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.

Besides the hundreds of items of evidence converging inescapably on controlled demolition of all three collapsed WTC towers, the most obvious and indisputable items are 1. the total free fall and near free fall speed of descent of the three buildings - a physical impossibility even under the official NIST scenario, 2. the kinetic force pulverizing all of the concrete in the buildings and ejecting steel girders hundreds of feet UPWARD AND LATERALLY SO AS TO IMPALE ADJACENT BUILDINGS is totally inconsistent with gravitational collapse, but indicative of controlled demolition, and 3. the mass of evidence indicating the acoustic (explosions), kinetic, and thermal action of explosives by numerous recorded eyewitness testimonies at the scene on 9/11, coupled with at least three major independent studies disclosing residues of both unexploded and exploded thermite of an advanced particularly explosive formula available only to the government (military) apparently, in the dust covering the entire city of New York, besides the obvious raging thermite fires of thousands of degrees seen pouring molten iron from the sides of the WTC towers before collapse, and for many weeks following the collapse - totally inconsistent with the official NIST report, now repudiated by its Chief Counsel, John Farmer in his published book.

My education level is high school. Upon graduation from HS my teachers encouraged me to pursue art and journalism but I joined a rock band instead. No interest in college. Armed with a 135 IQ and a passion for music, I made my own way to success. Taught guitar privately and at local community colleges during my 30 year teaching career. I retired in 2007.
For 15 years I believed and even argued the official narrative, but am embarrassed to admit that all the while I had never really studied any opposing views or information. Looking back, I think because of the sheer horror of the event that I was in denial. My initial research into the WTC Building 7 collapse is what led me to research further. It became increasingly apparent that jets and fires were not what brought the three buildings down -- these were classic cases of controlled demolition. The American people need first to learn the truth about how those buildings really came down and then uncover who all were responsible, but I fear our main obstacle is that the foxes are guarding the hen houses.

Thirty-four years of mechanical, automobile and civil engineering experience. Formerly a licensed professional engineer in Texas. Earned my engineering degree in 1981 from the Rochester Institute of technology Kate Gleason College of Engineering. I had my co-op experience with Delco Products. After graduation I went to work for Texaco in Texas and have spent most of my career in Texas, except for nine years teaching Automotive Engineering in China and developing urban personal vehicles. Earned a Master of Science degree from Lamar University in 2004. Returned to the USA in 2016 for continuing work in the petrochemical industry. I am continuing to edit scientific papers for my colleagues in China.
I was suspicious when I saw the WTC twin towers collapse as in a controlled demolition. I became more convinced when thermite residues were found in the dust that spread over much of downtown Manhattan. I questioned whether it was a false flag or whether the towers were destroyed partly because they were mostly empty prior to the collapse; they were a money-losing proposition. The other fact was that they were over-insured. This came out after the collapse.

I have two years experience in research studying ocean wave energy recovery, more specifically the optimization of OWC devices. With others, I will be publishing our results over the winter and spring. I also have operational engineering experience overseeing and running engine spaces aboard various oil support vessels in the Gulf of Mexico.
The events of 9/11 are unprecedented both in history and in science. Due to the manner in which all three WTC buildings fell, taking their construction into mind, the official story defies several areas of established scientific understanding. These areas include, but are not limited to, strength of materials, thermodynamics, statics, and column loading. These buildings fell with acceleration (not constant speed), and collapsed inside of their footprint. If we were to apply sound probability theory to this, you would find it easier to find a particular grain of sand on Daytona Beach.

IT professional with 6 years of college. I am 60 years old and have sadly watched the decline in individual freedoms in the US. I have worked hard all my life. I have been in sales, owned my own business and started a new career in IT work in Austin, Texas.
I am extremely alarmed by the laws that have been passed to confiscate our freedoms as guaranteed by the US constitution. I believe the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are well on the way (if not already there) to totalitarianism being sped along at greater speeds by Obama. I want to join the movement to expose and bring to justice the atrocity and betrayal perpetrated by members of the US government, financial institutions and individuals.

My education is basic and average. My experience in life is my greatest teacher. I hold no Titles or Phd's.. I do, however, have insight that affords me lucid vision that all is not as we have been led to believe, regarding the events to which this petition calls.
I am a simple lay person of moderate means and education. I can clearly extrapolate, from all my research on the subject this petition refers to, that these occurrences/atrocities were [and are] by design and are nefarious in nature.

Although I am not a degree holding expert in architectural engineering, the events of 9/11 do not obey the most basic of physical laws which a high schooler could observe.1. How can an asymmetric impact at the top of the building cause it to fall symmetrically into its own foot print at free-fall speed exhibiting insufficient resistance from the material in its path; the iron/concrete core?2. How could a building that tall fall directly straight down without tipping or falling over asymmetrically?3. How did all of the concrete get pulverized or dustified?4. How could all but a hundred feet or so of iron core be completely destroyed from an impact a thousand feet above?5. How could the building core and support structure all fail and collapse at the same time before it is hit from the falling material above it?6. How can the collapse happen in a smooth controlled fashion with no 'stuttering' or resistance from each floor falling onto the subsequent floors which should still have all of their support integrity up until impact from above, and in no way before that moment? The evidence contradicts this.The list of obvious errors in the story and requisite denial and coverup call for justice, truth and the necessary awakening of the nescient American population.

I've been in Construction and constructing buildings as a Superintendent since the 70's.
Having put together or worked on many structures in my life consisting of red iron and concrete, there is nothing in this world that is going to convince me that the so called 'pancake method' is what brought down the twin towers, nor that fire brought down buildng 7. It is a physical impossibility. I want to see justice served to whoever is responsible for the demolition of those three builds and the taking of the lives of the people who died that day, starting with Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney.

It doesn't take four years of Harvard to see that this was a controlled demolition. Especially bldg seven. It was not hit. All three bldgs fell into their own footprint. Debris will follow the path of least resistance. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever that four or five floors would crush over a hundred floors of steel.

After years of research regarding 9/11 and being exposed to all of the anomalies that surround the event, I am certain that, with out a shadow of a doubt, the buildings were brought down by some form of explosive event other than the planes purported in the 'official' account. Any rational person that spends a minimal amount of time examining the evidence would come to the same conclusion. It is beyond my understanding why, with all of the solid evidence, this issue has not broken wide open by now. I applaud your organizations efforts to bring this lie out of the shadows and make everyone aware of the sinister and premeditated nature of this event.

Apparently NIST has ignored and denied conflicting evidence. The fact that evidence was destroyed, proves there's a cover-up. Fire doesn't melt steel, and WTC 7 free fall proves US government's reports are not accurate. Professional architects and building contractors need to pursue their theories to honor the people who died on 9/11.

I was involved in the building trade. I have built several buildings in England including hospitals, high rise buildings and schools. My experience was that buildings which I was involved in building were built strong enough that they would not come down by fire alone. Any building I have built that has outlived its usefulness has been brought down with explosives, not by fire.
I have been looking into the events of that day since the evening of 9-11. I thought, as the buildings fell, there was something not right about it. Then, when our BBC reported that Tower 7 had fallen 20 minutes before it had, especially when not hit by a plane and other buildings took much bigger hits yet still stood, I knew it wasn't what the media story said. Then we had all the hallmarks of a conspiracy: misinformation, reports from ground zero of explosions being ignored and the media pushing the story that they knew the culprits before the end of the day. My heart sank as I witnessed our generation's Riechstag.
