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.

Did research on nano Al/FexO etc nano layers produced by physical vapor deposition for Joining applications and former student at Dartmouth. After completing his PhD formed a company to produce nano composites. It was immediately obvious from examination of dust from all three towers that nano materials were used to damage the floors after aircraft impact resulting in smoke clouds of Al2O3 + micron spherical Fe particles. Also the supporting columns were cut using nano thermite.

I was very young when I watched the 9/11 attacks, but it was one of my first memories, and it will stick with me forever. I thankfully did not have any friends or family perish in the attacks, but I knew many families that were impacted. I was always very suspicious of the explanations provided by the government led commissions. The evidence available at this point disproves much of what the commission has stated. It is imperative that there be a real investigation of what happened that day, for the sake of the families and the legacy we leave for generations to come.

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.

I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

After watching a PBS video I am convinced that the Twin Towers and WTC #7 were packed with internal explosives that led to their implosion. I think an independent investigation needs to be conducted based on scientific facts and eye witness accounts of why these buildings fell and so quickly. Why #7, who was not hit by an airplane also imploded.

If you apply much of the so-called logic, so-called science and so-called expert advice as to the government position on 9/11 Twin Towers destruction, then how do you explain Building 7 falling as it did other then by professional demolition, logically speaking? It seemed more like 'just because' science, reasoning and logic made by just because professional experts. I think these same people could make a case for pigs flying in heaven. On 9/11 I remember thinking, after seen the Pentagon in smoke allegedly hit by a plane, where was the debris and human carnage?

I lived in the US for more than 10 years so its people are dear to my heart. However if the US can't begin to accept its actions and place in the world as a whole, what hope is there for societies that are supposedly less open?

WTC7 has been destructed intentionally. It cannot be otherwise. People just have to take a few minutes to see the video of collapse and hear the comments. AE911 truth is the last chance to make people wakened. Everybody must help by transffering the petition to friends and family. I hope to see the final act before I die.

There is enough evidence to demand a re-investigation into what happened on the 11 of September 2001. Any government in a democracy has a responsibility to serve the best interests of its people and therefore the demand for a new investigation can simply not be ignored if there are enough citizens demanding for it to happen. The American government needs to understand that the truth will never go away until it has been surfaced. Coming from England I feel their needs to be a worldly campaign in order to get enough people talking about this new investigation, and if that happens then the media will not be able to stop themselves from publishing about the need for the truth. 9/11 affected the whole world, its about time the world did something about it for the good of those families affected by it. If it is found that government was responsible for 9/11, then trust between Americans and the government died on that day too.

I have never believed that the Sept 11th attack was not in some way the responsibility of factions in the American government. As the years have progressed that conviction has solidified. Americans are sleepwalking into the nightmare of Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' and Orwell's '1984' if they don't wake up soon and investigate fully the criminal activity of that day....and then punish those involved. It's not just the American people who are/will suffer. The rest of the world feels the consequences acutely.

I am appalled by the gross and obvious misdeeds and intentions of the 9/11 attacks and want the rest of the general public to know who was really behind the attacks, what they were really for, and who needs to be imprisoned or killed because they're at fault. I don't think we'll ever really find out, but a reinvestigation is a step in the right direction.

Amazing to think that some organization could have actually planned a scheme like this. Why have planes hit the buildings if you can just detonate them? It would have still been looked at as a terrorist attack? Also, with so many people involved in such a large undertaking, you would think that someone would have decided to become famous and speak out. Just really hard to wrap my arms around this entire concept although from a scientific view point, it makes perfect sense.

I have a general understanding of physics from school and personal interest. I've designed, drafted and had built a 1-1/2 story timber-framed structure.
I cannot reconcile the laws of physics that an organic event, such as the fires started by the impact of the planes, with the symmetrical collapse of the three buildings. Neither can I understand how any report of an incident which is so massive in the scale of evidence could have been accurately investigated and conclusions written within mere months from its occurrence.

I'm not religious, I'm not proud to be an American. I grew up in a country being fed lies and deceptions. I know this because I'm a seeker of truths and sciences. I spend my time on my computer, like anyone else, learning about what I find interesting; that being, nerdy sciences, etc. I'm a 'where's the proof?' kind of person. The proof I see, more and more each day, makes me sick. That this country is so destructive toward it's own people. Whether it's news, companies/businesses, the (sad excuse of a) government, the food industry, etc.. I'm fed up.
I watched and heard the news while I was at high school, in SE California, and the more I saw/heard/read, the more I knew something wasn't right. Why? How? That's not possible? - I knew then, a 9th grader, that a plane (alone) couldn't take down an iron structure like that the way it did. I excelled at math and science through most of my life, and common sense is all that's needed to know there's something wrong with the stories we were being fed. Sure, terrorists may have had something to do with the airplanes, but what can be said of the rest of the damage? If it was covered up so well, it's safe to say our government or a well financed organization had something to do with it. The government would've had no reason to cover up a foreign terrorist attack. There is absolutely NO excuse for not investigating every aspect of the situation, NONE. Be it religion or your own belief system, you do what needs to be done for justice. For the truth!

I guess I am like so many who don't want to think our government could, in any way, be involved in this disaster. I did not know about WTC #7. Your information is astounding and I can't believe anyone who watches this would not find it a little confusing. As one of the people on the video said, it, too, makes my stomach not feel very good. I, too, think an independent investigation should be done.
