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'm educated as a mechanical engineer as bachelor of engineering, currently I'm technical advisor in tailor made machines and also responsible for structural calculations.
It is obvious that the attacks didn't collapse the building. Apart from the view that jet fuel doesn't melt steel (let alone the very little amount of fuel with respect to the the vast amount of massive steel), there were sub street level explosions before the buildings came down.

Own and operate small engineering firm specializing in structural engineering for over 12 years. Have a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Washington State University with an emphasis in structures. I have a very good understanding of how buildings are constructed and how they behave under the influence of outside forces. Most buildings are constructed with redundancies so that they don't collapse catastrophically.
It is virtually impossible for WTC building 7 to collapse as it did with the influence of sporadic fires. This collapse HAD to be planned. For the twin towers, it seems odd that both buildings came down the exact same way. Also, someone made a comment the buildings were designed to implode downward. For me more information is needed here because I don't design high rise structures but it would seem odd that engineers would design in a buildings destruction. That's why explosives are used.

There is too little potential energy in the 'mass above' of the WTCs to overcome the strain energy of the structure below to cause any collapse of any kind as suggested by NIST. This is basic structural damage analysis!

As Richard Gage and Donald Meserlian have made abundantly clear, the collapse of the three buildings at New York's World Trade Center did not occur to the crashes of planes in two of the three buildings. The evidence of thermite demonstrates indisputable that more than planes, more than jet plane fuel, was involved in the demolishing of the three buildings. The questions are first, exactly what brought the buildings down; and exactly who, other than al Qaeda attackers, was responsible for the tragedies; and finally, why was this done. For the sake of our country, the government must allow an independent investigation of 9/11 in New York.

I have been an Arizona State Senator for four years. Before that I served in the AZ House of Representatives for 8 years. Don't ask me how this happened -- I much prefer being a mother and homemaker. My husband, Jerry, and I have 11 children and 33 grandchildren. But I am concerned that our Constitution is being whittled away in small pieces and that we are at a critical point in our history, especially with the events of 9/11. So I find myself neck-deep in politics. I hope I have done some good.
More than six years after 9/11, we still have not had a thorough investigation of the causes of that tragedy. I am so impressed by the research of Dr. Steven Jones, Frank Legge, Tony Szamboti, David Ray Griffin, and so many others. My concern deepens every time I read a new article. As the evidence of controlled demolition mounts, my desire for a new investigation increases. I want to add my voice to the voices of AE for 911 Truth.

Keep going people many of us are pushing the facts and educating the public on 9/11 an inside job.
Fire Dept records show there was never an inferno in the 2 big Towers, via Thermal imaging cameras or that WTC7 had any significant fires at all. Eye witness testimony from William Rodriguez... the 160 scientific papers showing the WTC Towers were all dropped with thermite and explosives.

It's absolutely ridiculous to claim that the three collapses weren't a controlled demolition. You don't need to be an engineer nor an architect to clearly see the contrary. It's just insane to deny all the undoubted evidence and it really annoys me to hear all this propaganda they feed us. Engineers and architects signed here, I'm a big fan of you and I believe that the truth will come out one day. Actually, for many of us here, it already has.

While I watched the live, televised footage and wondering if my brother was safe, I thought to myself as the first Tower went down: 'Oh my God, they're imploding them!' I have never seen a burning building collapse straight down like that. Then the second one did the exact same thing. I was aghast.

We are witnessing the rebirth of the old national manifest- destiny myth. 9/11 was an act of machiavellian state terror, meant to legitimize in the eyes of the public a wave of hitlerian wars of agression which endanger the survival of our species.

I have been researching this for seven years,. Yes it's all real. I was in a group chat with some architects and engineers who were pointing out lots of facts that prove the collapse of the Twin Towers, Building 7, and the pentagon was wrong.
It was proven a controlled demolition. There was thermite found in the ash, and there was molten liquid coming out of the back of the building.

When I viewed the AE911Truth videos I was very shocked to see the evidence of thermite that was found in the WTC dust, and the ridiculous claims that Building 7 collapsed because of fire. I think of all the many innocent lives that were lost on that day.

I am an avid reader and self taught on many issues. As a child, the magic bullet theory in the Kennedy assassination never made sense to me and I began researching that in my pre-teens. The more research I did into our government, (no matter the subject) the more corrupt they proved themselves to be, ie: The Gulf of Tonkin, the 1953 Iranian Coup, The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Operation Northwoods, Iran Contra, etc, etc, etc...

I, as many others, am completely at awe with what happened on 9/11. There are so many unanswered questions that I feel should have been answered by now. The fact that three well built buildings were reduced to complete rubble on the same day within the few hours that it took, is completely absurd. I have seen the footage and there has to be foul play behind this entire incident. The government should open its doors freely for a thorough investigation to ease the suspicion that this was an inside job. Only those who have something to hide have trouble answering simple questions.

I am not an engineer, but modern skyscrapers should not collapse when hit by airplanes. Nor should they collapse from office fires within them. I appreciate the architects and engineers who can say this with factual explanations and who are willing to do it. NIST has lied and mainstream media have not spoken out. There is damage to our democracy which can probably only be remedied by a popular groundswell of voices urging investigation. The families of all who died in the 9/11 disasters deserve truth.

Alas ... It is a sad commentary on our country, to have waited over 12 years, with all of the really intelligent well-educated people, many of whom know the story and effects of physics, and demolition . . . to have only recently come out of the World Trade Centers' closets ... only now are beginning to rethink the travesty of such untruthful consequences, resulting in our stumbling through two wars.

I was in my sophomore year in high school when I saw the planes hit the Twin Towers. Years later my girlfriend provided me with some materials she was researching on 9/11 Truth and I began to see there were too many disparities and holes in the official story. I have questioned the official narrative ever since.
It is not conducive to reality that 3 steel enforced structures fell into their own footprint; especially WTC7 that was not hit by a plane at all. 9/11 needs to be re-investigated to provide real justice to the victims, their families and the millions of Iraqi and Afghan civilian's that died in the name of this tragedy.

Since 2002 I take interest in studying the events of 9/11. The skyscraper destruction has always been the 'easier' subject to look at because of the various videos available on that. - - I always found questioning the 'mushroom way' the two Towers exploded. More obvious was the WTC7 fall. My eyes (and my ears !) were opened with the movie '9/11 Eyewitness' and the audio files study that the author does. At this time, I said 'Ok, this demolition was planned, there's no other way'. Plus, all the explosions and witness accounts we can hear on the TV from this day and after. - - Your present research and results are what we were waiting on for so long. Thanks for the job and courage!

I am just a member of society with little scientific background other than I have a Bachelor's degree in Business. I have studied secret societies and subversive movements from the Bible. I have investigated many conspiracies and sifted through the many conspiracy 'theories' to which there is no evidence and the many conspiracy 'facts' to which there is a heap of evidence and 9/11 is the easiest conspiracy to prove and the most obvious one I have ever come across.
Common sense tells you that steel buildings would NEVER fall the way the Twin Towers fell without military grade explosives. This was obviously an inside job. No other explanation makes any sense whatsoever.
