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.

Graduated in Civil Engineering in 1984 on a 4 year degree that consisted of 6 Months at University and 6 Months work industrial work. I was sponsored by Balfour Beatty ( a large UK construction company ) and worked for them for a total of 7 years mainly on Power Transmission Lines, TV masts and Bridges.I also worked as a structural engineer for Eastwood and Partners who are consulting engineers in Sheffield, England on projects including the design of the structural frame (part steel, part reinforced concrete) for a large factory (the size of 2 football pitches)
All major structures have their strongest points at the center of the building. Even the most basic of structural engineers knows that collapse occurs through the line of least resistance and NOT under any circumstances through the line of GREATEST resistance.Since all 3 buildings collapsed in upon themselves to the center, then the center had clearly become the weakest point in all 3 buildings. The ONLY way that the strongest point is going to change into to the weakest point is if there is a controlled demolition to make it so.

I am concerned that our nation seems content to live with a lie, a lie that has led to untold misery. We must re-investigate, and learn the truth about the events of 9/11.
They say that on that sunlit New York day The towers came down as fast as falling free. But buildings can't be made to fall that way, They never have in all of history. They say that fires made the metal soft And that in turn began the quick collapse. But fuel from jets can never burn that hot And buildings never turn to dust so fast. The explanation told us was a lie. The cover-up is further proof of crime, And yet we cannot turn away and sigh And let this lie define our life and time. We have to jar awake a sleeping nation, And learn the truth from new investigation!

Occupation: Engineer
I am a chemical and environmental engineer and I attended the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, a school that is highly recognized all over the world. I have designed industrial structures as part of chemical engineering, and have done engineering consulting for many years.
Jet fuel's capability is to create instant heat that can be immediately converted to mechanical energy. It does not have staying power as opposed to heavier organics like tar that hang around and help things burn. Jet fuel can help start a fire but it cannot be the the fuel that continues to burn something for a long time. So the world trade centers did not have jet fuel burning in them; it was merely office fires after the initial explosion. There was nothing capable of heating giant massive thick beams throughout the length of the towers or at any single point to cause the observed collapses. Only a controlled demolition can do what was seen and what was heard as well - multiple explosions, way past the jet strikes.

Why would WTC Building 7 collapse when the building did not experience impact from the plane? Fire alone would not melt steel columns to the point that the building would fall? Also, the collapse appeared to be a controlled demolition with each floor collapsing on top of each other.

At this point, I do not believe this is relevant as I am a member of the general public. Just an interested, sympathetic, sincere human being wishing to see justice done.
My heart and soul goes out to every single victim, every individual still suffering and the families who have lost and continue to lose loved ones every day since. This entire event, the deplorable crimes committed make my soul sick to its core. I am an absolute firm believer in the conspiracy and without any shadow of a doubt, wish to see everyone responsilble punished as they should be. This should be and needs to be investigated independently and justice given to those lost and suffering. Thoroughly disgusted and eager to contribute to the cause.

I don't believe the official 9/11 analysis from NIST since it was published. AE911truth is very compelling. I think it has a good chance to achieve an new open and independent Analysis about what really happened on 9/11/2001. Only the truth and clarity can heal the bereaved and I hope this will happen some day. I also hope that it will happen before 2020.

My insurance career started in 1974, when at the age of 16, I worked for my father in his agency during the summer. I returned in 1984 full time, became licensed, and I now run the agency since my father passed in 2012. Although I am licensed in all lines, my specialty is in property and casualty.
I recently became aware through a connection online of what really happened on 9/11, based upon the evidence presented in the PBS documentary: '9/11:Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out' and it is incomprehensible that they got away with an insurance job on the WTC and a war for no reason other than their own self interests.

I remember turning on my television that morning to see the first tower aflame and smoke pouring out - then the plane was shown, hitting the second tower - When the towers fell it looked like controlled demolition to me. Also, there was a report of the WTC 7 falling - before it fell - The official Reports have never seemed to correlate with what I saw - What on-scene First Responders were saying from Ground Zero - There was real time wall to wall coverage - of the events - which simply have never fit the Official narrative - I am most grateful for the expertise of A&E 9/11 - and your persistence at finding the facts - and educating with the information you have discovered. Without your efforts the Public would never get a proper accounting of the events prior-to and on that fateful day that changed our Nation forever.

Trained as first responder and did fire prevention at Chemical plant and also did basic lab testing on mineral oils.
The way the Towers fell made no sense, there had to be other forces at work to achieve the demolition of the Towers in my opinion. And molten steel from jet fuel, don't think the fire would be hot enough.

It is physically impossible for 110 story steel sky scrapers to catch fire, burn for less than an hour (south) then, in almost free fall speed, (11 seconds), fall into it's own footprint, incinerating and pulverizing everything into powder and burn for 3 months, fueled by office furniture and a small amount of jet fuel. Building 7 fell in 7 seconds into it's own footprint, supposedly fueled only by office furniture? If this is actually possible then every sky scraper in New York needs to be reevaluated for fire safety.

This should investigated to the highest degree. If there was any way this could have been prevented, someone must stand for this atrocity against America.

I have a history in aerospace drafting and engineering support, but left the industry following 9/11 as we began making unjust wars - I was unwilling to supply defense contractors.I am now a full-time activist for the cause of liberation.
On the day it happened, one of the machinists in our shop said, and I will never forget this: 'Mark my words, this was an inside job.' I didn't even know what that phrase meant - but thanks to the internet, I learned. From the moment I watched the 'Pentagon Strike' video in 2005 and heard Randi Rhodes exposing holes in the commission report on the radio before being verbally threatened into silence - and especially after watching '9/11 Mysteries' and learning of the work of AE911 Truth - I have known in my heart that we were lied to.

I distrust government propaganda about the destruction of the twin towers and adjacent building 7 when there is the possibility that thermite caused their fatal collapse.

The way the Towers came down was like an implosion and why did Building 7 fall? Also, jet fuel burns up quickly and it takes a substantial amount of time to burn through steel beams. It would have to be over 1200 degrees over a very long extended time for the beams to have simply melted the way they claimed they had.
