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.

Near-freefall collapse violates laws of physics. Fire induced collapse is not consistent with observed collapse mode, lack of aircraft debris at Pentagon site leaves official story in tatters.

It is time for a full, ethical, responsible, and independent review of what happened that day. There is clear scientific, video, and first hand evidence that suggests that the collapse was caused by a controlled demolition. The truth needs to be told. Publicly and transparently.

I have a BS in Computer Engineering from Tufts University Engineering School. I believe that everything has a scientific explanation, and anything that defies a scientific explanation is either bad science or something that is not yet conventional science. In other words, if science can't explain it, either the effect is something that exceeds current methods of scientific measure or your data is bad and/or your assumptions are incorrect.
Seeing that the collapse of all three WTC structures can be explained with classical chemistry and Newtonian physics, any evidence of molten steel would indicate that a form of combustion much hotter than the burning of jet fuel caused the failure of the steel structure. When approaching maximum oxidation efficiency, such as in the inside of a jet engine, jet fuel will burn at close to 1500 'C, however, fuel burning under normal atmospheric conditions, even with significant updraft, could burn no hotter than 1000-1100 'C. The melting point of high carbon steel is about 1350' C, depending on the specific alloy. Even with prolonged exposure to the the heat of that burn could cause steel to weaken enough for it to bend and collapse under its own weight, it would not produce 'rivers of molten steel'. That sounds more like something that would have been exposed to a much hotter flame for a short duration, such as thermite. A rapid burn would also better explain the collapse that resembles that of a demolition. It stands to reason that if the twin towers failed due to steel failure due to heat, it would have fallen at an angle as it would seem highly unlikely that the entire structure at the burn floor would fail simultaneously. What is harder to explain is the notion that the collapse of the twin towers not only caused the fire at 7 WTC, but that it was enough of a fire for the building to collapse as though it were demolished as well. Finally, there is the cold fact that none of the gold which was in the reserve at 7 WTC was recovered. Gold doesn't disappear regardless of whether it was melted or not. Put simply, there are just too many 'strange' facts in this incident for the standing explanation to be acceptable by any person of science, regardless of discipline. The fact that the report was rushed and debris was removed from the site with what can only be described as haste, one has to think there is more to the story. A lot more.

I was 13 at the time when WTC collapsed and I had no reason not to believe the information media were providing me. But as I went to study architecture and started to receive the basic knowledge of building mechanics and materials, I realized that buildings like these can't be this fragile and that the official story is truly doubtful. New, proper investigation is necessary.

I have personally attended 3 implosions, and was on a professional video team at the implosion of a bank building here in Honolulu where I was even struck by a hot fragment from a shape charge. I have been a mechanic for 25 years and though not a scientist I have a fundamental understanding of the behavior of metal, and the effect impact and heat have on it. Even with out all the wonderful information on the construction design of World Trade 1 and 2 and building 7 I felt the way they collapsed was certainly a controlled implosion. I also always thought it odd that there were so many well placed video cameras aimed at the Towers that morning.

Since college, I worked in the health care and construction industries, before contracting cancer and being placed on disability. Now I dedicate myself, full time, to Liberty activism.
With my working knowledge of physics, I know a steel structure, namely Bldg 7, cannot fall at free fall or close to free fall speed, indicating no resistance, without the use of explosives in a controlled demolition. Also, I have seen video of molton steel dripping from Bldg's 1 and 2 which indicates to me the use of thermite or even nano-thermite, military grade. Also, the angle of the steel columns indicate 'cutting' which occurs with controlled demolition and thermite. Also, the owner of Bldg 7, I believe within a week of the demolition, bought insurance on the building, and was seen on TV explaining there was a decision to pull the building. There is no way the official 9/11 Commission report is correct in it's findings, when they did not even use the scientific method in their research and look at this simple evidence.

I got interested because of the polls showing an international opinion of over 50% believing it wasn't terrorists. When I saw this I felt the government had a responsibility to prove the case. When they didn't and wouldn't, I did an investigation of my own. I used my ability to trouble shoot situations where the investigator is even presented with lies, which is often the case, to conclude the buildings did not come down from fire or the damage from planes. The Silvestein interview was the first bad data point concerning the situation. Then I found more than I needed to support my theory beyond any doubt.

Yahweh once said through King Solomon, The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him (Prov 18:17, NASB). The unwillingness of the federal government to allow third-party examination of the 9/11 events and evidence raises many red flags in my mind. I find the inside job arguments, especially those pertaining to building 7, to be cogent.

I find the collapse of the Twin Towers very troubling, and that would be enough for me to be suspicious. But the collapse of WTC 7 is what turns a suspicion into full blown skepticism. I simply do not believe that building could have come down without any assistance. And that's with no scientific experience. If science didn't back me up, I'd probably believe the 9/11 Commission. But science not only supports my belief, but proves the official story is 100% wrong.

There are way too many unanswered questions. NIST acknowledges Building 7 fell at near freefall speed. How could that be? NIST also would not disclose the data used to create their computer model showing it was a collapse sighting public safety. Wouldn't releasing that information help to prevent future collapses and uphold the integrity of the investigation? Why wasn't there any preservation of the evidence? Why did they not test for explosives when there were hundreds of documented accounts of explosions? Why was there molten iron videotaped pouring from the Towers and present at Ground Zero over a month after 9/11? How could the 9/11 commission fail to mention Building 7? I personally believe these questions have remained unanswered because to honestly answer these questions means to include the probability of controlled demolition.

My prayer is to see a bright future for all of my loved ones.
My questions began on 9/11/01. How could a cave dwelling terrorist accomplish such precision in the obviously well planned operation that was carried out? And then, why on earth was the resulting retaliation misdirected to Iraq? I bought and read the 9/11 Commission Report when it came out. It was then that I first found a website casting doubt on the official story. It was as plain as the nose on my face in initial videos of the Towers collapsing that the media was not reporting the truth. No one listened to my ranting and raving back then, so I shelved my concerns. Now I am retired and have begun to pick these issues up again. Of the scores of video I have watched, I am most appreciative of the professionalism and scientific method for which your organization has approached this subject.

I have many concerns as to how the buildings fell. How do 3 steel frame buildings fall into their own foot print at free fall speeds, in a couple of hours by fire alone? There are many examples of steel frame buildings burning for hours on end, even 10+ hours that have not fallen. If the twin towers fell down due to fire, shouldn't they have broken around the impact points and the tops just fall off? How does the top 1/4 of the building have enough power to simply smash through the other 3/4 of the building all the way down to the first floor?

I was 16 when 9/11 happened. For almost 12 years I firmly believed that a small group of Jihad Muslims were behind that unforgettable attack that claimed almost 3,000 lives on that day and the aftermath that is still claiming lives today. I continued doing research because the story the government told just wasn't adding up especially the explanation given to why Towers 1, 2 and 7 fell. Still I couldn't believe that our government could be behind something of this caliber. It wasn't until I learned of Operation Northwoods that completely changed my mind.

I studied the Twin Towers in an art history class in college.
First of all, it doesn't take a genius to see that the way the Towers fell into their own footprint just doesn't make sense. The floors below where the planes hit would be unaffected, made no sense that the entire buildings just collapsed. I knew something was very deceiving the instant they fell. Common sense tells you that the buildings collapsing had nothing to do with the airplanes that hit them. What I still don't understand is why millions of otherwise intelligent New Yorkers refuse to see the obvious fact that this entire incident was the US government, not some Middle Eastern terrorist group.

Thermite was found in dust from the buildings thanks to these independent non US government studies. How on earth was enough thermite allowed in the WTC towers and possibly in Tower 7?

From the very day of the disaster, I have harbored doubts about the official reports of all the events that took place. The collapse of both Towers seemed inordinate. The subsequent collapse of 7WTC, to me, was the smoking gun that that turned the so-called reasons behind the entire disaster into a pack of lies. The way the building rubble was so quickly hauled away and sold overseas seemed to scream of sinister activity. All of the eye-witness accounts about explosions seemed to be totally ignored by the so-called investigators. The statement by the owner of 7WTC that we decided to pull it was a confession that nobody heard.

As I watched the 9/11 events unfold live on television, I knew the true story would never be told. At the time I thought it would be used as an excuse for war. It wasn't until I saw the Patriot Act unfold that I knew that war would be against the American people. I am outraged that the events, even if they had occurred as presented, have been used to turn the entire planet into a prison planet.
