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.

Basically a geologist - doing research - naturally dont believe in things like this which look colorful in CNN and BBC.
I looked at the seismograms available in internet soon after 9/11. Clearly there was a peak before the buildings collapsed - i have seen similar peaks during man-made explosions used to check the reliability of seismograms.... Then the video In plane site was great eye opener. To be frank i think George Bush for clarifying many of the doubts in my mind for a long time - how did the world end up like this with superpowers and superpoors - naturally an economy depended on wars naturally need an excuse for wars.... I hope some day they realize how many people they have directly and indirectly killed because of their neocon policies... I don't believe in the above statement as they strongly believe in what they do - otherwise how can incidents like Pearl Harbor, September 11 attacks just happen... May be am deviating from your aim - pure engineering view point on WTC collapses - cant control the emotions - i feel for the innumerous people that are killed - how much rich do they want themselves to be... By the way - you wont believe in me - but i strongly believe in the December 26 Asian tsunami to be also part of neocon agenda. May be a bit too much for u people to believe - i do believe in natural earthquakes - but there are a lot of artificial earthquakes too - there are geologists in US who still don't know what really caused that earthquake - but they play with the media of advocating plate tectonics.... I was at Australia and clearly remember that the first seismic data that we received was much lower - just 6.4 then within days USGS just raised it to 9.1 or something to account for the huge death toll. people don't realize it was not the earthquake that killed - it was the tsunami. I was at Banda Aceh after the tsunami (2 weeks later) as part of Japanese team. We saw no signs on earthquake related damage. Buildings were standing with second floor, but in between were removed by running water.... Am going off point - hope u people can bring some change... The truth is there - it is pretty heart breaking to see people just ignoring facts in favor of colorful main stream media propaganda

In view of the pervasive reluctance of officials to release critical evidence, the numerous scientific and engineering anomalies and research results regarding the event, an unbiased investigation is imperative. Anomalies include: uncharacteristic free-fall collapse of buildings, hit or not hit by planes, complete destruction of buildings specifically designed to take impact of large airliners, never-before seen collapse of steel-frame buildings due to fire, persistent molten iron well beyond the temperature of burning fuel, projection of massive debris far from the towers, upward ejection of debris, complete pulverization of concrete and, it appears, even steel, evidence of thermate in dust plus the quick removal of twisted, severed steel columns from crime site. These are professional technical assessment issues specific to WTC 1,2&7. There are a multitude of other anomalies, and a chain of suspicious behaviors and subsequent hasty legal and foreign policy activities with suspicious basis, all which strip validity from all the ad-hominem attack arguments and scientifically untenable studies which have sought to discredit anyone honestly skeptical. Truth and reconciliation came to south Africa. In the land of the free and home of the brave, justice can and must be carried out. If the government story holds water, those who advocate it would only be vindicated and so no objection is reasonable.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics from San Jose State University. I've been a licensed Professional Engineering in California since 1996. My area of practice is water and environmental management.
Until recently I didn't question the government/media explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers. I believe I may have heard in passing about the collapse of WTC 7, but probably dismissed it as being the result of damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers or something associated with some conspiracy theory. After taking a closer look at some of the evidence, it's clear that the official theory of gravity collapses caused by airplane impacts and fires in the three buildings on 9/11 is inconsistent with the physical laws of the universe and the properties of the materials in the three buildings and the airplanes. It's also clear that the government's investigations were inadequate.

Let us be patient; the truth never suffers from honest examination. Justice makes a nation great, and the greater a nation the more solicitous will it be to see that injustice shall not befall even its most humble citizen. Woe upon any nation when only those who possess money and influence can secure ready justice before its courts! It is the sacred duty of a magistrate to acquit the innocent as well as to punish the guilty. Upon the impartiality, fairness, and integrity of its courts the endurance of a nation depends. Civil government is founded on justice, even as true religion is founded on mercy.

Neither steel nor concrete can be burnt by open kerosene fires at all, especially not in a way that it just dissolves to dust. Given high enough temperatures - the steel columns would have bent down in the area of the fire, leaving the lower sections intact.

It is impossible for the highly asymmetric damage caused by the second plane hitting WTC 2 to result in the completely symmetrical collapse of that building. The incredibly symmetrical implosion of WTC 7 into its own footprint confirms that controlled demolition was involved. This could only be done well in advance of 9/11/2001, and only with the full knowledge of the security firms in control of the WTC site. It could not have been perpetrated by a ragtag group of desert desperadoes.

I worked on the Standard Oil Building design team at Perkins and Will Partnership (1972-74), when it topped out as the tallest building in the world. That was just weeks before Yamaski's Detroit design team's 1st World Trade Center tower topped out and beat us for that record. Our Chicago team was joint ventured with the NYC-based building design firm Edward Durrell Stone. Each tower design team had been following the work of the other for several years. Many of us became friends and associates. I reviewed and studied the 911 FEMA structural analysis report of the New York City and Pentagon incidents when it was published and noted hundreds of discrepancies and apparently deliberate omissions. I worked on several major project designs for over a decade with the Seattle-based structural design firm that designed the World Trade Center towers. I was intimately familiar with the structural characteristics of the WTC towers. They were quite obviously deliberately demolished internally by high-temperature explosives placed by professional demolition experts at hundreds of key structural joints. There is no other way those buildings could collapse within their own footprints as they did.
This was a deliberate act on the part of those who already had all the access to the WTC site that they required; they used the airliner attacks as a diversion. Apparently they were aware of the planned air attacks and used that knowledge to their internal American political strategic advantage. The Neocons?

I have severe doubts about the official story we're being told about the collapses of the 3 World Trade Center buildings that went down on 9/11/01. I've spent years doing my own investigation. It is important to me that the real truth be told.

It is a whole bunch of bull shit. Right when I saw it happen I thought to myself George Bush did it. It just came to me. I was in grade 9 at the time and every time I see it and watch it, it is more clear, that this was controlled. One skyscraper just does not crumble like this.

Recently 911 truth finding has caught my attention. WIll become active in spreading the word in China and in my home country New Zealand. I am teaching here in Beijing students who will go to Western countries so I will make sure that I spread the word to them and all my friends and family about this issue.
Absolutely no doubt about the conclusive scientific evidence and cover up. Until an independent inquiry is undertaken this issue will never go away. I hope this will come sooner rather than later so we can prevent any further repercussions of blaming innocents who had nothing to do with the attacks.

I have doubts over the official story. Too many questions have been raised and not sufficiently and honestly answered.

I am not an engineer or architect. I'm just an average Joe. I work in retail and live a normal life (whatever that means). I never graduated from high school nor went to college. I worked at an occult shop for a year and I met some interesting people that were affiliated with certain occult groups in high places. I am not happy with their intentions. I am a loving conscious being that loves humanity and I want to do everything in my power help these poor people find some light in their hearts.
I remember in April of 2001 I was watching a series on the Discovery channel about controlled demolition and the science behind it. As you can expect once I saw the Towers come down something inside me did not feel right. Because of what I learned on the Discovery channel, and before the official story was hammered into our psychology, I immediately new the planes and the fires that resulted from them were not the reason the Towers came down.

I am an American, educated in California, where I have spent my much life to date. I work in technology and while I enjoy reading technology related material, much of my personal library is of political nature. I have family in New York City and Connecticut and have been back there many times.
I recall reading, prior to 9/11, that the WTC was of inefficient design for modern offices and full of asbestos. The collapse seemed strange at the time but when the EPA claimed that the air was safe, I thought something is very wrong here. After absorbing much information, there appears to be compelling evidence to suggest that everything is not as it seems.

I had a 2 yr course in welding in a vocational welding class in high school. Years later I put it to use when I went to work for Thrall rail car and then Morton metal craft, a total of 13 yrs. I did a lot of cutting through those years involving different processes and gases.
I have watched a lot of interviews and videos and the official report just does not add up. I can clearly see the explosions going off as the towers collapse. Working with red hot metal a lot I have a good idea of its characteristics. There is no way a pile driver effect could cause such a collapse. Heat transfer would have had to be enormous to weaken the structure all the way down and there is nothing to support that that kind of extreme heat existed. Then you have building 7 falling straight down with no resistance.

No bio just a concerned observer ......... Very much an issue / event I have followed since inception among my many concerns is the way websites disappear. There have been many over the years that I have book marked and then come back to some time later to find they have vanished! Really hoping that that is not going to be the case here!!
it is a physical impossibility for three buildings to collapse to the ground completely destroyed due to weakening of the structures by fire alone

No technical architectural or engineering experience, but have researched the events of 9/11 extensively and am convinced by fact, logic and common sense that events didn't completely follow the official line and that this should be re-assessed.
I lived in the United States for 3 years and watched with extreme sympathy the History Channel version of the collapse of the WTC towers. I was shocked, therefore when following the story of Colleen Rowley, that I came across stories that varied from the official Bush Administration's story. Further investigation drew me to A&E for 9/11 Truth and it was the technical and scientific data with regard to the collapses (which had looked suspicious on the day, but was eclipsed by one's shock and horror at the situation), that persuaded me that it is entirely necessary that a new investigation be undertaken.

It was irrefutable to watch the towers come down at the speed of gravity in dust, not by 2 planes full of gasoline but controlled demolition which I have seen in the past to bring down high rises in their own footprint.

I have been active in political issues for two decades.
I attended Cal Poly and heard a speech on this issue as well as read articles on the issue of implosion of the twin towers. As an interested person on the subject, I believe the twin towers were not 'downed' by airplanes, but rather by implosion. I heard the talk by the University of Utah Physics professor on the subject of building implosions and how one MUST conclude that the buildings did implode.
