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.

Having watched a large hotel in Harrisburg Pa being taken down into its footprint it looked exactly like WTC 1, 2, & 7!! Only engineers cut off from their common sense by political correctness think the 'official' version is true.

Where has the plastic strain energy gone ? On the other hand, one can ask: How come no one has spoken out yet ?

As with most people, it was immediately apparent that the commercial airliners took down the towers. Upon further reflection it is more than can be believed that this was possible. I think the collapse of building 7 and the tenants and contents of the building have encouraged me to be very cynical of the official story line.

I have been in the mechanical and electrical field of repair and modification for about 12 years. I have worked closely with engineers of many disciplines. I was in the military for 4 years. I have been involved in the root cause analysis of many accidents. Some of failed structural steel and other composite materials. I have studied metallurgy and what can cause fatigue in metals. I have also studied the live and dead load of flooring and the stresses caused by each to different materials used.
Steel buildings do not naturally collapse in the manner that was witnessed on 9-11. It is not possible that 2 would have collapsed in the same manner, yet we are told to believe that 3 collapsed in that manner. (within their own footprint and at near-free fall speed) We have had much smaller incidents that have been better studied than this world changing event. It has lead to laws being passed and conflicts with at least 2 nations. Yet the study of this incident has been incomplete and in most cases compiled of flawed testing... which is shameful.

I have been a licensed building contractor for over twenty years. I have seen what fire can do to a structure and I have seen controlled demolition.
There is nothing consistent in these building collapses with a collapse from fire that I have seen. They are however exactly consistent with a building demolition. Even before all the controversy I did not believe that planes brought down these buildings. Instinct alone tells me that. Of course in the case of building 7 we know it was not hit buy a plane and the fires were small. The mountain of evidence available today only confirms what many people already knew. Building fires do not burn uniformly enough to cause that exact of a collapse. In the case of building 7 we know the fires weren't even close to uniform and not nearly hot enough. Its an insult to even people of average intelligence and no training to try and claim these building collapses where the result of fire.

I studied Agricultural Economics at the Cornell University College of Agriculture. I am a blacksmith and environmental based builder concentrating on the design and construction of homes and work buildings utilizing local sources of materials and labor.
Being a blacksmith, I am acutely aware of the temperature that it takes to melt or even soften steel. I became aware of the destruction of WTC building 7 realizing that it was impossible to have the building collapse because of office fires. I then did my research and demand that real investigations by impartial investigators be undertaken utilizing the evidence so skillfully amassed by the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth and the Lawyers Committee for 911 Inquiry.

It is obvious to me that the WTC buildings were destroyed by means other than airplanes and fires. That this observation can be denied by so many people scares me much more than the trauma of 9/11 itself. What this proved was that the American public, dependent on a corporate controlled media, is susceptible to gas-lighting and propaganda. So ever since then we are continuing to be treated as though 'truth' is just another opinion and what those in power want, they will get, and what the American people want, hardly ever. Imagine anyone coming onto a television news show rationally asking for a serious investigation into the science of 9/11 and the crime of 9/11. They will be mocked as someone who has fallen for a conspiracy theory and not to be taken seriously. The subject will be changed, as everyone knows the 9/11 commission thoroughly answered every possible question about the subject. But...is that really the case?

My result 15 years after 9/11 is a frightening, namely an unfathomable, social habituation and toleration process of corruption, lobbyism, lies, war, deception, ignorance, law breaking and crime throughout the US government. Sadly, however, true! Instead of investing in education and renewable energy, the armament costs rise constantly.Mein Fazit 15 Jahre nach 9/11 ist ein erschreckendes, n'mlich ein unfassbarer gesellschaftlicher Gew'hnungs- und Tolerierungsprozess von Korruption, Lobbyismus, L'ge, Krieg, T'uschung, Ignoranz, Gesetzesbruch und Verbrechen durch die US Regierungen!!! Traurig aber wahr!!!Verdeckte Kriegsf'hrung und Ressourcen-Sicherung stehen 'ber dem h'chsten Gut eines Menschen.

I saw a building imploded in Cincinnati, OH, around 1994. As soon as I saw the news on 9/11, I knew the buildings in NYC were imploded. I knew that life would never be the same. And, the political environment today makes it even more depressing.

During my 3rd year at the University of Texas in Austin my father died of cancer. I immediately moved back home in Edinburg, TX in efforts to continue to run his Appraisal business that took him years of hard work to acquire. 12 years later I am still running The Appraisal Company which did not allow me to be able to finish college.
I was always concerned that the truth of what really happened that horrible day was not anywhere near what we were being told. This caused a deep and vibrant mistrust of the powers that be but I never had any irrefutable evidence. I would always watch any documentary regarding the events on 911 but many and most are way too speculative. After watching Experts Speak Out my life will NEVER be the same again. Its not a Conspiracy Theory it is a Conspiracy FACT. I am certain, with out a doubt that America has been attacked from within and been mislead for years. I pray for all those who have needlessly suffered.

I saw videos that to me seems far-fetched that a plane could drop a huge, well constructed building. - - It does not take a high school education to see that there is deception from our government officials. There was talk of the gold being removed from the towers before they were destroyed with a obvious controlled demolition They are insulting our intelligence by implying that another plane crashed into the pentagon.

I have operated heavy equipment for 40 years. In those 40 years, I worked on jobs that required blasting, so I have witnessed hundreds of explosions. The demolition crew sets there explosives to go off like a wave, it starts at one end and works its way across like a wave. The Twin Towers explosions looked exactly like the solid rock explosions I have witnessed.
I believe they brought down the first tower, because that fireman made it up to the impact site and they didn't want him putting out the fires, and I don't think they wanted him assessing the impact site and reporting what damage had or had not been done. That Fireman (Mr. Palmer) hot wired an elevator, had to fix his radio, ran up several hundred feet, and when he reached the impact site, he radioed that there were two isolated pockets of fire, should be able knock them out with two water lines. When he sent that message the people that blew the towers up decided to blow that tower first.

I have revisited my initial suspicion of deliberate 'free fall' in light of the subsequent global mayhem which directly followed and was facilitated by 9/11. I am amazed how few people are aware of WTC7 due to repeated media focus on traumatic visual imagery of WTC 1 and WTC 2. Maybe the building came down due to the shear force of journalistic / media vacuum!

The growing body of evidence that discredits the official story is troubling. It's doubly troubling because of how it's ignored, both by the general public and investigatory officials. There should be an intense interest in new information, information that will help us more fully understand just what happened that horrific day, and hold any new parties responsible for either direct involvement or being otherwise complicit. However, it's a struggle to even get anyone's attention when discussing the inconsistencies.
