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 am a citizen who believes it is every citizen's duty to watch over government. The true story of the defining event of our era ''' 9/11 ''' should be known.
The notion that the towers' disintegration was caused by the impact of airplanes is not consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If the energy of collapse went into keeping the collapse going, then there had to be another source of energy ''' the energy that destroyed the buildings' structures and pulverized the concrete floors and all the buildings' contents.

There are numerous unexplained phenomena that lead me to reject the official conspiracy theory advanced by the government. Some of the most compelling are the explosive projections observed from well below the collapse zone and the discovery of molten metal during the collapse and in the debris. Any theory that ignores these important pieces of data will always be viewed as illegitimate by any serious investigator.

Well-rounded engineering career, specializing in electronics, instruments, control and computers. Mechanics/Design/Environmental Studies/Materials Science/Mathematical modeling and law were also studied.
The collapses were framed by the media and official investigations as if there was little doubt in their conclusions on collapse. Taking a fresh look at the collapses 3 years ago woke up my rational thinking and education to the fact that the evidence and scientific numbers didn't add up in the disciplines of mechanics and materials. They made it easy for people to imagine that the initial events alone could actually cause the WTC 1, 2 and 7 to collapse as they did.

My education level is high school. Upon graduation from HS my teachers encouraged me to pursue art and journalism but I joined a rock band instead. No interest in college. Armed with a 135 IQ and a passion for music, I made my own way to success. Taught guitar privately and at local community colleges during my 30 year teaching career. I retired in 2007.
For 15 years I believed and even argued the official narrative, but am embarrassed to admit that all the while I had never really studied any opposing views or information. Looking back, I think because of the sheer horror of the event that I was in denial. My initial research into the WTC Building 7 collapse is what led me to research further. It became increasingly apparent that jets and fires were not what brought the three buildings down -- these were classic cases of controlled demolition. The American people need first to learn the truth about how those buildings really came down and then uncover who all were responsible, but I fear our main obstacle is that the foxes are guarding the hen houses.

Before earning a Masters of Divinity degree in 2007, I worked as a manufacturing engineer for two years and as a design engineer for four years. My interests include energy generation, theology, philosophy, science, and weapons.
Yahweh once said through King Solomon, The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him (Prov 18:17, NASB). The unwillingness of the federal government to allow third-party examination of the 9/11 events and evidence raises many red flags in my mind. I find the inside job arguments, especially those pertaining to building 7, to be cogent.

Although almost anyone can see holes in the official story, my training and experience as a business analyst has helped me identify areas that need further investigation. My top 3 questions I consider a new investigation will help answer are: 1. What was the origin and cause of the molten metal at the WTC buildings' rubble pile? 2. Why didn't the Pentagon surveillance video have any frames to help identify and confirm the aircraft crashing into it? 3. Why the collapse of the WTC7 building was not included in the 9/11 Commission Report?

I received my BS in Architectural Engineering from Kansas State University in 1978. I worked initially for SSOE in Flint, MI before relocating to Burkett & Wong Engineers in San Diego in 1984. I have been a Principal with this firm for ten years and I now head the structural dept. I have worked with almost all structural materials and building types over the years, excluding high rise construction.
The 9/11 damage at the Pentagon initially piqued my skepticism. Reading accounts of what happened there led me to read accounts of what occurred in NYC at the twin towers and then building 7. My opinion is that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. By whom? I don't know. Why? I don't know, but following the money probably will provide the best explanation.

Raised alternately in the reddest of red and greenest of green states, Idaho and Vermont. Exposed to a very wide range of views and opinions as I continued my education at Vassar. Worked one summer at Vera Institute of Justice, in the shadow of the towers. Moved to SF Bay for 12 years and became avid supporter of KPFA. Recently relocated to Seattle after traveling abroad and learning the perspectives of many international travelers.
Building 7 was the key for me. When I learned that it was announced to have collapsed on BBC while still standing and smoldering over the shoulder of the reporter 20 minutes before falling like a classic controlled demolition, all doubt was shed. I borrowed the AE911truth DVD from the Burien library to better understand the science concerning the collapse of the main towers.

We MUST conduct a necessary unbiased investigation of this travesty. The professional architects and engineers listed in this document are the experts needed to resolve the unanswered questions held by the American people since that infamous event in New York City on September 1, 2001. The ramifications of this investigation could very well undermine the construct of our current aggressive involvements worldwide.

Having spent the majority of my life working with the mechanics and physics of motion, I believe the near free-fall collapse of parts of WTC towers 1 and 2 could only be accomplished by somehow turning the majority of both structures to fine dust and truck trailer sized pieces of steel through the application of energy that was in excess of what would have potentially been available due only to height and gravity. In addition, the collapse of building 7 appears to be a classic example of controlled demolition.

After seeing several news clips of the Twin Towers crashing, I believe that they could not have colapsed so neatly as they did with out being professionally demolished. There seems to be evidence that some governmental officials may have known in advance of the attacks. I do not believe that those who investigated the attacks were truthful in what they reported as thier findings. It should be re-investigated by profassionals not governmental officials who will not tell the truth.

If an office fire is all that is required to cause a building to collapse in a demolition style into its own footprint as in the case of WTC7, then why would anyone want to use a demolition company to bring down a building, especially since they are expensive and require weeks of precision prep work and placement of charges? Also, if the official story of WTC7 is true, then why didn't the office building in Austin fall the same way as WTC7 after it was hit by an airplane on February 18, 2010? How many other buildings have collapsed demolition style by office fires?

Could 2 planes cause 3 steel framed skyscrapers to collapse at nearly free fall speed, one of them into its own footprint? I think not.

Ever since the day of 9/11, I was convinced that no fire of any kind caused a building to collapse in near FREEFALL. The evidence of controlled demolition is right before your eyes.

I am not an architect nor engineer. I have nine years of university and college education in business, computer sciences and social services/health care. I worked for the Airlines for ten years; three years in the Control Center in Atlanta. One of my jobs was to aid the FAA in preparation for possible emergencies from in range calls that might involve jet fuel needing to be contained. We might have dispatched two to three fire trucks and foamed the runway... but I never witnessed even a small aircraft being CONSUMED by its own jet fuel, much less overcome the foam or the emergency vehicles by the jet fuel fire.
On day one, the first comment I made to family was when building number seven came down, looking exactly like a demolition... how did that incredibly powerful jet fuel get into building number seven, making that fire hot enough to create that PERFECT demolition? How does a fire, hot enough to disintegrate planes and turn buildings into molten metal, not burn passports? How does a fire in the upper floors of a building cause explosions in the basement (testimony of fire rescue professionals on tape) and melt the support beams of the lower floors.

I am a 54 year old female living in Oklahoma. I have researched the events surround 9/11 and am frustrated that there hasn't been a full, independent investigation.
I too have doubts about the official story of the collapse of the buildings. Following the 9/11 Truth organizations has made me move convinced that we need to know the truth about September 11, 2001. There are too many unanswered questions, and too many professional people with excellent credentials that question the ability of the buildings to collapse due to heat from the jet fuel. My, simple, logical mind tells me the buildings were demolished with explosives.

I am 'tude vox Ro, a voice with attitude from Metro Detroit. Rather than recoil in fear and humiliation for lack of paid employment, I use every resource available to find out why and spread the word. I've realized that the fraud of 9/11 is an arrogant display of intentional manipulation of social opinion, allowing for brutal demonstrations of violence and control in a Matrix of deception. Only an awakened, unified mass can reverse the power structure back to the people.
There was domestic involvement in 9/11. I knew this to be true the moment I heard the news.

I have enough intelligence and knowledge to question along with these architects and contractors, what really caused the explosion of the World Trade Towers on 9/11.
I question the released facts of the occurrences on 9/11 regarding the falling of the twin towers, based on theories that I have heard from reliable sources and would like to see a panel discussion of mathematical and architectural facts that would debunk these facts therefore exposing other more realistic theories of what really happened to cause these buildings to collapse.

Worked in construction and engineering. Graduated from college in Philosophy. I have watched the collapse many times and can see the obvious. All the other stuff like the building turning to dust as it fell, a phoney engine by the Pentagon, the melting pools of metal months later, the traces of thermite, ad infinitum. It's time, for God-sake, for a new investigation.
Anyone who does not grasp that the free fall into its own footprint was a demolition does not understand basic physics. It was demolished.
