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.

Occupation: Radiopharmaceuticals
I have worked in pharmaceutical industry regulatory affairs and as an instrument technician and Metrologist/Calibrationist of laboratory instruments. I currently produce a drug known as F-18 FDG, a radioisotope tracer used for diagnosis of cancers and tumors and observation of abnormal tissue. This is the primary agent used for PET imaging of humans and saves countless lives.
Anyone who thinks analytically in the slightest and has played with blocks as a child or even piled stones into a cairn knows that constructs never collapse in identical fashion unless they are built to do so and collapsed in a very particular way. To believe that two of the world's tallest buildings would come down this way, like telescoping into their basements due to a side impact and fire, is either stupid or easily deceived. These buildings were demolished. Of that, I am certain. I knew it when I saw them fall and the dust cloud smothered the city, that it had been blown up. All the surviving firemen talking about secondary explosions... Caused by what? Leaking natural gas couldn't cause what they described. That means people caused the demolition. But why? I think that the documents by the group known as PNAC gives us a look at who and why. We already know how. Add to this the detail that G.W. Bush has purchased a large acreage ranch in Paraguay, a country known for its harboring of wanted former dictators and without extradition to any country. Joseph Mengele the Nazi Dr. of Death and Augusto Pinochet, and many other ranking German fugitives fleeing Nuremburg justice and banana republic despots have found safety there. If he were wanting to invest inland, why there with a reputation like it has? Because he needs a place to run if and when America learns the truth. There have been trials where people were convicted of murder based on evidence that appears very similar and a subject has motive (PNAC provides), opportunity. The PNAC signatories include Cheney and Wolfowitz, and an alarming number of other Republican leaders and presidential cabinet members. I think persons at this level could easily have something like this done. The ranch in Paraguay is like a ticket out of town and big enough for all of them and their kids. These guys also attempted to force the Taliban and the new Iraqi government to sign treaties that would have tried to force them to give or sell at reduced rates about 70% of their oil to US companies. The Taliban refused a lobbyist named Hamid Kharzaias as many as 4 times the last after being entertained at GW Bush's ranch in Crawford TX. He refused to allow us to build a pipeline from the Caspian sea region in Russia to the Persian for transit via tanker ship to USA. They had their reasons, what those were is not important. After that refusal we invaded and installed Kharzai as President of Afghanistan. You better believe he signed the pipeline agreement the first moment. If the goal was freeing folks why do they need to give us rights to heir biggest and best national resource? Why was the Taliban in Crawford and then their country invaded? Not because of Al Queda. I can believe now that Osama Bin Laden might have agreed to play Dr. Evil here for a promise he wouldn't be caught. The Iraqis have amassed billions but the PNAC folks aren't interested in that. There's far more to be had from oil in the future like control over other nations and the ability to subjugate the oil dependent nations. Add this all together and even if I've rambled something stinks to high heaven. All of this is not a coincidence and it points to George Bush, Dick Cheney, PNAC and the rest of the so-called Neocons who also have Coincidentally been linked to election fraud and other skullduggery. You believe all this is innocent? I have at least 7 other deadly lies I'd like to show you but you won't like many of them either starting with The check's in the mail. Mostly I can't print the others

I really have no structural experience other than taking structural engineering at NMSU. My experience has been with highways and municipal design.
The official story is that the buildings, weakened by fire, and falling under their own wight, pancaked down. The collapse happened in less than 10 seconds, which is about the time for a free falling object from that height to hit the ground. Resistance of building joints at each floor would have slowed the fall and possibly caused a much less even descent, perhaps even toppling. Pancaking would have left much more evidence. Explosives would have removed all evidence leaving only dust.

Nothing in the official story makes sense and every bit of evidence around leads me to only one conclusion, That WTC collapses were controlled demolitions. I'd like to trust our Government, but the families who were effected by this tragedy deserve a REAL explanation by our Government for what happened, and WHO did this to the 3,000+ people who died.

I am in the Army and remember being in the dining facility on Fort Stewart, GA and remember seeing only one building hit by a plane. By the time I got to work another plane struck the second Tower, but I remember hearing that the buildings would be able to withstand such an impact. Shortly thereafter the Towers came crumbling down. My life as a soldier was never the same again.
I believe all three World Trade towers were brought down using a mix of explosives and thermite.

I am a concerned citizen of these United States who has been studying the evidence, for many years, that clearly suggests 9/11 could only have taken place with the cooperation of very high ranking US government officials.
The evidence is overwhelming that the destruction of the 3 WTC buildings was the result of premeditated, professionally executed use of very sophisticated demolitions. The use of hijacked aircraft was but a smokescreen to hide a greater nefarious plan to create world panic, involvement in war and so many other reasons, we the public have the right to know about.

The outcome of the the 9/11 commission is by no means conclusive. Americans aren't stupid but a nationalist zeal can lead any population to bury its head in the sand rather than face uncomfortable truths. Surely so many accredited engineers and architects reaching the same kind of conclusion with just the circumstantial evidence is reason enough to hold an independent investigation.

In my youth, I studied architecture for eight years. I am now a builder of residential room additions, and do volunteer work for local enities in my field of expertise.
In my expert analysis, it is chemically, physically, and structurally impossible for the twin towers and building seven to be completely destroyed by fire alone. Jet fuel burns at 575 degrees and office furniture burns at 550 degrees. How can high strength steel which has been certified to stand up to heat from 2000 degrees to 3000 degrees for two hours mandated by building codes, fail in an hour?? It can't. I deal with building codes every day. If steel that could have failed that easily was used, it would never have passed any codes inspections. Does the government think we are stupid?? Anyone who knew about this before it happened and were in anyway connected with it are guilty of mass murder and crimes against humanity.

Through many hundreds of hours of watching videos on youtube, feel extremely compelled that: -Somehow thermite was used to bring the towers down in a controlled demolition. -this the Pearl Harbor like event that the Project for a New American Century neocons needed to push us into the Middle East -the war in Afghanistan is to secure an oil pipeline to the Caspian Sea -the war in Iraq was for control of the oil, and to establish another base in the Middle East why- -are there so many witness reports of secondary explosions? -have I seen thermal satellite photos of large heated areas under all 3 Towers that went on for a long time after the collapse? -did WTC7 go down when it wasn't hit by a plane (and have a pool of molten metal underneath it?) -did you not want us to know about Able Danger? -did you allow the president and vice president to testify in secret, and not under oath?

I'm not an architect or an engineer, nor do I possess a higher learning degree of any kind. However, I believe that with the evidence provided by ae911truth.org, compared with the official story from the media, the NIST report, and the 9/11 Commissioned Report, one can competently play the part of juror in this case.
Based on the evidence provided by ae911truth.org, coupled with my personal, albeit uneducated perspective, it is my opinion that the three buildings that collapsed on September 11, 2001 were the result of planned demolitions and not exclusively to the plane crashes or the structural fires that ensued.

I don't have any technical education or experience. I'm just a normal person who doesn't believe what the news or official reports say is true of that day. I would like to know what really happened.
All three buildings fell perfectly into themselves. I have no experience in explosives or no knowledge of how hot metal has to be for a building to collapse, but in my eyes it didn't look right. I saw what looked like explosions coming from many different floors in many different videos before the buildings collapsed. I also watched a video from the people who built the WTC that said the material used to build the WTC was heat resistant and it shouldn't have melted or collapsed. I just don't believe the official story and I would like to know the real truth about what happened and how so many people died that day.

My degree is in biology and psychology. I've taken additional courses to get into medical school.
After taking two courses in physics, it became obvious to me that something else helped these towers collapse. Unless the laws of physics were somehow suspended in New York City that day, it is physically impossible for the towers to fall at near free fall speed with out the support columns being removed from beneath. Considering that everything was vaporized to ashes and that huge steel beams were thrown outward, controlled demolition is the best explanation for the facts.
