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 studies as an undergraduate were highly geared towards a career in structural engineering. Eventually, chose to pursue a M.Architecture, but was fortunate enough to be able to take many graduate courses on structural design in the Columbia University School of Engineering, as the core requirements for the M.Arch I were covered.
It's a hard pill to swallow. Honest, truth seeking people cannot avoid thinking of the horrendous consequences that necessarily accompany facing the facts of a controlled demolition. For years, like many, I ignored the evidence, not because it wasn't obvious. It is obvious only once you focus on the facts. It was because I, like so many millions, took the official story for granted, without question. The evidence is overwhelming for anybody who cares to face the horrible truth.

Factory Automation Engineer since 1985. Mostly in Aluminum Plants working with aluminum melt and holding furnaces as well as automating many continuous and batch process that require a thorough understanding of forces and inertia. - - - - For 3 years I worked at an A&E firm doing building power in steel frame buildings up to 7 stores tall and have observed the fire proofing put on the support columns. I have been tangentially involved with fire rating of control and transformer rooms.
The building collapses have never made sense to me because of the following reasons. - - 1: The free-fall time. Objects colliding do not operate like that. - - 2: The melted steel. Without preheated air, I see no way to obtain those temperatures. and oxygen starved fires, as shown by the red and flames and smoke, make it impossible to obtain those temperatures. - - 3: The instantaneous collapse. Although I am not a structural engineer, that makes no sense to me. Heat processes take time. - - 4: Even the NIST says the jet fuel burned quickly and the fires were office fires.

I realized, after 2 hours of watching and listening to TV on 911 about the events at the WTC, that the discernible facts were not as described by the frivolous official statements and later stories. However and by whomever the actions were carried out and the patsies recruited, it was totally different than the official statements concluded and reports indicated. My current conclusions, based upon extensive reading, historical comparisons, physical and chemical analysis, discussions, lectures, and the viewing of available videos, as well as the political, military, and financial policies that have been undertaken since 911, all support my initial assumptions about the 911 events.

The Truth is that huge, that it seems that only technicians, hiding behind their technical knowledge, dare to speak out their opinion about this terrible event about using explosives. Non-technicians are excused by not-understanding and do not compromise themselves. Is that why politicians prefer to act as technical imbeciles?

The Twin Towers collapsing on that day is, border line probable (even though no steel and concrete building has ever collapsed due to fire in history) since they were struck by commercial airliners. WTC 7 is the one that mainly caught my attention 5 years ago. How does a building of that size fall into its own footprint when I has not struck by a plane. Sure it was struck by falling debris, but if that little amount of debris and file can make a skyscraper collapse, than the lead man on the project had to be a 10 year old because that is not good quality construction at all. I have been a devout 9-11 researcher since I graduated college. My father was an engineer for 35 years and we discuss the events of that day at length almost daily. I know what I am talking about.

After visiting this website and watching the documentary, along with a couple others, I am now convinced the explanations the American people were given for the tragedies and loss of life that day can not be acceptable to anyone who views the evidence as described here. As stated in my bio, I am not an engineer, but I do understand the fundamental laws of physics and can separate fact from fiction. The truth must be known.

Native to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I have lived in New Orleans since 2002. I am a writer and editor. A recent published work is The New Orleans of Lafcadio Hearn (LSU Press, 2007). I did not evacuate before Katrina. One of my sisters-in-law told me weeks later that she was praying that she would hear from me and at that moment she heard my voice on Fox News being interviewed. I was disappointed to learn that she got her news from Fox, and now horrified to learn that her oldest son joined the Air Force.
In the past month I have devoted time to look into assertions that contradict the 9/11 Commission's report. I lacked the physics and engineering expertise to doubt the explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers. I've only learned of WTC-7 a few weeks ago. It is impossible for a reasonable person who approaches with an open mind the research of these engineers and architects, as well as other investigators, without seeing that there are more monstrous truths that have been kept from the American people and the rest of the world. The real heroes in this so-called War Against Terror are these forensic investigators, many of whom have risked and even sacrificed their careers to do what we expected the government to do. It is typical of the federal government to try to get away with investigating itself. Citizens under the leadership of Levees.org are also demanding an independent investigation of the Corp of Engineers' levee failures during and after Hurricane Katrina. It is a waste of tax-payers money to conduct sham investigations, and a disservice to the country to force private citizens do the work that our government is paid to do. I ask Congress for an independent investigation into the events of September 11, 2001, including a generous allocation of funds to carry it out to completion, funds that will include reimbursement to the engineers, architects, and other professional investigators whose data has been presented to academic and citizens forums and will be presented to an independent panel with legal authority. Every day more citizens learn about the other, unofficial story, and every day those same citizens find that more convincing than the official story. It's time for Congress to listen to the real experts, and to the people. We are approaching the seventh anniversary of 9/11 and the third anniversary of Katrina. Independent investigations should be announced by Congress on or before those anniversaries, and Congress should also pass a resolution stating that future investigations into such disasters must always be independent.

I am an Economics, Political Science and Italian major at the University of Rochester but have taken a couple intro-courses in Mechanical Engineering.
After reading books like Why Buildings Stand Up, Why Buildings Fall Down and Structures one thing really stands out: the concept of over-engineering. Structures are designed to withstand many times the forces they are expected to encounter. The WTC Towers certainly were designed to withstand gravity and the impact of planes, as well as the resulting fires.

I congratulate all the professionals who have begun/signed on to this petition. Your strength of character is noted and you have established yourself as patriots. The government story is clearly not true. It does not even make an attempt to explain the evidence, most important of which is that two buildings ten times as tall as they are wide that were asymmetrically damaged in there top third floors, fell neatly in small pieces into there own footprint at free fall speed. To say nothing of Building 7, which is not mentioned in the only official inquiry, was not hit by a plane, did not sustain significant fire damage, and bore identical resemblance to a controlled demolition. The primary reason why the American public willfully refuses to examine the evidence, is that the consequences of the government story not being true are grim. Again, I congratulate you.

There is undoubtedly an American oil agenda that was fulfilled by the 9/11 attacks, that may indicate some foul play. But there are many educated members of congress as well as presidential candidates that strongly believe that we are at fault for the war. These individuals have nothing to gain financially by the US being at war; if anything, they realize the financial strain it is putting on our country, yet they strongly believe it is a fight worth fighting. This leads me to believe that there may be a legitimate threat in these overseas countries.

Steel frame buildings don't collapse through themselves into their subbasements because of fire. BBC reported WTC7 had collapsed due to fire & damage 20 minutes before it actually collapsed. How did they know this? Why don't they want you to know about WTC7 now? Why did WTC7 not get one mention in the 571 page 9/11 Commission Report? If the Psychopaths that carried this mass murder out are powerful enough to access these buildings to wire them with explosives to kill 3000 people. Then I would suggest that they are powerful enough to create & control the story they have sold. Fortunately they are not perfect in executing and covering up their evils as the evidence on this site is proof of that. Wake up People before it is too late.
