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.

A severed and falling building segment will decelerate as its kinetic energy is reduced by the deformation of the columns and stories below. The opposite was observed on 9/11. The segments accelerated through the towers towards the ground at nearly free-fall. This is direct evidence that supports a theory of controlled demolition, while proving the falsity of the official explanation without doubt.

I have been in the construction business since 1974, and in the field of construction and demolition since the mid 1960s. If it doesn't look right, it's probably not, is a general principle of practical, 9/11/01 isn't close to passing the smell test.
I wanted to believe the official 9/11 story, but nothing fit the official model. I've studied the 9/11 experience for years and find that Dr. David Ray Griffin, Richard Gage and many others have honest answers. We have to bring this truth to critical mass, to start to get this world back on track.

As a service technician, a had the oportunity to visit the world trade center in a few occacions and had the pleasure to admire its huge steel walls. I have a hard time to imagine that those concrete floors turn into ash when the buildings collapse, then I remember working with big multimillion dollar machines that are use to turn concrete into grabel and the time and maintenance that this machines go thru, therefore I can not believe their version or reason for this giants to collapse.

As a former explosives blaster with working knowledge of micro detonators used to precisely control patterned detonation, I was concerned from the first day of 9/11 by the way Building 7 fell. I remember on 9/11 that Dan Rather was reporting explosions. I was surprised with how quickly the govt was leaking information to the press about all the alleged Saudis who allegedly committed 9/11. Finding out later about NORAD having orders to stand down on 9/11 does cast doubt on the official version of events.

I'm an explosive tech currently and have been doing so for the past 5 years, and also have worked in the Oil field of Canada for 5 years as well, rough necking for drilling contractors.
Being around explosive on a daily basis have made me aware or the certain signature the explosives carry. Two things that are clearly evident are the sounds of explosives going off in a timed manner, and the concussion of the blast blowing out the windows. Also rumors of the Demolition company (C.D.I) being present on 9/11, they're the first people to be aloud on the rubble of the fallen towers. Standard practice of any blaster, he's got to be the first to clear his work and deem it safe.

Went to H.S. with Doug Loizeaux so I had a unique insider look while I was employed by them. I had work in the book Implosion published by Black Dog publishing.
My background and knowledge about how and why a building can be imploded leaves no doubt that the government lied continually about the event called 9/11. There is no doubt that this was a timed explosive implosion event and certainly not due to fire as reported.

I have fabricated steel using every tool and method to do such. I have a multitude of certifications and have been in management for the past 4 years.
I find it hard to believe that the cause of the collapse of any of the three buildings on 9/11 to be caused by fire. I have done a significant amount of research regarding what transpired on 9/11 and the evidence proves otherwise. I am very familiar with what is required to alter, weaken or destroy a steel structure as I work with engineering firms on a daily basis.

I'm a former construction and demolition professional. Granted, I've never worked with explosives, but I'd still say that I have a fair level of hands-on understanding of the mechanical processes involved in demolition, including how materials should NOT behave.
My first thought upon watching the events unfold on television was, quite literally, this doesn't look right. I have never, even when I tried, been able to accept the official story. But what can you do? When brow-beaten with academic terminology I don't understand, my only option is to bite my tongue, even though I KNOW that buildings don't just collapse like that.

I believe without a doubt, the buildings were in fact brought down with explosives, as is evident in the energy release of large heavy pieces of debris, and pictorial evidence of cutting explosives used to cut through heavy steel structure, as seen with demolition staging on old steel frame buildings. Also, the fact that most fuel burned off in the fireballs at impact, and that uncontrolled burn of non pressurized, non aerosol jet fuel will only achieve 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, far lower than structural steel needs for melting. that combined with the total pulverization of the concrete floor slabs, not possible with just inertial collapse.

I have limited experience in construction and demolition, as well as basic physics. All of this along with the interesting evasive nature of those in charge afterward make it easy to suspect an issue.
There were a lot of people involved that said things like they heard many small explosions as the building came down, not one loud groaning crash. There was a lot of photographic evidence, as well as the experts in demolition saying the poles looked as though they had been burned at an angle, like in a controlled demolition with anthrax.

The theory that fire was the reason the buildings came down is ridiculous and an insult to our intelligence. We deserve better as Americans. The fact that the buildings fell at very near the speed of gravity is more than enough reason to demand a new, and truthful investigation.

For 2 buildings that tall to collapse into themselves would be a demolitions teams wet dream. Just lite a big fire 3/4 of the way up,and they fall in a heap. The way the large beams were cut on a 45 degree is the same way we cut the steel supports when we salvage. One of the planes looks like it took out a main corner support. If anything the top section would have toppled off.

1. How did the BBC report on the destruction of WTC Building #7 occur before it was actually demolished??? I have many other questions on this topic. 2. The Pentagon, one of the most highly protected facilities in the world, show me some type video surveillance of the large passenger jet liner as it approached and impacted the facility. That would answer a whole lot of questions in everyone's minds. 3. What happened to all the wreckage and human remains from flight 93 minutes after it occurred??? I do not believe in magic.

The speed and uniformity considered with the phenomena of pulverization and superfine heated particulate indicate something much more than a simple demolition. There are those that will argue against controlled demolition because you cannot explain how it was done. What was done cannot be effected by mere planted charges and experts to confirm that are readily available as long as someone is trying to disprove controlled demolition. Assertion of controlled demolition without full explanation can render it impossible to those who do not want to believe it. Meanwhile NO official can carry demands for investigation of controlled demolition to Congress or the Senate without trashing their career. A demand for a limited investigation into deceptions regarding the structure is safe and reasonable. Meaning that exposing the core deception is actually the ONLY way to get the truth.

If the building has collapsed because of the official reasons given, then certainly more research has to be done to establish whether current building codes are still valid, or should be adjusted to new fire scenario calculations. More research is also needed on the collapse of the concrete center construction. How could it be affected by the heat.

I never even wasted my time looking or listening to these crazy conspiracy ideas, until I saw Building 7 collapse and started working backwards, the sequence of events and the DENIAL from the Government. I really do not think anyone can come up with a logical and detailed explanation of how 9/11 happened, but again, we do not have to prove anything, would be nice if someone from the Government could at least answer some key question so we could rest our case!

I have lived in Alberta for over 10 years, I have also seen many documentaries on how Explosions work!
Due to the near vertical collapse of the buildings, coupled with the small bursts of what appear to be explosions going off throughout both towers before #1 and #2 fell, along with #7, there must have been explosives in the buildings, prior to the planes hitting...The rate at which they fell at near free fall speed, gives credence to this explosives theory and discredits the official explanation as there being a, 'Pancake' collapse of the buildings.

Hands on design, building and demolition in many fields- e.g. Res. & comm., marine and boats, theatrical sets, sculpture, furniture, millwork, etc. Self employed the last 40 years in several parts of the country. Many credit hours in structural engineering, res. architecture, yacht design and archeology. Accreditation for these particular pursuits has been a fairly recent requirement- My buildings are notable and have stood the test of time, trauma and remodeling. Rarely must I seek out commissions.
My first response, even as I watched the initial stunning clips of those events was the awful suspicion that it was too neat, too skillful and convenient to be other than an inside job. A chilling conclusion that was slowly but irrevocably re-enforced as evidence accumulated. That it was a planned demolition appeared certain even during those harrowing times.
