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.

My employer sent me to NY on 9/10/01 on business, and I flew into NY LaGuardia on 9/10/01 at 11:30 PM. I was in New York City on 9/11/01, so am one of millions to witness this destruction from relatively near, and remained in NY for weeks after. Knowing like many that all was surely not as it appeared, we brought in films and lecturers to Kansas City starting in 2001 in order to educate others of the need for real and impartial investigations of what is certainly a false flag event. This evil deed must not continue to go unpunished. The actual perpetrators will yet be brought to justice, and through this we can correct and adjust for our future. We the people can always handle the truth, yet most of those in power are proven irresponsible and cannot allow the truth, much less demand it. We demand an actual arms length technical investigation, outsourced to a truly independent commission, to follow to wherever the truth itself leads. We should also demand actual and thorough criminal investigations and prosecutions, starting with basic evidence from the crime scene itself.

My professional career spans twenty years working in the mechanical, electrical, and software engineering disciplines.
The most blatant evidence that virtually anyone can understand with the help of a high school science background or reasonable common sense and intelligence is the fact that a modern steel-framed building cannot collapse at free-fall speed on its original footprint without the help of high explosives. The collapse of Building 7 especially defies any other remotely plausible explanation. An unprecedented engineering failure, a symmetric and orderly collapse, and a debris field totally consistent with a controlled demolition effecting three separate structures on the same afternoon. The odds of this happening in a fashion consistent with our official government-endorsed conspiracy theory defy my imagination!

I have a B.S. in civil engineering, and I am a licensed civil engineer in the state of California. I practice in the field of structural engineering, on both new designs and retrofits.
Even to a layman, the collapse of WTC 7 looks exactly like a building demolition. If I prepared a report on a structural failure and didn't justify my results and provide full data and calculations, models and tests, I would probably get fired. Yet NIST got away with this in their report on WTC 7. A truly scientific study on the collapse of tower 7 with peer review and no agenda or political bias should be performed.

I'm grateful to AE911 truth for upholding the principles of evidence based science that are consistent with those I encountered during my early undergraduate studies and training. Their questions are my questions and I believe that the institutional ethic is undermined by its implicit endorsement of the destruction of valuable data sets, its dismissal of independent inquiry and its bad faith deployment of institutionalised science to subvert the scientific method. The negligence of a single professional, be they medical, scientific or otherwise can result in a custodial sentence. The negligence of a generation of professionals may result in the loss of faith in evidence-based engineering as a tool for good. As such I feel that AE911Truth better represent me in what I was trained to be 'science' than the institutions do at present. I trust this situation will resolve itself eventually to the benefit of all as it always does, hence my membership.

WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?

I'm just a College student who feels very strongly about this. I want the truth just like everyone else, because the people deserve it.
Nothing in the official story makes sense and every bit of evidence around leads me to only one conclusion, That WTC collapses were controlled demolitions. I'd like to trust our Government, but the families who were effected by this tragedy deserve a REAL explanation by our Government for what happened, and WHO did this to the 3,000+ people who died.

I am in the Army and remember being in the dining facility on Fort Stewart, GA and remember seeing only one building hit by a plane. By the time I got to work another plane struck the second Tower, but I remember hearing that the buildings would be able to withstand such an impact. Shortly thereafter the Towers came crumbling down. My life as a soldier was never the same again.
I believe all three World Trade towers were brought down using a mix of explosives and thermite.

Since 9/11/01, I've always wondered at the inconsistencies of the explanations for things like the molten metal, the fires that went on for weeks, the small hole firstly made in the Pentagon hit, and mostly the lack of credible response by officials when presented with inconsistencies within the official story.

I am a concerned citizen of these United States who has been studying the evidence, for many years, that clearly suggests 9/11 could only have taken place with the cooperation of very high ranking US government officials.
The evidence is overwhelming that the destruction of the 3 WTC buildings was the result of premeditated, professionally executed use of very sophisticated demolitions. The use of hijacked aircraft was but a smokescreen to hide a greater nefarious plan to create world panic, involvement in war and so many other reasons, we the public have the right to know about.

The outcome of the the 9/11 commission is by no means conclusive. Americans aren't stupid but a nationalist zeal can lead any population to bury its head in the sand rather than face uncomfortable truths. Surely so many accredited engineers and architects reaching the same kind of conclusion with just the circumstantial evidence is reason enough to hold an independent investigation.

When looking at the facts and evidence surrounding the days leading up to 9/11 and the days after I am convinced that a more independent and thorough investigation is not only necessary but essential in restoring our great Republic's well being. 9/11 changed this country's DNA and the only way it will ever return to greatness is for this one event to be investigated by a group such as A&E for Truth and its affiliates.

In my youth, I studied architecture for eight years. I am now a builder of residential room additions, and do volunteer work for local enities in my field of expertise.
In my expert analysis, it is chemically, physically, and structurally impossible for the twin towers and building seven to be completely destroyed by fire alone. Jet fuel burns at 575 degrees and office furniture burns at 550 degrees. How can high strength steel which has been certified to stand up to heat from 2000 degrees to 3000 degrees for two hours mandated by building codes, fail in an hour?? It can't. I deal with building codes every day. If steel that could have failed that easily was used, it would never have passed any codes inspections. Does the government think we are stupid?? Anyone who knew about this before it happened and were in anyway connected with it are guilty of mass murder and crimes against humanity.

Through many hundreds of hours of watching videos on youtube, feel extremely compelled that: -Somehow thermite was used to bring the towers down in a controlled demolition. -this the Pearl Harbor like event that the Project for a New American Century neocons needed to push us into the Middle East -the war in Afghanistan is to secure an oil pipeline to the Caspian Sea -the war in Iraq was for control of the oil, and to establish another base in the Middle East why- -are there so many witness reports of secondary explosions? -have I seen thermal satellite photos of large heated areas under all 3 Towers that went on for a long time after the collapse? -did WTC7 go down when it wasn't hit by a plane (and have a pool of molten metal underneath it?) -did you not want us to know about Able Danger? -did you allow the president and vice president to testify in secret, and not under oath?

I'm not an architect or an engineer, nor do I possess a higher learning degree of any kind. However, I believe that with the evidence provided by ae911truth.org, compared with the official story from the media, the NIST report, and the 9/11 Commissioned Report, one can competently play the part of juror in this case.
Based on the evidence provided by ae911truth.org, coupled with my personal, albeit uneducated perspective, it is my opinion that the three buildings that collapsed on September 11, 2001 were the result of planned demolitions and not exclusively to the plane crashes or the structural fires that ensued.

I don't have any technical education or experience. I'm just a normal person who doesn't believe what the news or official reports say is true of that day. I would like to know what really happened.
All three buildings fell perfectly into themselves. I have no experience in explosives or no knowledge of how hot metal has to be for a building to collapse, but in my eyes it didn't look right. I saw what looked like explosions coming from many different floors in many different videos before the buildings collapsed. I also watched a video from the people who built the WTC that said the material used to build the WTC was heat resistant and it shouldn't have melted or collapsed. I just don't believe the official story and I would like to know the real truth about what happened and how so many people died that day.

My degree is in biology and psychology. I've taken additional courses to get into medical school.
After taking two courses in physics, it became obvious to me that something else helped these towers collapse. Unless the laws of physics were somehow suspended in New York City that day, it is physically impossible for the towers to fall at near free fall speed with out the support columns being removed from beneath. Considering that everything was vaporized to ashes and that huge steel beams were thrown outward, controlled demolition is the best explanation for the facts.
