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.

An obvious controlled demolition. A scandal of epic proportions, 9/11 was, in my opinion, orchestrated by a multi-level, compartmentalized secret fascist organization, global in scope, with a vast membership, most of whom have no idea of what they are doing, the details of the agenda or to whom they serve and to what end. Many are recruited as children, and asked to take oaths of secrecy without being given enough information to make a rational informed choice. I know this because I was one of them. Believe it or not.

The Authorities all new the towers were a target and they rehearsed the scenario years before. The F-16s rehearsed protecting the buildings, they had the intelligence and the preparation and they stood guard. the warnings were never relayed, the guards were called away on that morning. It's as if it was allowed to happen. Planned out. When I saw on tv the plane hit the building I thought: How could they let this happen? Why did they let it happen? They are not getting away with slamming people in planes into people in buildings. This kind of thing just doesn't happen in this country. We are smart people. We see things like this coming. My concern is not in the way the buildings fell but where they fell. They fell in our faces with our eyes wide open. Who ordered the scene cleared and the scraps picked up so fast? Who picked it up -Military? Private contractors? Who usually cleans up this kind of mess? Was it different this time? why? It's funny how people reacted. For e.g. the notion a lot of people took for the war that freedom isn't free. But that really wasn't it. They didn't get it. The war just added injury to Insult!

"When I learned the truth about 9/11, I became extremely angry that our own Federal Government may have developed and executed an extremely evil plan to blame another country for a major act of terror which VERY SECRETLY our own Government seems to have committed. It appears It was designed as a catalyst to pass the ""Patriot Act"" which took away many of our citizens rights and freedoms. If true, in many ways our Federal Government is acting just as evil, or possibly even more evil, than the Nazis."

After earning a BS in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University in 1978, and an MBA from Columbia University in 1983, I've have had a 40+ year career operating my family's small telecom utility business in Western Montana.
I now believe the official explanation for the tragic events on 9/11/01 was clearly implausible, certainly incomplete and most likely a criminal deceptive fabrication. All three towers collapsed in close to free fall precisely into their footprints. It was the collapse of Building 7, which dropped with precise symmetry 7 hours after the twin towers fell, officially claimed to be caused solely by fire in the lower floors, that shattered any credence I had previously given to the official story. Specifically, when I also learned not a single similar steel frame skyscraper had ever collapsed anywhere from a similar fire alone, this juxtaposition of implausible claims convinced me the entire narrative was most likely a preposterous and criminal fabrication. Building 7 fell exactly as if it was carefully prepared in advance with explosives for a controlled demolition. Controlled demolition is the only plausible cause for Building 7 to collapse as it did. Explosives had to have been placed prior to the attack, further indicating the official narrative was preposterous. These, and the many other anomalies in the official story, demand a new, independent and honest investigation

WTC7 was my wake-up call. Once I reviewed footage of all three (3) of the collapses again this year (for the first time since 9/11), I was instantly struck by how quickly and completely they collapsed. I have spent the last several months in serious self-education, not just regarding the clearly engineered collapses that occurred on 9/11/01, but also regarding the unhealthy geopolitical paradigm in which this kind of government malfeasance can exist. I AM SADDENED BEYOND DESCRIPTION by what has occurred in this nation and across the globe in the wake of 9/11.

Seen one false flag; seen em all.
All statements of the press were obviously hand fed from the start. As an auto mechanic and welder, I know that the temperatures inside the building were no 15 to 20 thousand degrees as reported. Burning fuel inside a cylinder only reaches about 1200 to 1500 degrees. Steel does not fail at such temperatures, otherwise internal combustion engines would be impossible to operate. Having worked at Windows on the World, I know that 20 to 50 thousand workers do not present themselves in the towers at that hour of the morning as reported by the press. These assertions by the press were repeated across all channels of broadcasting and print, and could only have come from a central propaganda feed.

Watching the rapid and symmetrical collpase of the building to its own footprint contradicts the official story. The sound of explosion at ground level shortly prior to collapse suggests controlled demolition.

The collapse of WTC #7 after suffering very little impact from the initial plane crashes is the lowest hanging fruit to disprove the official story of what happened. Start with this smoking gun, figure out what really happened to this building and the rest will unravel in short order.

It makes no sense that steel structures would collapse symmetrically into their own footprint at free fall speeds due to an airplane hit. In the case of Building 7, there is no apparent cause for collapse. Controlled demolition using thermite appears to be a much more likely explanation for the collapse of the WTC buildings.

Ever since we witnessed this terrible tragedy questions have been asked that, until now, had gone unanswered; questions such as 'how is it possible that a terrorist organization could have carried out such an attack against the most powerful and highly sophisticated country in the world without the help of an equally powerful and sophisticated organization?' and 'how is it possible that the Twin Towers and surrounding buildings collapsed the way they did out of a two plane strike?' Having witness many building collapses due to fire, earthquakes, bombings and controlled demolitions throughout our professional carriers we know these were staged controlled demolitions and now it has been proved. - - We have been slow to react mainly out of shock and disbelieve that we may be the victims of an internal attack from a home grown terrorist organization that believe themselves to the be the owners of the world. This has got to stop! It is up to us to stop it! If it can be done it is through our democratic process. We owe it to the future generations.

I concur with the Chief Editor of Fire Protection Engineering, who cited the 9/11 Report as a half-baked farce. The report is worse than a farce; it is criminal in its negligence to investigate the truth. Steel buildings do NOT fail in the manners we witnessed, except for those demolished by controlled demolition.Until this matter is properly investigated, the truth revealed, and the perpetrators punished, America will NOT be a free country.

If one knows anything about structural engineering and has seen a number of controlled demolition videos, including charge placement, it is just plain obvious that WTC 7 is a controlled demolition. If a small lobby fire can bring down a steel frame structure so easily, no buildings are safe. But history tells us otherwise. That steel frame structured do not collapse because of fire. So the WTC collapses are either 1) controlled demolition or 2) 3 miracles (never to be repeated).

It is inconceivable that the World Trade Center buildings collapsed as they did because of fires as the public has been led to believe. This is not just an opinion, but a very well educated guess. Although I studied electrical engineering, Georgia Tech--as most engineering universities--required that I take courses in physics, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics.

The only steel framed skyscrapers to have ever collapsed as a result of a fire were WTC 1, 2, and 7. These buildings were built to withstand the impact of a fully loaded Boeing 707, an aircraft about the same size and weight as the aircraft that hit them on 9/11. Temperatures produced by the fires simply did not reach those required to have a significant impact on the building's structural integrity. Firemen 2 floors beneath the impact area in one building radioed out that the fire was controllable. Obviously he was not confronting a temperature of 2000 degrees only two stories above him. Pictures showed survivors of the impact standing in the hole made by the aircraft. These people wouldn't have been there under the kind of conditions assumed by the official story. Fireman recalled hearing a series of secondary explosions exactly like those that would have been used to cause a controlled demolition and that the collapses looked exactly like that's what happened. WTC 7 was hit by nothing and yet collapsed in the same way as the towers. Molten metal containing sulfur, indicating thermate, remained underneath all three buildings for weeks after 9/11. The structural steel debris was carted away as soon as possible without inspection. Taking pictures of ground zero or even stopping to look at it was made a criminal offense. The impact of the aircraft and the resulting fires could not possibly have caused the twin towers to collapse and saying that the collapse of WTC 7 was due to the impacts is simply absurd.Another thing we were lied to about was the cell phone calls. Cell phone calls at altitude were physically impossible.

For a while now, I've felt there was much more to the 9/11 story than what we've been told since the event. Watching the evidence from the video confirmed my suspicions. I feel that the folks who've put the video together have done a great job of shining a light of truth on the situation. In my opinion, this will usher in and strengthen the wave of conscious attention necessary to reveal the truth about what happened. I think the truth will hurt, but it will be monumentally important to the evolution of humanity.

On 9/11, I watched the towers collapse along with the rest of the world. At the time I could not believe that they collapsed by the mechanism as explained in the media. I was convinced, albeit without proof, that there had to be additional explosive media present to create such damage. As the proof of a governmental conspiracy has surfaced over the years I have become an advocate for 9/11 truth, speaking to anyone who will listen.

I read the 911 Commission Report to confirm what I had heard: that this report did not even mention the collapse of World Trade Center Tower #7. This is true. To me, this report seems very superficial. I question the official version for the reasons of the collapse of the 3 towers because of their symmetrical collapse from non-symmetrical damage and that tower 7 collapsed at all. Tower 7 was not impacted by a plane, had non-symmetrical fires burning, and collapsed some 7 hours later.

I am outraged that NIST has actively ignored first hand witness testimony verifying the existence of liquid iron at WTC. The NIST numerical model of the WTC7 collapse illustrates that their explanation of the cause of collapse does not match what actually happened. Symmetric vertical acceleration is not possible without uniform and simultaneous severing of all support columns.

The brilliant Part III of David Chandler's NIST Finally Admits Free Fall is all one needs to understand that explosives caused the WTC collapses. The evidence for controlled demolition is overwhelming, of course, but it is the weak official explanations and non-sensical debunker counter-arguments that truly seal the deal for me. The NIST admission video is therefore qualitatively superior to all other videos that voice only the 9/11 truth movement side. In admitting free-fall NIST admits that their fire-based collapse hypothesis is wrong and that their report is a scientific fraud. Previous demonstrated shortcomings of their investigation arguably amounted to simple negligence. Not investigating reports of thermite, molten metal, and collapse preknowledge stand out here. But in admitting free-fall NIST has conjured up a contradiction within their conclusions that cannot be argued away. All that remains now is to get a critical mass of people to view the free-fall videos, as well as the others. Our strongest influence is among our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Make it a practice to educate at least one new person per week from these groups. Do this in parallel with working your politicians and news media and we will eventually get a real investigation.

It is impossible for steel frame structures to fall due to fire if the fuel for the fire does not elevate temperatures in the building to high enough temperatures to melt steel. Buildings do not fall in discrete piles in unplanned catastrophic failures.

The 911 buildings did not collapse, they disintegrated. A significant amount of energy needs to be applied to make a building disintegrate, much more than that available from either fire or gravity.

I've been an engineer in the automotive industry for over 18 yrs. I went to school at Lawrence Technological University and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering Technology in 1995.
Never in history has a metal building structure ever collapsed due to a fire. WTC 7 never even got hit by an airplane and it also fell on it's own footprint. Thermite was found everywhere at the site. All cement was pulverized indicating high explosives where used. Explosive blasts could be seen in slow motion as before the floor collapse. Steel could be seen melting before the collapse and was still molten for 2 wks after the collapse. Steel melts at approx. 2800 deg F. and jet fuel burns at 1800 deg. F. The jet fuel did not melt the steel period! Btw, kerosene heaters burn at 1800 deg F. so why doesn't the metal housing melt? A terrorist passport was found at the WT 1&2 scene in good condition while the smallest part found was a keypad from a telephone. Give me a break!
