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 have an Associates Degree in Design Technology with a specialty in Architecture from Ivy Tech State College in Indiana, as well as a Bachelors Degree in Building Construction Management for Purdue University. I have extensive experience in the construction of some of the largest and most complex steel structures in the World. structures such as The Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas, and other miscellaneous Hospitals and airports in Arizona, Nevada and California. I have a very thorough understanding of how steel structures are designed and constructed to accommodate all forces associated with live and dead loading, and I'm also very familiar with ASTM testing standards, and IBC and UL code requirements related to the fireproofing of structural steel members.
For the government and its authorized investigative reporting entities to claim that the collapse of these buildings was caused by fire and gravitational forces is impossible, and not only an insult to the intelligence of the American people, but to all people of the World! The truth must be uncovered at all cost!!

Except in controlled demolition of a building, I can't think of anything that simply collapses symmetrically like the three World Trade Center buildings. Other buildings, cars, furniture, tables, etc do not collapse this way. Can you think of anything that does?

I have worked as an applications engineer for a semiconductor company in the Portland area for the last 20 years.
I doubt very much the story that is given, about the buildings collapsing upon themselves due to the fire as a result of the planes hitting the building. For two buildings to collapse upon their own footprint in exactly the same way defies probability. Building 7 of the World Trade Center, a steel reinforced building that only had a few office fires, just confirms that this was an inside job.

I majored Fine Art at UC Santa Cruz before beginning my eight year long apprenticeship in 1977 at various Orange County architectural firms. I passed the California exams and have been licensed since 1988. I have designed many steel frame multi-story office buildings in southern California and many steel framed and concrete buildings of various types across the United States and in the Middle East. I have been a principal in a large AEC consortium as well as practice on my own as a planner, designer, illustrator and consultant.
I spent the first year following the disaster in the bubble, shocked I suppose. Shortly thereafter I began to dig and found alternative arguments on the web and came to believe that something other than the official story was more likely. Now the evidence is overwhelming and a new investigation must be undertaken as soon as possible. The questions surrounding the event are too important to sweep under the rug.

Official story is Bs. Jet fuel does not get hot enough in the ignition or burning process to melt steel. Also, most of the fuel would have been used upon the initial explosion.

I've personally always wondered that if planes actually had hit the WTC, how exactly did the towers fall in an almost symmetrical pattern instead of toppling over like a normal building would. Secondly, how were the holes perfectly shaped like planes???

About a month before this happened, local TV had a show on demolition workers and how they planned and worked to bring down high rise buildings. Especially in cities and places like Las Vegas etc. Found it fascinating. Then 9/11 happened. Saw and heard things that day that did not sit right with me especially watching all three buildings come down. Flashback to that night a month ago, watching controlled demolitions of high rise buildings, knew something was wrong.

I'm neither an architect nor an engineer but I'm really interested in the truth. I don't believe the official statements.
We need to find out what really happened on 9/11. Only the fact that buildings made of steel become dust and molten steel is an evidence that there were not only 'ordinary' fire. Because fire cannot melt steel! And never before in history a building collapsed only due to fire and in free fall.

I was accepted into the Environmental Engineering program at UF, but changed my major. I did take a course in Statics, so I know buildings are always pulled toward the Earth. I also have two eyes that work well enough to see squibs being ejected from the sides of the Twin Towers. That was my wake up call. Someone left a copy of the 2008 AE video in the library sale area at my local library in Massachusetts, which is packed with good info. The flash cards are concise and helpful. I've watched dozens of documentary videos on 9/11.
The chunks of steel blown across the street and caught in nearby buildings point to explosives, and only explosives as a reason for their leaving the building at all, much less traveling hundreds of feet horizontally. In the video 'The Heart of Steel,' a steelworker cut out a heart-shaped section of remaining exterior steel as a gift to Jennifer Adams, a Renegade (9/11) Volunteer. If it took him some number of minutes to cut a cardiod line about a foot long and over an inch deep, clearly hundreds, if not thousands, of timed cutting charges were used in Twin Towers. The US Government is loathe to admit that offices of the DoD, CIA, Secret Service, IRS and the NYC Office of Emergency Management all turned to rubble in seconds for a reason they can't describe. It would be like admitting Uncle Sammy is a pedophile crackhead with a murder rap.

Clearly a false flag event. The average person is so woefully ignorant of what's really going on in the world that you can't even discuss world events with them, because they believe everything they hear from the lying news-media. The media deliberately deceives the public.

9/11 was obviously not what they portrayed as. One does not need to be an engineer to understand that. Building 7 is the most obvious, but the rest was absurd as well. Keep up the good fight!

I earned an A in general college physics. I have worked in the construction industry as a builder, remodeler, and now as a self employed handyman.
I have enough common sense to see through the ridiculousness of the NIST theory for accounting for free fall acceleration of the World Trade Center Buildings. This is obviously a lie and a cover up! The banking elite love war because it requires more government spending and the issuance of government bonds that the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank can collect interest on after buying them with an empty bank account. What a fraud! With enough money they can buy off our politicians, our media corporations, and place gate keepers in all forms of powerful positions. No, not everyone in the government and media is part of a giant conspiracy, but enough are to control the rings of power that in turn control the herds of sheeple. We are getting screwed because of their greed and lust for power and a one world government! Our freedoms are eroding away as they try to build this one world empire. We must resist this or become it's slaves. Even more so than we already are. Please, pray for God, Yahovah, to intervene. Whomever is willing to kill thousands and start wars needs to be removed from power and be taken to trial, but can we expect the criminals to investigate themselves? No wonder why we get cover ups and lies.

For years, I worked for an outfit in new construction installing refrigeration equipment and then later became a service technician. I'm currently still a service/maintenance guy working for a restaurant food chain in the Atlanta area of Georgia. I was brought up in the sticks of southern Indiana and given the gift of common sense and an open mind, though I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
I'm a documentary guy and I have seen some in the past about 9/11, but today I stumbled on yours and one other. I really haven't given 9/11 much thought in years, and like many, accepted what was fed us. I always thought Bush/Cheney and Invading Iraq was baloney. That other show I watched was about the impossibility of the aircraft being able to withstand its structural integrity at high speeds at low altitude, before hitting the buildings. Not to mention the piloting maneuvers by amateurs who never have flown a jetliner before, and cell phone calls made from up there back then. Your show was well done and nailed it. No conspiracy crap, but just common sense truth. I can't believe I never really thought about intentional imploding or anything like that, but I've always thought how weirdly uniform those buildings fell, and I had forgotten about Building 7. Thanks for this enlightenment.

I worked in precision metal fabrication for about 25 years and understand metallurgical procedures, strengths of materials, heat treating, welding and as well melting points of metals. Although I did not graduate from a university I did graduate from Alamance Community College where I learned precision metal working and tool and die making. I also have a strong background in chemistry, some university studies plus more studies on my own, and understand a wide range of chemical reactions and terminology.
When I watched the coverage of the event on 9/11/01, I was not sure what I was seeing, it seemed so unreal. As I began to think through the events of that day, I realized some things told by government and media spokespersons were not possible, such as mere jet fuel fires supposedly melting massive steel columns. Now some years after the event and after reading many statements from various people who disagree with government findings, I am amazed that anyone still agrees with government findings.

I am not sure what my education or experience has to do with what i feel about the world trade center and the official narrative not adding up, I have been studying this for years now, at first I bought the narrative and then the more and more I learned and watched and listened to witnesses over and over and watched 3 buildings collapse into their own footprint, I have seen every documentary and watched with an open mind, and I feel we have been lied to over and over and those families and the American public deserve to know the real truth and not the lie we have been fed for so long
I could almost write a book instead of a statement, i don't know where to start. I know that no steel building in history has ever collapsed because of fire and yet on 9/11 we are supposed to believe that 3 buildings did just that and miraculously collapsed into their own footprint, BBC news reported building 7 collapsing before it happened, it must have been on their newsfeed a bit too early. Numerous witnesses reported explosions, including firemen, policemen, and other victims. The official story claims it was a fireball down the elevator shaft. Don't get me started on the magic passport that was found of one of the hijackers, there was a norad drill on the same day at the same time, coincidence, i think not, some of the airtraffic controllers assumed it was part of the drill at first. I believe that thermite was used, I believe it was a controlled demolition, I have no idea who is behind it or why, but we all have a right to know and to those of us that don't buy the official story the label conspiracy theorist is a slap in the face. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the holes in the story, some of us are not as ignorant and they would like us to be, and most important, people lost their lives that day, or were wounded, lost family members, lives were changed forever, and they have a right to know and have their questions answered truthfully.

From the first time I saw the towers collapse I knew it was not because of the planes and when the third tower fell I knew they all were controlled demolitions because if they wired one they wired them all.. I was also appalled at how the Fire Dept. was used as a Hazmat team to clean it up.. I knew the toxicity of that collapsed structure steaming with toxic aerosols for months.. And this itself proves to me that the disregard for life happened twice. Once in the attack and then in the cleanup. Also, WTC7 demolition was being done right out in the open for the most part while the official story is the same as WTC1 and WTC2. A totally obvious coverup and lie. Videos of the Twin Towers courtyard before the towers collapse show beams from the outer structure laying there after being blown out when the plane hit the building with diagonal cuts in them at each end.. So many red flags.

I found out about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the collapse of WTC 7 a few years after 9-11-2001. I as well did not hear about the collapse through the main steam media. I listened to an interview with Jesse Ventura where he boldly stated the 'smoking gun' complicity element which was building 7 falling at free fall speed and following a controlled demolition footprint. I then began to research 9-11 in much greater detail and uncovered so many mind numbingly obvious question marks on so many different fronts that took place that day and beyond. I recently heard about Operation Northwoods, the declassified federal document outlining an eerily similar program to the events that took place on 9-11-2001. Reviewing this declassified document solidified my understanding of our governments ability to attack its own electorate for nefarious and deceptive reasons.

Steel and concrete have more resistance than air. Free falling materials would slow down against the foundation of the building. The version we are told is impossible and defies the laws of nature. Laws of nature cannot be broken, so the story is bogus.
