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 was a student at Pratt Iinst. in Architecture in the 1960s as the WTC was being built. I have photos of the original construction of the towers.
No doubt it was controlled demolition because of the explosions before hand at lower levels and thermite burning diagonally on steel beams. speed of descent and the fact that buildings were worked on for period of time before 911 while bomb sniffing dogs were removed from buildings during that time. The crenelated structure was chopped as shown by photos as sections of wall fell.

I strongly doubt the official story on 9/11. I was at the WTC on Labor Day, 2001, and the event disturbs me greatly to this day. I linked the Loose Change website to my blog back in June of 2006 in order to spread its message to others, have seen Improbable Collapse, and the final cut of Loose Change. I have also seen the film, Zeitgeist, and have linked all of these important films to my widely-read blog. I have read a considerable amount of Dr. Stephen Jones' report, and went to see him back in February. I am preparing my official statement on the matter, to be presented by YouTube video, which will be linked to my blog at PowersandMorrison.com sometime in April, 2008

These years include over three years of being a technical analyst. The years of being in such a technical field, have made me very analytical.
I'm not convinced that the jet fuel from the airliners that hit the World Trade towers caused the structure of those buildings to buckle. I myself, through my formal training at Lewis University in the field of Aviation physics, understand the temperature at which jet fuel burns, as well as flash points and related. The reality is that it just isn't possible. Besides which this doesn't take into account the fact that these buildings fell at the rate of gravity, as if there was no internal supporting structure. Also, one must factor in the pyroclastic flow visible, evidence that the internal structure was subject to thermite detonation charges, visible evidence of apparent detonation squibs. All of this and how obvious, the collapse was in an orderly fashion. A professionally orchestrated demolition.

Even though it may not be easy to see, it becomes quite obvious that the official story we have been told by the mass media and particularly by Fox news about the nature of the collapses is a lie. I suggest that a computer model be made for the WTC Towers, so that engineers can run the simulation and publish their results.

I have been in construction for over 30 years and have been extremely upset over 911 and the lack of government investigations. I have been involved in commercial construction and residential construction. I understand how strong steel and concrete are and it is almost impossible to pulverize concrete to dust. Also cutting steel beams at a 45 degree angle naturally is impossible.
There are many issues with the accounts of that day starting with our president hearing about it and almost looking sheepish and embarrassed like a kid who has lied or is hiding something. The facts have never been explained. How did building 7 collapse like it did no planes hit it? How could steel beams be cut like butter at a 45 degree angle (like controlled demolitions) Why are no good camera angles available of the pentagon? How could 3 non pilots hit a bulls eye of three buildings in other words 3 for 3 with no experience? Especially hitting the Pentagon we did not scramble aircraft and the alleged plane was almost touching the ground before hitting the building.

I'm a civil engineer and project manager for the FAA. I have 25 years experience building National Airspace System critical facilities, including the construction of air traffic control towers.
I have serious doubts about the cause of collapse of WTC 1 and WTC 2, as well as WTC 7. The indications are that they came down in a controlled-collapse manner, and this casts a dark shadow over the official published story. I have worked on projects involving controlled demolitions of decommissioned air traffic control towers. My opinion is that the twin towers and building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition, contrary to the official story.

I hold a degree from the Mark O Hatfield School of Political Science. After 9/11 I watched in horror as all of the historical indicators of tyranny and methods of demagoguery were conjured by the same government officials responsible for allowing the attacks of 9/11 to occur. The Bush administration ignored credible warnings that the attacks were eminent then obstructed meaningful investigations while hiding evidence from the public. I consider any government official not aggressively pursuing a public, unbiased, independent investigation backed by the subpoena powers of Congress to be complicit in these attacks.
After evaluating the evidence I believe there is no chance that one, much less all three, of the WTC towers could collapse due to fire and fall into their footprints without the help of explosive charges placed by knowledgeable persons. Furthermore, I don't believe that a commercial airliner could hit the pentagon and disintegrated leaving only a few fragments, and I know for a fact that cell phone calls could not have been made from a jet in flight as the technology was not available at the time.

I was intrigued by building #7 from the beginning. The towers were also curious, but not being an architect or having an understanding of how the buildings were constructed let me dismiss them to focus specifically on #7 -- I did a little research and was pleased to find out that other people had the same questions. The fact that the majority of the less intelligent people/people prone to believing in fairy tales I speak to tend to block you from finishing your sentence if you bring up demolition, absent of blaming anyone other than the terrorists, lets me know that a serious investigation is in order.

Ive studied building construction, and Ive also studied the effects of thermite/Thermate on steel. I have also studied the free fall collapse theory extensively. The Pancake collapse theory does not stand up to true in depth investigation.
I feel that the near free fall speeds of the towers collapse is very hard to attain with a pancake collapse. For the pancake theory to even be remotely plausible, there would have been much resistance from the floors below the impact areas, which would have slowed down the collapse. The debris that was thrown great distances away from the footprints of the buildings is also a giant question. Also the lack of a proper analysis of the dust, or soot that was created was never done.

Just a concerned mother of a 17 year old that wants to the truth to be known. I am unemployed and I believe the reasons for the last two positions I've lost are in direct relation to my believes about the collapse of the World Trade Centers. After expressing my views, I was deemed a nut and my career went down hill from there. Please don't stop! The entire world needs to know the truth and the real truth about the powers behind this horrific event.
I saw with my own eyes, the collapse of the World Trade Centers at freefall speed. I've listened to Richard Gage and the official stories and reports, including the National Geographic Special. National Geographic's staged tests were performed to convince the American people that the official story is true, but I could see it was not real science, just propaganda. Richard Gage gives us real science and I believe him. I'm concerned that the American people are not independent thinking enough to believe the truth because they've been condition to believe the brain washing machine - their television set. I am very scared for this country.

The evidence of thermite found in the fallen Twin Towers 1,2, and 7 is convincing scientific evidence and is staggering in its ramifications. This evidence should lead to a new investigation into any possible conspiracy in the destruction of the World Trade Center. American citizens deserve the truth from its government.

I have a full and complete Canadian elementary and high school education, which is more than is needed for one to come to the conclusion that the 9/11 commission report is blatantly inadequate in it's findings.
There is quite obvious evidence of controlled demolition in just VIEWING the collapse of WTC1, 2, and 7. If there was no use of explosives in the buildings, than how could all 3 have fallen at free fall speed in the EXACT same fashion? All 3 buildings fell straight into their own footprint, and these buildings where constructed out of fire-proof steel... where are the massive steel core columns that should have been sticking out of the ground? How come no steel buildings have EVER collapsed due to fire before or since 9/11? And why is there no mention of building 7 in the 9/11 commission report? These are just a sample of the questions i have surrounding the day of 9/11 and all of its obscurities.
