTC and Windows on the World restaurant many times as a child and young adult and was always amazed at their size, presence and beauty. The attacks seems too sophisticated for a radical group to execute without help or support of a more strategic plan. I do have my doubts and reservations about how the buildings fell so perfectly and how they are the only three steel buildings of their size to collapse in history due to fire. Puzzled by how there were very few plane parts at any of crash sites compared to other crash sites for planes that have crashed pre/post 9/11.
