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.

Watching the Towers collapse on 9/11 was a total horror.... but even at that moment, you know, it just did not look right. A comprehensive investigation was never part of the agenda. It was always just assumed what transpired. There is substantial evidence that the time for a full investigation is now.

Towers partially fell at acceleration of Gravity: Therefore, the impact of a plane to either tower was not the cause of the towers destruction nor their fall into their footprint. The Plane Theory has too may fallacies. Please allow America to have an independent and judicial investigation of the 9/11 event.

How can heat from above cause a building to collapse from the bottom? It makes no sense.

I have not yet seen a convincing CIA/NSA/government-sponsored 'debunker' come up with an alternative analysis. We also need to stress that there is lots of circumstantial evidence out there that is as convincing as the physical evidence. I don't think the government will willingly fund another investigation. Spreading the message is far more important for now.

I graduated in December, 1987 with the highest GPA in the Electrical Engineering class at WMU after testing out of one curriculum class by waiver exam and another two by private examination by the professor (based on things I taught myself before enrolling) in return for lectures I gave to his classes on specific topics. I was always a natural at science and physics in high school, winning blue ribbons in the science fairs every year.
I knew the day the twin towers collapsed, while watching the event on TV, that they did not collapse as a result of impact and fires from the planes. Too many laws of physics were violated for that to have happened.

Currently serve as SEEDIdaho's President and resident Mechanical Engineer. I am a licensed mechanical engineer who has designed many commercial HVAC buildings and have been in the industry for about 10 years now. I have worked with structural engineers and understand the concepts necessary for structurally supporting a building. In addition, have received an education which includes materials failure, physics, structural analysis and other core classes which would help me understand a building's reaction to an impact of a plane and damage due to fire.
High rise steel buildings simply do not collapse due to fire. There is ample evidence of a controlled demolition and the rapid removal of debris implies a hurried non-investigated destruction of American property. This was a controlled demolition in which was not properly investigated. A travesty such as what happened on 9/11 should be thoroughly investigated and not swept under the rug. Building 7 is the proof necessary to warrant a different explanation as to who is responsible.

People say 'too many moving parts' etc in dismissing any theory other than the official one. But if there's a corrupt administration and complicit media covering for a few rich powerful men who've made billions then it doesn't matter if someone is caught red-handed. Without a platform there can be no reckoning. If this case was a murder trial with a regular 12-person jury, there would be enough circumstantial evidence to convict he or she ten times over. It will of course come out one day; but by then the protagonists will all be long gone. It must happen now.

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.

Over twenty five years of construction experience. Served as project supervisor on several high rise project's built in Atlantic City. I was involved with The Trump Taj Mahal project, which was built (1985-1990) using structural (428' tower) steel. Approx 18 thousand tons of steel.
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 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.

Regarding WTC 1 and WTC 2, it is impossible that these two buildings constructed of 200,00 tons of steel and over 400,000 yards of concrete could fall to the ground at virtually the same rate of speed as an object falling at free fall. In the case of Building 7 it is a model of controlled demolition and any objective inquiry will immediately verify this.
