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 currently build new stores, remodel & expand existing stores, and build fuel facilities for The Kroger Company.
As a civil engineering student at West Point on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, I marveled at the explanation that jet fuel could melt through structural steel, how the buildings could collapse straight down at near free-fall speeds through the path of greatest resistance, and how many witnesses reported hearing explosions. After further research and hearing the commentary of fellow professionals, I could not concur with the official explanation offered by the government & the 9/11 Commission.

I find it staggering that anybody believes the lies published by the official WTC collapse report. We all have a degree of common sense and make daily decisions based on perceptions of gravity, mass and balance. The official report throws all this common sense out of the window and asks that we believe a physically impossible option. You do not have to be university trained to understand that a huge amount of energy was required to destroy the undamaged elements of the WTC buildings. The only energy they claim was gravity + mass of the damaged building - no way. Lets not forget that the strongest part of the build was the base.

Graduated with a degree in Engineering Science, specializing in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. During the first two years of this degree I studied all the engineering disciplines. I also graduated top of my class in a two year full-time education in computer programming. My career consisted of process engineering; wastewater collection and treatment engineering; and software authoring over 34 years. Of relevance, as a consultant, I performed advanced analysis of mechanical lifting devices for client John Deere.
I have studied 9/11 for many years with particular emphasis on the physics and engineering presented in well over 200 scientific documentaries, papers, books, and 9/11 Truth related conference videos or proceedings. More specifically the investigations of evidence surrounding thermite, thermate, and nanothermite. While I have read credible accounts about the people behind the horrific crimes, I try to think and speak about the proofs that all 7 WTC towers were destroyed mostly by controlled demolition.

9/11 was an inside job. Building 7 was an obvious controlled demolition. In one of the videos of WTC 2 you can see a thermite charge ignite at the corner of the building. The building breaks and starts to fall from this corner about two minutes after the charge is ignited. .I have developed a Thermitic paint that is readily ignitable and will cut steel.

I have a degree in Computer Mathematics from Carleton University, Ottawa (1994). I served in the Canadian armed forces in the Governor Generals Foot Guards from 1990 to 1994. For the last 16 years I have worked as a computer consultant and currently run my own company, SageTea Group. I have worked for a variety of organizations and companies including Nortel, Merrill Lynch, Software Kinetics, XWave and the Government of Canada.
I worked at Merrill Lynch during 9/11. I personally witnessed molten metal pouring from the buildings prior to their collapse. I also heard explosions before and during the collapse of towers 1 and 2. I can also state that the fires took weeks to put out and were still burning underground. Approximately 1 week after the disaster, I had wanted to go to an office location near the 9/11 site. A colleague of mine said I could not go their because firefighters were still putting the fires out. I was incredulous that the fires were still burning such a long time (1 week or more) after the towers came down. From what I saw, the initial fires looked like they were going out when the initial collapse started. I gave a 47 minute interview to Truth Action Ottawa with the full details of my experience on 9/11. I knew something was wrong with the official story regarding 9/11 from the moment that 9/11 happened. Nothing that was stated by official US government sources could explain the molten metal that I saw. I had been troubled by that clear evidence for many years until I saw the paper written by Steven Jones and heard about his research. As a witness to 9/11, I can state that the evidence of molten metal presented by Steven Jones was visually observed by me. In fact, I was aware of the existence of molten metal at the 9/11 site long before Steven Jones paper was published. I am certain that this fact alone is sufficient reason to re-investigate 9/11. I have not ever been asked to testify or provide my evidence to anyone investigating 9/11. I would be willing to if ever officially requested.

The aircraft were not controlled from the cockpit when they hit buildings 1 and 2. The aerobatics with aircraft full of people, full of fuel, full of cargo, could not have been done by human control. They precisely bank and swerve into specific floors, middle, with precise bank to allow floor above and below to slice open the fuel tanks in the wings for immediate surface-of-building fire and smoke (maximum psychological/terror affect). This required a quartz altimeter (accurate to two feet elevation). The inexperienced Saudi alleged pilots would have simply flown straight into the buildings, open above surrounding buildings, not requiring any radical maneuvering what-so-ever.

It is clear in the video that the buildings are collapsing at near free fall speed. It is clear that there were no logical explanations to the thermite found. More and more. There is more and more evidence that there was more than just a terrorist attack on 9/11. Where was NORAD?

After watching 3 steel frame structures collapse all in one day, one not even hit by aircraft, I had serious doubt about what we had been told officially. Since I could not find or be shown evidence of other steel buildings collapsing due to fire, WTC7 really stood out for me. This building collapsed at nearly free fall speed, into its own footprint. It really looks like a controlled demolition.

Well educated (degrees in several disciplines) with a strong background in physics, analysis, and an innate talent for observing detail.
Based on my observation of the collapse of the World Trade Center and my knowledge of physics, I find it incredible that any educated person could believe those towers collapsed due to an airplane crash. It conflicts with the basic laws of physics.

My college education is in the field of psychology with 30 hours post-graduate work in educational psychology.
I have always questioned the 'official position' of what happened at 9/11. The answers seemed too simplistic and, quite frankly, unbelievable to me. Common sense has told me that what I saw as massive destruction could not have been caused by an airplane hitting such a strongly fortified skyscraper. I also always wondered why there was no response from any form of security force to intercept this tragedy when supposedly America has the best military defense system in the world.

Recent college graduate who has spend 5 years studying testimony and video footage of the collapses and minutes leading up to them.
The collapses appear to challenge in the extreme the probabilities for a natural melting, failure and subsequent collapse, in that highly structurally sound buildings fell through the path of most resistance in free-fall speed. Testimony and seismography also claim that many other explosions occurred that seem unexplainable just prior to the building failures.

From the first '9/11 truth' docu. film I saw (9/11 Eyewitness, c. 2004) it was obvious to me after 3-5 viewings (and even more so after dozens of viewings) that the collapses of the 3 buildings must have involved explosives. There is no way that a building collapsing 'due to fire' (as alleged by the 9/11 Commission) would be instantaneously pulverized into microscopic dust (and people into bone fragments), occurring at free-fall speed and perfectly symmetrically. When I heard William Rodriguez's testimony in his film 'Last Man Out' of explosions occurring in the basement levels PRIOR to the plane impact, and multiple explosions thereafter (throughout the buildings, as he attempted to rescue trapped people,) this was much to 'coincidental' for me to believe the official account... Thank you AE911Truth for spreading the news... and for those of you out there just beginning to study this subject.... This is not a 'bipartisan' issue. The Truth will out.

After being exposed to the initial events and following stories concerning 09-11-01 I became uneasy about these happenings. This feeling led me to examine alternative sources of information, other than mainstream media. The evidence presented in Blueprint for Truth, coupled with over 500 architects and engineers signing a petition, only serves to fuel my suspicions that 9-11 was an inside job. I am pleased that professional people have joined this cause. That American lives were lost that day, and other lives have been lost in the aftermath, is a sad, sinister matter. I want to thank all of the patriots associated with AE911 truth for bringing this issue to light.
