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.

Studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 2011. Trained beyond MTQ2 in the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps. Possess a broad knowledge of military armaments, explosives & demolition technology. A recent graduate who designs Open-Source Hardware, but not currently employed by an engineering firm, partially due to conscientious objections to work available.
To me it is obvious both by physical intuition and training that dropping the top 10-15 floors of a circa-100-floor steel-framed building onto the rest intact below can not possibly cause the entire structure to collapse under its own weight, regardless of how much fire is blazing in the building. If nothing more had happened in Manhattan on the morning of 11/9/2001 than airliners each hitting those floors of WTC buildings 1 and 2, it is possible that sustained fire could have allowed the remaining beams supporting the top section of either building to buckle, and for said section(s) to fall to one side into the street below, but nothing more. Within the present spectrum of human knowledge, such a complete collapse, nearly symmetrical, near free-fall speed, can only be achieved using controlled demolition.

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.

The observed collapses of all three WTC buildings lack sufficient explanation consistent with the laws of physics, historical record and known mechanisms of mechanical failure. The official investigation lacked transparency and scientific rigor in many ways. Furthermore, independent study by professionals in the fields of architecture and engineering indicates that the NIST report made many false assumptions in order to reverse engineer the produced result. For these reasons, and many more, the incident warrants further investigation by independent parties.

Mechanical engineer consulting for the public transportation industry - specifically the rail industry.
To me, the evidence shown by Richard Gage in the DVD titled 9/11: Blueprint for Truth clearly shows that the public was not given the real story behind why those buildings collapsed. You just can't ignore the evidence of molten steel, pulverized concrete, U shaped steel I-beams with no stress fractures, and signs of explosions (squibs) 40 stories below the collapsing rubble. The list of unanswered technical questions surrounding this tragedy is just too long to be ignored.

"On 9/11, I was watching the events at work with another electrical engineer. When the south tower collapsed, I turned to him and said, ""It is not possible for a building to collapse like that from fire. The building looks like a demolition."" His response was, ""It must be possible because it just happened."" Since then, I wish I had added, ""The buildings came down through the path of highest resistance but fell at near free-fall speeds. That is not possible unless the resistance of lower floors was removed. That is the definition of a demolition"". I have no idea who is behind these demolitions or their full motives, but I am convinced that these three steel structures were intentionally demolished on 9/11/2001. Nothing else makes sense."

I am not an architect or an engineer and I have no formal technical training, education or experience but since this petition is open to everyone I am signing. You really don't need credentials to see that the truth is not being told here. All you need are eyes that are open.
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 do not have a technical education, but I understand that to ascertain things one needs to be open about all possibilities and study the evidence without bringing in any preconceived ideas or beliefs. My education is in Business and I have an Master in Business Administration and a Bachelor in Supply Chain Management.
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.

B.S degree, study on my own issues such as 9/11 and others as I will never as a citizen take their word for truth and always question truth to power and 911 is not the only serious issue!
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.
