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.

Critical thinker and mechanical engineer from an accredited university, but my high school physics class was sufficient to help me understand that asymmetrical damage from office fires does not cause perfectly symmetrical total collapse of a building not even hit by an airplane. My career has been largely in medical device, and I have made it (so far) into the top 200 of a 7 billion dollar corporation with over 20,000 employees. So my experience is less relevant than, say, an architect, but I haven't forgotten the fundamentals of physics, statics and dynamics, materials, pattern recognition, etc. There is so much plain sight evidence, I cannot understand how the majority of Americans believe what they are told to believe. They made so many mistakes in orchestrating this tragedy.
Asymmetrical damage does not cause perfectly symmetrical collapse and the vaporization of 3 buildings. Who benefited? Who was in charge of security? Why was opium production restored in Afghanistan soon after? Wake up America!!

Fayetteville, NC
Occupation: Investigator/Interrogator
I served twenty-two years in the U.S. Army. My occupational fields were Military Intelligence, Infantry, and Administration. The majority of my service was abroad. My Intelligence occupations included: Strategic Debriefer, Deputy Intelligence Liaison Officer, German Linguist, and Senior Interrogation Instructor. I was an Infantry Paratrooper, during the 1960's, and I served almost two and one-half years of combat experience as a team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant, and acting platoon leader in Vietnam. My combat experience included training and extensive experience with explosives. My administrative experience was as a member of a NATO Special Weapons Unit, in Europe, and I was part of our Nuclear Weapons Release Program. My highest government security clearance was TOP SECRET. Although never a Police Officer, I conducted preliminary investigations for a CALEA accredited Police Department, for one and one-half years. I served as a Correctional Officer for four and one-half years before I was forced into medical retirement. I am a Police Science Honor Graduate of Johnston Technical Institute, 1972. I have no Degree, but I do have an educational background, from various colleges and universities, which includes Criminal Justice, Computer Programming, German Country Studies, and Commercial Art. Some of my early work experience includes employment as a Private Investigator, Purchaser, Food & Beverage Manager, Innkeeper (General Manager), and an Internal Auditor.
Because of my Intelligence background, I realize that it is important to obtain specific information about specific events, but because I am an analytical thinker, I understand that specific events are often only a part of greater events, thus I do not limit my analysis of 9/11 events to the events of 9/11. Instead: I ask myself: How does this event relate to this other event? Are each of these events part of a greater event? There are parallels to the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 9/11 incident -- the premature destruction of evidence and the premature removal of evidence by our government are common factors. There are parallels to the TWA 800 incident, the Oklahoma City Bombing incident, and the 9/11 incident -- the exclusion of many credible eye-witness reports are common factors. There are parallels to the Warren Commission Report and the 9/11 Commission Report -- the reports are the reports of incompetent investigators, or the reports of agenda-driven officials who intentionally intended to deceive us. I am unable to theorize any other options. Because of my background, my knowledge, the reported evidence, and my analytical reasoning, I don't believe the official report about the collapse of the twin-towers and building #7. Furthermore, I believe that to exclusively focus upon those incidents is to miss the greater picture. Finally, it should be obvious to any informed observer, without any other evidence, that the symmetrical implosion of the twin towers was a controlled implosion.

In January 2004 I stumbled on a web site that showed evidence that the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11. It is clear that the buildings had help to bring them down. The collapses of WTC towers 1 and 2 were obviously far more energetic events than can be explained by some sort of progressive gravitational collapse initiated by a simple weakening of the structure by hydrocarbon fire. Here I am thinking of the tremendous dust clouds (pyroclastic flows) and the nearly free fall speed. Building 7, not hit by a plane, appears to have been a classic controlled demolition, and perfectly symmetrically executed.

No steel framed high-rise had ever collapsed due to fire before 9-11-01, none since. Yet we are asked to believe that THREE buildings collapsed due to fire on 9-11-01. Many buildings both before and after 9-11 have fallen due to planned explosive demolition. The official pancake theory of WTC1 and WTC2 doesn't hold up. All you have to do is watch a video. The pancake theory posits that the floors collapse one on top of the next. That's not what you see. To say that the three buildings collapsed is not really accurate, the buildings disintegrated. Large amounts of material were ejected laterally from WTC1 and WTC2. Reinforced concrete turned to dust in midair, and the buildings fell so fast that it's clear that the building structure presented no resistance at all. In the words of Dan Rather: Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when a building was destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down. Where came the energy to slice steel girders and pulverize concrete? Not from a kerosene fire, that's for sure, yet that's what we're asked, no told, to believe. We need to reopen this investigation.

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 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.
