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.

Graduated from UIUC in 1985 with High Honors. Have been working for Illinois Dept. of Transportation since then as a construction inspector/surveyor and design engineer. I had several introductory courses in structural analysis and design at the university.
I have wondered since 9/11 where all the building material went and why the pile was not higher. I never saw Building 7 fall until watching Loose Change years later. Richard Gage gave me a satisfactory explanation of the odd nature of the collapses in a lecture I saw on the web in the spring of 2008 and I have remained a firm disbeliever in the official story ever since.

I am in the process of acquiring credible data on the matter. I am horified to discover molten steel at ground zero. Aviation fuel does not melt steel, Thermite on the other hand does.I watched the towers fall on television and it did not escape my attention that the event was the perfect PULL. that is if a demolition crew was paid to do the job they could not have done it any better.

I graduated from the University of Idaho in 1997 with a degree in Architecture. I am 2/3 done with my state license exams. I have been involved with commercial projects for all of my architectural career. I have worked with many materials from wood, concrete, and steel. I have only experience in low rise buildings no higher then 3 stories.
I believe from my professional experience and from reviewing the footage that the building collapses, were not from fires or the plane impacts. From my studies of building collapse in college structural courses no building collapses that we studied collapsed such a uniform manner, and speed. There is only one way that this occurred and that is for internal explosions on the structural support columns similar to a demolition of a building would occur. There was not enough damage to building 7 to cause a structural collapses. This is my opinion on the collapses, a basic understanding of structural properties of steel and concrete, a knowledge of physics, and some common since have brought me to this conclusion.

Building 7 was controlled demolition. Its behavior was consistent with controlled demolition in that it was an imploding free-fall, and there weren't any external stimulus at all that could have brought it down. It takes the best controlled demolition team 2 weeks to wire a building for demolition. So, there was knowledge of the attack before it occurred.

I have a B.S. in Electrical Electronic Engineering Technology from Spring Garden College, Philadelphia, PA. I am a licensed contractor and an inventor with US Patents (mid 70's to present).
It definitely appears that Bldg #7 was a controlled demolition along with the other towers. It was announced on TV that #7 was going to come down and I also saw a clip of Larry Silverstein say pull it, which is a demolition term. Popular Mechanics said it was brought down by fire, which is totally contradictory to what the news and silverstein said. How could all these explosives be set for #7 between 11AM and 5:20PM? It takes weeks of planning to set explosives for demolition. This leads me to believe that the explosives were set long before 9/11. The fact that the ground was still burning up to 3 months after is also an indication that jet fuel was not the culprit. Witnesses said there was greenish smoke coming from the ground and some rescue workers said there shoes were melting. What happened to all the office furniture and door knobs in the buildings?

I have a BS in Computer Engineering from Tufts University Engineering School. I believe that everything has a scientific explanation, and anything that defies a scientific explanation is either bad science or something that is not yet conventional science. In other words, if science can't explain it, either the effect is something that exceeds current methods of scientific measure or your data is bad and/or your assumptions are incorrect.
Seeing that the collapse of all three WTC structures can be explained with classical chemistry and Newtonian physics, any evidence of molten steel would indicate that a form of combustion much hotter than the burning of jet fuel caused the failure of the steel structure. When approaching maximum oxidation efficiency, such as in the inside of a jet engine, jet fuel will burn at close to 1500 'C, however, fuel burning under normal atmospheric conditions, even with significant updraft, could burn no hotter than 1000-1100 'C. The melting point of high carbon steel is about 1350' C, depending on the specific alloy. Even with prolonged exposure to the the heat of that burn could cause steel to weaken enough for it to bend and collapse under its own weight, it would not produce 'rivers of molten steel'. That sounds more like something that would have been exposed to a much hotter flame for a short duration, such as thermite. A rapid burn would also better explain the collapse that resembles that of a demolition. It stands to reason that if the twin towers failed due to steel failure due to heat, it would have fallen at an angle as it would seem highly unlikely that the entire structure at the burn floor would fail simultaneously. What is harder to explain is the notion that the collapse of the twin towers not only caused the fire at 7 WTC, but that it was enough of a fire for the building to collapse as though it were demolished as well. Finally, there is the cold fact that none of the gold which was in the reserve at 7 WTC was recovered. Gold doesn't disappear regardless of whether it was melted or not. Put simply, there are just too many 'strange' facts in this incident for the standing explanation to be acceptable by any person of science, regardless of discipline. The fact that the report was rushed and debris was removed from the site with what can only be described as haste, one has to think there is more to the story. A lot more.

Having worked in Las Vegas and done extensive research on building demolition, it was obvious to me from the moment I first saw videos of the WTC towers falling that the collapses were caused by controlled demolition, which was why I was so shocked by the obviously false conclusions of the NIST report. The mechanics of materials and the simple laws of physics dictate that the towers MUST have collapsed by simultaneous failure of the entire structural grid, which can ONLY occur in a planned demolition. The people must know the truth.

One does not have to be an architect or engineer to see that the official version about 9/11 cannot be true. No building falls in on itself as did WTC 7. It is very important for the whole world to know who blew up the buildings. Man mu' kein Architekt oder Ingeneur sein um zu sehen, dass die offizielle Version 'ber 9/11 nicht der Wahrheit entsprechen kann. Kein Geb'ude f'llt so in sich zusammen wie es das WT 7 tat. Es ist f'r die ganze Welt sehr wichtig zu erfahren wer die Geb'uden gesprengt hatte.

My nephew and EOD military man came home from Iraq and showed me Loose Change a few years ago. He got out of the military because of what he knew our government did to Americans on our soil and he did not want to die overseas for that same government. I want the truth and am in fear of those that destroyed so much that day. I am so proud of your courage to pursue truth.

I am a 34 year old man and have seen enough to know that I can tell when someone is hiding something. Vague answers or ignoring the questions that have been put forth by the American people as well as answers that contradict science is enough to tell me we haven't been given the the truth. I want it.
The evidence put forth by numerous entities all aligns and speaks to much more truth than the hidden facts given in the governments report.

On the day it happened, I was sitting on my couch in my apartment waiting to catch a bus to LA for my brothers funeral when I turned on the TV and there it was all over the TV, no matter what channel you turned on. From that moment on, I have never felt that it was the product of some foreign group. I have always believed that it had something to do with our government in some way or another.

"I felt from the very beginning that 911 was an inside job to help justify the on-going government war agenda and to reap huge profits for the Bankers, CEO's, Politicians and Countries who support this war machine...and of course all of this being done in the name of the world's taxpayers, at the expense of the world's taxpayers, didn't you know?...This video clip didn't last long, but at the very beginning there was a clip showing one of the airplanes entering a trade tower and the nose of it exiting the building fully intact...With my many years working with these types of airplanes, and knowing only too well that the nose cone is by far, not the strongest part of the airplane, there is simply no way the nose of the airplane could survive all those steel beams still intact...no way!!! Too many questions left unanswered...too many lies and incompetence by NIST...A government organization doing the investigation for another government organization...Can you say ""HUGE CONFLICT OF INTEREST???"" We need a new investigation...""NOW""..."
"Demolition of some sort...without a doubt in my heart...Both Building 7 and a Trade Tower had bombs go off on the lower levels...not to mention the many levels seen visually on the video-recordings...I also heard that a Building 6 was damaged with the interior being mostly demolished...what happened here?...no plane...no fire...Who owned this one and what insurance pay-off happened here? Many people heard bombs go off so why wasn't this avenue fully investigated and accurately reported? Why was ANY of the debris of the trade towers' ""crime scene"" trucked out before a thorough investigation had been completed? Why was most of the trade tower debris pulverized?...I've watched ""September 2001 - The New Pearl Harbour""... WOW!!! How could anyone, after watching this documentary, NOT question the official government version of events? Who has profited the most from this crime???? It was also a great distraction from Rumsfield's speech the day before saying that trillions of taxpayers' monies were unaccounted for...hmmmmm!!!!"

Absolutely no formal education in physics or engineering outside of basic information gathered through the California Public K-12 Educational system.
After examining the footage and hearing the official report, it is painfully obvious that there needs to be actual and various independent and formal investigations into the events that transpired on and leading up to September 11, 2001.
