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.

I'm a retired computer engineer from the Univ. of New Mexico. Before that I was a cabinet maker/framer/contractor/home builder for almost twenty years in Colorado and New Mexico. I live in my solar heated, owner built adobe house in northern New Mexico with my wife, 3 cats and a dog.
Having seen several videos over the years about 911, I thought there was sufficient doubt thrown on the official explanation to warrant further investigation. The way the towers fell (especially building 7), the speed of collapse, the claim that the fires were hot enough to melt steel, all seemed suspicious to me. Having just read David Ray Griffin's book on the collapse of world trade center building 7, I am convinced that the whole scenario needs to be revisited and scientifically investigated by a non-politicized panel of experts in all the applicable fields: structural engineering, explosives, physics, chemistry, etc.

I have practiced as an Architect for over 20 years in both the UK and Australia. I have been employed by some of the most respected firms in the cities in which I have worked. In the employ of others in the UK I worked on major projects such as a new headquarters for the glass-makers Pilkington; in Australia I worked on the Qantas Sydney Domestic Terminal. I have run my own office, Haughton Design, since October 2002 specializing in high quality medium to large commercial office buildings in the Sydney city fringe.
There is no doubt in my mind that the collapses of all three buildings were caused by professionals using explosives. I remember my surprise at the time that the buildings collapsed after the plane impacts. I could not understand why they would do so Your demonstration of the creation of the myth was clear. The choice of words structural collapse by the man in the black t-shirt and baseball cap was clearly scripted.

It is an absolute scientific certainty that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were destroyed by energetic material (i.e. explosives) in a controlled demolition: all three buildings came down at nearly free fall acceleration, meaning that the gravitational potential energy from the weight of the buildings was entirely converted in kinetic energy. So the energy that pulverised all the concrete and cut all the steel beams and columns in mid-air necessarily had to come from something else. Only explosives can release that much energy in such a short time. Furthermore, the unnatural symmetry of the collapses requires a very accurate timing => it was a controlled demolition.

College degree and worked many years as a chemist. No relevant experience except I work a lot with rehabbing old houses and understand basic principles of physics (every action creates an equal and opposite reaction (Aluminum wings vs steel and concrete), conservation of energy (plane fuel does not burn for 3 months at one site and go out in 3 hours at another comparable site).
I didn't understand why airplane fuel was still burning at Christmas time 2011 when I visited NYC. Also puzzled how the building 7 skyscraper fall directly in its own path to the ground? Makes no sense. I was very disappointed in the official investigation. Why weren't more resources devoted to investigating this tremendous loss of life, even if the story they came up with in the first week turns out to be an accurate one?

Buildings just don't fall like that, it is clear to me that there were other forces at play. The impact, the fire that followed could simply not bring down those structures.

High school and 3 years college, plus a lot of self education. My experience is that the government is run by corporate greed. My family had a cattle ranch and they took our land that we wintered our cattle on using eminent domain, which led to us having to sell off all our cattle. When I tried using some of our other land as a music venue they came in with 90 officers and a black hawk helicopter. They beat up multiple people, including myself, and arrested 27 of us. We filed a civil suit and they dropped the charges but have kidnapped and incarcerated me on multiple occasions for trumped up charges. This all started in the early 90's and continues to this day.
Obviously brought down by demolition explosives. I believe the government did this so they could have their never ending war on terror and to pass the patriot act.

Clearly building demolitions, as the fires weren't near the temperature to bend steel let alone melt it as was seen. Also, some pictures clearly showed columns cut at about 45 degrees at the base of the Towers. No fire has collapsed a high rise building ever in the history of high rises, but we're to believe that this happened 3 times on 9/11....?

The whole story sounds completely wrong and against basic laws of physics. I do believe in the laws of physics, so I can't swallow the official version. An independent investigation must be conducted by respect to all the victims of this sad day and its aftermath (16 years of non stop war and hundreds of thousand of dead all around the world).

Just an educated chef. Nothing special which is why I find it so strange that someone of my nature sees the obvious in all the lies. This needs to get out. The truth needs to get out.
My sister joined the military after 9/11 because she felt patriotic and wanted to help the good fight. I believe she was lied to, as well as many others that may have taken these actions, under a false flag, to become slaves to the government deserve to hear the truth.All the people that lost their lives, that day and everyday since and their families deserve to hear the truth.All the evidence that I've seen and shared has told me that the official story is a farce and I am looked at as a conspiracy theorist. The more people that know the truth, the stronger we all are.

Would somebody please explain how a building can collapse at near free fall speed unless the structural resistance has been eliminated first?Jet fuel (kerosene) burns@ 800 - 1,500 degrees & steel melts @ 2750'F. If the steel only had to lose structural strength to then why didn't the towers flop over like wet noodles instead of dropping into the basement in a nice neat fashion normally associated with controlled demolitions? Explain large structure fires that burn for weeks and leave a skeleton behind?

Most of my life I have worked in blue collar or low level administrative jobs. In my late forties I graduated from Indiana University Southeast with a B.A. in Economics and Philosophy. I then attended University of Kentucky's graduate school of philosophy for one year where I taught courses in Introductory Logic. I subsequently taught several courses in Introductory Logic, Introductory Ethics and Introductory Philosophy at Indiana University Southeast.
I have watched the three buildings come down many times with many different theories offered as to the how, who, and what--from controlled demolitions to directed energy weapons to nuclear explosions in the basements that funneled like a volcano up the buildings. Each of these three theories seems to explain certain phenomena better than the other two. However, although I have no expertise in architecture or engineering, I did take a physics course in high school. I can observe how the three buildings collapsed. I can hear the on scene statements of firefighters and other eye witnesses. I am able to listen to experts in the relevant fields. Without a truly independent and thorough investigation, I can only conclude that something besides jet impact, kerosene fireballs, or black smoke fires is responsible for the buildings collapse.

Why? Their goal is to move our collective understanding of the WTC destruction beyond the misinformation so that we as a society may arrive at an accurate understanding of one of the most important events in our recent history. During this class you will see and hear what these experts have to say. Learn the truth, learn the facts. Your beliefs should match the facts and not the other way around - when people change the facts to match their beliefs the result is cognitive dissonance. The cure? Truth.

I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology. I have spent countless hours in the past six years researching the events of 9/11.
The official conspiracy story presented by the 9/11 Commission completely defies the laws of physics and fails to present any evidence that the aeroplanes alone, and the subsequent fires that they ignited, could have brought down all three WTC buildings. However, there is overwhelming evidence that counteracts this story and suggests that the Towers where brought down in a controlled demolition using nano-thermite and explosives.

As a person who will never stop learning I look for truth through education just like millions of others. I specialize in project management but am a student of all studies.
My fascination lies in the destruction of WTC Tower 7. Even recently as we see a fire engulf a skyscraper in Paris, and it not completely collapsing, it doesn't take a scientist to realize something other than what we have been told took place.
