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 am really impressed (and horrified) as to the masterful and deceitful demolition job that was done on the World Trade Center Complex Bldgs. 1,2,&7, especially 7, and their ability to pass this off on the majority. Superthermite, thermate, nanoparticles, remote-controlled airliners, multiple explosions/ejections in and from the buildings prior to collapse and during their non-impeded free-fall---all paid for with our tax dollars! I have viewed Bldg. 7 collapsing at least 50 times-ABSOLUTELY NO WAY WAS THIS POSSIBLE ON ITS OWN!!!! Classic and rather obvious controlled sequential demolition. They really do think we're stupid.

I watched the second plane strike the WTC tower on TV as it happened and the subsequent collapse of the towers. Totally unbelievable that they easily withstood the impact, stood firm for more than an hour while a smoldering oxygen limited diesel oil fire bellowed thick smoke indicating anything but an intense out of control and growing fire capable of compromising the structure. Then the first tower collapsed - UNIFORMLY, straight down and later the second tower in a significantly shorter time from impact. The case for, and prediction of, the Building 7 collapse - straight down, later that day is TOTALLY suspicious and absurd. I believe the 'CLEAN UP' was a deliberate destruction of the crime scene evidence, hurriedly with the intent to prevent any analysis of the true cause.

I have 25 years public service as a building designer, office building manager, and landscape architect. I also have 17 years in private practice and have designed schools, performing arts theaters, fire stations. city buildings, and custom houses. I have designed major highway landscape restoration and have written guidelines for major architectural treatment of Interstate 90 infrastructure in Washington State. During my education, I took twenty five credit hours of structural engineering. I am a certified HUD/FHA plans examiner, and a certified FEMA post disaster building inspector.
As an architecture student, I was on the 100th floor of the WTC second tower during its construction. I was personally escorted to the top by one of the head engineers for the buildings. I had an opportunity to see the unclad structure as it was being built. There were no curtain or interior walls Given the size and height of these buildings, I find it totally incongruous that three buildings would pancake almost symmetrically. I would think that there would be uneven failure, melting of the structure, more to one side than another in at least one of the structures. The planes crashed into one side of the buildings, and unevenly - not on a level keel. That, to me would indicate more damage on one side of the building and more on one floor than another. All three buildings seemed to collapse inward on themselves with out relative little damage to nearby buildings in all directions. Why didn't at least one tower upper section tilt and fall to the side. And building seven was not square. If it collapsed from fire, why pancake instead of falling to one side or end where the fire was located? The fire was not in the exact middle. This is all too perfect - more reminiscent of a controlled demolition for ALL three structures. There are far too many coincidences to even discuss here.

I have been working for ten years in software development. I'm mainly concerned with electronic signature, ciphering, time stamping functions, and PKIs.
I 'm still unable to find any explanation in the official commission reports that stands...I've just read the NIST, NCSTAR report for public comment pdf for the WTC7 collapse explanation, but there's almost no point about the time to collapse! F.R. Greening report about WTC 1 and 2 seems very well informed but doesn't take into account that the top of north tower lean while falling: that's completely missing in his calculations...whereas it obviously should have had a great importance to calculate the developed strengths in his pancake collapsing theory...but that simply can't be the truth because it's obvious to me that the leaning should have increased unless another strength was applied.

BS Metallurgical Engineering, University of Missouri-Rolla, 1999. I've been working as a metallurgical engineer for over 15 years, supporting various manufacturing and testing processes for the aerospace and defense industries.
People think jet fuel must be hot if it can lift airplanes into the air, but in reality, it must burn inside a metallic engine without damaging it, so it doesn't burn hot enough to even melt structural steel. Most of the jet fuel hitting the twin towers flashed off on impact, leaving little left to finish off the towers. And what exactly was supposed to have caused world trade 7 to come down? There have been a few intense fires in steel frame buildings, and they all leave the frame standing when they're over. Fire cannot explain the near-instant collapse of world trade 7.

I have been involved in the design and inspection of structures for approximately 30 years, including dams, bridges, roads, canals, pipelines, retaining walls, drainage structures, and other structures.
One of the many things that puts the official story in question for me is the matter of foreknowledge. How could so many people know that WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were going to come down when a fire has never caused a complete collapse of a building before. Also, it was well documented that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand a crash of a large passenger airplane.

I'm presently a Senior Principal Design Engineer/Manager with over 24 years of broad industry experience in Product and Design Engineering. My initial year at engineering school exposed me to mechanical as well as civil engineering, although my concentration has been on electronic engineering. I've received over 10 US patents which relate to IC design.
It's my understanding that when a building has been destroyed by fire in the course of a crime, then forensic analysis must legally test for the use of accelerants. I believe NIST did not comply with this requirement and the only rigorous xray analysis of the steel ejected from this crime scene found strong evidence which supported the possibility that thermate was present. NIST's final conspiracy theory that thermal expansion was responsible for the collapse of WTC 7 - a new phenomenon. I also found out today that one of the eyewitnesses to explosive forces emanating from the basement of the Twin Towers, Kenny Johannemann, committed suicide - such testimony I feel was never fully considered by the 9/11 Commission and this evidence is rapidly disappearing, or worse, being swept under the carpet. I would like to see an independent inquiry into the unanswered questions regarding what really happened on 9/11 and full accountability of those who were complicit in the events of that day. I consider diversion of our nation's military to a bogus war in Iraq at the height of our nation's response to this attack with extreme suspicion.

I grew up in a far different time when the apple IIe was really something and science and engineering were great things to know. A good paying secure job was a given for the hard work endured. Technology improves at a dizzying pace now, and manufacturing and such old ideas have mostly been wiped out. I got a BSME from UW-Madison in 1993. I have a variety of manufacturing experience, but nothing to brag about.

Bankers and oil men were behind it. Everyone knows it or suspects it, that is why NIST says the money trail is not important, but it is important, probably the most important evidence of all.

I remember seeing the planes fly into the buildings on the news when it happened and then the buildings falling and I had so many questions as I knew it was not possible for planes alone to have caused the buildings to collapse like the media represented. At the time I thought they would investigate it and later reveal explosives were found in the building but instead the focus changed to the 'weapons of mass destruction' and the need for a war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I've followed this story since it happened and I'm committed to the victims, their families and mankind to have the truth of what happened on 911 to be told so that such an atrocity will not be repeated ever again.

I have studied all of the available evidence on the internet and read various books on the subject. I have been particularly impressed by the calibre of people who have been brave enough to speak out against the official story. I can only come to the conclusion that some kind of controlled demolition was used to destroy all three skyscrapers on 9/11. Therefore there needs to be a new investigation, as the absence of controlled demolition as a serious hypothesis in the original one indicates a coverup on grand scale.

The evidence leads to it being highly unlikely that the planes could even fly at the supposed speed and that the building would collapse from anything other than a controlled explosion or demolition.

I read copiously. I attended an excellent liberal arts college in New England. I've taken in quite a bit of information 9/11. This was an inside job.
When I watched the buildings collapse live on TV, I knew they were brought down by controlled demolition. The science behind the 9/11 tragedy clearly backs it up. Only cognitive dissonance and criminal negligence stand between the citizens of the world and the truth behind the biggest cover-up since JFK.

I'm an American citizen aged 63 who is concerned by the misinformation/disinformation published by my government in hiding the truth about what happened on 9/11. I was formerly an RN working in ICU's, ER's and OR's. I was trained in the scientific method and to use my head in rational critical thinking.
I don't believe the NIST report is accurate in any way, or that the material frequently seen in the media portrays accurately what happened on 9/11 and that building structures, built to withstand hits from an airplane, could suddenly collapse and collapse in the manner the news footage shows.

I know the Official Report is a fabrication. I seek true justice for my fellow Earthlings, and I seek to put the culprits of this heinous act behind bars for good. Amen
Free-fall of three massive skyscrapers does not occur when two airplanes hit the top of two of the buildings. The official story is obviously a fabrication. The true perpetrators of the act must be held accountable and, we must heal as a people of earth as a result.

The official report is totally improbable and based on all the alternative evidence supplied it can only leave anyone looking at it with one outcome. This was instigated by The United States Government. The atrocities caused on 9/11 have scarred the world. This needs to be looked at thoroughly and independently without any bias to either side. There is simply too much overwhelming information and testimonies to ignore here.

It took me less than a minute to make my first opinion of what happened. I worked in a car body shop to pay my undergraduate education. For about a year I perform enough oxyacetylene soldering to know that you need more that this oxygen starved fuel fire to weaken the massive steel structure of those buildings. Then it happened: a perfectly symmetric collapse of the first tower. I still remember my first worlds: 'No way, they won't make me believe this.' I am amazed that this monumental deception has gone so far without any serious questioning from any important media institution. We need a serious investigation no only on behalf of the thousands who were killed that day in the Towers but also the hundreds of thousands who have been killed, jailed, tortured, handicapped all over the world, especially in the Middle East, every single day since 9-11 in the name of this 'War on Terrorism'. We want to know who the terrorists were.
