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.

There are too many reasonable doubts about the official story, especially in the anti-aircraft defense, or the exact cross-cuts in steel construction. Also the vertical collapse is implausible!

I've learned a lot about designing structures: all the elements that are taken into consideration at the time of design, including the 1.67 factor of safety multiplier. In my opinion, there is no conceivable way that the towers could have collapsed, much less in the manner in which they came down.

No security plan is foolproof, otherwise the security industry would not be so profitable. There are individuals of questionable connections, some who actually worked in the Towers, who would have had access (including the guard force itself) to have allowed for explosives to be placed in key areas to facilitate the rate of collapse. It would not have taken a large team to implement if systems were put into place slowly, with the explosive materials placed either where dogs did not operate, or after the dogs were removed just prior to 9/11. I cannot stand down from this position given the clear unanswered questions.

I received the Master of Architecture degree from the University of Washington in 1981. I apprenticed in several Portland architecture offices, including a branch office of Jones and Jones, designing zoo exhibits for the Oregon Zoo (at that time the Washington Park Zoo). In the early 1990's I became a self-employed residential remodel designer. I now live in Newport, on the Oregon coast.
I have never believed the official story and am especially skeptical about Building #7. Until and unless the facts are allowed to surface about what happened on that day, hope is the greatest casualty of those events.

I've watched just about every movie and film clip that has been posted on the internet and I am absolutely convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, orchestrated by the Bush / Cheney White House, the CIA, and the FBI with the aid of Israel. Professor Stephen Jones analysis of the use of thermite to aid in the destruction of WTC-1, WTC-2 and WTC-7 is indespituble. We have a sick government.

I have been an engineer working mostly in casting metal foundries for the last 20+ years. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in both 1986 and 1987 with Petroleum and Mechanical engineering degrees, respectively. I currently serve as the company's Engineering Manager doing Mechanical Engineering in the water delivery field.
I have poured plenty of iron and iron based alloys in my career. Liquidus temperature for construction type steels is around 2735F - 2750F. It is impossible for the steel structure to have been compromised to the point of the type of failure that was experienced. There are many different technical things from material science to metallurgy to computer science issues that are obviously incorrect and or fabricated.

I design custom metal bicycles and art vehicles as a hobby using steel and aluminum welded structures. I've lifted a 1890's home I owned and restored its foundation as part of a major renovation. My profession is designing electronics and software.
My best friend and next door neighbor growing up was Kenneth Rice Jr. killed by the first plane hit while he was at work on the 97th floor I believe. Shortly after the 9/11 event I learned that building #7 fell for no good reason and that no steel structure building of any type had ever failed due to fire or airplane hit which it was designed to withstand. This made me very concerned that the truth of the events was not being told. Then I heard that the buildings had been purchased only three months earlier, huge insurance policies taken out and the buildings were a financial problem before their destruction. Then the use of the situation to justify a war against Iraq that had nothing to do with the attacks topped off the ruse for me.

After reviewing available new information, technical assessments by A&E, repeatedly watching video footage, and going by my gut instincts from the very first plane strike, I believe that a tremendous hoax has been played on the American people, and that the biggest crime of ANY century has been committed. I therefore demand the TRUTH ABOUT 9/11/01! A TRULY independent inquiry equipped with the weight of legal ability to subpoena and indict the suspects MUST be made and be made now. I demand this in honor of my friend Erika who died on the 102nd floor of WTC2, the first responders who gave their lives to save others, and the thousands of family and friends, and people the world over who have been affected by at least two spurious wars unending, and people who will be affected for the rest of their lives.

There is overwhelming evidence of misconduct on the part of the NIST in the investigation as a whole. Except for 4 frames, information from the 80 plus camera's that were confiscated, which showed the flight crashing into the Pentagon, has been withheld from the public. Washington's story is in conflict with the many documented eye witness accounts. The circumstantial evidence of a conspiracy to commit crime and the questions that have never been answered satisfactorily to the general public warrants a new investigation under oath.

The evidence the towers were deliberately detonated is encyclopedic in volume and cannot be dismissed.The implications are many.I would be stunned to see you prove these architects and engineers are incorrect. The buildings could not have fallen at that speed into their own footprints unless they were detonated.There was no logical explanation (other than detonation ) for the 3rd tower to have come down.No skyscraper has ever toppled before or since because it was struck by a jet.Nothing jets could carry other than a nuclear bomb could bring the towers down (but that would not have been an orderly collapse!).Steel cannot melt at the temperatures that could have been reached without other means of deployment.There has been inadequate investigation and reporting done on the subject.No alternative opinion.

I have been tested by Mensa that shows my IQ to be in the 95 Percentile. I like to think that is why I never believed any of the official statements that came out about 9/11.
I never believed from day one that the fall of all the towers were anything but a controlled demolition. It just could not happen that way.

Any one person presented with numerous video, photo, and factual findings that still believes WTC buildings feel as a result plane crashes or fires (specifically building 7 of the world trade center) may be truly under some sort of a brainwashing by the U.S. government and mass media.

I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded, that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used to ignite war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice movement only address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used to justify the flames of war and repression at home and abroad. We must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth.
