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.

Upon witnessing the destruction of all three WTC buildings on TV as it happened, I have remained highly skeptical that an aircraft colliding with the two towers at the height above the ground that it occurred could have caused the two to collapse in the manner observed, and Building 7, not being hit by aircraft, collapsed in a typical manner by which demolished buildings implode.

A summary of the structural analysis of the twin towers, carried out by the firm of Worthington, Skilling, Helle & Jackson, which can be found in the 1964 files of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, claims : The buildings have been investigated and found to be safe in an assumed collision with a large jet airliner (Boeing 707-DC 8) traveling at 600 miles per hour. Analysis indicates that such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse. The planes hit the towers on 9/11 at 440 mph and 540 mph, so the kinetic energy was below the design parameter. No collapse should have occurred. The temperatures of the burning jet fuel should have been around 360'C, which have never ever in history damaged a steel structure. That's why the firefighters went up the towers to knock down the fire with two lines, as we could hear over their radio. Those buildings were demolished with explosives, like 118 firefighters witnessed. Employees of NYC, Michael Hess and Barry Jennings, confirmed also hearing explosions in WTC-7, when they were looking for their boss over there, mayor Giuliani, who was already posted in a safer headquarter. They were lucky to get out alive. It's interesting that the 9/11 commission dare not to give any official statement on how this building could possibly have collapsed, because the level of junk science they would need to prove this would surpass anything they performed on showing the twin towers collapsed due to only two forces : a plane impact and fire.

Four Army Achievement Medals/Good Conduct Medals: Meritorious Service Medal, NATO Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, and Combat Action Badge
I have watched at least a dozen documentaries that draw upon but conflict with the many mainstream news stories about what happened that day. I have read the NIST and 9/11 Commission Reports and found them to be highly implausible on their face. David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking is a comprehensive look at the events that day that raises serious questions. What AE911Truth asks is that only a sliver of the truth be discovered, a logical explanation for the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center buildings, without speculation, political bias, or secret agendas included. I support that effort because it is not only a reasonable demand that citizens of this country place upon its agent, the U.S. government, but one which is wholly fundamental to a continued free society. Evidence of thermite, free fall collapse in a demolition manner, and eye witness accounts which were excluded from evidence, must be reexamined publicly. My inquiry into this matter came as a result of being a photographer at the Pentagon that day, went inside the building and surrounding areas, and personally saw no reasonable evidence of a Boeing 757-223 having hit the Pentagon, although there was related debris. In light of the USG's historical false flag activity i.e. Gulf of Tonkin, it was reasonable to look into the possibility that Pentagon and NYC may be similarly staged events. The continued shroud of secrecy surrounding the events of 9/11, to include the non-release of dozens of surveillance videos that supposedly captured the plane hitting the Pentagon, only strengthen my position and resolve. I recommend that the official story be corrected to conform to the legally required guidelines of the Information Quality (Data) Act.

Trust has been broken because the government, its agencies, and leaders have promulgated the patently false official theory that fire destroyed the WTC Building 7 on 9/11/2001. The scientific and forensic evidence that has not been destroyed is more than sufficient to falsify this theory. It is long past time for a truly independent criminal investigation of the events before, during, and after 9/11 to be conducted. Then, those responsible must be held to account for their crimes. Only then, can the process of rebuilding trust between the people and their government be undertaken.

I strongly believe the collapse of the WT-buildings was not in agreement with the fundamental law of physics. There is no doubt in my mind that the whole event had been pre-engineered. It is just ridiculous to believe someone sitting in a cave in Afghanistan master-minded the whole operation. I believe elements inside US-administration must have been involved. I also have a strong sympathy for those who lost their loved ones on that day. They for sure have right to demand for a new independent investigation.

At the very least, official negligence can be proven, and worse, the FAA allowed hundreds of Saudis to fly out of the US when airspace was closed. Also, on the positive side, we must recall that lower Manhattan was efficiently evacuated by boat when roads and rail lines were closed -- evacuated by private citizens with no official help. This demonstrates that the people are strong and caring and cannot be suppressed.

The evidence does not support the US government's conclusions about what caused the 3 towers to collapse on 9/11. At the very least, this is a public safety issue, to investigate how office fires could have led to the complete destruction in steel-framed skyscrapers for the first time in history.

I was in Manhattan on 9/11. The official explanations were extremely unconvincing to me, then and now. Now that independent architects and engineers experienced in demolition and skyscraper fires have made their scientific report, it is obvious that a new and unbiased study must be made of what actually happened on that day, and who is actually responsible, - regardless of who they are.

The evidence on the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7 is clearly against the official explanations provided by the government of the USA. Scientific analysis of the material left after the destruction (e.g. melted steel, sulfur etc), the physical dynamics of the collapse witnessed by plenty of videos (free fall, horizontal throws of material etc), and the statements of the firefighters and people who survived the horrific event (series of explosions heard etc) have been studied by sound construction and physics experts, who concluded that the NIST's report is undoubtedly hiding the truth. The truth cannot be hidden for long, we have the tools and the global scientific knowledge to understand phenomenon of this kind, so it is necessary that the government proves to be honest in sharing the real story behind such a horrific event which caused a lot of innocent victims.

Based on my relevant education, experience and knowledge of structural engineering, I believe it is improbable, if not impossible for a structure to progressively collapse in the way that WTC 7 did, absent any outside motivators. Careful examination of the available evidence, including official reports, video and analysis, does not adequately explain the abrupt and total structural failure of this building. Additional questions remain, and I, along with my peers in the fields of engineering and architecture, demand an open review of all available evidence, including that which has not yet been made public to the American people.

After reading a great deal of material concerning the events surrounding 9/11 I have reached the conclusion that the Arab hijacking was a cover for the destruction of the WTC. In putting the pieces together, a likely scenario is that the hijacker who missed one of the flights was a double agent working for a foreign or domestic agency and that Flight 99 that crashed in PA was likely headed for Building 7 which had been prepared for CD destruction along with the Twin Towers. Destroying Building 7 prevented the discovery of this preparation but seriously weakened the official explanation for the collapse of all 3 buildings.

I remember vividly the events of September 11, 2001. From the very first day I was highly skeptical of the explanations we were being given. As a scholar concerned with architectural structure, I found it difficult to believe that the three WTC towers could have totally collapsed the way they did as a result of either planes crashing into their upper floors or from 'office fires'. I remember eye witness accounts that confirmed what I had seen: explosions coming from various levels of the Twin Towers. Several eye witnesses that day spoke of the buildings' coming down as resembling a controlled demolition, exactly my conclusion. During the following few days, I was outraged that the evidence at a murder scene was destroyed or carted away to New Jersey before a thorough investigation could take place.

I can not see an other explanation for the destruction of the three buildings other than that they were free falling and therefore brought down in a controlled manner. The fact that you can see detonations all the way down, the eyewitnesses that talks about explosions, even the autopsy of a young man that died in the FOIA that showed damages from explosions. The truth has to be revealed!

Although, not an engineer, I am a scientist and find the NIST report on the WTC buildings 1,2 &7 to be grossly inaccurate and negligent. Viewing the collapse of these buildings it is obvious they are a result of controlled demolition. I don't believe it necessary to have knowledge of structural engineering to understand the government explanation is wrong. Furthermore, the purposeful destruction and the unwillingness to consider all the evidence is disturbing.
