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.

As an Engineer I find the Official Story repulsive and reprehensible. I further find it upsetting that the real story has not been introduced to the public and has not even been approached by the media. This can only be seen as a cover up. Science does not confirm the Official Story but does confirm Controlled Demolition, especially in Building 7.

It was obviously controlled demolition. There is plenty of evidence leading to this conclusion. Who did it and details of how it was done need to come out.

Questions and concerns immediately following destruction of Twin Towers, particularly after hearing details and seeing images later that same evening. My education led me to believe that most and certainly these particular buildings would withstand airplane impacts and fires. WTC 7 collapse and my familiarity with Meridian Tower in Philadelphia and several witnessed controlled demolitions while in Philadelphia convince me of controlled demolitions of the three WTC buildings on September 11th. Implications of this are extremely disquieting for myself as a citizen of this country and of enormous concern for notion of integrity in process of building design, planning, construction as well as quasi public process of zoning, funding facilitation large scale urban and or public projects.

I do not believe the comprehensive nature relating to the planning and executing of events that occurred on 9/11 could be done by those currently noted for doing so. I believe some of the answers relating to the 9/11 events are staring in plain sight at us, and the investigation into the real perpetrators can't begin until we acknowledge these truths.

Occupation: Cad/Bim Designer
I graduated in 1989 from California State University, Sacramento with a BS in mechanical engineering technology. I've helped design and create plans for water/wastewater plants for HDR Engineering for 16 years.
I've actually done the math: an analysis of Building 7 collapse acceleration. The standard kinematic equations were used to compute the speed of the building collapse. Note that these equations don't take many 'real-life' factors into account, such as air resistance, friction, and temperature. They are used to compute a theoretical 'ideal case' for use in the lab. Known data: g = 32.2 ft/s^2 (acceleration of gravity) d = 610 ft (height of bldg 7) vi = initial velocity (zero since bldg was at rest) vf = final velocity (in a vacuum) t = 6.5 seconds (elapsed time of collapse of bldg 7, according to picture found here: http://buildingwhat.org/wptemp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wtc7_collapse.jpg). Mathematical symbols used below: / = division ^ = exponent (ie; ^2 means squared) ( ) = multiplication. EXERCISE: Find percent of bldg 7 acceleration compared to free fall. Final velocity (using 3rd equation above) after 6.5 seconds: vf = 0 + 32.2(6.5) = 209.3 ft/sec. Now we can use vf in the 4th equation to get the distance something would travel in a vacuum. If this is close to the actual bldg height, this means that bldg 7 fell quickly, with relatively little restriction, like a controlled demolition would. d = vi + vf/2(t)d = 0 + 209.3/2(6.5)d = 680.2 ft. The percent change between the bldg height and free fall height is: %change = old value ' new value/old value(100). %change = 680.2 ' 610/680.2(100). %change = 10.3%. SOLUTION: Building 7 fell at 100% - 10.3% = 89.7% of free fall acceleration. CONCLUSION: Building 7 fell at roughly 90% of free fall acceleration. This seems like a high percentage for a large modern structure that was supposedly still being held up by structural steel beams and/or reinforced concrete columns. Mike Davis, 11/27/2010

I am a licensed Architect, registered in the State of Wisconsin. I've been in the field of architecture for approximately 25 years now. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis/St. Paul with a B.A. majoring in Architecture.
I did not realize that there was actually a formation of a group or organization that is stating the thoughts that I only have kept in my mind. It amazed me to think that a plane alone could actually bring down a building as these did. These ideas expressed on this site only seem too logical and obviously should be investigated if only to make the practice of architecture and related construction and building fields take heed and learn from them.

After research about the evidence, pro and con I find the research about the question of WTC 7 provides probable cause for a criminal investigation. I have experience as an FBI witness on two criminal cases. This issue is to provide probable cause for the federal investigators. I did this and convictions were gained. The key part of my Ph.D. dissertation included evaluation of over 200 engineering science research programs done by Lawrence Livermore National Lab. I gave scores. Thus my national experiences hunting for engineering errors and my dissertation provides evidence I am skilled at finding quality or errors in research. The research by the federal agencies and commission was less than poor and demostrates they chose to cover the actual facts. Although three buildings must be included in the criminal investigation, the WTC 7 is a key starting point. Dr. Ronald Cutburth, Ph.D.

This needs to be investigated as soon as possible. These towers were not brought down by planes or fire. It is obvious these towers were brought down by explosives and another type of weapon may have been involved, causing the towers to disappear in mid air as they were falling. Everything was pulverised. Planes and fire cannot do this!!

I have watched many hours of documentaries and read many books on the subject. The planes have been doctored into the news footage and we want answers!
There were explosives in the buildings!!!!! Those buildings were designed to withstand airplane attacks and the fuel did not burn the building up like that, it was the explosives that did it.

I always have been a firm believer that the United States Government have been responsible for the events on 9/11 and use a terrorist plot to cover up their actions. The American people as a whole are dumb and gullible and bought into it without question. I am not a demolition expert but I understand physics and believe that explosives are the only way possible to bring down all three buildings.

I believe that 9/11 was a planned event. None of the 'evidence' provided makes sense. As an ironworker, I have good knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of heavy iron, and jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to weaken the steel to make it collapse.

My husband was scheduled to fly to LA on American flight 11 on 9/11 but missed his flight due to illness (the hand of God?). The wife of our high school's asst principal was on that flight, as well as my mother's best friend's daughter (a TJ Maxx executive), and our tailor's wife.This tragedy struck so many lives locally that it is offensive when people suggest the planes were not real.Getting to the truth of what happened that day is critical if we are to get beyond the persistent dis- and mis-information. It is time for America to wake up to the criminal agenda.

I finished High School as well as my first two years of college before realizing it was a waste of my money, spend money to become another slave for this country, no thank you.
I may not be an architect, but I knew from the very beginning there was something VERY wrong with what happened on 9-11. Too many coincidences that couldn't just be coincidence. Now, even science is proving that the American people as well as the world were lied to.

The statements about what happened do not make sense. Experts say that no Steel building has ever been destroyed by fire, and building 7 wasn't even hit, yet went down as a demolition. Later witnesses (5 years later when required by law) the firemen said they heard explosions. The clamp down on interceptor planes, and the loss of video evidence from the Pentagon attack, among many other things, points to an inside job. It needs to be objectively investigated.

Based on the evidence that I view through the internet... Facebook, YouTube and other Internet sources... It appears that there are a very large amount of evidence that the 9/11 incident was clearly an inside job... From the hijackers, the air planes, the way the buildings fell, to the witnesses, the extraordinary heat at the bottom of the buildings after they had fallen etc... There are a lot of questions that needs to be answered...

Americans were lied to on September 11th, 2001. Our democratically elected leaders were complicit in the one of the most dastardly crimes in history. This lie and cover up has brought our country to the point of no return unless we the general population can begin to think critically.

I am currently a student at Eastern Washington University going for a degree in Biology Chemistry. My family has never supported the reported 9/11 statements and therefore have not brought my brother or myself up in believing those statements. My education on that day has come from independent research, documentaries, interviews and conversations had with my family, mostly my brother concerning evidence that we found disproving what we as citizens were told to be true.
I was just a child when it happened. Still in elementary school. I remember not even knowing the World Trade Centers were in America. I just didn't understand what was happening. At school us kids thought it seemed kind of cool. Obviously we just didn't understand the magnitude of the event just yet. We thought of it as just big airplanes flying around doing tricks and really big buildings. There was fire and explosions. To kids all of that sounds pretty neat, like a movie. We had no idea of the repercussions following that day. Our teachers were hardly in class that day it seemed and when they were they looked scared or worried. Us kids had no idea how many people died and how many would die following that day. At the end of the school day there was an assembly called for whole the school. They told us that on the other side of the country two large planes crashed into the side of a very tall and important building with a lot of people inside. A lot of people died... They didn't tell us that it was terrorists or just a crashing plane. They never said what caused it to crash, probably to not scare us too much or maybe they knew we wouldn't understand anyways. But we're not kids anymore... I am 95% sure now that it wasn't a terrorist and sure wasn't a surprise attack when it happened. I know that Larry Silverstein made huge profits after 9/11. I believe Israel played a huge part in the attacks and the planning along with some parts of our own government system. I believe al-Qaeda was created and funded by the U.S. Government. I could continue. Uncovering what really happened that day should be high on the priority list. I support this petition.
