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 have been a licensed Architect for 25 years and have been in the Engineering/Architectural field for 42 years. I have had intense structural and civil engineering experience while also working for governmental agencies on numerous CIP projects as well as schools, parks and recreation centers, libraries, fire stations, coastal projects, senior centers, tenant improvements, single and multi-family dwellings, mixed use, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, various retail and, plans for a hotel. My relationship the clients, engineers, contractors, subs, governmental agencies, and their trust have led them to praise me and say 'they only wish they had met me sooner.' Being highly visual, nothing slips by me ... nothing.
From the moment you witnessed it, you knew that that is not the way a building falls from that type of damage and instead has all the markings of a planned, controlled demolition project.

Building 7 was controlled demolition. Its behavior was consistent with controlled demolition in that it was an imploding free-fall, and there weren't any external stimulus at all that could have brought it down. It takes the best controlled demolition team 2 weeks to wire a building for demolition. So, there was knowledge of the attack before it occurred.

I am Indonesian structural engineer holding P.Eng Certificate from the Indonesian society of Expert Structural Engineers (Professional Madya - Struktur). I have more than 10 years experiences in design and engineering and also supervising for structural projects. The Projects are design and engineering for high-rise buildings (40 storeys, 34 storeys, 28 storeys, 20 storeys) medium-rise, low-rise buildings, industrial buildings, public facilities, housing, mall, hospital, apartments, condominium, office buildings, wharf and port facilities including some post-tensioned design and value engineering projects. These projects are located in Indonesia and overseas such as, Philipines, Australia and Dubai-United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. My experiences also including design checking and reviewing for damaged structure, value engineering, as a post earthquake structural assessor and some experiences in inspections including anti terror barrier wall execution work and visual investigation for Very Important Buildings such as embassies in Indonesia including Australian, American, New Zealand, Dutch and Japan Embassy.
After I have see all the evidence provided either by this organization or other source I don't believe at all the main causes of the twin tower is because of fire. About building 7? it is just a joke to say it is collapse because of debris from the twin tower

I am retired and now have the time to review the data presented in support of an alternate conclusion. It is without a doubt that the data presented in support of a controlled demolition warrants a complete and transparent hearing. WTC 7 lacks any reasonable explanation or evidence to support a collapse at the rate of a free falling object. It is essential that the scientific community be allowed to analyze the data from the three buildings and prove conclusively that explosives were used.

Like many other professionals I'm concerned about the visual evidence of controlled demolition of the three WTC buildings seen on many videos. This concern is reinforced by Niels Harrit et al's recent scientific analysis of the dust from the site finding nano-thermite - an advanced military explosive. It is furthermore reinforced by Hamilton's ignorance of the fact that the collapse of building seven is not mentioned at all in the report from the 9/11 Commission as expressed in a Canadian TV interview. He apparently had not read his own report. What I find especially alarming is the claim put forward by former Vice president Dick Cheney that an even greater similar catastrophe will happen again soon and then with nuclear explosives. This might become a terrible reality if a real investigation is not performed soon and the truth brought to the surface.

The metallurgical anomaly of melting temperature of steel versus jet fuel combustion temperature made me skeptical but I dismissed it due to the NIST report. Another report surfaced in 2001 that stated fireproofing material was blown away by the plane impacts and jet fuel weakened the structure. At that time I assumed it was correct. I never knew WTC7 fell until I watched videos years later. After time passed and I saw numerous slow motion videos showing what looks like a controlled demolition, I am signing this petition.

Modern steel-framed skyscrapers have never totally collapsed due to fire alone, much less at near free-fall speed in a straight-down fashion. The presence of numerous audible and visible small explosions lends credence to the theory that WTC 1,2, and 7 were all brought down by controlled demolition.

I'm presently a Senior Principal Design Engineer/Manager with over 24 years of broad industry experience in Product and Design Engineering. My initial year at engineering school exposed me to mechanical as well as civil engineering, although my concentration has been on electronic engineering. I've received over 10 US patents which relate to IC design.
It's my understanding that when a building has been destroyed by fire in the course of a crime, then forensic analysis must legally test for the use of accelerants. I believe NIST did not comply with this requirement and the only rigorous xray analysis of the steel ejected from this crime scene found strong evidence which supported the possibility that thermate was present. NIST's final conspiracy theory that thermal expansion was responsible for the collapse of WTC 7 - a new phenomenon. I also found out today that one of the eyewitnesses to explosive forces emanating from the basement of the Twin Towers, Kenny Johannemann, committed suicide - such testimony I feel was never fully considered by the 9/11 Commission and this evidence is rapidly disappearing, or worse, being swept under the carpet. I would like to see an independent inquiry into the unanswered questions regarding what really happened on 9/11 and full accountability of those who were complicit in the events of that day. I consider diversion of our nation's military to a bogus war in Iraq at the height of our nation's response to this attack with extreme suspicion.

I remember seeing the first video that debunked the official story. The scope of the assault terrified me and I would notice that the people I talked to instantly dismissed me as a conspiracy theorist. In one of the many documentaries I have seen, the scientist interviewed said, the problem is that we have been erroneously labelled the conspiracy theorists, but the real culprits are the conspirators who executed and covered up this assault. I truly hope that as Shakespeare said, all things come to light. Hopefully, we won't have to wait for deathbed confessions.

I recall seeing WTC7 fall on TV (just once) either on 9//11 or the day. I was stunned and in disbelief at the perfect fall. That image always stuck in my head that something was amiss. And I knew (because it was reported) that this building was not hit by an airplane. I did not hear or know that it was on fire as now reported. I just knew that many hours after the collapse of WTC 1 & 2 that this seems so implausible. Especially the speed at which it fell. Then I found more folks who held the same questions. Obviously I've heard and read about the non-official story now. It's tragic that honesty is not forthcoming from our officials. Part of that honesty would be to answer seriously the questions posed by AE911Truth and others. I even found at a used book store, 'Triggered' by David Icke - fascinating even if some of his thoughts are too far out there; his sequence of events and players are recorded in great detail and can't be refuted as they are mostly documented by the (MSM) news of the day.

The collapse of the three towers can in no experts opinion be ruled as a top down collapse. The lack of any sideways collapse of a melting steel framed building clearly indicates that the collapse was orchestrated and done with intent to collapse downward. - - Steel buildings will offer immense resistance to downward collapse, simply due to its compilation and construction. - - The collapse of building 7 also is an impossibility with a meagre office fire. - - NIST failed miserably and were most definitely coerced to compile the report that they did. - -

I saw what I saw, and agree with so many others that the destruction of the Towers and WTC 7 fails to fit the narrative of the public officials and media. This was a cover-up and no one can truly tell the public and the world why this was done, and why so many were complicit in doing this.

I apprenticed and became a carpenter in 1981. As well I apprenticed and became a locksmith in 2001. I worked all of that time until 2014 (38 years) with Parkland School Division #70 maintaining and renovating schools as well as helping construct portable classrooms. Shortly before retiring I also became a Fire Door Assembly Inspector through the Door and Hardware Institute.
In about 2008 I heard the events of Sept. 11, 2001 did not happen the way that we had been told and I started reading about and researching those events. This is without a doubt a huge deception (just one of many unfortunately) and the world needs to know the truth of what actually happened that day. Any building, steel frame or wood, 1 story or 47, or more, would never collapse (no other steel buildings have) like building 7 did from just randomly burning fires.

For years I have thought, and based on the facts presented by different news networks, that the true story about 9/11 has not been told, the American people and the families of the victims deserve the truth, a great smoke screen was presented to the world, it is time for those responsible to be brought to justice.

Education was based on the regurgitation of pointless things. Not taught to farm, fix or love my neighbor. These things were self taught.
Basic Jenga game should show people that a tower would not collapse with a hit towards the top then fall straight down on itself like the trade towers did. How were fireman lined up in the streets at the ready? Where is the video of the Pentagon getting hit???

The obvious truth about the controlled demolition of the three sky scrapers in New York on September 9, 2001, and the fact that this truth is suppressed across the world, shows that we, the many who realize this, must do our damnedest to break the world free of this Stasi fog, and work for a free, just, and sustainable world for humanity and nature. I have followed A&E for 911 Truth for many years. What brought me initially to 9/11 Truth was Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911. Another movie reappraising the 9/11 coup and the 9/11 aftermath this year released online, could push knowledge of the Wall Street/CIA control.

It was obvious to me that the official explanation of why WTC1,2, & 7 collapsed did not make sense on the videos alone.
