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.

My father worked at 115 Broadway while the trade center was constructed. I watched radio row be replaced by a crater and then what would become the WTC 1&2. When I watched the towers come down on TV I knew something was wrong with the picture. I was in the USAF and I know what JP4 is and the fact that they just swept away the evidence made me look very closely at the NIST report. I do not think the conclusions of the NIST report come from the evidence and I would expect a real investigation be conducted in the United States of America so the responsible parties can be held accountable.

I have a BSCE Civil Engineering, Michigan Technological University, 1970, and I attended Boston Architectural College for two years. I was first licensed as an architect in Michigan in 1976, and have been licensed continuously since then in several states including New York and New England. I have had a diverse practice for 40 years with emphasis on historic preservation, residential design and energy conservation issues. My experience has included being president of three different architectural firms in Michigan and New England. I continue to practice full time. I'm a member of AIA and an NCARB certificate holder.
I fully support the goals of AE for 9/11 Truth. I believe my outrage and shock at being asked to believe the net of lies surrounding this event, matches the feelings of the founding members of AE 9/11 Truth. As I watched the towers fall on television I knew the rapid destruction on display made no scientific sense. The so-called evidence, media claims and subsequent official proclamations all reeked of a hideous betrayal by our leaders. It was a betrayal by violent forces indifferent to the well-being of humanity in general and the American citizenry in particular. Just who these violent forces are is the next question (assuming we can handle the answer). Getting the science sorted out is fundamental to understanding what happened. I support that. Though the tentacles of this subject run in every direction, this betrayal of our national confidence and honor as citizens must not be allowed to stand.

The official story of the collapse of these buildings is not believable to anyone with a working knowledge of construction. It is in the interests of all building professionals to get to the bottom of this. I would urge all professional bodies to swing their authority behind a call for a detailed and comprehensive investigation of the facts. There is something seriously wrong here.

There is no scientific means that the crash of the jets and subsequent fires could have caused the structural failure and collapse of Tower 7 and Towers 1,2. If well observed in all collapses one can see demolition blasts sequences as the tower come down. Surely they must be thermite charges because they are the only type explosive that could generate the heat for structural steel failure and sequential collapse. Also when one sees the vaporization of human and material remains and the debris pike below glowed at 3000 degrees f with thermite traces, it is obvious it was a black ops operation.

After reading official reports, reading alternative information and with my backgroung studies in Engineering & physics, I cannot simply believe that these tower went down according to the official version. I will make my best of efforts to spread this doubt amongst the Engineering Society in Qu'bec. USA might be targeted at the moment but if in fact, we unveil the truth about these attacks on American soil, the world wide population will all benefit from it.

I was born and raised on the farm. For the last 41 years I have worked as a machinist. After seeing the treachery of Pres. Nixon I became very interested in what was happening to my country. The more I read and search the intent of our Founding Fathers, the more I realise that todays leaders are not following our Founding Fathers at all. There are a few exceptions, such as cong. Ron Paul. He is a true Statesman.
I have become more & more aware that there is something wrong with the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings. After viewing the DVD of AE911truth.org I'm convinced that we are being lied to by the government.

Ever since viewing this event on T.V, I had complete doubt that a plane could do that much damage to three buildings. Especially to building 7 which was not even hit by a plane. I have watched many demolition videos and this seems all too similar. There was no way that those buildings could fall within 10 seconds without the use of explosives. Finally there is something I can do to voice my opinion about this matter. I would very much like to find out what really happened. I hope the parties involved with the demolition of those buildings are put to justice. Killing all those innocent people is wrong.

Within 24 hours of 9/11 I had an article in my in-box that told me that the FBI was being housed in a hotel, in advance of the incident; suspicions were aroused within 24 hours of the tragedy. Truth always arises, and there is absolutely nothing hidden that shall not some day come to the surface. Was this a political ploy? I've read much to support that it was something that was pre-arranged by the government. Do I believe it? I believe anything is possible and that with power, well sometimes greed takes over and we lose sight of why we ran for office in the first place. People in power really need to guard themselves; it's so easy to get caught up in the momentum, the power!

Do they think we are complete idiots? It is obvious that the buildings did not collapse because of the planes alone. And the third building certainly did not.

As I watched the events that day I was in utter shock at what I was seeing. It kind of struck me as odd that both towers fell in nearly the same manner, but when I saw the WTC 7 fall, coming straight down like an elevator going down into the ground, I knew immediately that that building had been rigged with some kind of charges. I've seen too many shows about imploding buildings and I once watched an implosion in person. One of those they showed on TV didn't go off correctly and when the building met with the resistance of those floors that were still there, it fell to the side and did not come straight down as planned. So even if a fire could have weakened the steel in a few areas, it would have been impossible for the whole building to come down in perfect symmetry as WTC 7 did. It doesn't take much to understand how strongly these steel buildings are made. If they can take a powerful, direct hit from a large passenger jet, as these did, they certainly aren't going to crumble into small, manageable pieces under their own weight. Or as WTC 7 did, fall into it's own perfect footprint, in the way a demolition expert strives for.

There is no validated explanation for the collapse of WTC 7. WTC1 and WTC 2 also are suspect due to the speed and manner of collapse. The concentrated jets of debris shooting out of windows 30 floors below the collapse front cannot be explained by the pressure wave hypothesis involving a progressive collapse. There is no real evidence linking Al-Qaeda to 9/11. The audiotapes from the cockpit have not been released. There has not been an adequate explanation as to why the planes were not intercepted. Something is being covered up and we want to know what it is.

I am a 26 year old accountant currently working for Deloitte & Touche LLP and going through the necessary courses towards obtaining a Chartered Accountant designation. I have 2.5 years in the public accounting sector providing assurance and advisory services to medium and large privately and publicly traded corporations. I also was a student in McMaster University's Engineering Physics & Management program for 2.5 years and I have a fairly well developed understanding of Newtonian physics, among other sciences.
The collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7 all defy naturalistic explanations. No collapse in history that was driven by natural forces has ever produced the characteristics seen on 9/11. Their symmetry, speed and totality fly in the face of every explanation offered by any supposed authority. The discovery by Dr. Steven Jones of iron micro-spheres indicating the use of an incendiary device, as well as what appears to be unreacted thermite, is extremely valuable evidence that has gone completely ignored. The current explanation offered by NIST is both incomplete and internally inconsistent. To this day, nothing approaching a complete forensic investigation has ever been performed. The public deserves better.

Well what can I say. I'm only 26, and have no real experience in forensics or demolition. I only know what my eyes tell me. I am a Union painter and work in and around large buildings all the time.
I knew even as I watched the building fall that morning that they looked quite odd falling completely into themselves. Not too long before it happened I got to witness a building in downtown St. Louis be imploded. Lets just say deja vu was an adequate description of how I felt. An independent not-partisan, un-biased investigation is long overdue.

I am 36 and do not have any technical educational experience, only my intuition and my quest for knowledge. My parents were in DC on 9/11 and my boyfriend was almost on the plane that supposedly crashed in PA. My signing of this petition is to support the research needed to bring the truth about 9/11 to the forefront of society instead of the corners that no one wants us to go in.
It is so clear that it is scientifically impossible for the Towers to have gone down the way the media and the government said they did. I knew the very day it happened. Since then, having listened to, read and watched video footage, I feel even stronger that foul play took place and the truth needs to be made public knowledge instead of more lies and cover-ups.
