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.

I worked in the South Tower for almost 2 years, 1984 and 1985, doing renovation construction. I knew those buildings and this NONSENSE has harmed us enough. We were attacked by our OWN GOVERNMENT with or without the part al Quada played. NO reason for Building 7 to fall. NO 757 crashed into the Pentagon. NO WAY a building of that structure could have fallen without controlled demo charges especially STRAIGHT DOWN. This was the American version of the Nazi burning of the Reichstag.

I have NO DOUBT that from the physical evidence, and engineering principles, that none of the WTC buildings came down solely as a result of the plane intrusions. It is my opinion that the evidence of an 'inside job' is so prevalent, and so sloppily carried out , that the perpetrators, are ASKING TO BE CAUGHT ! By being so SLOPPY, the perpetrators are inviting us to end the decades of 'behind the scenes/inside job manipulations' that have enslaved so many. Let's honor their subconscious request !

Studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, Scotland and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 2011. Trained beyond MTQ2 in the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps. Possess a broad knowledge of military armaments, explosives & demolition technology. A recent graduate who designs Open-Source Hardware, but not currently employed by an engineering firm, partially due to conscientious objections to work available.
To me it is obvious both by physical intuition and training that dropping the top 10-15 floors of a circa-100-floor steel-framed building onto the rest intact below can not possibly cause the entire structure to collapse under its own weight, regardless of how much fire is blazing in the building. If nothing more had happened in Manhattan on the morning of 11/9/2001 than airliners each hitting those floors of WTC buildings 1 and 2, it is possible that sustained fire could have allowed the remaining beams supporting the top section of either building to buckle, and for said section(s) to fall to one side into the street below, but nothing more. Within the present spectrum of human knowledge, such a complete collapse, nearly symmetrical, near free-fall speed, can only be achieved using controlled demolition.

Nothing particularly unusable about me, I am an outraged citizen of the USA . Please get to the truth of this sinister event. Please. Dick Parman
I have personally attended 3 implosions, and was on a professional video team at the implosion of a bank building here in Honolulu where I was even struck by a hot fragment from a shape charge. I have been a mechanic for 25 years and though not a scientist I have a fundamental understanding of the behavior of metal, and the effect impact and heat have on it. Even with out all the wonderful information on the construction design of World Trade 1 and 2 and building 7 I felt the way they collapsed was certainly a controlled implosion. I also always thought it odd that there were so many well placed video cameras aimed at the Towers that morning.

Retired in 2003 but still contribute to the industry via the UK APM
I was working in Brighton(UK) on 9/11. It was in a small office where one of the guys saw an internet news feed about the first plane. We then all started checking to see what was going on. We saw the 2nd plane hit and the collapse of the 2 towers. My first reaction was shock at how neatly the towers went down and didn't collapse at an angle from the point of impact. I must admit, even without any engineering experience, I smelt a rat. Subsequently of course with such a media storm and evidence and facts coming out bit by bit over the years I am even more convinced 2 planes alone did not achieve this. Leaving aside WTC7 and the Pentagon.

None.. just a regular Mom, Grandma, and great grandmom. I learned long ago that 9/11 was a lie from the very beginning...sitting at my desk at a local hospital and watching the second Tower come down , my first words out of my mouth, (as I spoke to myself) were: ' how does that happen?'.'..friends gave me info in 2009, that made me research 9/11 ...a mere child could put 2+2 and get 4....same thing with the lies and fraud about the truth of 9/11. it sickens me!!...
Lies..bogus findings from NIST ...sickening investigation to say the least! Too many witnesses who speak of explosions ongoing in the Towers before they came down. ...my words as I watched it all on TV were, 'How is that possible?'

I believe that, in the interest of those who died and those who lost loved ones on 9/11/2001, there should be a more comprehensive, independent, and critical look at the event.

I am insulted at how such an obvious demolition is written off to the American people. Building 7 is the weakest link in an obvious cover-up of 9/11. It cannot be denied, it must be pursued.

When I saw the Towers come down I new something was wrong. Nothing that strongly built could come down that symmetrically and quickly without a very good plan of destruction at many floor levels. To tell the truth, the planners would have to be some of the very best at demolition. When I saw WTC7 come down I knew there was a crime not perpetrated by a man in a cave. Impossible

In my opinion, all that is relevant is having the ability to think rationally and critically, and to be an honest human being with a conscience. That is my relevant biography.
I find it thoroughly implausible that on September 11th 2001 the impact of, and burning fuel from, two commercial passenger airplanes brought down three towers at the World Trade Center in New York City. I find the fact that these steel towers melted from a jet fuel fire implausible. I find the fact that these towers collapsed in just a few hours implausible. I find the speed at which they collapsed (at near free fall rate) to be disturbing. I find the manner in which they collapsed vertically straight downwards disturbing. Unless the laws of physics became inapplicable on September 11th 2001 in New York City, then something clearly does not add up. I know not who did it. I know not how. But I do know that two jets with burning fuel, on their own did not bring down those three steel towers at that speed.

It appears to be a controlled explosion. After listening to eye witness accounts and watching video of the destruction of the Towers it is clear they were brought down by explosives, not a jet airplane or jet fuel burning. It is clear there has been a cover up. I am aware of a number of government employees who have told lies because they were told to. In this case whistleblowers have been fired like Kevin Ryan, the UL employee who reported that the tests UL did on the steel supporters would not have collapsed due to the fire. It is a sad day when you can't trust your own government and after this cover up by both parties it becomes a question of who can you trust? This needs to be cleared up.
