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 have been a consulting engineer for 20 years. My main area of expertise is in land development and infrastructure design. I have had some limited exposure to structural design of bridges and small structures.
As an engineer it is hard to refute the evidence that this appears to have been a controlled demolition. It seems to me that there were just too many things that had to occur at exactly the same time for the collapse to have occurred solely from a plane hit.

I'm an aerospace engineer. This isn't just a conspiracy theory. The engineering of how WTC 7 fell is absolutely impossible. When I say absolutely I mean the numbers are 1 in a trillion likely. This is the only steel building to ever fall from fire alone in the history of humanity and that's because it wasn't really only fire. It had 26 columns. The fire would have had to melt all 26 columns within a second of each other in order to create the engineering situation that takes the building to the ground at the speed of freefall gravity meaning no resistance from the support beams while falling. This is not a conspiracy theory.....it is scientific fact. Who did it and why we may never know.... it was absolutely without a doubt brought down by demolition at 5 o'clock pm on 9/11.

The official story doesn't match the evidence. In particular the damage of an outer load bearing steel structure through a thin aluminium sheet metal plane is not likely. Furthermore the acceleration (and disintegration) of the upper part of the building is clear evidence of a controlled demolition (compare also videos of failed controlled demolitions where the upper half is still standing).

I have seen on TV commercial buildings collapse under controlled demolition prior to 911. I have been told that no certified US demolition companies will comment officially on 911. I personally saw and heard in real time 2 firemen (one dirty and exhausted, seated outside on a low brick garden wall) and another just reporting for action - nice and clean. Both were looking at Building 7 in the near background (1 block?) away and to the question for the exhausted one by the fresh one regarding its status the exhausted one looked at his watch and said as clearly as I can remember, Its going down about 4:30! I didn't think too much about it at the time but now I think about it a lot whenever 911 comes up!

I have a Bachelors of Applied Science in civil engineering. I am an intelligent person with a solid educational foundation in the physical sciences.
The nature of the buildings' collapses alone raises so many questions from the perspective of scientific plausibility that I believe it justifies another better, sensible and comprehensive examination of how precisely the towers collapsed. Add to that additional doubts about so many other aspects of the 9/11 official narrative (from whether the President saw the first tower hit on TV to how terrorists could take such advantage of the surfeit of war games on that day), and I think there's no doubt we're in need of serious inquiry.

No steel skyscraper has ever collapsed from fire or, when collapsing, has been pulverized into a fine powder. The pancaking theory does not hold up, since we witnessed all 3 buildings collapse at the speed of gravity, and that would mean that there was no resistance as the floors were falling one on top of each other.

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.

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.
