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 graduated from college and passed my Mass. state E.I.T exam in 1991. Upon graduation, I began working for a local engineering firm doing HVAC design for commercial buildings. I then moved on to performing structural analysis/ design for the same firm, and finally ended up as a manager in charge of demolition projects for a Natural Gas equipment company, where I worked for 8 years. I have since moved on to being self-employed in an unrelated field.
The buildings that fell on 9-11-01 appeared to me, to fall at near FREE FALL speed. Without performing any experiments or calculations, and just relying on pure, old fashioned common sense, this is not possible in a steel building .... even one that had the structure weakened by fire. If the Pancake theory is correct, it stands to reason the resistance that the falling mass would encounter as each floor collapsed, would slow down the fall, at least intermittently. I simply DO NOT believe the official report and would like to see a new independent investigation.

There is no way that all the supports of building 7 simultaneously failed at 5:20 in the afternoon due to fire. This is completely implausible.

I am a degreed mechanical engineer working as a product engineer in the field of civil engineering (post-tensioning and cable stay bridges). I am also an Infantry Officer in the US Army National Guard currently mobilized in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
As an engineer (EIT) I am unable to accept the mainstream conclusion of the collapse of the three World Trade Center buildings. Furthermore, having twice been involuntarily pulled from my profession (once in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and currently in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom), I am disturbed that the sole 'legal' justification for such activations of reserve units is the war on terror declared in response to the events of 9-11-01 (Executive Order 13223). The cause of the building collapses is immediately relevant to all our current foreign campaigns and policies.

As an architect, I have seen demolition of buildings and am somewhat familiar with the process involved to execute a controlled demolition. From my experience and knowledge, the way Building 7 collapsed looks very much like a controlled demolition. The building obviously falls in 3 equidistant sections with the middle section falling just ahead of the 2 ends. This allows for an imploding collapse rather than an exploding collapse.

Engineers take an oath to hold public safety above all else. To allow a secret group of people to control and destroy the public trust is against moral decency and we as engineers should not allow Engineering to be involved. Any engineer that can't see the fraud against humanity done on 9/11 has forsaken his oath. We can't let self interest corrupt what we can plainly see as evil. Bill W.

Physics cannot lie. As a 6-year philosophy/history graduate, my conscience cannot permit me to ignore this event in whose name so much death, immorality and squandered human potential has been wrought. And as a libertarian who has abandoned both political parties...dissent is the right of the citizen and the duty of the patriot. Those of us who doubt the official story must act on behalf of the fallen on 9/11. Considering the shameful and embarrassing state of journalism, 9/11 truthers must act to inform and educate as many people of conscience as we can.

Harrison, AR
Graduated from Oklahoma State University School of Architecture in 1971, including four years of study in architectural (structural) engineering. Served in US Army and Reserve with rank of Captain. Worked for four architectural firms in Arkansas and Colorado before starting my own firm in 1976. Architectural licenses in Colorado, Missouri and Arkansas. NCARB Certified since 1976. Corporate Member of American Institute of Architects (AIA) since 1975. Have maintained my own firm since 1976 while working on over 700 commercial and residential projects.
Since that historic morning when 911 occurred and my firm shut down to watch the events unfolding on TV, I have often wondered about how two commercial aircraft could have destroyed three high rise buildings. Over the years since that sad day I have read several articles about the structural implications of the 911 disaster and talked to other architects and engineers. It is obvious that many knowledgeable professionals question the previous conclusions about what has happened. It is time to find, document, and react to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Worked 47 years in engineering progressing from fluid power technician, to instrumentation technician, to technologist, to technical writer, to engineering standards administrator. Worked 27 years in internal safety standards research and development with safety, engineering, and medical professionals for a major manufacturing company. Produced, published, and maintained a collection of internal safety standards to protect people, facilities, and the corporation. Subjects included: Combustible Dust, Electrostatic Discharge, Confined Space Entry, Machine Safeguarding, Pressure Vessels, Ergonomics, Flammable/Combustible Liquids, Gas Trains (piping and control) for Large Ovens, Fire Protection, Lockout/Tagout, and Explosion Relief.
This country needs the truth about planning, motives, actions, outcomes, effects, and coverup based on investigation, evidence, and scientific analyses. The truth of 9/11 may, however, be more incomprehensible than the blatancy of exploding planes and imploded buildings. Survivors need closure.

After seeing AE911 truth's material on the events of 9/11/2001, to include the timing and manner of the destruction of WTC buildings 1, 2 and 7, the testimony of eyewitnesses who repeatedly recount hearing explosions during their collapse, as well as the suspicious partially redacted Pentagon security camera footage, I feel a responsibility as a concerned citizen to call for a new and thorough investigation.

Jan 2001 - Oct 2001 I was working as a driver for Knox County, TN Commercial Carrier Service (Limos & Taxis).
Anomaly: Sometime after 2am, on the morning of 9/11, I was waiting for a fare at a Club on a hill, overlooking Interstate 40. I noticed a line of brand new "slimline" white vans traveling in the Eastbound center lane of I-40. What stood out to me was that the line didn't seem to end! I stopped counting at 20.
The event has never left my mind and gave me an uneasy feeling. Brand new vans being taken to a sale location would be loaded on a carrier: Neither sellers nor buyers want to buy a vehicle that has more than 10 miles on the odometer. I could never discover the reason for this "caravan" of vans. And I checked!
