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.

The official report on 9/11 is fake; the resistance of the construction would slow down the speed of falling of both towers. There are a lot additional gaps in the government version - the heat had to be lower than stated and the construction would resist it too. The Pentagon, when you analyze the destruction, could not have been hit by the plane but possibly only the missile could operate so deeply and narrow. There are obviously others circumstances which make the whole picture and it is clear that the official version is a lie.

I received significant training in national defense strategies where communications systems where involved. I received an honorable discharge and numerous awards for professionalism, integrity and honor. I am currently an IT professional in an international company where I managed very large and complex business data systems.
Approximately one month to the day of September 11, I found myself pondering the recent news reports indicating the potential negative trends of the economy. Since the reports were vague but consistent, I began to ponder as to how they could be accurate. Using my past experience and knowledge as a former Professional service-member I concluded that for a foreign power to disrupt the national economy or physically threaten the nation. It would have to have the capability of bringing down a skyscraper in a major US city. Which, was technically not possible. The idea that the threat could come from within, was not unthinkable. But, at the time it was easier to imagine that such a scheme and it's perpetrators would be exposed. The day I heard the building was hit, I thought it was quite a coincidence. Less than an hour later, I heard someone in the office saying the build had fallen. I thought, impossible. Throughout the days and weeks that followed. I heard so called official reports that, based on my knowledge were either lies or crimes at the highest levels. For instance, it was reported that NORAD did not respond in time because the pilots were involved in a training exercise and was not sure the messages coming in were real or part of the training exercise. In training exercises one crucial elements is to exclude an element form the training in the event of a actual threat. Another fact is that in communications the training takes place in a network of data transmissions specifically designated for non real world training exercises. Either the NSA policies have changed or the NSA was a part of the event.

Neither steel nor concrete can be burnt by open kerosene fires at all, especially not in a way that it just dissolves to dust. Given high enough temperatures - the steel columns would have bent down in the area of the fire, leaving the lower sections intact.

Best example of a controlled demolition I've ever seen. If it hadn't been for all the people who died in there and all the people who jumped off from over 30 stories high, it would have been a very entertaining experience. Duh!

When the towers collapsed, I was most baffled. With my limited knowledge of high rise structures, I could not understand how the buildings could have collapsed even thought the foundations were not rattled. Having watched your presentations and other similar documentaries, the truth as witnessed, was both shocking and not surprising.

It is time for an independent investigation to be conducted into the way the towers collapsed. Increased evidence over the years is mounting against the veracity of the circumstances surrounding the way in which the collapse of the twin towers was reported to the American people. The collapse videos show it to be more consistent with a bomb detonation, very similar to what is used for building demolitions. First-hand observation accounts also indicate hearing explosives at the time.

In french, sorry. Autodidacte - J'ai refus' de faire les 'tudes d'ing'nieurs malgr' mes facilit's en math, parce que je ne voulais pas, d's mes 16 ans, travailler pour l'industrie que je trouvais et que je trouve toujours destructrice et st'rile dans sa forme actuelle. Mon exp'rience professionnelle (technologue informatique et t'l'com : hotline technique, puis ing'nieur syst'me et r'seau, puis DSI, entrecoup' de mission en tant qu'ind'pendant), ma permit d'approcher ce monde 'conomico-industriel dont je m''tais 'loign'. Autodidact - I refused to study engineering facilities in spite of my math because I did not want, from my 16 years working for the industry and I found that I always destructive and sterile in its current. My experience (technologist and telecoms: technical hotline and a systems engineer and network, and DSI, interspersed mission as an independent), allowed me to approach the economic-industrial world which I had removed.
In french, sorry. Je ne me suis pas particuli'rement int'ress' au cas du 11 septembre 2001. 'a faisait d'j' longtemps que j'avais perdu toute confiance dans le syst'me global (syst'me 'conomique - politique - juridique - m'diatique - industriel - dictateur). Je ne peux rien affirmer sur les causes r'elles et les implications des diff'rentes institutions en place ' propos des 'v'nements de ce 11 septembre 2001. Mais tout me laisse ' penser, en 'tant simplement logique, que les int'rets forts qui prot'gent notre syst'me actuel ont tout int'r't ' la r'alisation de ce genre d''v'nement. In Glossary, sorry. I am not particularly interested in the case of September 11, 2001. It's been a long time that I had lost all confidence in the overall system (economic system - political - legal - media - Industrial - dictator). I can not say anything about the real causes and implications of various institutions in place about the events of September 11, 2001. But everything leads me to think, just being logical, that the strong interest in protecting our current system are well advised to make this kind of event.

A very mysterious fine-tuned collapse of three buildings which I believe is not done by a terrorist act. This looks like a controlled demolition. I support the theories and the theories made public by this website.

I have worked in architecture since 1994 as a drafter, designer and project manager on residential, commercial and institutional projects, before that my experience was in residential construction.
I have worked in the construction and building design industry with an architectural firm for over 15 years. I've worked on many steel-framed structures and like many of my colleagues, I cannot imagine a total structural failure of this type of construction due to fire. I reluctantly bought the 9/11 Commissions story of the pancake theory to explain how the WTC buildings imploded on themselves demolition style. But I knew it seemed improbable that the World Trade Centers 1, 2 and 7 collapsed because of fire - the first three steel-framed buildings in history to collapse due to fire. This is the smoking-gun of the conspiracy. They fell at the speed of gravity and into their own footprint defying logic, physics and the 'official' investigation reports. Is the 9/11 Commission Report really full of holes and fallacies? Do we need a federal criminal investigation? Yes.

The 9/11 videos clearly show active thermite flowing from the towers, and without the aid of a controlled demolition it would be physically impossible for the towers to have fallen at the evident free fall speed without encountering shear resistance.

I hook lines together and make shapes out of them. Mostly houses. My background is in high-end residential architecture and commercial buildings.
I have read into the 9/11 truth movement and from my research and deep discussions with structural engineers, the only possible explanation for the collapse of tower seven is from a controlled nature. Buildings do not implode onto themselves from small fires. It is like dropping a cigarette on the floorboard of your car and having it crush like a beer can around you. Not gonna happen.

The collapses and demolitions are disintegrations. If a 20 foot tree suddenly turned into sawdust in less than a second, you'd consider that odd, wouldn't you? I never watched the television footage of the when it was in the media until four years, and I was introduced to it through Ken Jenkins' Perspective on 9/11. For four years I assumed the buildings fell sideways. I used to work in the towers.
