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.

My sister was interviewed in the movie by Guy Smith ''The Conspiracy Files'' because she was on that plane in Cleveland with the bomb threat. Both my sisters and my brother in law flew to California on 11, Sept. 2001, their flight departed Boston same time as the two that crashed. Because they switched airlines that changed everything. They always flew that United flight to California every year. I was at Toyota in Needham MA unaware waiting for the counter person he was watching TV in the back room with everyone else. When he finally came to the front and told me a plane had hit the WTC I tried to remember which airline and if their plane could have been it. Later I went to their house and played the telephone answering machine the first message was from my niece telling me that they weren't on that plane. Okay now, when the south tower fell, my first exact thought was ''wow it didn't fall over it went straight down'' that was my first thought, and it turns out that my first instincts were right again they usually are correct. Something is rotten in Denmark.

If those buildings fell from some force other than controlled demolition, I'll personally kiss Dick Cheney's ass on live T.V.!! And after seeing the videos of the aircraft hitting the buildings, I still believe they were military KC-135 refueling aircraft. I refueled these planes for 9 years in the Air Force. As far as the Pentagon and the crash in Pa., we all know better. What happened to the aircraft with the passengers on them has yet to be speculated.

Throughout my years in the working world, structured problem solving has always been foremost in approaching any issue. These same principles are the ones used in the analysis of the three World Trade Center collapses.
From the moment the towers collapsed, something didn't seem right when there was nothing left but a pile of rubble and a lot of dust. After becoming involved and researching numerous websites, I added my name to the petition because the evidence is overwhelming. Building #7 is the smoking gun.

James V. Guenes, Electrical And S
B.S., Electrical Engineering Technology
Cincinnati, OH
I am an Electrical Engineer with a strong background in automation and have additional skills integrated into my personality such as construction of buildings, structural analysis, mechanical integration of mechanics and structures, and understanding of complex structures and mechanics and their behavior under normal or chaotic circumstances.
There has been never a nail or chisel existed in the world we live, which got pulverized because a hammer or slash hammer hit them into head. The chisels have been hit billions of times onto their head with slash hammers during the 18th century while our railroad system was build, where back then the steel was not that advanced as in the twin towers and they got hit and hit and hit and never got any of them pulverized. How come on 911 two steel structures, each sticking out like a huge chisel into the air get hammered once on the side and these 48 chisels shaped like two letters of H molten on two legs together and having a with of 6 inch, get to be pulverized onto their ground. That is not possible without explosives embedded into the sections of the huge chisels. In addition if you look at the videos, evidence captured on that day, you would be very soon aware that the buildings were not collapsing, rather they were exploding in all directions and pulverized extremely similar to material or matter that had been exposed to explosives. It is time for us to open an independent investigation into 911 and bring everything into day light; instead insisting that it was orchestrated by terrorist. If 911 is really orchestrated by terrorists than there shall be nothing to be scared of an independent investigation. Thank you.

I graduated in 2000 from Florida Tech. My diploma is a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering. I work in Ohio until 2002 in the automotive industry. Then I worked in Czech Republic and ended up working on the Viaduct of Millau as a maintenance manager.
I have some experience on building and maintaining a steel structure because I worked on the viaduct of Millau for over three years. After viewing documentaries on internet and comparing the official version with facts, I started having doubts. I don't know much about material behaviors due to explosions and fire, but it is no big deal to understand what is true. A building with steel frame does not fall down because of fire. A building does not fall straight unless it is due to demolition, and does not fall at that speed. And where are the pancakes. How metal melted, and concrete turned to dust? And here are only few doubts I have on how the buildings fell. So many questions, so few true official answers.

BS Architectural Studies, University of Illinois, 1989. M Arch, NewSchool of Architecture and Design, 2001. I'm an architect licensed in California and Oregon. My project experience includes high rise structures in San Francisco and Chicago.
The theory that the three towers collapsed due solely to aircraft impact defies the physics law of conservation of momentum. Simply, the impact of the collapsing upper section does not have the force necessary to push through the stronger lower sections at an ever accelerating rate. (The increase in acceleration during collapse was documented by independent researchers.) WTC 7 was not struck by an aircraft but also collapsed that same day. This collapse is entirely unprecedented in the history of fire-protected steel frame high rise construction. The only way the three towers could have collapsed in the manner observed was by additional forces, such as demolition charges, being added to the buildings.
