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.

The way theses buildings collapses is very strange, especially for building 7. I don't understand why the two first towers fell like that because of a fire in the UPPER levels. I can understand that the upper levels fall down but not the entire building... this is very non-natural.

I have practiced small-scale commercial and residential building and/or architecture for thirty five years. More recently, I have taught Architectural Design at our local Community College.
Everyone who has completed an accredited Architectural program has studied physics, properties of materials, and statics as minimum conditions of receiving a baccalaureate degree. Engineering students receive an even more rigorous education and training. As a licensed Architect or engineer we have received practical experience and relatively rigorous testing. If we can suspend our belief systems, and look at this event as a set of physical causes and effects, we will find much evidence to hypothesize causes other than those expressed by the Official reports of what occurred on September 11, 2001. For my part, I am expecting information at the level at which I was trained and tested in order to have the right and privilege to practice Architecture California.

I'm married and have two grown children, a graduate electrical engineer and a dental hygienist. And now I'm looking forward to retirement soon.
One day in 2005 I was just surfing the internet and came across the AE911truth web site. Then I went back to it the next day. And the day after. Then I discovered Steven Jones' paper, Why Indeed did the WTC Buildings Collapse. And it all became clear. I think of all the 9/11 questions, the explosive demolition of all three WTC buildings should be the easiest for anyone to understand.

I'm a college graduate with a B.S. degree in Air Transportation Management. I started my flight training when I was 19 years old and got my private pilots license when I was 20. Over the last couple of years, I started learning about the Illumanati and conspiracy when I join the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps about two years ago. One of the members told me to look up the trilateral commission. From that point on, my whole view of the world changed.
Once the top part of the twin towers started to fall, they would of continued to tip to the side, then they would of fallen to the ground (that's common sense and basic physics). But, because of explosives below the fall line, the top of the buildings continued to fall straight down through the building with no resistance what so ever. Will someone please ask President George Bush, if he's so worried about Al-Qaeda and more attacks on America, then why are all of our borders wide open for anyone and/or anything to come across at anytime? Just after the attacks, our airports were secured with national guards and there was no debate about it. Yet, he and congress still debate to this day about closing and securing our borders. The reason they are open is because 9/11 was an inside job.

after the second plane hit we sat and watched and i said to myself , if they burn long enough one of them is going to fall over. i figured one of the towers might lean and fall , that the portion of the building above the damage might fall over . after the second tower collapsed i figured it must be nearly impossible for a massive skyscraper to fall straight down like that let alone two of them . i wondered how pissed off someone would have to be to fly an airplane into a building - i told myself that there would be an investigation and all of the details would eventually be sorted out . somehow it didn't add up . when the third building collapsed i started to wonder who held the title and who was the beneficiary on the insurance policy .

Although I have no experience in structural engineering, I cannot accept that the buildings would have collapsed in the manner they did due to fire alone and at nearly free fall speed. However, more importantly, the evidence collectively gives me grave concerns over the official reports submitted by FEMA, NIST and the 911 Commission.

By watching the video's of the twin tower's demise, it truly doesn't make since how government's explanation (if you can call it such) even would even begin to clarify what happened. Plus the lack of acknowledgment or explanation regarding building #7

I estimate construction costs for industrial and commercial building projects from blue prints and on site.All of my estimates involve some sort of structural steel.
The world trade center buildings were structurally redundant.This would easily allow the weight of the structure to shift from a damaged area to the rest of the steel grid below and be supported.That is unless the lower structure had been compromised in some way.The visual and eye witness evidence clearly shows explosions of some sort particularizing concrete,and shattering the redundant steel structure, blowing it hundreds of feet away from the buildings.The nearly free fall speed of the collapse states that there was little,if any resistance from the lower steel and concrete floors of the buildings.What eliminated the resistance of the redundant steel structure below the impact sites,turning the concrete into fine dust?A gravity driven collapse should have left concrete floors piled on top of each other in large chunks of very hard concrete.I believe the collapse of world trade center buildings 1,2 and 7 were all the result of controlled demolition with high explosives.

I was in the towers in September 2000. I was amazed at the enormity, especially when you entered the tower through the lobby and passed through the column enclosures. I could not believe that they went down. It never really made sense to me until I stopped listening to regular media in 2004 and got into real research.

i firmly believe these buildings were imploded. it was a masterful operation I think by the Israeli intelligence and the alleged hi jackers. i firmly believe the Israeli intelligence knew of the plot to hit the twin towers and used this information to coincide with the planned destruction of the buildings. it was a known fact the buildings were in need of billions of dollars of repairs and code violations asbestos being one of these violations. the owner desperately wanted the insurance payout increased. why was the scrap metal shipped away and disposed of before analyzing could be accomplished. there is a whole host of precarious moves surrounding this event. i believe it was a conspiracy. i firmly believe this

I am not a technical expert. I work about 8 blocks from where the WTC buildings once stood - in one of the largest federal buildings in the country - on the 41st floor.
I work in NY City but was not there on 9/11. It is hard to believe that so many innocent people were killed deliberately (it appears that most people would have made it out if there were only airplane damage and fire), but the evidence of controlled demolition is definitely there. It would have been impossible to absorb this at first - but now it stands out so clear. I have always had this instinctive reaction about not believing any subsequent terror alerts. Now I know why. My colleagues say that on 9/11, as they were evacuating out of our federal building, FBI agents were in the lobby rushing them out and saying clear the area = we're next.

The collapse of WTC 7 looks just like a controlled demolition. The collapse has several scientific characteristics of controlled demolition. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. The collapse of WTC 7 is a controlled demolition.

The attack upon the WTC was highly suspicious. The fall of the towers and bldg 7 were even more suspicious and the official reports are highly suspect. Ground Zero was a crime scene, and should have been preserved and investigated as such, not dismantled and carted off and sanitized. The truth always comes out. And the truth will be more horrific than what happened that day. Thank you for your actions to uncover that truth.

Scientific proof is the only evidence that needs to be examined. It was obvious that the collapses were controlled by professionals. There is no other possible way for the buildings to come down the way they did.
