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.

While I do not posses a degree, I do have the equivalence of a BSEE degree specializing in RF (Radio Frequency) with satellite communications. My current title is Engineer II. I have worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory from 2002 to 2009 and have a 27 year career in RF propagation. I worked as an engineer for the satellite division of GE in Princeton NJ on 9/11 and lived in Jersey City NJ. My girlfriend was in the South Tower when the first plane hit.
While not an Architectual Engineer I do understand structural loads and mechanical forces. I do not believe that WTC #7 was brought down by fire. It appears to be instantaneous complete structural failure.

After viewing the documentation about the evidence surrounding World Trade Center 7, and comparing it to structural characteristics of building materials under fire conditions, the explanations given by NIST don't quite match up. While some structural failure of the building after prolonged exposure to fire conditions fueled by office materials is possible, large structural steel beams would yield slowly over time and the building collapsing all at once is all but impossible, unless it was engineered to do so.

It appeared obvious as the event unfolded on the first day that the buildings could never have fallen as they did if a controlled demolition was not the cause. In addition I was immediately concerned that the incident would be used by our government to justify killing someone or attacking a foreign country.

I first heard the idea of controlled demolition shortly after the event, but I dismissed it because it wasn't on the TV. About 4 years ago I delved into the subject and read Prof. Steven Jones paper and that is what convinced me. The fact that this conspiracy theory will not go away, tells me it must be investigated, only this time by the people, as the government never investigates itself.

In October 2001, I approached the United States Consulate General's Office in Z'rich, Switzerland. I had testimonial and physical evidence placing Mr. Atta and five other persons in Zurich in July of 2000. Without being able to say more than a couple of sentences, I was told There is no evidence that anyone involved in the events of September the Eleventh has ever stepped foot in Switzerland. There will be no further investigation. I have doubted the official story since this time. The work of AE911truth.org and others is uncovering considerable evidence and casting considerable doubts on the official stories. I would like to see another investigation on the collapses of all three WTC buildings that fell on September 11, 2001.

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 have been in the building trades (electrician) my entire working lifetime, as a maintenance and an industrial electrician.
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. Every person that has participated in this cover up should be charged with a serious crime. This heinous act cannot go unpunished.

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 am a well educated truth-seeker. I think the truth is vital to know no matter how unsettling it may be.
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.
