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 graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. I went on to design pipelines, facility stations and compressor units and then worked with hydraulic flow analysis software for gas and liquids. I have been working in the oil and gas industry for over seven years now.
One does not need to be an engineer to see the twin towers and building 7 could not fall at free-fall speed without extra energy. The media kept saying steel does not need to melt (2750F) in order to be weaken to fall. The max temp of jet fuel of ~1350F, (fire was black, so ~300-600F, most of the fuel burned outside). At ~1600F, steel holds 50% of it's strength. And, I have read that skyscrapers are designed 10 times stronger than physically required. So, impossible even if you grant the highest jet fuel temperature. It is evident to the most simple-minded person that studies it for any length of time that it was completed by the government. Rumsfield stated on 9/10 that they 'lost' track of $2.3 trillion dollars. And, the Pentagon was hit in the very department that held on the staff and computers for audits. Now come on.

The official study of the cause of the WTC destruction is clearly inadequate, as it is doubtful that aircraft could cause the towers to free fall into their own footprint without controlled demolition. Also, Building 7 was clearly too far away from the twin towers to have been destroyed by the collapse of the towers. Cell phone calls from passengers lacked air cabin background noise, suggesting that the aircraft landed elsewhere and the calls were made from the ground, not to mention that cell calls from moving high-altitude aircraft is highly problematic. Finally, the fact that all debris was hurriedly and illegally removed before a thorough forensic study is highly suspicious, pointing to an 'inside job'.

The symmetrical collapse, implosion and nearly free fall of the 3 WTC towers, WTC 7 was not hit by a Boeing, strongly suggest a controlled demolition job on these buildings. The Boeing airplanes with their fuel alone, could not have caused the downfall of the 2 WTC Twin towers, which were steel-metal, framed buildings.

I wasn't very old at the time (age of 9), so I don't remember much of the actual event, but I remember always being suspicious, and now the evidence is more than overwhelming. Americans (and the rest of the world, really) have a right to know what happened on the day, analyzed through completely unbiased, scientific ways.

I, like so many people, believed wholeheartedly what our government and so called media had told us to believe that fateful day on Sept. 11th. I was glued to the TV all day and couldn't wait for the evil Muslim terrorists of the world to get what was coming to them. sigh .. It wasn't until I got online one day and heard someone speak out against everything that I THOUGHT I believed in, that I woke up to the truth! I remember spending days and days watching videos and reading blogs and articles that clearly, without a doubt, showed how the buildings did not just fall down because of planes crashing through..ugh! It was a planned demolition. I am now one of the millions of people who are demanding that the world know the truth! I gladly sign this petition! Thank you for all you are doing!!

I am a late-forties American who always hopes for the best in man and government, but sometimes we have to deal with the truth. I generally do not buy into conspiracy theories, do not believe in anything (ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc) until I see it with my own eyes. (None has happened so far.) But the scientific evidence in the 9/11 scenario really makes me want to support a new investigation. The initial 9/11 investigation just does not add up. Time to get an international and objective team in to go over it all.

I have no formal engineering background. I have designed and built many ICF (insulated concrete form) buildings. When I say 'design', I actually design the steel reenforcing concrete for those structures and have a licensed structural engineer sign off on the design for permitting.
I know how concrete, and especially steel reenforced concrete, react to loads. I know that what happened to those buildings is a scientific impossibility! I saw 20 or 30 of the top floors of one of those buildings begin to topple over and know that it should have continued because the building below it was still sound and should have forced it to continue falling. Instead, every floor had to have been completely destroyed to allow it to cease its momentum and begin falling straight down. Again, I am no engineer, but I do know the basic laws of motion.

A qualitative understanding of what is meant by 'gravitational collapse' should be enough to convince anyone who has seen the various videos of the destruction of the World Trade Center that something is horribly amiss with the official narrative. In addition, the fact that steel evidence was largely destroyed and that the little steel evidence that was preserved and analyzed does not support the official narrative (FEMA Appendix C, NIST metallurgical tests) is more than enough confirmation that a fraudulent 'official' investigation has been perpetrated.

I knew immediately that cool burning jet fuel would never anneal, much less pulverize into dust, a structure which Leslie Robertson, the chief engineer of the team that designed the Towers, said 'We considered the possibility that an airliner could strike the Towers due to fog and we designed them to withstand such an event'. The airliner they used for their work was the heavy as a hog Boeing 707. The 707 was made from an aluminum/copper alloy. They used so much fuel that the airlines almost gave them away to the Saudis when the new generation using the aluminum zinc alloys came out. Ten of the 19 hijackers are alive and well, although bewildered. The people studying how Rumsfeld could just lose a trillion dollars were one floor above impact. No aircraft struck the Pentagon, nor did one crash at Shanksville. I am bewildered by the photograph from the news chopper, a straight in photo in one of the Towers, and I see nothing but a big hole. When a plane hit the Empire State building the street was full of things like tail parts for example. Don't forget the hapless reports informing us that the Solomon building (WTC Bldg. 7) collapsed 20 minutes before it did from, um, 'falling debris'. The Patriot Act was our nation's response to this act of terror but it was drafted prior to 9-11. I could go on for hours about the things that just did not make sense but am out of time.

I've have always had doubts about the 9/11 events. It is obvious from videos that those buildings came down exactly the same as planned demolitions. The odds of that happening three times in a row is infinitesimal at the very least. Free Speech TV ran a video today (10/2/13 - courtesy of Thom Hartmann) of your conference. The details and presentation of facts are very convincing as well as the audios of those on scene. The view of the lobby with the blown out windows, yet no evidence of fire damage, was especially enlightening. Thank you.

I find it very disheartening to see the way our government handled this situation. I feel that it makes my fellow countrymen appear to be fools to the rest of the world, for accepting such behavior from our government, on this and many other subjects. Our rights are being stripped away, 3 wars have been started based on a lie, without consent from congress, and our government is becoming a dictatorship. In America I have found that citizens are considered to be a traitor for being skeptical. We are mocked for requiring that evidence be presented. Critical thinking is scorned, with regard to governmental action.People need to care. We must not have an apathetic attitude toward our government, and we must assemble and stand together!The deceit that occurred on 9/11 was the beginning of something much greater. It has become the norm for our government to lie to us, and to deceive us, and it is becoming more and more clear that they do not have our benefit in mind!We must examine the motive for the cover up, not just the fact that the truth was covered up. I feel that the motive may be the most terrifying part of the whole ordeal, and I don't make any claim to having the answer, though I do have a general idea. Skepticism toward our government can no longer carry the taboo that it has for so long, or we will find ourselves in an Orwellian society that none of us could ever desire! We want freedom and justice, don't we?
