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 am a mechanical engineer by education, but practiced mostly in Project Management in the polymer, non-wovens, petrochemical, and refining industries.
Not only are the twin tower collapses in question, but the plane crash into the Pentagon needs further review. It seems unrealistic that more debris was not found on the site. Same goes for the PA plane crash in the middle of a field. Further investigation is needed in all 4 plane crashes. It smells like a cover up.

I have simply been following the news and video's about 9/11. I do not have any particular degree, just wanted to show my support.
I have no reason to believe that the Bush admin. (or any other for that matter) are any more honest or innocent than say the brutal Roman powers 2000 years ago, amongst a whole slew of other corrupt governmental powers throughout our collective history (including many that are currently in power throughout the world). I think it is quite clear, or rather glaringly obvious, that something happened on 9/11 that 'they' don't want us to know, and I'm pretty sure We as The People are not going to be too happy when it is finally revealed, if (and that's a big if) it is ultimately revealed at all.

On 9/11/2001, I noticed on TV that the plane hitting the south tower ignited the very instant the nose hit the building. How strange I thought, as the fuel is supposed to be inside the wings. I think that not only Americans, but people all over the world, deserve a more accurate explanation than the official theory. The work done by AE911truth is the most scientific, objective and open discussion that I know.

I have two years' experience with utility hardware marketing and technical support, and three years' experience with electrical design layout and specification.
The freefall acceleration of Building 7, which NIST admits to, is not explained credibly by their computer model. The twin towers should not have fallen at all, since they were in static equilibrium, then suddenly explosively collapsed through the path of most resistance.

There is too much evidence that points toward that this was perpetrated by our own government. They must think we are all stupid or something. Most people know what a controlled demolition looks like. Whether it's a building or large amounts of earth being blown up. They both have a timed sequence.

I have completed 4 years as a mechanical engineering technician. I have taken classes such as metallurgy, physics and many others that really help to understand how these collapses did not happen as they were portrayed.
I believe 9/11 absolutely did not happen how the media and the rest of the world portrays it. Anyone who can look past what the U.S Government and NIST has told us, and use their own head, can easily see this was a classic controlled demolition. There are way too many unknowns and impossibilities for all these events to happen as the U.S Government says it did.

I have been watching 9/11 videos for 15 years. It's about time the truth comes out about how it was planned. I'm a union Ironworker of 12 years and know the characters and reactions of steel beams and columns.
Steel I beams do not melt from office fires, it takes a torch or some other kind of chemical reaction. Even if the jet fuel 'could' melt steel, the free fall speed isn't realistic. If 4-6 floors collapsed onto others and then others etc., eventually the remaining 40-60 floors would give great resistance and slow the speed of destruction down significantly.

The destruction of the three towers as documented by video absolutely defies any official narrative about airline collisions or fires. The rapid collapse so resembling a planned demolition can only be explained as being exactly that.

Some problems with the official story.... 1) The near free fall of 3 buildings (Twin Towers and WTC 7) the same day is very strange 2) Violation of Newton Law 3) Very, very high level of steel corrosion (sulfur) produced by which kind of reaction? 4) Temperature max of normal fires do not reach the melting point of steel 5) Microspheres found in the dust (exothermic reaction due to thermite thermate ?) 6) Fireman heard a lot of explosions 7) Some pictures show holes like Swiss cheese and in the Ground floor the steel pillars was cut at 45' (like demolition). I believe that UL (safety consulting and certification company) made a real good job to calculate and erect these towers. This was either an inside job at the US government level or a false flag operation.

This was a well planed demolition. The single most successful demolition I have ever witnessed. There was likely A Thermite reaction of aluminum oxide blast media common makeup is Al2O3. There was nothing in an office building that could create a Crucible atmosphere needed to melt steel. Yet I watched as molten metal sprayed out of the side of the Twin Towers. The buildings fully Engulfed in Flames could have gone on burning for days without any serious structure damage. Yet to fall completely to the ground in ten seconds in just over one hour was a perfect demolition and nothing more.

I have a high school diploma and have done some self education into metallurgy and construction.
I am a natural born free thinker and I strive to uncover truths that others are either unwilling and afraid to uncover or are in disbelief of. I only have a high school education but that doesn't prevent me from seeing how idiotically the perpetrators of the 9/11 World Trade Center bombings failed to cover up the fact that it was an inside job. And what's even more idiotic is how willing the public is to swallow every lie the mainstream media throws at them and aren't willing to use their own brains to come to their own conclusions.

I just want an honest investigation into of the contradictory evidence to the official story on a public platform where both sides can debate the truth as they see it and as the evidence suggests. I would like the facts on both sides to be acknowledged and refuted if they can be. If the conspiracy claims have no merit, then they should be easily debunked. But seems to me the government spends most of their time and effort trying to silence and ignore legitimate inquiries about the inconsistencies in their story. I'm for an open debate.

On leaving school I served a 4 year craft engineering apprenticeship in the chemical industry. I returned to education and gained a university degree in Metallurgy and Materials Science and then worked in the armaments industry making military ordnance, working in the Metallurgical department and later quality control. I had a secondment to R&D to provide metallurgical input about materials to be used for a brand new ordnance design. I had a placement in R&D where I was able to view research on armour design and armour piercing artillery rounds, and was given demonstrations on the use of plastic explosives on steel structures.
I do not have a specific expertise in demolition or the specific design of thermite explosive charges. I am however well acquainted with the operation of thermite lances which utilises the same chemical principles to generate the intense heat necessary to melt holes in concrete. I can fully appreciate the scientific significance of the extensive amounts of microscopic, previously molten iron droplets & the large amounts of molten steel found, and their link to the unburnt thermite found in the wreckage of the twin towers. The heat necessary to produce this effect on the steel could not possibly have come from the aviation fuel fire in my opinion.

Building number 7 was taken down in a controlled demolition (as were the other two buildings as seems quite clear to a thinking person by watching and paying attention to the videos). The demolition of a building the size of building 7 would take days if not weeks to plan and execute, and yet it was ready for demolition within a matter of hours. The disregarded eye witness testimony of dozens of on-site employees and NYC firefighters, the almost instantaneous conclusions and blame placed by the 'investigative' agencies (without investigation), the removal of the towers steel structures which made forensics on them impossible, and the massive evidence that the cause of the destruction in NYC and Washington were not as the official version asserts makes it clear that we have not been told the truth!

I've been a journeyman electrician for 35 years, seven of which were in a foundry that had 80-ton induction furnaces that made air craft carrier and trident submarine propellers, so I have exposure to metallurgy and large molten metal castings.

I worked in a high-speed pipe manufacturing facility for another seven years. Currently I am an electrician at the University of Pennsylvania.
More than a decade before 9/11, I personally witnessed two live controlled building demolitions, so when I saw WTC Building 7 come down, it certainly appeared to have all the same characteristics of a planned and controlled demolition. Also, I saw the news clip of a British woman journalist that reported live that WTC 7 had collapsed while the building was still standing. As time went by, so many other pieces of this tragedy were revealed that made the 9/11 Commission's official report questionable, if not outright lies. These inconsistencies in my mind are enough to prove a major cover-up of epic proportion of a 'conspiracy'.

I watched the whole event unfold in Anchorage, Alaska, from the first reports, and witnessed the second airplane strike live. The shock of that morning will be with me until the day I die. I particularly recall WTC Building 7 collapsing and wondered why the building fell so cleanly. The official NIST report dismissed the demolition conspiracy theories at the time, and I took it at its word, as engineers had made those conclusions. Now the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, study has shattered my confidence that the WTC 7 structural collapse was a fire driven failure. A formal inquiry is now needed to put this issue to bed and technically refute, or support the UAF study findings.
