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.

Walpole, NH
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in 1981. In the intervening years I worked at a variety of jobs, the most applicable being the 12 years when I did instrumentation & controls and then mechanical design engineering for a variety of industries. I have a typical plodding but thorough and mechanistic and engineering approach to any subject I approach.
I felt indignation when I first heard that people were questioning the official version of 9-11 events. It took several years for it to filter through to me that building 7 fell at free fall speeds 7+ hours after the towers. I've perused the NIST report dated 2008. I do understand the elaborate chain of events described therein and they sound very unlikely. I've heard some expert testimony questioning many of the premises and details NIST used to construct their report. I'm convinced the NIST report is unsatisfactory and that we owe it to the victims, their families and to ourselves to continue investigating. The bad guys are still out there. Their monumental arrogance and sociopathic mentality will continue to surface if we don't.

No security plan is foolproof, otherwise the security industry would not be so profitable. There are individuals of questionable connections, some who actually worked in the Towers, who would have had access (including the guard force itself) to have allowed for explosives to be placed in key areas to facilitate the rate of collapse. It would not have taken a large team to implement if systems were put into place slowly, with the explosive materials placed either where dogs did not operate, or after the dogs were removed just prior to 9/11. I cannot stand down from this position given the clear unanswered questions.

22 years old. I started questioning the collapses in 2005. Currently I'm studying. I don't have any formal technical education, but I have always been interested in technology and physics.
On 9/11 3 buildings were demolished in a controlled demolition. The molten metal, the reports of bombs and secondary devices and the way the buildings came down clearly shows something is wrong with the official explanation. If anything the above chunk of the towers would have toppled over, following the path of least resistance. Actually we clearly see this happening at the onset of collapse but then as the building is demolished beneath there is no resistance to make it continue to topple over. WTC7 is the loaded gun as Niels Harrit states. Plain and simple. Anyone seeing that video with a basic empirical knowledge of the physical world will know that the collapse could not be caused by fires alone.

In order to fall as it evidently did, WTC7 needed an extra source of energy, other than gravity, in order to remove all resistance of the building's structure, to maintain that free fall rate of acceleration.

From the way the Towers fell and the tons of debris, steel beams of several tons, that were ejected hundreds of feet laterally, it seems pretty obvious that there had to be explosives present. This also goes for the way the cooler - normal office temperatures - lower floors were destroyed the same way as the upper ones. You had cool - 20 degree Celsius - steel beams down there, that could not possibly just disappear in near-free fall speed. Falling objects can either gain velocity from gravity acceleration or crush objects in their path - they cannot do both at the same time.

I earned both a Bachelor and a Master of Civil Engineering degree back in the early 90's. I did leave the field in the late 90's and have not returned to it. As far as being licensed, I do possess E.I.T. certification. At the time of the catastrophe, I did wonder why neither the USACOE nor the ASCE did not demand to investigate the site and take tests and samples, etc.., this being an unprecedented case for study in the field of Civil Engineering.
For starters, why weren't there 100+ slabs of steel reinforced concrete flooring piled one on top of the other in the rubble? How were over 100+ steel reinforced concrete floors in both towers I and II pulverized to dust within minutes? Just asking? For starters.

I remember hearing about 9-11 conspiracies in the early 2000s but dismissed them quickly as I just didn't believe that even the Bush administration could be that evil... I never thought my generation would have to live through a worldwide upheavel like WW1 or WW2 but this revelation and the ongoing expansion of corruption in the US and around the world into an outright war based on ''war on terror'' Patriot Act powers points to a coming political upheaval like the world has never seen.

I have spent all this time also getting into the 9/11 theory that something does not add up at all I was a young man when this took place. I have been a scout and was in Demolay for years.
Nothing adds up. I have seen videos of explosions occurring at the base of the tower even after the explosions molten steel appears too fall from the buildings, a trait found in thermite.

From watching the 'breaking news' that terrible day I never believed a passenger aircraft went into the towers, and I find it impossible to believe that if an aircraft had flown into the towers that the towers could fall in a controlled demolition manner - two planes, three buildings????? The official version is so badly scripted that I cannot believe it.

I discovered a documentary two days ago, and was triggered by the evidence regarding WTC 7 to do more research. I finally discovered your film 9/11 Explosive Evidence: ESO today, and it has hit hardest. I had a reaction similar to what I felt on 9/11, sick to my stomach and extremely tearful and full of sadness. The evidence suggests things so disturbing, it has changed me in again, like 9/11 did, in a permanent way, wherein, I can never go back.

I am an author (eight published books), a business consultant with some thirty years in the management field, and an activist for human rights. My books are a mix of political and dystopian thrillers, crime-fighters and general fiction which pull back the curtain on societal issues while also espousing the undying power of a good dream. There will generally be found a weave, or thread, in each story, which pushes the envelope on mediocrity and offers the reader different perspectives about how we see society and our potential on the stage of life.
As covered in my newest book, just published through Mirador Publishing, UK, entitled, THE DECEPTION PEOPLE, my research has shown clearly that the collapse of the three structures at 9/11 were not the result of two airplanes striking the towers, and that this 'attack' was just part of another agenda to incite a war against 'terrorism' and to get American boots into Afghanistan for other reasons. The truth needs to be exposed and the myth debunked so that the world at large knows what really happened.

I finished my electrotechnik study 1997 and 1998 started to work for HP in Boeblingen (test and measurment division), Germany. For training programs I was visiting USA several times, from coast to coast. Until 2010 I was with HP/Agilent for 12years. I was in the sales department for many years and I have visited many customers and see a lot of applications developing. (radar, HF, wi-fi, 3G, RF-ID etc.)
9/11 was a shock and a wake-up call for me. After few days, I started to think again and more and more 'facts' became illogical to me. Then I start digging and reading for many years. Conclusion: no plane can bring the WTC down in this manner (10sec). This was a controlled demolition. Everyone who study something technical and with materials knows that aluminium cannot destroy steel and concrete buildings of this size. And what happened with the WTC7? There were just 2 planes but 3 buildings came down?! It changed my whole life and after a longer brainstorming I finally decided to quit with HP and high-tech and turn around, back to the nature.

It seems to me those responsible for the events on that day were naive to think they could make this look like planes could do this. I just do not understand how they have managed to keep an independent investigation from being conducted. The evidence is unquestionable, and in staggering quantities too. Clearly too many people protecting their own self interest in key areas are helping keep the truth hidden.

My father is a 8 year masters degree chemical engineer. Jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel into shapes that are commonly found in demolition.
3 things...Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt Steel. Beams were cut with thermite, the symptoms of thermite are puddles of molten see after a demolition which last for days as seen in the wreckage. Tower 7? No plane crashed, any videos found depict a controlled demolition like any other found on the internet.

After listening to so many people on you tube -- first responders, other witnesses on the ground and in the buildings, airline pilots and Ms. Roth (flight attendant), and demolition experts, architects and engineers and Christopher Bollyn, it was not possible to believe what the government was telling us. Ever since the real perpetrators got away with the horrific crime, I've worried about the next false flag that we will experience.

On September 11th, I remember thinking as I watched that footage that there must have been a planned demolition. Physics can't be beat. One can make it look like physics can be manipulated, but that is just false. Yes the building could free fall, but not without each floor being taken out before the next.

I watched Mr. Hooper's video and found that it makes a good deal of sense to me. It was the first I had heard of Bldg 7 destruction - the news stations totally concentrated on the twin towers - and seems totally incredible that its destruction should have resulted because of the twin towers attack... not with several hundred yards separating the buildings. That is not either reasonable or logical to me especially considering no other building around the towers was destroyed in the same way.

The Twin Towers can not be collapsed simply because of the impact of the two Aircraft and because of the heat of the fire. WTC7 is the evident proof of a controlled demolition. There are videos that demonstrate the sound of explosives before the collapse of WTC7 and witnesses who tells about sounds of explosives into the twin Towers.
