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.

There is no way the WTC buildings were brought down by fire and aircraft collision. That is an absurd concept.

The Truth is that huge, that it seems that only technicians, hiding behind their technical knowledge, dare to speak out their opinion about this terrible event about using explosives. Non-technicians are excused by not-understanding and do not compromise themselves. Is that why politicians prefer to act as technical imbeciles?

I watched the burning of the WTC towers and was confused by what I was seeing in the showers of sparks coming out of the building in various places. Then I was shocked, not only at the collapse of the buildings, but the near perfect collapse and virtual free fall.

I am the Safety and Quality Officer for REC Solar, Inc., a solar electric system integrator of residential, commercial, and federal government projects. I set the standards and policies for all construction safety, quality, and efficient installation practices. I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering from California Polytechnic Institute, San Luis Obispo. I hold an electrical contractor's license in the state of California, and a general electrical journeyman's license in the states of California and Hawaii. I am the responsible managing employee (RME) for our California market. The only active engineering I do is field engineer when going out to sites, review designs for some of our large commercial projects, or reverse engineer systems when we get quality issues to determine root causes so corrective actions can be made and sent out to the teams.
It is Sunday night, 10:31pm as I write this sentence. I just finished watching the truth about 911 video and I am very happy that there is an organization out there that is supporting finding the truth to truly hold accountable those who destroyed and killed thousands of people that day in the area of the World Trade Centers and WTC 7 building collapse. Every part of my physical and mental state of being to this point in time from all my field and academic experiences believes the evidence that was presented in the video presentation and I want and will support the cause for the truth. There are too many complacent people in the USA who want to go about struggling, living miserable existences, paycheck to paycheck, and complaining about a country that doesn't do enough for them and just not do anything about it. Mainly because they do not realize that they have been brain-washed by the media propaganda of consumerism due to the mass amounts of commercial advertising that is viewed either driving down the street, listening to the radio or seen during the countless hours of t.v watching that most Americans do. That is not me! I want to be part of the movement that stands up for what is right and true. I believe that the evidence presented in the video that I watched today has very serious implications of possibly our government and some of the biggest Corporate America companies creating the disaster that occurred to further propagate the fear that weaves itself through the American culture. This fear allows complacency, consumerism, and control for certain government official and corporate leaders to continue to gain more as the mass population gains less. That is all I have at this time.

I have designed many large structural projects over a 40 year span including such projects as a one million square foot industrial plant, largest oil and gas drilling rig capable of drilling to 25,000 feet below surface, and the largest freestanding steel cross standing 19 stories and weighing 2.5 million pounds (to name a few).
Engineering is the only exact science in the world -- we know how to erect structures and how to demolish them also. We do not practice engineering as the law and medical professions do. Without a DOUBT, these structures failed from a deliberate controlled demolition effort. There is not a tall slender structure anywhere that would fail in a symmetrical footprint mode like the 3 towers did unless it was designed to do so. Jet fuel combustion temperature would not even get close to the temps required to bring down the core columns of those structures (ASTM E-119 steel).

A peer reviewed journal describes thermite. There was literally negligible resistance on the way down, on a steel structure which had not incurred damage on lower floors. The other buildings nearly turned to dust. Something is amiss. I just want a more transparent and thorough investigation that doesn't rely on black box modeling.

I believe that 9/11, either caused by foreign terrorist or not, or partial known by our government, has created a security of blankets in our subconscious that we need to be protected. And so, our government has formed agencies, laws (ex: Patriot Act), and surveillance in our communication systems, so that today, we're suppose to be secure but yet we're not.

Relevant to this matter is separating physical facts from narratives driven by motives of power and money. Too many logical pointers direct us to a different and much more consistent chain of events than the official story. The mondial implications of unveiling the real story and the actual architects of this megalithic event could very well shake the very foundations of many people.

After seeing a lot of YouTube videos and reading plenty of articles on the internet I come to one conclusion only: the WTC buildings have been collapsed by means of explosives and not through fire alone. Never before have steel buildings collapsed by means of fire and on 9/11 three times. The WTC buildings collapsed at free fall speed, which cannot be explained through fire. Added to that are the thermo spots which remained for months, the nano temites specimen, the huge cloud dusts during the collapse.

I am a systems administrator / engineer with 23+ years in the field.
While I do not have any degrees from any school of 'higher learning' I have many hobbies / interests that had impact on how I processed the 9-11 incidents. General physics being one of those interests and aviation another the explanations, especially for the building collapses, was questionable from day one. I believed at the time, and still do, that for perhaps national security reasons those buildings were rigged during construction with a system to 'safely' drop them into a small area in the event of either structural failure or some unknown attack on their structure. They were huge targets that if brought down in an uncontrolled manner could have caused massive destruction in the city. Viewed through this filter it only makes sense that a responsible government would have insisted on this modification. The truly criminal act is lying about the program and misleading the public not to mention the families of those who lost a loved one in the disaster.

An analysis of the video evidence of the building collapses which occurred at the WTC on 9/11/2001 disproves the official narrative regarding the events of that day. All one needs do is apply the math associated with Sir Issac Newton Laws of Motion to, for example, the structural collapse of WTC1 to see that additional force beyond that of gravity alone is required to overcome the inertia of the floors below the impact area in order for the tower to collapse as rapidly as it did. - - - - Inertia, action/reaction for each floor impact... would take over a minute for those towers to come down in the manner which we can clearly see from available video footage of the event. This is simple high school physics.

I have seen the films, heard the statements from the specialists and witnesses and I am sure that this was a false flag operation carried out by people in the US government to justify their impending wars in the Middle East. Factions within our government were willing to kill thousands of American citizens to achieve their goals. Doing so resulted in the death of millions of innocent people in the Middle East.

As a test engineer, I deal with facts and data and how to break things. I understand that there is a large amount of structural engineering data that does not support the theory that all of the steel beams could have simultaneously failed due to a fire fueled by kerosene (AV Gas) which burns at a temperature of less than half the melting point of structural steel.

Having seen many videos of controlled demolitions prior to 9/11 it is clear to me from the outset that all three towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Therefore explosives of some type were used and the residue of them could be found if the search were made.
