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.

Although I have no means proving my gut feelings about what really happened on 9/11/2001, I would put money on the bet that the Bush administration used the attack to obtain the support of the majority of the American people to open a new war on Afghanistan in addition to the raging war in Iraq, in pursue of indirectly funding the all-powerful US weapon industry. I am almost convinced, at least I would not be surprised at all, that this administration firstly had full information about the terrorists preparations prior to their attack, secondly decided not to intervene these activities, and thirdly purposely used this attack to also demolish building 7 in the event. The controlled demolition of building 7 means it was planned and prepared for a long time in advance. That being true, it becomes difficult not to assume that the collapse of the two towers also was prepared in advance, and was the real cause for their destruction, not the aircraft and the fire inferno. This would then lead to the proof of the US government at the time wanting the plans of the terrorists to be successful, and even having prepared to help them in making sure the three buildings would come down, and kill almost 3000 people as a side-effect' This then is the world we live in, a world full of hypocrites and money horny individuals, who don't blink an eye killing their own fellowmen to benefit themselves as much as possible' Believing this scenario is the reason I also want an independent investigation to come about, and incarcerate the ones guilty until they die' I pray your initiative will be fully successful.

Sparks, NV
Native of Reno, NV. I am a recent graduate, entering graduate school in EE. I live completely off-grid, using a system I helped design, and I am planning to design alternative energy and radio systems.
I have been questioning the official story almost since 9/11 took place. Even to someone non-technical, the official explanations for the collapses of the WTC buildings are obviously completely inaccurate. No modern steel building has ever collapsed in that fashion before (due to fire), and it does not make sense that they should. The official story is so obviously full of holes, that it requires a massive amount of ignoring the evidence to even come close to convincing yourself that it is true.

Occupation: Architect
I have been in architecture and construction for over 30 years. My primary experience was with K-12 public school buildings in rural Colorado communities. I am licensed in architecture in Colorado and Arizona and have a general contracting license in Denver, Colorado. Currently I work with a local developer on multiple projects.
Having reviewed hours of internet-based testimony regarding 9/11, I conclude the facts just don't add up. I have always been careful to focus on my discipline, architecture, and not try to be a structural engineer; however, I understand enough about structural engineering to question the 9/11 Commission's conclusions. I think it is important to review all the evidence and all the theories toward a more comprehensive explanation. 9/11 in itself was a sad day, but the aftermath has been even more tragic. We don't need a witch hunt, but we do need a better understanding of the facts to aid all of us to make prudent decisions for the future of the world.

I am a licensed architect first in Ohio, then South Carolina and Missouri. I was first licensed in 1982. I have been working in the architecture field since 1962.
The event does fit into the general scheme of things of how governments work and social systems work. We will not know the truth because too many individuals would be exposed. Those killed in this event are not any different than the soldiers in direct combat action. Our leaders are usually not touched and even the general population think that is okay.

It is clear to me that Tower 7 was taken down with a controlled demolition.

Occupation: Writer And Reader
I am a student at Mt. Hood Community College (Gresham OR), focusing on social sciences without a definite major in mind. I was fascinated with physics in high school and constantly try to keep up with advances in the field. I'm excited about CERN and my conception of god is based in quantum physics. I still remember F=MA, and that is enough knowledge to grasp the pile drive problem. I am 21 years young.
I've never watched an object, any object, fall through a much larger greatly more massive, upright, stable, structurally zealous object - composed primarily of steel and concrete - at near free-fall velocity, and come to the ground in massive clouds of dust. The underlying theme of the collapses, w/r/t the theories set forth by investigating agencies, is that of crushing; it is not that of annihilation, which is what we have all witnessed, countless times. Critical analysis is the only skill necessary to notice the discrepancies between official fact, and the findings of genuine, caring, and bold individuals concerned with that elusive thing we identify as truth.

I've seen other investigations of the 9-11 attacks and they all point to the same thing, but the listing of reasons for doubting the official story as found on this web site is both the most succinct and compelling I've yet seen. As I read some of those points I thought Of course! I should not have needed an architect to point out those things! It is clear that further investigation is needed with testimony by experts such as Richard Gage.

'+20 years experience in structural design. Special interest in dynamic and explosion behaviour of structural elements and foundations.
By observation, I could never understand the 'convenient' vertical collapse at the base due to an extreme event at height. I was most concerned by the third tower collapse, totally unrelated! Why didn't other buildings fall? I have watched the documentaries and agree many questions remain unanswered.

Anchorage, AK
I provided general civil engineering, construction management, plan review, and engineering for small structures in the 1980's and early 1990's.
I had a college professor in structures who once said, and I paraphrase, Structures don't collapse from the mistakes that engineers design for....there are enough factors of safety to compensate for that...they collapse from what engineers completely miss designing for. - - - - When the towers collapsed, I was shocked and surprised, but attributed the collapse to the idea that...well...the engineers wouldn't have taken into account a large plane hitting them. Years later I discovered that they were indeed designed for a 707 hitting them. That got me thinking! - - Having spent many agonizing hours designing the structure for a church, I felt certain that the engineers of the towers would have overdesigned their structure to, if nothing else, still be standing until the last little old lady in a wheel chair escaped, unharmed. - - - - Call it gut feeling, with some practical engineering experience, but the idea of the tower collapses and especially the building 7 collapse being caused mainly by fires are suspect. The true cause or causes of these total failures certainly need to be re-investigated.

After careful reviews of available evidence and witness testimonies, it's clear that all 3 buildings were controlled demolitions. The American public deserves an investigation and accountability for the crimes committed against innocent American citizens.

I don't believe that the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings was caused by fires and plane crashes. The buildings apparently were destroyed with the use of thermite explosions and Saudi Arabia did not have the capabilities to do this. The real perpetrators need to be exposed, captured and punished for the deaths of so many of our own citizens.Also, the Pentagon appears to be hit by a missile not an airplane.
