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 spent 44 years working as a software engineer for several high profile companies as well as the Technical Committee of the Department of Justice as an expert witness in their antitrust suit against Microsoft for 7 years.
I was scheduled on a flight to Chicago for a meeting with other Network Associates engineers when my wife was watching the collapse of building 2 on September 11, 2001. I was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with the picture. A few years later I saw a video of the collapse of building 7 and recognized immediately that it was a planned demolition. At that time, I became truly outraged at the lies that were being told. As I watched the video, I realized that 9/11 was probably a 'false flag' attack. All my friends thought and still think I am crazy. Signing this petition is important to me in my role as a teacher of Buddhist Meditation in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We must have the truth be told so that our confidence in the government can be restored.

Earned Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Oklahoma State University in 2007. Practical knowledge from my career is centered around work in software development. My working knowledge of physics and the related mathematical principles comes from my collegiate education, which included courses in physics, statics, dynamics and calculus. These courses provide my foundation for understanding the facts presented in 'Blueprint for Truth'.
After viewing the video 'Blueprint for Truth', it is glaringly obvious that the collapse of WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7 could not have occurred due to damage caused by the impact from jet airliners into WTC 1 and 2, or the resulting fires. Similarly, WTC 7 could not have collapsed due to minor structural fires and damage sustained from the proximity to WTC 1 and 2. The only scientific explanation for the sudden and uniform collapse of all 3 buildings appears to be intentional demolition. The added information concerning the elevator modernization nearly a year prior to the events of 9/11 provides ample opportunity for such a major undertaking to have occurred in secret, which is vital to supporting the theory of destruction by demolition.

I have worked in Civil and Structural Engineering since 1984. I currently work as a structural engineer designing projects for Alaska's oil industry. I have also done forensic engineering for repair of fire damaged buildings.
Although I have seen fires cause steel members to warp seriously, I have not seen fire cause steel buildings to collapse. On the contrary, I have seen steel buildings suffer fire damage yet remain standing. A collapse due to fire damage would start at the first member to fail, and global failure would cascade asymmetrically from there. Controlled demolition is the best explanation for what we saw at the 3 WTC buildings.

I was active from 1982 until 2002 with Architects Designers Planners for Social Responsibility.
I've always blamed the collapse of WTC7 on Rudy Giuliani's fuel tank exploding in that multi-story tall ground-floor space. But seeing (for the first time) those videos shown in the film accompanying this petition-signing request, I agree that the fall was too orderly--much as was the fall of WTC2 that I actually watched go down--to have been generated by a single internal blast. I was surprised to see how many interior columns there were when the plan drawing was briefly shown.

I've been a building contractor for 30 years. Modern skyscrapers are not designed to fall from the sky as World Trade Center 7 did. Nor do they encounter structural failure and collapse from fire. This is nonsense.

I saw the collapse live on Television here in Australia and witnessed the most significant event in my life (next to the birth of my two children). Two years later my sister mentioned about some alternative views on the events, which sparked my curiosity. When only looking slightly into the conflicting information it was clear that there was more to the story than i believed at the time.

NIST has admitted that WTC7 fell at free fall acceleration for 2,25 seconds. That means that about 8 floors of metal and concrete were removed instantaneously and symmetrically. Only explosive demolition could have brought about such a collapse. FEMA and NIST have been unable to explain the mechanism by which WTC1 and WTC2 have collapsed (the 'pancake theory' set forth by FEMA has been denied by NIST). Again, the only possible explanation for the collapse of these two buildings is by explosive demolition.

I can distinguish genuine science from fake science by one simple quality. Genuine science does not require us to suspend reasoning or ignore evidence. The Architects and Engineers science is clear as a bell, but NIST? It's obvious their report is incoherent. This is just the beginning of the difference between the science of the Architects and Engineers and the politics and incompetence of NIST.

I graduated high school in 1959. Attended Milwaukee Area Technology College for 1 1/2 years unfortunately I didn't get a degree, although I do have honors from the college of hard knocks. I was opened to learning the hard way and at 73 years young I have a wealth of experiences that have taught me to seek knowledge, because knowledge is power. Power to trust in myself and question what people say. I am all for education, although in my opinion education some- times prevents a person from seeking knowledge above and beyond their degree. Being an expert in a certain field can somewhat limit a person's willingness to be open minded. A doctor refuses to learn about nutrition because medicine cures everything.
I saw the whole 9/11 event on TV, although I wondered how a steel building could begun dust in such a short time. I did have my doubts because it did appear to me to be a controlled demolition like the documentaries on the Discovery Channel, that showed how the experts exploded buildings in Las Vegas.I'm 73 years young and consider myself very cynical of the news in all the medias. We don't get the truth, we only get what these agencies want to feeds us. I question everything until what I hear has a ring of truth. Too much of what WAS REPORTED ON 9/11 just didn't meet the logical test in my thinking. I did watch the AE9/11 video and was convinced by the information the engineers reported as an impossibility. A steel building even if hits by two airplanes cannot fall into its own footprint in a matter of seconds. The building exploded, how, who knows, the fact remains two airplanes could not have cause the event of 9/11.

From the first viewing of the destruction on that day, I knew no buildings would ever collapse due to the damage involved. The 'story' given by the government did not hold water, especially as it had been on alert for terrorism throughout the Clinton administration. Too many coincidences and timely defensive failures to stand up to any scrutiny.

The events on Sept. 11, 2001 and conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report resulted in dramatic changes to our national foreign policy and individual rights. These include the extensive and prolonged military actions and undeclared wars in multiple foreign countries, our personal privacy rights, rights to trial and various monetary freedoms.Many contradictions and questions remain regarding the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report. It is of the utmost importance that these be publicly examined and resolved.

It is so obvious that these buildings came down via controlled demolition. That means that pre planning of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 were a necessity. My father was a research chemist and metallurgist so science came very easily for me.

The World Trade Center destruction has many unanswered questions, which deserve a thorough investigation by unbiased, impartial engineering, construction, demolition, forensic, and other pertinent professionals. All eyewitness statements need to be included in the investigation, and all the proof thoroughly examined. An exact reconstruction of the events before, during and after 9/11 needs to be reconstructed, in order to arrive at a scientific conclusion of the actual events that took place.

It's been obvious to me this building was destroyed by explosives. Plenty of witnesses and plenty of videos on the tube. Same goes for the other buildings. No good explanation was ever given for why vertical columns gave no resistance to their disappearance. Their vertical integrity can't just fall apart due to weight. This should be obvious. This goes for all 3 buildings. The towers were built with 236 close knit (only 26 inches apart for windows) continuous columns so were like like cans and the inner core of 47 columns made the towers like a can within a can. Can the upper weight of a can crush into pieces the lower portion of a can? Would pancaking of horizontal floors even be possible? No. Not without a force to separate the vertical integrity of the solid continuous vertical strength and support. Just a month or two after the event and re-watching the collapses it just seemed fishy to me and so early on with a little investigation I saw that I was not the only one that questioned the 'collapse'. Plenty of evidence that MOSSAD was involved. I really wish our elected officials would take a close look at the evidence.

I have been involved with construction enough to know a building that has steel reinforcement capable of withstanding a tornado doesn't just fall straight down to the ground without a planned and engineered demolition.
The conclusion is obvious to me. It was a controlled demolition on all three buildings. Building #6 was hit as well, but only on the center portion of the building.

The Towers fell like there was an implosion with perhaps the use of thermite. I have never understood why this was never fully investigated especially since engineers have said it was impossible for just the impact to bring them down.
