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.

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.

Collapse of the three high-rise buildings on 11 Sept 2001 seems improbable as a sole consequence of the airplanes striking the two world trade center buildings. The circumstances of building 7 failing in the same manner as the twin towers is even more improbable. Photographs and video of the impact area on the Pentagon show little evidence of the airplane that reportedly struck the building.

I am a recent graduate of middle Tennessee state university, located in Murfreesboro.
In 2002, I submitted a research paper on the collapse of the Twin Towers. My conclusion was that the fires caused by the colliding passenger planes could not have generated the very high temperature necessary to weaken the concrete-reinforced steel columns. I cited examples from books written about CDI (Controlled Demolition, Inc.) to illustrate parallels between the Twin Towers' collapse and standard controlled demolitions.

I specialize in Digital Electronic Design, which has nothing to do with Structural Engineering, however, Physics is Physics and it doesn't take a genius to see the truth in the proof.
AE911Truth.org has done a tremendous job and service to true Americans and the American way to objectively and clearly state the dramatic contradictory evidence to the official 911 government storybook fable. The fact that the information is coming from degreed and licensed professionals in the Architecural and Structural Engineering community provides a level of credibility that will hopefully propel the issue into the public spotlight. I was skeptical until I recently read about the nano-thermite particles independently found in the WTC dust remnants. Coupled with the facts: that NIST did not test for thermite or explosives; NIST avoids the thermite discussion; and the pancaking collapse of the 3 buildings that looks exactly like a controlled Las Vegas style hotel demolition; denial seems impossible. NIST officials should be indicted.

In October 2018, I viewed the video '9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out' and, as an engineer with over 34 years of experience conducting engineering investigations, designs, and construction, I was appalled by the inadequate scientific and forensic investigation conducted to evaluate the 9/11 building collapses. The observational data alone easily disproves the collapse theory put forth by the U.S. government. The citizens of the U.S. deserve a full and open investigation with the entire process peer-reviewed by appropriate unbiased experts.

I am absolutely convinced, based on the pattern of structural collapse, the positive results for nano-thermite by Dr. Neils Harrit in his oft-cited paper, and the suspicious behavior of the government during and after the official investigation, that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down via controlled demolition. A separate, publicly funded investigation is necessary to catch the true culprits of this vicious crime.

I have no formal education in the field of engineering, but I do have lots of common sense and in my mind the explanation we were given just did not seem right.
As I watched the Towers collapsing on 9/11 I was shocked. In the days following, as I continued to watch the events, a deep nagging doubt grew inside me that we were not being told the whole truth about the collapsing Twin Towers. I did not even know anything about Building 7 until I discovered your site which has only enhanced my doubts that truths were being withheld from us.

To me the video showing the buildings falling looked very much like a controlled demolition. I do not think an airplane alone could take down a building in its entirety the way the towers fell. An airplane strike would probably just burn at the top and then eventually burn out.

When I first saw the buildings fall in 2011, I knew something was wrong. The destruction was not chaotic enough to be caused by the planes. If it had been the planes, the buildings would have been pushed sideways by the force of the planes' impact, but they weren't.

I am a Teaching Artist specializing in Theatre-in-Education. I am currently caring for my elderly father and attending university as a mature age Honors student at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. I have been an actor, theatre director and teaching artist for the last thirty years of my life. I recently completed an Undergraduate BA degree at the University of Western Sydney. I have taught English/Drama/Shakespeare/Music/Stage Combat in a wide variety of educational settings including in the US as a theatre practitioner in Brooklyn (Bedford Styvesant) and around NYC for The Shakespeare Project Inc. I worked for The Bell Shakespeare Company in Sydney from 2002 - 2005. I have produced theatrical productions/performances with people from Kindergarten age to late adulthood - over the last thirty years. I am currently writing an Honors thesis on 'Closed Adoption' in Australia and intend continuing my on-going education to PhD upon completion of my Honors degree.
Until the Ten Year Anniversary of September 11th 2001, although I had often 'felt' uneasy about the media driven explanation for the events of 9/11, I had not ever followed through on investigating the source of my uneasy feelings. In November 2011, I saw a documentary - 'Zero: An Investigation into 9/11' - and since then I have been researching the destruction - NOT THE COLLAPSE - of the Twin Towers and Building 7 of the WTC, NYC. I lived and worked in NYC from Feb 1998 - June 2001 and I loved being in NY. It is clear to me that the truth about what brought down all three WTC buildings on Sept 11, 2001 have been covered up by governments all over the world. It is obvious from the scientific evidence - brought to light by Dr Steven Jones almost two years ago - that all three WTC buildings were brought down by explosives. This is CLEAR to the naked eye - but confirmed by scientific evidence - the Twin Towers exploded into dust as they came down which is impossible to achieve without explosives. Active thermate residue found in the dust of the exploded towers and Bld 7 is the evidence ignored (covered up) by the US government and all western governments. One only has to watch the footage of the Twin Towers 'collapsing' to witness the explosive power of thermate - silently blowing apart tonnes of concrete, steel, glass and human bodies. Thus, said bodies, concrete and glass were destroyed - disintegrated - indistinguishable - in the remains - just twisted steel at ground zero. THIS IS THE TRUTH - the buildings were brought down by explosives so powerful - so silent - that all concrete and over one thousand people - were completely destroyed. This was no 'collapse' but an act of terrorism that has been covered up for nearly twelve years. It is time this act of terrorism was exposed! Release the truth of 9/11 - Thermate and explosives brought down the buildings and killed nearly 3,000 people!

I have always been open-minded and after having worked for a college of natural medicine for over 8 years I started learning about many things our government is doing and feel that we, as citizens and taxpayers, have a right to know the truth.
I do believe that the truth is not being told to us by our government. I have had 11 years to review all the scientific facts that have come up over the years and it breaks my heart that our government, those that are expected to keep us safe, are in the middle of this devious cover up.

The day it happened I was having a beer with a USAF person watching the news and I asked him if the site of the airliner that supposedly was brought down by the brave passengers looked like a crash site to him? He said no, it didn't. I realized when the Buildings came down into their own footprints that it was an orchestrated event of demolition. I had been through The Kennedy assassination baloney, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, et. al. and I was amazed by the gullibility of most people I spoke to.

I am a normal, concerned citizen who has no conspiracy theories about 9/11.
I remember thinking on 9/11 that it seemed strange that two enormous steel towers would collapse down so quickly and cleanly, but then I accepted the official story and did not think about it again. Not until Sept 11, 2012 (11 years later), when I saw Explosive Evidence did I remember that strange feeling of doubt I had initially at seeing a tower collapse because of a single airplane. And I had never heard of Building 7 until the documentary -- and this information made me question further the legitimacy of the NIST report. I am not a conspiracy theorist at all -- I just think an independent report is needed, and soon. But, even I can see that the evidence shows that the NIST report has wrong and inaccurate elements.

I am a 47 year-old translator. For almost 13 years, I have worked for a company that engineered and produced steel cutting machines and related equipment.

I have thus rather extensive knowledge with respect to steel cutting and what it takes to make this material bend or melt.
You don't have to be an expert (e.g. architect or engineer), and you don't even have to have the knowledge that I gathered in my job - you just need common sense to figure out that the official version cannot be correct. An office fire - even if there are plenty of them in one building - could never melt steel. All three buildings came down straight, too perfectly and too quickly, i.e. without any resistance. For 11 years now, I have been extremely troubled by these mysterious events of 9/11. My view of the world has changed since then - not for better.

When I heard the evening news report that Building 7 had collapsed with no near proximity to the Twin Towers I knew that all was not well in our nation. I knew that there would be a report with little explanation for such an anomaly. To this day there is no satisfactory truth-bearing explanation.
