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.

There is simply no way the heavy box-section columns would have allowed any building to disintegrate without heavy use of explosives. Even if fire softened the columns, there would have been some bending, not disintegration. And of course the demolition of building 7 totally demolishes the official story!

On 9/11 I was scheduled to attend a meeting at the Pentagon regarding a project I was doing for the Navy. I know we were not told the truth about what happened there or in New York. Highrise buildings do not collapse from fire, and the WTC buildings were designed to withstand being hit by airplanes. We clearly need an unbiased investigation into these events.

I have a Bach of Arts and Sci in Architectural Studies and a Bach of Arch degrees. I also studies Arctic Engineering at Univ. of Alaska Anchorage.Prior to starting my own practice, I worked on high rise projects for the firms I worked for. Once I started my own architectural firm in Seattle in Jan 1991 (over 29 yrs ago), I continued to have work on numerous high rise buildings.
The visual analysis of the collapse of all three WTC buildings does not meet, in my opinion, the nature of a collapse related to non-symmetrical destruction. All three buildings collapsed symmetrically downward with no horizontal deviation even though the damage to the structure was non-symmetrical. A professional architect, engineer or one versed in the physics of building structures would intuitively know that a non-symmetrical failure of one part of a structure would not allow the entire structure to come down vertically, but would tip it to one side much like chopping a tree down. That did not happen in any of these buildings and is suspect.

I support a new independent investigation. The way the WTC twin towers fell vertically looks like a demolition with explosives rather than an asymmetrical collapse as would happen with a plane crash. It defies physics for the buildings to have fallen this way and at the duration of free fall. WTC 7 needs further investigation as well because one column failure does not make sense with collapse of the entire building or the way it fell. Again it appeared as if all supports had been demolished at regular intervals at free fall speed which looks like a controlled demolition.

My obvious opinion is that this was without doubt a controlled take-down of the towers. Working in the steel industry for years, we all know that jet fuel cannot produce temperatures high enough to melt or weaken steel beams to the point of a total collapse. No one to date can explain the collapse of building #7; Big RED FLAG of pre-planning.

Saint Louis, MO
In December 2005 I received a B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Missouri - Columbia. Since then, I have worked in the construction industry designing electrical systems and managing the installation of electrical systems.
The question is all about investigation techniques: Look at the facts of the WTC, specifically Tower 7, collapses: 1) Terrorists used explosives on WTC 1 in 1993. 2) Over 118 first responders reported hearing explosions before all 3 collapses, many said it sounded like the 'bang-bang-bang' you hear during a demolition. 3) We have video, photographic and audio evidence of explosions after the impact and before collapse. 4) Live news was reporting multiple explosions, and the possibility terrorists also planted explosives. 5) Barry Jennings, the Emergency Coordinator for the NY Housing Authority reported explosions in Tower 7. He also reported being knocked down by explosions prior to the collapse of the tower. 6) Molten steel AND concrete were found at Ground Zero 'remember, hydrocarbon fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel or concrete.'N.F.P.A. 921- 19.2.4 Exotic Accelerants states that molten steel and concrete could indicate the use of exotic accelerrants, specifically Thermite. 7) WTC 7 was the first concrete and steel high rise to collapse during a fire that had not been struck by an aircraft. It was determined not to be significantly damaged by the falling debris, and diesel fuel tanks DID NOT contribute significantly to the fire (according to NIST final report 2008). So, with all these indicators, would you test for exotic accelerants/explosive residue/Thermite? How could you confirm or rule out the possibility that terrorists planted explosives in addition to the aircraft hits? Why does N.I.S.T. REFUSE to this day to test for exotic accelerrants in the most heinous crime in U.S. history? With the first high rise building collapses in history, why would N.I.S.T. NOT test for accelerants? Especially, with so many indicators, one in which we have lost so many lives, so many Brothers, so many Freedoms, and our Economy. I have not found a single fire investigator who can give a reason other than they didn't want to find exotic accelerants or they were incompetent! Well, if it was incompetence, we can go back and still test. If you can't answer why, then please take the time to investigate. Browse our website, and please sign the petition. Our communities trust us. If we let them know this is not how professionals investigate, or how we treat our Brothers and Sisters who gave so much, they will listen.

A brainy, nerdy child, I was politically right-wing in high school in Virginia, but gradually shifted to the left during and after my engineering training in North Carolina, until after moving to Berkeley, California in 1998. Since around 2000 my interests have shifted away from politics and toward spirituality and permaculture. My view is that we should know the truth but build a sustainable future rather than trying to fight evil.
The WTC was obviously destroyed by controlled demolition; no possible combination of plane crashes or fires could have caused that damage. Those who believe, They wouldn't have done it or They couldn't have gotten away with it may still be psychologically unable to accept that our country is possibly governed by a band of ruthless criminals. Minds open gradually. Once a person's mind begins to open to this reality, they (at least currently) have easy access to the available evidence.

I have a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in applied statistics, and have been working in research for nearly 30 years.
Having a strong background in chemistry and physics, I understand concepts like the melting temperature of steel and Newton's laws of gravitation. Molten steel was seen flowing from the Towers before they collapsed, and were observed at Ground Zero for weeks after 9/11. The molten steel was not formed as a result of an aircraft impact.

While I received a BS in ChemE some time ago, I have spent little time pursuing that elusive career. I have instead pursued other interests. This would not make me an expert but I do believe that my studies in the field do qualify me to claiming a science based opinion as to what smells and what doesn't.
With the passage of time, the preponderance of evidence related to the WTC collapse events indicates to me that there are many ignored questions which need to be addressed. IMO failure to address these questions through a proper investigation will only serve to fuel rumor and sensationalism and this is matter I think we would all prefer to see finally resolved and relegated to history.

The official story is a load of crap, When the towers fall you can blatantly see explosions going off at least 20 floors down in some cases and firemen confirm hearing explosions at the site of the towers. It was nothing but controlled demolition, couple that witht he fact Silverstein told the firemen to 'pull' building 7 implying charges were already in there (otherwise how do you pull it). You know it's a false flag attack.

It is clear, beyond a reasonable doubt, the investigation into the destruction of WTC towers 1, 2, & 7 dismissed crucial evidence and eyewitness testimony, and did not follow national standards. I fully support a new, independent investigation that follows national standards.

It is obvious the official report is complete BS and this was an inside job. Once you research the real facts of the incident, particularly building 7 (the smoking gun), there is no debate. Only a matter of time before truth comes out, it is impossible to cover it up at this point. Very sad why the truth has taken so long to become publicly accepted and acknowledged. I hope people open their eyes soon.

At first I could not believe our government could do such a thing. My husband was a Milwaukee Fire Fighter for 30 years and he kept telling me jet fuel cannot bring down a skyscraper. He said it would just burn up. That is why the fire fighters were in the process of climbing to the top of the tower to save people. We then went to a talk at the Milwaukee Public Library that was given by Mr. Gage. After that talk I was convinced the fire did not bring down the towers. The whole 911 had so many unanswered questions it was unbelievable.

There is absolutely no way the government's official myth stands up to even the most perfunctory scrutiny. The destruction visited upon the American people that day was almost assuredly NOT perpetrated by a bunch of atavistic zealots squatting in caves led by an insane messianic mastermind hooked up to a dialysis machine.

WTC 7 came down in its own footprint at free fall speed. For this to happen, all support columns must have give way at the same time, indicating a controlled demolition. The model that NIST provides does not match what actually happened. Further the source code of the model is classified.

Anything that I have researched over these last 14 years, leads me to raise a full cloud of suspicion for the media and the gov. narrative of 911.

I still don't under stand how soft aluminum manages to slice a near perfect cut out of a plane going through super hardened solid steel girders like a hot knife through butter. And the nose of one actually comes out the other side of one of the towers. You owe your people an explanation.
