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 senior architect with experience on high rise, healthcare, science and technology, education, and residential projects.
The buildings were demolished. Eye witness accounts, but more importantly my experience and education, indicates the towers were demolished in a precise, controlled manner. There is no greater calling for architects than to protect the health and welfare of building occupants. Denying the truth about 9/11 is contrary to our ethical obligation.

Occupation: A/C Accident Investigation
Former occupation was in aircraft accident investigation at a major airline located in the Pacific Northwest. Interviewed crew members, specifically pilots, involved in such incidences along with obtaining NTSB reports. Reported to MD-80, 727, and 737 flight instructors along with chief pilot. One son is preparing to become an architect at a state university starting the Fall of 2009.
My first notice of an anomaly in the official 9/11 story began when I drove past the Pentagon approximately one month after the alleged 'attack'. What I saw perplexed me as from my background, I determined that a 757 could not have possibly fit into a 16-foot hole and leave little to no debris field at that. Afterwards, I contacted a friend who works for a governmental agency (commercial building engineer) and asked him how it is possible that aviation fuel could burn hot enough to 'melt' the steel trusses and supposedly causing a 'pancake' collapse. Then I asked him how WTC 7 fell. He only answered that fires were hot enough in WTC 7 to cause its collapse. The last time I spoke to him was in 2001 and he will not return my phone calls. He defended the WTC 1 & 2 official 'pancake' explanation. I've since listened and printed out many theories as to why these buildings fell. Steven Jones suggestion about thermite or thermate is intriguing. Others have suggested a mini-nuke device was implanted at the base of the buildings. It is obvious WTC 7 was a controlled demolition. But I wanted to hear from the experts, such as those on this site. My biggest objective now is to find out why the evidence was removed before experts could examine it - especially the steel. Why did fires keep burning under the rubble for over a month? But most important is why the investigations are being obviously covered-up. This is why I appreciate your site and will gladly sign the petition.

Currently retired after 40+ years in mechanical design, test/evaluation and management. I have had some experience in explosive identification and tagging at a national laboratory as well as weapons designs.
Real time observations on September 11, 2001 of the collapse of each of the twin towers, as provided by the national TV networks, led me to the same conclusion: controlled demolitions. Subsequent analysis, as found on the internet and in various publications released by non-government entities, have clearly demonstrated the validity of that conclusion for each of the three towers. The problem at hand is to achieve a government sponsored study that is truthful and fact based; education of the US population and electing a legislature that is reponsive to the US population is important though problematic.

Building #7 was the entrance to the rabbit hole for me. The first time I saw the building collapse I knew it was not caused by fire. No way. I have worked with iron, copper, aluminum and tungsten thermite. I have developed ignition systems, delivery systems and welding with it. I know what thermite looks like when it burns. I know what the molten material looks like and that is exactly what was shown pouring out the side of the tower on 9/11. Thermite does not happen by accident and jet fuel and office fires do not melt steel!

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.

I am not an architect, however I have worked as a consultant with one.
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.

In my career I have designed many steel-buildings, and have studied the influence of fires on steel erected buildings (Ford manufacturing plant in Koln / Germany). From my knowledge I find the collapses of the buildings of the WTC strange to say the least

Using high school physics, it is impossible for buildings of this type to collapse from any type of upper floor damage, in the time taken. Examine the videos, frame by frame, adjusting brightness and contrast, you will see bright flashes throughout the building. Evidence for explosives.

I strongly believe that there is enough evidence to reopen an independent(!) public investigation. I cannot believe that planes can make a building as big as WTC fall. Logically, I don't understand why the building 7 fell without being hit by anything and, most importantly, why is there no report on his collapse. As I know it, every investigation after an accident, like airplane crash, begins with a meticulous identification of the debris for further investigation. Why was this disaster site cleaned so fast ?!?
