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.

Where is the technical information on the failure modes of the core column supports? How frequently did they buckle along their length? Where is the photographic evidence to prove it? Did they ever re-assemble one column? Were there breaks in the columns, and if so, how many, where, and where are the pictures? Was the entire site, the largest crime scene in American history, photographed in detail as it lay after the dust settled? Why does the upper section of the building crumble as it falls?

All evidence supports controlled demolition. This includes reports of multiple explosions by witnesses in and around the buildings, visual video evidence of squibs and other horizontal ejections, thermite particles found in the dust, high temperature fires in the pile, and the free fall speed of the collapse. Building 7 displays even more characteristics of controlled demolition. None of the evidence supports the towers fell due to fire and/or plane impact.

Too many things don't add up. While the hijacking of the aircraft was an excellent diversion and 'excuse' for what happened, the actual explosions and their results are not consistent with what could have happened with the aircraft alone. There is evidence of structural damage that preceeded the aircraft impacts (never explained) and the impact at the Pentagon is not consistent with the aircraft that struck there.

It appears there is more to the story than we know or are told. I recommend: Set up a panel (independent of Government) of experts who investigates and evaluates all the factors leading to this unfortunate disaster. The American Public and the entire world are entitled to know the truth. In this day and age, truth must prevail. A lot of innocent people have already been killed and incarcerated. The whole world is in much worse shape than it used to be. Therefore, it is important we know the truth about this extremely tragic incident of history.

The uniform collapse at the speed of gravity with no resistance seems impossible to me without controlled demolition. I also question how massive steel structural members found embedded in buildings as far as 600' away can be accounted for without having an initial blast force to propel them horizontally.

Graduated from the University of Newcastle, Australia in Civil Engineering in 1998. have worked on hundreds of infrastructure projects in Australia, Norway, USA and Canada over the last 20 years.
It has become very obvious over the years that the 3 buildings collapsed in free fall in what can only be a controlled demolition. For a fire to have simultaneously melted all columns causing collapse from one floor and then to another is physically impossible. That the 3 buildings are the only structural steel buildings to have ever collapsed in such a manner in history and all on the same day is reason enough to raise questions about the accuracy of the original investigation. For the sake of the freedom of humanity, questions need to be answered and people must be held accountable to discover the truth of what occurred on 9/11/2001.

I would like to know the real truth of the WTC destruction. When I saw the original film of the towers pancaking down, there were little wisps of smoke as each floor dropped onto the next. The next time I saw the same clip, the smoke was gone.

The more I learn about the events of the day based on the 9/11 commission report, the more frightening the realization is that we've been lied to by our own government. I hope there is pressure to hold the Bush administration accountable for the damage they've done by hiding the truth.

The very first images on TV that day did not look right when both buildings collapsed in a few seconds .The fires would have burnt themselves out or been extinguished by the firefighters. The structures below should have remained intact. It just looked suspicious on the day it happened.

It doesn't take a scientist to see that the twin towers and the building that was not hit by planes (Bldg 7) came down due to demolition explosives, not fires within the buildings. There are many questions regarding what actually happened to these buildings as well as the Pentagon. Explanations by the government have never made any sense and its time for a real (honest) investigation.

The video evidence shows building collapses which are inconsistent with the reasoning given in the official report, and they appear to be consistent with the patterns of controlled demolition.No skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire, and the fires did not burn hot enough to melt or weaken steel. Furthermore the presence of molten steel and high temperatures recorded at the site suggest that devices other than airplanes were responsible for bringing down the towers.Numerous firemen and policemen reported multiple explosions throughout the building.

There has been so much evidence, not only caught on tape but confirmed by intellectual people including Engineers and Architects who believe, as do I, that the story given to the American people was a lie. This is disgraceful not only to the public but to the immediate family who have been given this lie. There is no closure to these families. I do not trust a government that lies to its people for personal gain. Make the American people trust once again. Let them know that the truth will be finally admitted. It is not too late. Thank you.

I have seen many recordings from various angles of the WTC from that fateful 9/11. Also, I have watched videos from countless engineers who insist that steel buildings just do not fall in the manner the WTC did -- and to confirm, I've watched footage of steel buildings burning for days before even starting to crumble. And I have questions about why Building 7 was brought down. An independent investigation should be conducted and the truth be brought to the public. After all, that incident catapulted our country to the never-ending war that we and other countries live with still today.

I am a private citizen who has grave questions about 9/11. I am informed as to building construction and demolition thru my own personal studies and basic architecture classes.
There is No Doubt in my mind that what I saw on 9/11 was a Controlled Demolition. I know enough about how skyscrapers are built to know that no plane and diesel fuel, thats what jet fuel is, could take down the Steel and Concrete structures designed the way those buildings were. It is way past time for the TRUTH to be known. I fully support a Clear Independent Investigation into 9/11.

Too much evidence exists to dismiss 9/11 the way it has been handled in NIST. Too much. The public demands re-investigation, or...the first investigation that never took place. This is no 'Michael Jackson is Alive!' conspiracy. This is hard evidence and fact being hidden and swept under the rug to save face. Barry Jennings? Explosions? Building 7? Open up 9/11!!!

On September 11, 2001, when the announcer said that a plane had just hit one of the World Trade Center towers, and they didn't know whether it was a commercial airliner or a private plane, my immediate response was, 'Well, that's a no brainer. If it was a commercial airliner, you would know.' I explained to the other employees in the break room that I had both military and FAA experience and that there was a policy in place that if a commercial airliner was off course, FAA would notify NORAD who would scramble a fighter to investigate. The news would surely be in the loop. Soon after, the announcer and a reporter were conversing about if the tower had 'collapsed yet.' 'Huh?' There was obviously not enough damage for the tower to completely collapse into itself. But it did, shortly after the prediction. Another 'Huh?' I smelled fish from the git go.

Available evidence indicates that the official story is seriously flawed. The scientific validity and volume of this evidence warrants a new investigation.
