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.

Too many questions remain about the attacks of 9/11. Heat: My experience with temperature measurement and basic knowledge as an engineer taught me that to structurally weaken steel you need very high temperatures. These cannot be produced by burning jet fuel. Collapse: The collapse of all three buildings on 9/11, Twin Towers and WTC7, are unexpected in their behaviour. There is no hinging or falling-over, the collapses were unbelievably fast and complete. Explosions: People have reported explosions prior to the planes hitting the buildings. During the collapse there are indications on film that explosions may have taken place. Some of the dust contains traces of what is found after the use of nano-thermite. Reasoning from the other side, all of what happened as part of the 9/11 event can technically be organized more easily by elements of the US government. Motif could be found in the potential of financial gain and increase of power. It would be in the interest of a benign government to disprove this theory. Unfortunately, too many questions remain, too many to believe that the official story is correct. That alone is reason to demand an impartial investigation.

I have externed for 2 federal judges and interned with the California Attorney General's criminal division. I now work for a law firm in California.
Tower 7's collapse is the most overt smoking gun to alert us to likely untruths disseminated regarding this terrible day in history. The people suffered. The people died. The People were injured both psychologically and physically. The People deserve to know the truth.

I've been licensed for 18 years in California. I've been in the architectural business for 33 years.
I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

Occupation: Mechanical, Hvac Engineer
I have a BS in Engineering Technology from Cal Poly at San Louis Obispo. I spent 25 years as an HVAC facilities project and design engineer for high tech facilities. I also spent 10 years as a piping materials engineer in the petro chemical industry.
The evidence is overwhelming that the government's investigation omitted a huge amount of forensic data. Many items were not addressed in the official government report. How did a hit on one corner of a tower cause a symmetric collapse? How did a fire on one end of building 7 cause a symmetric collapse? What about building 7 free fall, all of the witness testimonies that have been blocked out by the media, molton steel, thermite, the whole US defense apparatus failure. Why? We invaded the middle East countries largely because of 9/11. There has been a lot of dying and maiming over this. The truth must be exposed. So far both political parties and the mainstream media are complicit in allowing the cover up of the 9/11 attack. The dead and their loved ones deserve a real investigation.

I graduated from the University of Idaho in 1997 with a degree in Architecture. I am 2/3 done with my state license exams. I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

Got MS in electromechanical engineering summa cum laude at 21 years of age from University of Liege, Belgium. Known as a solid team player, deeply committed to quality, service to external and internal customers, productivity. 20+ years experience, yet still proficient in theory. Recognized for combining exceptional analytical skills with objective observation of physical phenomena and rigorous written communication.
Just about any discerning high-school kid, given objective information, will see through the official 9/11 fairy tale. The role of scientists, engineers and architects is less to impose opinions than to reassure other truth-seekers that they are on the right track and provide them with simple arguments to rebuke the keepers of the faith; Richard's simple free-fall speed model fits right in this picture.

The official story is political not factual. Intuition alone says the official story about WTC 7, in particular, is simply not true. Falling structures that tall and massive do not free fall unless the elements of resistance (structural elements) have been strategically and violently removed.

I am myself a civil engineer in constructions. I am not specialized in fire or skyscrapers calculations. But by the way tower 7 falls just because of fire, meaning perfect, coordinated failure and free fall makes me think that the fire explanation sounds not real for me.

Tower 7 appears to be an unprecedented event in structural engineering. I believe we should look into it more, at the very least to obtain more information for engineers so that we can prevent future mishaps.

It would be laughable that they have tried to get us to believe their story about the planes, if it weren't for all the people who died in the event, all those who died after, all the people who were sickened by the contamination and the mental damage to all Americans. A lot of people need to go to jail for life and the whole thing needs to come to light for history to see as well.

Since childhood I have had a curious mind, a desire to learn how things work, take them apart and back together again. I explore, ask questions, study and seek knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Always follow the scientific method with discipline, test and the truth will be revealed.
"Unfortunately, the architects of the plan to demolish these buildings were essentially successful. Average people tend to not question official statements, sadly, are generally complacent and don't look into the details or suspect foul play. ""the easiest way to get away with a lie is to make the lie so outrageous that it just won't be questioned"" NIST must have been threatened or paid off to make their statements. This was obviously controlled demolition. Motivation? Follow the money."

There is no possible way that a sky scraper could collapse into its own footprint if weakened at a single point in test structure. We would see the remaining structure above the anomaly topple over while most of the building bellow remains standing. Buildings1, 2 and 7 were clearly controlled demolition.
