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.

From all the different videos I have seen it seems very clear that the collapse of the 3 WTC buildings was due to controlled demolition.

It will be important for the world-society to know what happened exactly on 9/11, and the research and investigation of AE911Truth is a valuable contribution to this aim.

There is no reason why the truth should be clouded by lies and deceit. The only logic that fits the reasons for not having a full investigation into 9/11 is to protect criminals trying to pose as protectors making boatloads of money on weapons contracts and oil fields. I may not be a credited scientist but flat out I know my science and the falsehoods used to explain 9/11 in the official account defy logic, gravity, metallurgy, physics, and simple facts. Maybe flat earth is coming back or maybe not either way history accounts for everything that has happened and usually the only thing sought centuries down the road is truth above the lies especially when the men lying are dead. I would say its time the truth has its day in fact from that day on it should be and lies we shouldn't even bother with much less liars. I say we need to nail these men to the wall and make sure history records the truth from those who were there and those who actually investigated. I was in New York from 1998-2002 I had worked at different places and alot of the people who parished were my customers and I side with giving them justice not those who would do them none.

I hold a Master of Architecture degree from SUNY Buffalo, 1991. I have worked in almost every city in NY, I have been licensed 24 years doing a variety of work from residential to industrial. My favorite project is a clock tower I did on the Robert Wesleyan College Campus.
I was on the phone with another architect on 9/11. We both noted the flashes on the floors below the collapsing floor when the towers came down. The news anchors or commentators said something about it but were quickly told that those flashes were electrical transformers on each floor being overloaded and it was not brought up again... 2 years later I was involved in demolishing 6 buildings in Kodak Park. I realized it was like watching 9/11 all over again. I have no doubt that WTC was controlled demolition. If the mast was not controlled it would have been a sideways fall killing 10,000 more. After one of our projects failed to demo correctly...low bidder...I can tell you the WTC jobs were very professionally done. So tragic. I tell everyone. Great work you are doing.

I have a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architectural (Structural) Engineering from Oklahoma State University. I was licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience in architectural design and management for commercial and residential projects. Currently, I am pursuing an interest in BIM (building information modelling) and 3D software and its role in presenting and documenting new construction.
I remember being very surprised by the collapse of the Twin Towers after the planes struck. Despite the damage and fires, it did not seem possible. I also remember reports of Building 7 being evacuated because it was expected to come down from sustained damage. I accepted the explanations given by the media. It wasn't until years later that I started examining the research of experts on this and other websites and rethinking my discomfort with the official account. From an understanding of steel failure, I would expect any collapse to be gradual and asymmetric. If the official story were true, it would be a major embarrassment to the US design and construction industry that these towers failed so catastrophically, especially Building 7. I want to stand on the right side of history. We all deserve a real investigation with subpoena power, that explores every possibility.

I hope that the US Government agrees to run an open & complete investigation of what really happened during 9/11. Let's uncover the actual truth of the collapse of ALL the buildings. Not the scripted story, but the verifiable, evidential, truth based upon an open professional inquiry. Thank you for your consideration.

The view of independent experts is obviously correct, it is physically impossible for a building to collapse at close to free fall acceleration, unless all resistance in the floors below has first been removed, requiring a blow out of all the columns on the floors below, in addition, localized damage could not produce a symmetrical collapse as seen in video footage of the collapse of building 7.

I was working in NYC for Urbahn Associates Architects when it happened, and the Port Authority was one of that office's clients, so we made field trips to the towers on a number of occasions. I've never been able to explain how the towers collapsed as they did if the collapse wasn't 'assisted' by explosives. I believe 85-90% of the towers below the point of impact couldn't have fallen because of the forces of the impacts and the heat generated by the burning jet fuel.

I have found that starting with the complete impossibility of a Boeing 757 hitting the ground in Shanksville at 500+ mph and disappearing completely, is a better starting point than the WTC discussion. People seem to be able to wrap their mind around the physics of that (non)event easier. This usually imparts some skepticism in them and makes it easier to then ask 'where's the plane' at the Pentagon. Then wait for them to have their own 'ah-ha' moment. You usually have earned some trust at this point and can dive into the WTC discussion. I of course have several relevant photos and videos on my phone to refer to which I believe reduces the preachyness aspect.'

It is obvious from the video evidence, to anyone who is not deliberately deceiving themselves, that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition, which would have taken days to set up. It is also beyond doubt that many explosions also took place both during and before the destruction of the WTC towers, which did not appear to collapse so much as to be blown out in all directions in many stages, with much of the concrete turning to dust before it hit the ground and tons of steel melting and folding in ways which could not happen at temperatures arising from jet duel and office fires. That NIST admits that it did not even look for evidence of explosives, in the face of hundreds of witnesses to the sounds and effectives of explosions, is already more than enough proof that it was not performing its duty to perform a thorough investigation.

The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 are all very similar to a controlled building demolition as opposed to a collapse cause by localized impact high in the building. The official government findings do not offer a reasonable explanation for this collapse. A thorough and scientifically credible investigation and disclosure of the actual means of collapse is needed for the public and professional community to understand how this national disaster happened.

It is necessary that civil society in general, and that includes the professionals in their respective fields, take active part in police inquiry and helping the police and authorities to establishing the truth. This may include sometimes fighting against the temporary autorities at a particular time, but this risk and responsibility is the minimum price to pay if one wants to live in a democracy worth the name.

I do not accept the official findings for the collapse of the three World Trade Centre buildings. The official inquiry was not broad enough, and specifically excluded the consideration of deliberate implosion, ie a controlled demolition. Significant physical, video and witness statements evidence exists to support the controlled demolition theory, but has never received a thorough investigation.

This crime is one of the most heinous imaginable. Not only were the buildings destroyed and people murdered, but our way of life - our democracy has been altered.

The question now is who and why?
