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 worked in the South Tower for almost 2 years, 1984 and 1985, doing renovation construction. I knew those buildings and this NONSENSE has harmed us enough. We were attacked by our OWN GOVERNMENT with or without the part al Quada played. NO reason for Building 7 to fall. NO 757 crashed into the Pentagon. NO WAY a building of that structure could have fallen without controlled demo charges especially STRAIGHT DOWN. This was the American version of the Nazi burning of the Reichstag.

Alex Wright is primarily an argument scholar with a MA in Rhetorical Criticism, yet studying argument and discursive interaction leads one into other relevant areas of analysis, especially when arguments contain technical information from the spheres of the hard sciences.
As mentioned in the bio, I am not an Engineer or Architect, yet I am an argument scholar. The egregious discrepancies regarding the destruction of the WTC complex between the works of Richard Gage, Frank Legge, Kevin Ryan, Gordon Ross etc. and all three of the NIST reports (2005, 2006, 2008) and the 9/11 Commission Report warrants serious critical attention by the masses.

I have working in the oil industry for 21 years. I am currently employed with Noble Drilling Services, a major offshore drilling contractor, as director of engineering for research and development.
I was shocked by 9/11. As an optimist I gave the official story the benefit of the doubt. I am not a believer in conspiracies but your documentary gave me pause. If there is a hint of impropriety in the official story, then it is likely to only be the tip of the iceberg. I hope to god it is wrong, but in my profession, hope doesn't cut it. I need to see evidence that makes sense. The NIST backtracking and weak arguments don't reassure me; as an engineer, I understand the issues raised. Also, in my industry, an objective third party review is always used. I would expect the same from our government.

Immediate suspicion of the 'official' narrative was allayed by BBC and media reports that special design features of the towers might have made them unusually vulnerable to aircraft impact. It was a couple of years before I learned that Building 7 came down in free fall. This information started me on a search for truth...David Ray Griffin's series of books on this topic have been my best source of well-referenced evidence.

When I first saw the events on that day, I thought, for sure, there had to be explosives used in the towers. I was disgusted that it took so long for an 'investigation' to take place. The 'investigation' did not uncover any truth about the events. I have lost much faith in the way our nation operates.

The basic laws of physics just didn't disappear on 9/11 because a government said they did.Multiple columns of steel cannot all at once, in one instant, suddenly lose all structural integrity and disappear to allow everything supported by them to collapse at free fall speeds because of kerosene or office fires.You can see they were all blown up.Why doesn't the US government release all CCTV footage from 9/11? Like the Pentagon, there must be lots of CCTV footage from around the WTC that has never been shown.

I grew up in Coatesville, PA during the 50s & 60s. Coatesville is where the steel for the 'forks' at the base of the WTC were made.
"My father, Russell W. Newkirk, was one of the inspectors that ok'd the steel to be used. He had over 40 years experience as the primary inspector at Lukens Steel/LukenWeld. After the towers fell he said over and over, 'No way, that's impossible!' He died less than a year after 9/11 always saying, ""What about Building 7?"" and ""Those bastards pulled another Pearl Harbor, I'll betcha."" He was a decorated US Navy 1st Class during WWII. For him to say and believe that he had to admit to himself that there were evil entities in the US Gov't. at the highest levels. It killed him."

The denial of bombs and the near free fall of the buildings do not make sense. The removal of evidence was criminal and needs to be addressed along with the similarities to the U.S. government's involvement with the proposed plan in the 1960's to make us retaliate against Castro by using planes in the same fashion as 9/11.

WTC 7 was clearly a conventional implosion. Towers were a 'banana peal' explosion using conventional thermate to cut core columns, and nanothermite to sequentially explode exterior walls, from top to bottom..Planes were merely a distraction, a red herring...

We produce products with CNC machines, weld, use and manufacture cutting torches. I have owned this business 10 years, we mainly manufacture aluminum cast products.
I know for a fact that molten aluminum DOES NOT appear orange, red, or any other color other than a silvery metallic color. I have seen molten aluminum ignite when exposed to air, however, it does not spark! There is absolutely no way aluminum could ignite a steel beam. Molten aluminum, if exposed directly to concrete, can cause the concrete to explode, however, it would need to be a very large contained vessel in direct contact with the concrete.

I have completed general education (K-12th grades) and two years of college... but did not complete a degree program. I have 23 years as a clinical herbalist... and am currently a clinical herbalist, and educator. I have been traveling to Europe for the past two years, and gave many public presentations there, about the value of plant medicines, and about re-connecting with the healing properties of herbal medicine.
I have watched many documentaries about the 9/11 event, and find there are far too many unanswered questions about exactly what happened. I personally feel that our own government planned and executed these attacks upon our own country and upon its own citizens... causing the terrible loss of life of over 3,000 people... and terrible destruction in the Manhattan area. We need to get to the bottom of this, no matter WHERE the investigation may lead, or how high (in the government structure) the responsibility goes. It is a disgrace (and probably what was planned)... that we let this event galvanize public opinion against the Muslim world (in general).... and did not hold the country ARABIA.... (from which most of the supposed 'terrorists' came), responsible.... instead of Iraq. I believe that this entire event was contrived and acted on...by those who wanted (exactly) to run our nation into an endless war scenario.... and to create a false sense of terror... so that they could have a reason to escalate the security levels in all areas of our life... which are totally unnecessary. The subsequent loss of our freedoms in the United States, via such outlandish new laws as the 'patriot act' and the 'National Defense Authorization act'..... is appalling and unacceptable to me as a United States citizen !!

Forty plus yr. as pipefitter/welder with extensive knowledge of carbon steel and stainless steel weldments common to industrial pressure piping systems. Having spent many years on various construction projects I have acquired a basic knowledge of structural steel also.
Upon viewing the television footage of the collapse of the Towers on the morning of 9/11 I immediately thought 'that looks just like a controlled demolition'! Some time later, when it was declared that jet fuel fires had heated massive structural steel components to the point of failure, I was absolutely certain that I was being lied to. Based on my knowledge of oxy/acetylene heating/cutting and the temperatures required to soften carbon steel vs what temperatures can be reached by a diesel/jet fuel flame in open air (only randomly impinging on steel components) I concluded this to be impossible.

The majority of my service was in artillery. I have had explosives training, conducted many close air support missions and have seen the results of military ordnance of all kinds. And not only that, although I consider myself a very intelligent man, I was completely accepting of the official story at first, but I distinctly remember having a feeling, as I looked at the buildings burning, that they were going to come down the way they did. And I actually sat and watched the TV waiting for them to come down. It was just a gut feeling.
It is plain to see (unless all of the video evidence has been falsified, which is beyond impossible) that the twin towers were blown apart from the top down, throwing tons of structural steel laterally. The scientific evidence that thermite explosives were used has been peer reviewed and verified. The video and eye witness evidence of WTC 7 clearly shows foreknowledge of demolition.

But after initial shock, started to have doubt about the validity of the official story. I started to read and watch all independent investigations about 9/11 and soon became convinced beyond doubt that the official version is UNTRUE and it was a false flag operation. I was happy to see AE911TRUTH being formed by Mr. Gage and others and stayed in touch with the organization. I am an enthusiast to tell people about 911truth whoever cares to listen, but now I see lot of disinterest in knowing truth. I believe in truth and that truth ultimately prevails.

Anyone who takes the time to truly investigate the 9-11 tragedy will find problems with nearly every aspect of the official account. We are told in essence that the planes at Shanksville and the Pentagon evaporated, that the twin towers fell at free fall speed, in pancake fashion, without explosives to remove the resisting floors, and that the Solomon Brothers (Building 7) fell at free fall speed due to a few fires on a few floors. Even a cursory knowledge of physics reveals that all of these things are impossible. We've not only been lied to, but it isn't even a decent lie.

I understand why it is difficult for many to consider the facts about the event of 9/11, even when the evidence is overwhelming in pointing to explosive devices planted and being used in the demolition of 3 skyscrapers. It is difficult to accept that one's government would cover up the truth and raises the question of 'why?'

I was an 18 yr old Illinois National Guard Infantryman and student at McHenry County College when I watched the two towers collapse. Even at that young age I knew that those buildings were demolished. I vividly remember talking to my father on the telephone shortly after the second building fell and saying to him that, 'it looks like they were demolished'. I really hope that all of the evidence will be looked at more closely because people like Steven Jones from BYU have done the research and found the residues that indicate that explosives were used.

WTC 7 was not hit by a plane yet it still fell in a manner reminiscent of buildings destroyed by explosives. Two planes hit, three buildings fell. Office fires can't get hot enough to melt steel. A smattering of small office fires can't cause every steel beam in a modern high rise office building to fail simultaneously and bring a building into free fall. The official explanation does not make sense. A new investigation should take place to discover what happened on 9/11 and to discover who is responsible for it and those people should be brought to justice.

I set my focus on Bldg. 7: Occam's Razor suggests the simplest solution is the most likely. In short: Bldg. 7 free-falls into its own footprint as if it were a controlled demolition; then it most likely was a controlled demolition. The politically motivated 9/11 Report and the break-neck speed and brutal thoroughness with which the government buried any evidence creates more questions than answers.

I have a precise, visual eye, and from the moment I witnessed (on television) the collapse of the three World Trade towers on September 11, 2001, I was convinced the impact and jet fuel alone from the two airliners could not have possibly created the horrific, yet precise symmetrical destruction we all so vividly witnessed and still recall from that terrible day.

I am a life long public servant. I served in Iraq and Kuwait from 2001-2004 and was discharged honorably. I graduated with a bachelors in marketing management and an associates in applied sciences. I now own and operate a successful media company based out of northern New Jersey. I a strong advocate for Constitutional rights and human sovereignty. I am against tyranny in any form and will stop it at all costs.
I've always known 9/11 was an inside job. I was deployed in Kuwait when the events actually took place and was one of the first tank units on standby at the Kuwaiti border of Iraq waiting for orders to advance into the country. Thank God those orders never came. I am absolutely positive that those buildings did not fall because of the reasons our government has given us. A lot of good young men and women both Iraqi, Afghani, and American have died for a lie. The military industrial complex must be dismantled and destroyed for the betterment of the world.

I have studied architectural engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. I have been an escort official for the United States Air Force in the Nuclear Weapons Storage Area (which I can neither confirm nor deny exists) and i have held clearances that apply to such duties. I have been trained by the United States Air Force and the United States Navy. I have participated in countless exercises and was on active duty during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I was deployed overseas for an extended period of that time.
I question how it is possible that while both planes obviously flew off course and were tracked on radar for approximately 20 min, after the first plane struck there were 15 minutes during which the second plane was observed and not intercepted by any aircraft from either the US Air Force or the United States Navy. How is it that while we were obviously under a coordinated attack, our Commander in Chief remained in a building surrounded by children that was protected as being non-combatant by the Geneva Convention?
