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 a Bachelors of Philosophy and three years of post graduate theology studies. Settled in Gaylord, MI where my wife taught at St. Marys Elementary School for 34 years. Built a career in electronics manufacturing as a electronics repair technician. We relocated to North Port, FL when my manufacturing plant closed its doors and moved our jobs overseas. Took the opportunity to retrain obtaining an Associate of Science in Network Administration/Security. We just recently settled back in Michigan up in Sault Ste. Marie where I am presently acting manager for Habitat for Humanity.
My strong background in both logic and truth [Philosophy and Theology] led me to be skeptical of the published statements and media reporting of the events of 9/11. While my relationship with science is not as rigorous, I do a lot of deep scientific leisure reading and enjoy exploring all aspects of reality as befits a liberal arts education and mind. I really appreciate how you have put rigorous scientific teeth onto all my suspicions. Keep the faith! As Arthur Weasley says in the Harry Potter series: truth will have out.

My education includes a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado (1953), M.S. in Irrigation Engineering from Colorado State University (1955), and Ph.D. in Agricultural and Irrigation Engineering from Utah State University (1967). I am still professionally active and my career has been split between academia (teaching, research, and extension) and private consulting and focused on irrigation engineering activities related to water resource development and management.
Without any serious study I had simply accepted that the events of 9/11 were as commonly perceived, although I was not happy with the way the disaster was being used to promote what I felt were illegal and self defeating imperialistic policies in the guise of the War on Terrorism. It was not until early 2006 that I stumbled upon sufficient information to become suspicious of the official and generally accepted 9/11 storyline. This led me to do my own investigation during which I discovered the demise of WTC 7, which I was heretofore unaware of. Obviously it was the result of controlled demolition and scheduled to take place during the confusion surrounding the day's events. I now feel morally obligated to deal with and expose the politically unthinkable issues surrounding the 9/11 phenomena by participating in such undertakings as signing this petition.

Westerham, United Kingdom
Occupation: Retired Building Control Officer
I have a Diploma in Building Control/Building Surveying and I am a retired Member of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers. I was employed within local authority building control and had responsibility for ensuring that building work within an area of central London complied with UK building regulations. I have experience with nearly all types of property and their uses and this includes iconic high rise office buildings. My duties included checking plans submitted for building regulation approval and for inspecting the progress and quality of work on site. I have expertise in fire safety and had responsibility for the inspection and fire certification of buildings, the assessment of innovative structural fire engineered designs and the evaluation of prescriptive and non-prescriptive solutions for means of escape in case of fire.
It is beyond credibility for the twin towers WTC1 and WTC2 and for building WTC7 to have all collapsed in such an unpredictable and totally unprecedented manner. All three had failure characteristics which defy logical explanation unless controlled demolition is considered. The observed fire and impact loads have all been shown by independent professional investigation to be well within the design parameters of each building and that total collapse should not have occurred in any one of them never mind all three. It is time for politicians and the media to carry out their public duty and call for a new and impartial public investigation where all the evidence both for and against the official position can be seen and heard.

By any objective analysis of the inconsistencies and factual evidence available to any member of the public; there is obviously a great divide between what truly happened and what has been provided as the fed to an accepting American Public via a cooperative media industry. In total, this represents a bloodless coup in America and until full disclosure is forced, the control of this nation by an unseen group of people and organizations will continue and will grow in its removal of civil rights and free speech. The window is closing each and every day, and the folks orchestrating this scenario are the most powerful and evil humans to ever walk this planet. It would be hard to overstate the ramifications of this scenario.

Based upon the analysis of the telecast video reports, interviews of on site personal and witness testimony, including that of the building lease holder and also those other reports provided by independent engineering observations, I am of the firm understanding that the collapse of the world trade building 1, 2, and 7 were not caused by a plane impact, nor was this collapse caused by a fire from the fuel from the alleged plane impacts.

My experience lies in architecture for the people - affordable housing, schools and public buildings such as community parks and libraries. In the bigger picture, architecture for the people shall be designed and built free of the use of fossil fuels, so that we can get off of our foreign oil dependence and cease senseless wars such as this.
It appears that there is more to the story than simply that planes made the Twin Towers fall. I would like to know why they were not better protected by national security and why were they brought down.

I have seen, reviewed and discussed with many well educated individuals the many circumstances and events of 9/11/2001 reported bombing of the world trade center. Somethings just do not add up. There is to much evidence that supports a planned demolition of at least Building 7 and a coverup of the events of that day. Most people prefer to believe that their social leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a Citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is fraught with corruption, the Citizen has to choose how he or she will live. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To choice to do nothing is to acquiesce to apathy, thus destroying one's self-image as a supporter of basic humane principles by allowing iniquitous results to continue. Most people do not have the courage to make that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker and dissenter, but to give moral cowards an excuse not to think or take appropriate actions to improve the human experience.

I have been involved in community activism for much of my life - more on the local level until September 11th 2001 when my attention sharply turned to national issues. I knew our government was involved from the moment the second plane hit and have been working to educate myself and others on what really occurred that day. I have great respect for all those who have worked so hard to get the truth out and for accountability for those responsible.
Since the moment the second plane hit the World Trade Center which I saw in real time and I have been educating myself and others about the lies and cover-up. There is no way skyscrapers could collapse the way we saw in just a few seconds without assist and what is fascinating is that people still have no idea that building 7 even collapsed - a building that was not hit by a plane, had limited fires and collapsed in its own footprint in a few seconds. Come on!!!! Seeing Larry Silverstein, the holder of the lease for the World Trade Center buildings, say on TV that they decided to pull building 7 that day and knowing that it takes 2-3 weeks minimum to prepare a 47-story building for demolition didn't make any sense and was a real red flag. Also, the BBC announcing the collapse a half hour before building 7 fell was interesting to say the least. Every word out of the Bush Crime Family has been a lie why would anyone in their right mind think they were telling the truth about this one event that they needed (a catastrophic event) to get their illegal wars started.

I find it very hard to believe that the twin towers could have collapsed in a perfectly symmetrical manner, just from the impact and resulting fires from jet aircraft hitting them. Also, I do not understand how WTC Building #7 collapsed, as it had not sustained a direct hit by anything.

I believe that the 9/11 WTC building collapses were a controlled demolition and that it is being covered up by our government and media. This is an outrage and I demand to know the truth.

I loved the twin towers since I can remember. Could remember 9 11th when I did not go to work but to the doc because of sickness. After coming home I switched on the tv like always on CNN and then the TV runs the whole week switching through all the programs to get information. I could not believe the official theory and I think that it is very important to bring the whole truth out ! BLUEPRINT FOR TRUTH = Great !!!

Immediately after the events of 9/11 I could see that the story that the public was given just did not add up to what I witnessed. I mean it was strange that the nation stood idle while the planes were hijacked for hours. Then as I learned more of the details of the event I grew more suspicious. How could the WTC-1 and 2 towers fall so quickly? I had heard Mayor Giuliani on the news on 9/11 stating that they would bring down the Solomon Building (WTC-7), I assumed that it would happen weeks or months later. I was shocked when I learned later that the building fell that day. I was aware that it required weeks, or months, to carry out such an operation.

After viewing the collapse of the twin towers and building #7 with a critical eye, it is so very obvious these buildings were demolished with controlled explosives. It is physically impossible for these buildings to collapses as they did because of fire or collision with an airplane.

I think it is so transparent, the lies covering up what really happened that day. Clearly nothing other than an organized explosion could bring down such buildings. It is time the world see's this and we all get on board and do what we can to get the truth out there. Even if the general public are afraid. We shall never give up on this.

I don't believe that the towers fell due to fire. I therefore would like to know what really caused them to fall, since the official story doesn't agree with architectural expertise.
