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.

Not enough investigation by far.

The manner in which Twin Towers fell. Again, no airline passengers and luggage, and mismatched aircraft debris. Pennsylvania crash, similar thing.

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.

I am still shocked by the large number of victims from the 9/11 attacks, and I want know the truth. If we can't identify the perpetrators now, justice will eventually find them. In my country in the 1980s, terrorism did much damage; thousands of attacks left 70,000 victims. Part of it was also state-sponsored terrorism.

Occupation: Radiopharmaceuticals
I have worked in pharmaceutical industry regulatory affairs and as an instrument technician and Metrologist/Calibrationist of laboratory instruments. I currently produce a drug known as F-18 FDG, a radioisotope tracer used for diagnosis of cancers and tumors and observation of abnormal tissue. This is the primary agent used for PET imaging of humans and saves countless lives.
Anyone who thinks analytically in the slightest and has played with blocks as a child or even piled stones into a cairn knows that constructs never collapse in identical fashion unless they are built to do so and collapsed in a very particular way. To believe that two of the world's tallest buildings would come down this way, like telescoping into their basements due to a side impact and fire, is either stupid or easily deceived. These buildings were demolished. Of that, I am certain. I knew it when I saw them fall and the dust cloud smothered the city, that it had been blown up. All the surviving firemen talking about secondary explosions... Caused by what? Leaking natural gas couldn't cause what they described. That means people caused the demolition. But why? I think that the documents by the group known as PNAC gives us a look at who and why. We already know how. Add to this the detail that G.W. Bush has purchased a large acreage ranch in Paraguay, a country known for its harboring of wanted former dictators and without extradition to any country. Joseph Mengele the Nazi Dr. of Death and Augusto Pinochet, and many other ranking German fugitives fleeing Nuremburg justice and banana republic despots have found safety there. If he were wanting to invest inland, why there with a reputation like it has? Because he needs a place to run if and when America learns the truth. There have been trials where people were convicted of murder based on evidence that appears very similar and a subject has motive (PNAC provides), opportunity. The PNAC signatories include Cheney and Wolfowitz, and an alarming number of other Republican leaders and presidential cabinet members. I think persons at this level could easily have something like this done. The ranch in Paraguay is like a ticket out of town and big enough for all of them and their kids. These guys also attempted to force the Taliban and the new Iraqi government to sign treaties that would have tried to force them to give or sell at reduced rates about 70% of their oil to US companies. The Taliban refused a lobbyist named Hamid Kharzaias as many as 4 times the last after being entertained at GW Bush's ranch in Crawford TX. He refused to allow us to build a pipeline from the Caspian sea region in Russia to the Persian for transit via tanker ship to USA. They had their reasons, what those were is not important. After that refusal we invaded and installed Kharzai as President of Afghanistan. You better believe he signed the pipeline agreement the first moment. If the goal was freeing folks why do they need to give us rights to heir biggest and best national resource? Why was the Taliban in Crawford and then their country invaded? Not because of Al Queda. I can believe now that Osama Bin Laden might have agreed to play Dr. Evil here for a promise he wouldn't be caught. The Iraqis have amassed billions but the PNAC folks aren't interested in that. There's far more to be had from oil in the future like control over other nations and the ability to subjugate the oil dependent nations. Add this all together and even if I've rambled something stinks to high heaven. All of this is not a coincidence and it points to George Bush, Dick Cheney, PNAC and the rest of the so-called Neocons who also have Coincidentally been linked to election fraud and other skullduggery. You believe all this is innocent? I have at least 7 other deadly lies I'd like to show you but you won't like many of them either starting with The check's in the mail. Mostly I can't print the others

William Fields
So Hamilton, MA
I'm just a small town architect involved primarily in the design of wood frame residential structures with nearly fifty years of experience in architecture, thirty-two as a registered architect with the last twenty-eight in a private practice I share with my partner. Because of my years of experience I was granted permission to take the professional exam on the condition I passed all of the required pre-qualifying exams, of which there were five if I recall correctly. I did so in 1980 and passed the architectural licensing exam in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1981. I have no experience with high rise structures but I do believe that logic trumps the nonsense written between the front and back covers of The 9/11 Commission Report. In my view the report is more fiction than fact.
The manner in which the towers fell could only have been through controlled demolition. I've witnessed enough of them through videos and even in person to know this. Initially I presumed the attack, blamed on radical Muslims, was blowback for the horrific foreign policy of the US government. My belief that the attack was blowback has not diminished in the light of new evidence which suggests factions in the US government had prior knowledge of the attacks and not only did nothing to prevent them but complemented them to stage the catastrophe that would ensure the nation's sympathy for a Middle east confrontation. I stand by my belief today that the correct response to this criminal act would have been to find and prosecute the culprits, foreign and domestic, responsible for those acts of terrorism. The actual path chosen only reinforces my belief that the US government played a significant role.

I am convinced, after having researched the Web for 10 years on this subject, that the American public has been LIED to on the events of 9-11. It is clear to me that there should be a reopening of the investigation on 9-11 to include all the elements that have been uncovered since. To me, the USA people are on a dangerous path presently, completely caught in a web of obfuscation and deceit on the REAL activities and purposes of their government. And the whole planet is endangered and will suffer by it.

All towers collapse in a fashion way that suggests control demolition. Financial transactions in the days before the attack suggest that certain individuals used foreknowledge of the attack to reap huge profits. Geopolitical needs to stabilize West oil supply and the construction of a pipeline to secularize it in Afghanistan are at stake, even the search for rare earths which West is desperately in needs. War and corporate machines and their political puppets are the most probable suspects in the worst economic and political scandal since the Contra affair, Vietnam war or WW2. Proof of these coincidences and huge acts of corruption were destoyed in the collapses of WTC 1 & 2, and most probably in WTC 7. Media are to blame too. They hide the search for the truth since they are part of the corporate mafiosi.

The free fall speed of the fall of the World Trade Center buildings makes it impossible to believe the official version of what happened on 9/11. We know from credible eyewitness testimony that there were explosions occurring in the Towers that had nothing to do with the aircraft that hit them. The coincidence of this and seeing the perfectly cut metal showing damage to the steel supports points to intentional work to make sure that the Towers did not just collapse because of the fire in the building caused by the aircraft. This must be studied.

I am convinced that the World Trade Centers and WTC Building 7 were brought down using controlled demolition. It is intuitively obvious to me. I attended high school in Baltimore with family members of the original firm that performed controlled demolitions and have been aware of this approach since the late 1960s. I have seen videos of many controlled demolitions over the years, and I know one when I see one. The question is, was the US government involved? Let's open the investigations and let the chips fall where they may. We live in an open society, and must safeguard and improve transparency and truthfulness in government.

There are so many implausibilities (if not impossibilities) and unanswered questions about 9/11 that a truly thorough new investigation is imperative. The questions are raised by people who are by no means crackpots or individuals with an animus against the U.S. government. Rather, they are highly intelligent and conscientious.

Since 9/11 is the birthday of my only child I really want to know one day what really happened. We watched the fall down of the Twin Towers live on German TV. After the tremendous shock this day we've seen the scenes many times in the following days. And started discussions of how buildings of that height can fall down within themselves in more or less 10 seconds. Especially WTC 2 that was hit at a corner and it was obvious that the top of the tower started to fall to one side before it suddenly fell straight within itself. At this time we started wondering whether the buildings had been brought down controlled. After finding out that WTC 7 was hardly mentioned at all, but also fell straight down within some 7 seconds, that seemed too much of a coincidence. We then started to gather information about other towers of a similar structure that burned before and burned much longer but never fell down, and since that time we are rather skeptical about the official statements. Also we wonder for 10 years now where the hot temperatures came from that melted iron and kept this metal melted for weeks. To our knowledge it is more than unlikely that aircraft fuel can cause such high temperatures.

The evidence is compelling that a thermitic reaction brought down building seven. It appears to be a controlled demolition. If thermite was used on one building and its use was covered up, then it is logical that the same cause brought down the other buildings This single issue will define the American Republic. Justice must prevail or tyranny will reign. There must be a free and unbiased examination of the evidence and a public airing of the findings. Let me express my thanks to all the experts who dared to speak about this issue.

I knew it was a controlled demolition on 9/11 - the first time I saw the collapse. I seem to recall that - around that time - the controlled demolition if a Las Vegas casino had received publicity - with video. One if the interesting facts is that, on 9/10 - day before the WTC - Rumsfeld (sp?) announced that the Government had misplaced $2.3T - 25% of the defense budget. Of course, that got swept under the rug, given the next day's headlines.... The emphasis on WTC #7 is brilliant: no plan strike - why did it fall. Allows a paradigm shift, bringing the rest of the story into focus .

I am an attorney who lives in Washington, DC. In 2001 I worked at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th Floor of WTC 1. I was affected by two of the three 'ground zeros' that day. I have worked in power plant construction, including nuclear power plants and am pretty aware of the construction design and impact standards of modern buildings.
I have spent the last ten years reading about the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Islamic culture and religion. I came late to the question of what caused the buildings to collapse, but I remember thinking that it was strange that one airplane could make a steel reinforced building implode perfectly into its own footprint without even reacting to the impact of the planes from one direction.

Basic Laws of Physics regarding free fall in a vacuum make it plain to even the amateur that these were controlled demolitions. What we need to know is WHO? and WHY?. With the discovery of thermite residues, molten steel beams, the eye witness accounts of explosions in the basement and throughout the structures, video of charges going off in demolition-technology locations and timing all serve to demand the answer to those two questions.

I cannot believe that the twin towers fell so fast after having fires on only a few floors. I am skeptical of the theory put forward by the 911 commission. It does not even consider the collapse of Building 7.

I'm a retired lawyer and property manager. I served honorably in Vietnam. I love my country and founding documents.
The governments story is the least probable conspiracy theory! It's a shame that most people never ?? The media or authority.

I have studied engineering and law and worked in many technical, legal and aviation environments and it was always clear to me that the official story was a lie.
There are two facts which make the official story preposterous. One: World Trade Center 7 collapsed despite the fact that it was not hit by a plane and, Two: NORAD's interception rate is normally 100% so how do they miss four intercepts in a single day? Osama Bin Laden may or may not have flown planes into the WTC, but controlled demolition is the only reasonable explanation for the manner in which the buildings in NY fell. The theories are not mutually exclusive. A simple legislative history of the U.S. from 2001-2012 suffices to say that our country has dramatically changed in that period. Cui bono is the only question that remains to be answered.

I'm not an architect, I'm an attorney who places high value on research to discover the truth.
The scientific evidence is so strong that these buildings were intentionally demolished. We deserve to know why, and by whom. The families of those whose lives ended on that day deserve to know the reason their loved ones perished. The entire nation deserves to know the truth about those who would rule our country.

I've worked in a variety of fields and raised two children as a single mother.
The scientific and engineering arguments are convincing, but I am still bothered that: 1) no fighter jets were scrambled in time to prevent the attacks; 2) government leaders were not immediately hurried to a secure location; and 3) President Bush did not react to the news of the attacks.

His interests and hobbies include, traveling, reading, scuba diving, sky diving, politics, piloting small aircraft and helicopters and absolutely anything connected to gizmos and gadgets.
The collapse of the buildings on 9/11 can only be attributed to controlled demolition. The free-fall speeds and concomitant, pyroclastic flows cannot occur otherwise, certainly not from petroleum-based fires incapable of producing sustained temperatures necessary to melt the steel columns that supported the structures. That there were explosions in the buildings BEFORE the airplanes struck is a matter of both credible, eyewitness testimony and seismic records. The additional explosions taking place during the collapse of the buildings can readily be seen on the numerous videos taken during the event.

I do not believe a plane hit the Pentagon, nor the ground in Shanksville, PA. I think the evidence shows that a drone hit the Pentagon, and the plane in PA was shot down, as Donald Rumsfeld admitted on a video. I believe Building 7 was demolished since it was reported on BBC 20 minutes before it fell, and I saw video of firefighters warning people to clear building 7 because there was a bomb in it and it was coming down. These facts were ignored by the 9/11 Commission, along with the trillions missing from the Pentagon. I saw many videos the day of the attack which showed explosions, which were omitted by the official reports. The only thing that has been hijacked is our government and the Bill of Rights. If Congress fails to investigate, they are complicit and will go down in infamy in the history books.
