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 a former firefighter, in my research there has never been a reinforced steel building that has collapsed due to fire. The collapse of WTC Buildings with a free fall speed of gravity defies the physics of building collapse due to weakening of structural elements. WTC 7 collapse cannot be related to WTC 1 and 2 collapses... there is absolutely no way any physics can support that. WTC 7 followed the book on structural demolition.

I am a Minnesota native and am politically active in my city precinct. I am also an architecture and engineering student through the Minnesota State College and Universities system. I recently published a book title Organized Chaos which outlines in detail how 9/11 could not have happened how the government said it did and how 9/11 is being used as a pretext to invade the countries of the Middle East to get the Military industrial Complex cranking and to convince the American people to give up their civil liberties in exchange for security.
There is no way that Jet Fuel (Kerosene) which can also be used to heat pop rivets could have sustained the amount of heat required to melt steel. Also, there is no way that a steel building (i,e. Building 7) could have collapsed in its own footprint after burning for a few hours when it only sustained superficial damage, when other, much older, buildings have burned for days with much more intense fires and never collapsed.

It is such an awful thing that happened on 9/11. So many innocent lives were taken away and then the government tries to cover up what really happened. To me it is quite obvious that the 3 buildings were demolished. It is a sad thing that so many people do not believe it. The people who were really behind the destruction need to be discovered and their motives revealed to the public.

The controlled demolition of WTC7 leads to the inescapable conclusion that the events which transpired on 9/11 were expected and prepared for. The collapse of WTC1 and WTC2 were likely also orchestrated, as were perhaps everything that happened on 9/11. The question then becomes who did it, why they did it, and how.

I have no related technical experience in any relevant field except that of a thinking human being well versed in a thoughtful observation of the general laws of gravity, physics and common sense.
Like every American, I watched repeated views of the destruction of both towers and bldg. 7 dozens of times on TV news beginning immediately after the events on 9/11. Gradually I realized that what I was seeing and being asked to believe simply did not fit the laws of physics, of physical reality. It is obvious to me that any rational, thinking person would surely have soon realized that the way in which both buildings collapsed simply could not have been caused by the impacts of the planes and explosions of jet fuel, and instead only by the use of controlled demolition techniques.

I was 12 when 9/11 took place, at first I believed wholeheartedly that this could only be done by a group of terrorists and that their religious beliefs were what inspired this. I grew up in a christian school trying to fit in but knowing that this belief system, no matter how minutely one considered themselves spiritual or identified as a christian, they may believe what they are saying but in reality they had/have no idea. Using a religion as a blanket to cover their shortcomings they spoke of what they only heard in the news and showed the same confidence in justifying war as they would show when speaking of their faith. I thought how can the majority have so much hate to go to war so quickly and in the same day speak of the teachings of peace sparsely notated throughout the bible. An entire nation ready to go to war because of the media and the information fed to them. We as the ppl had no real means to review any of the actial investigative methods used to come to a peer reviewed account of what took place that day.

When 9/11 happened I was in the city of Hamburg main library to choose some books which took some time. On my way back home by car my son (25 years old) phoned me via handy and told me the story what had happened. He said that airplanes had collapsed the world trade center twin buildings and I asked him if he was ,,kidding, which was my real first reaction. In 1972 I had seen the twin towers being built when I was in New York. We strolled along there and Battery Park to get into the boat in order to get to the island to see the Freiheitsstatue. So this is why I told my son when he reported the news he had just heard on the radio that he was kidding. I could not imagine that planes could do this by just flying into the buildings. Because if this was possible they had never build these twin towers skyscrapers.... After that I tried to get more information than the news that were given by the media. So I must admit that from the very first thought I did not think of just airplanes being the reason to be able to collapse these building I once had seen so near.

Looked at all the data and I am still skeptical on the official statement why and how the WTC was destroyed. We need a more thorough investigation.
The official word about the WTC does not explain logically why an aluminum and fiberglass plane could have possibly bring down two strong buildings. Something is wrong and the public needs to know the true reason.

Some of my hobbies are sports (soccer, martial arts, fitness) and video games. I have always been an advocate for truth and I hope this will come out eventually, whatever form it has.
It is hard to believe that the 3 skyscrapers went down so fast and in such symmetry just because of office fires and debris falling(WTC 7). Also there are various irregularities in the official report about the plane that hit the Pentagon and the one that crashed in Pennsylvania. The American people deserve a real investigation and so does the rest of the world.

I am no idiot,and believe the engineers who are experts at what they do.
Nano-thermite cutting through specific parts of the building were the main cause of collapse. I believe that they were strategically placee and wired shortly before the attack and were set off with extreme precision. I believe that the planes may have been modified military Boeing 747s that were able to achieve greater speeds than the stock American Airlines planes. Building 7 was specifically targeted to destroy crucial money fraud documents.

Being a single mother most of my child rearing years required that I seek employment that would support them in the manner I felt they deserved. I spent my life as a UPS driver. I have critical thinking skills that I acquired while still a child and those skills together with an open and curious mind has given me the ability to examine my visual and emotional experiences through a lens that is seemingly different than my peers. I notice inconsistencies in logic, body language, etc while drawing my conclusions. I have taken some college courses and was married to a clinical psychologist.
On 9/11 I took the day off which turned into the entire week off. I was glued to the television. I did not miss much of anything unless something was happening on a different channel that I missed. I was, like most people, feeling very patriotic while watching. I was confused. Things did not make sense to me. I knew something was off. Thanks to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth the questions I needed answered were ironically answered with questions. My memory goes back to my initial sense, before knowing about free falls and other important information, and that was a sense that 9/11 came at a time when George Bush was doing very poorly in the polls. His Presidency was as lame as they get. 9/11 gave him a boost and then of course the war that followed. I do not draw concrete conclusions, but I do have many more questions that I feel are legitimate and point to an inside job. I like to say to my friends who think I am whacky....you know when you watch a movie and the characters jump from the ground to the top of a 2 or 3 story building in one leap? Do you need an Engineer to tell you that is not possible? I did not need an engineer to tell me something was not right with the scenario. Day after day while watching the coverage things were said, things were shown and none of it made sense. Why did they know who the perpetrators were in a matter of hours? They were supposedly dead as well with no remains. Why did the hole in the ground in Pennsylvania look like an empty hole? Where was the plane debris? The earth doesn't swallow things. Why did George Bush just sit there?

All of the NIST investigation is a load of BS. They manipulate the American people and the rest of the world. It's time for a real investigation, which is not in favor of the government. It's time the real story behind 911 is revealed. WTC7 collapsed because of controlled demolition. The other towers were also brought down by the hand, not with planes. And what about the plane that was brought down by heroic tourists? It was never found, just some scrap.. The big engines supposed to be completely burned to ashes. Come on, give me a break.

One does not need a background in architecture or engineering to see that building 7 was brought down in a controlled demolition, unrelated to the damage to the North and South towers. I see building 7 as the smoking gun.

I graduated but that is not relevant. I come from a small town in pa. and read everything I can that affects my life and this country. What I see is a failing government run by a evil president. I don't need a degree to figure out what is happening in the United States. In God we trust ....one nation under God....with liberty and justice for all. How many lies are we being told... many and many more..God help us...
I believe from all the testimonies and pictures the public demands the truth. Our government knew this was to happen and played a part in it. After 13 years release the files. Many many lives were affected and proof is out there that our own government did not stop this from happening. Why? No plane appears to have hit the pentagon that day. No plane could bring down the towers. Controlled demolition is a factor that day. No plane hit building 7. Airlines do not fly unmarked planes which hit the second tower. Eyewitness reports felt and heard the explosions.
