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.

Building 7 cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The molten steel cannot be explained without controlled demolition. The immense cloud of dust at the TOPS of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by softened steel brought down by gravity. The vertical and horizontal ejects from the tops of Buildings 1 and 2 cannot be explained by gravitational force. The presence of thermate in the dust particles tells it all - the mainstream media does not - obviously. And how about the human remains outside ground zero?

I have read the evidence in Barrie Zwicker's book Towers of Deception, watched the DVD 911: In Plane Site, and read the list of indications of explosive devices used to destroy the World Trade Center buildings on the Architects and Engineers for 911 truth website. I agree with those who say there needs to be a new impartial 911 investigation where our leaders demand answers to learn who was responsible for these acts.

I have worked in the construction field since I was a child. I have built and renovated dozens of houses in NY and NJ. After receiving my B.S. in Civil Engineering I have worked for: an Excavation and Paving Contractor as an Estimator, an Underground Pipe Insertion Company as a Field Engineer, The N.Y.C. Parks Dept. as a Resident Engineer, a G.C. as a Construction Manager renovating historical buildings on the campus of City College of New York. I have also owned and operated my own Residential Home Development and Building Company. I am currently working as an Office Engineer for a Construction Management Company on a $30 million contract. I plan on obtaining a P.E. Licence in the near future.
Steel frame buildings do not collapse into their own footprints, into the path of most resistance, without the use of explosives or incendiaries (or unknown technologies that I am unaware of). If this was the case, why would one pay a controlled demolition company to wire an entire building, to demolish it, when one could just pack a floor with some jet fuel and slam a wrecking ball into it? Or, in the case of Building 7, just use the wrecking ball. There are just too many unanswered questions that the powers that be will not even acknowledge, let alone answer.

The way the structures were collapsing could not have been due entirely to an aircraft strike and the resulting jet fuel fire. There was another building that collapsed that was not hit by an aircraft. Buildings were in free fall and explosive residue was found in the dust. There is something else going on.

I enjoy 3-D visualisation techniques and video presentations in CAD of civil and building structures, particularly linear referencing.
On the one hand they are trying to convince us that the impact from the planes did not generate adequate dynamic energy to deform the buildings, but on the other hand they think we are stupid enough to believe that the mass of the collapsing building was sufficient to cause the progressive collapse that resembled that due to explosives.

I have been in architecture and construction for over 30 years. My primary experience was with K-12 public school buildings in rural Colorado communities. I am licensed in architecture in Colorado and Arizona and have a general contracting license in Denver, Colorado. Currently I work with a local developer on multiple projects.
Having reviewed hours of internet-based testimony regarding 9/11, I conclude the facts just don't add up. I have always been careful to focus on my discipline, architecture, and not try to be a structural engineer; however, I understand enough about structural engineering to question the 9/11 Commission's conclusions. I think it is important to review all the evidence and all the theories toward a more comprehensive explanation. 9/11 in itself was a sad day, but the aftermath has been even more tragic. We don't need a witch hunt, but we do need a better understanding of the facts to aid all of us to make prudent decisions for the future of the world.

I have looked at the evidence and looked at the official story and find that the official story could not scientifically describe the collapses of three steel framed skyscrapers on 9/11. The very fact of the rapidity of the collapse in relation to conservation of energy and momentum defies all known physics. In addition the NIST report in relation to collapse initiation is faulty and opposes the known material properties of structural grade steel and the associated heat transfer processes.

Bottom line, I do not feel that a legitimate investigation was undertaken. I write more thorough failure analysis reports on a daily basis than what was fed to the public and I. There is no reason for this whatsoever. This is the elephant in the room, and the American public deserves, and pays, for better than this.

Try as I might, given the information available regarding the towers' collapse coupled with my knowledge of structural mechanics, I can see no possible way an airplane collision alone could have caused such rapid and complete devastation of the internal steel structures.

Right from the outset I could not believe that the Towers could be so flimsy that they would collapse like a house of cards with such minor damage. When I watched the initial footage of firemen going into the lobby of the North Tower I was confused as to why all the windows had been blown out and massive marble panels had been blown off the walls. Later when I watched WTC 7 come down I jumped out of my seat and screamed at the TV that this was a controlled demolition.

I don't have any expertise in this area, but firmly believe that a second investigation would prove to be significant for the political powers that help make this happen. The People need answers, The People need closure. We demand it!
I remember waking to the phone call that morning telling me to turn on my TV. As I sat and watched in horror, minute by minute losing more of my faith in America. What happened to the America I had pledged my allegance to as a child?As the towers fell, I just knew that there was NO WAY the plane crash could do this type of destruction, but I TRUSTED my Government to put all of the pieces together and solve the issue. That has not happened. Instead we are spoon fed these slanted scenarios and colorful model animations. Really?Anyone with even the slightest bit of curiousity can easily do an internet search to learn more about the temperatures required to melt steel. The original fire ball frm the crash impact would have burned off the majority of the fuel. We want answers.I have witnessed building demolition (implosion) and it is clear to me that these towers were imploded by expert demolition. Please stop insulting American intelligence and reopen the investigation.EVERYONE makes mistakes. Look how many times We The People have trusted the FDA on it's drug approvals, only to see them recalled with lawsuts after they were wrong.Bring back our trust in the America we knew as chldren. The entire World looks upon us as idiots to believe the NIST reports. Lets change that and rebuild the trust of the American taxpayers/voters!

I've had nagging feelings about 9/11 since that terrible day. I've thought that if the planes were enough to knock those buildings over that they should have toppled over, not perfectly imploded. It wasn't until a friend from Disney showed me your movie that it all hit home... hard. I want to know what happened

Watching the many videos of the Trade Centers coming down, and watching many videos of controlled demolitions, it is impossible for me to see a difference between them. The Trade Centers were obviously brought down by controlled demolition.

I am interested in obtaining a truth which, while not necessarily retributive, starts a closure process allowing us to absorb the reality and prepare the way for a Western Society which is truly free. Unfortunately, the aftermath of 9-11 has had profound and negative effects on the lives of UK citizens too. We are consistently under surveillance by our government, civil liberties are diminished, privacy eroded - all in the name of added security. We've just spent 6 billion pounds (around 9 billion dollars) on an aircraft carrier. We need to be ashamed of this dreadful waste of money which merely serves to promote aggression. Let's get to the truth of 9-11 so that both our nations can stop posturing as the policemen of the world, save unimaginable sums of money and countless lives and live in peace.

I think it's absolutely obvious that the 3 buildings have been torn down by some planted devices inside. There is too much evidence that are impossible to deny forever, unless all the system is rigged. These overwhelming lies are not gonna last forever...with this lurid pretext they started several wars killing millions of innocent civilians. Only insane people do this ..and unfortunately they are rich and greedy too. Stop this madness, Hitler was nothing compared them.

I'm someone who is very curious and tries to be objective about information that is given to the public. September 11, among others, leaves me puzzled. In my experience, the information - as relayed by the mainstream media - shows that the most serious and sensitive issues are barely discussed while others are sloppily presented or outright lies (using evidence and facts as a measuring stick, I realize that official versions are overall false). - - - - Je suis quelqu'un de tr's curieux et qui prend du recul sur chaque information publi'e.Le 11 Septembre, en autres, me laisse perplexe. Mon exp'rience sur les diff'rentes informations relay'es par les m'dias dominants montre que la plupart des sujets s'rieux et sensibles ne sont pas d'battus, ou sont b'cl's, voir m'me mensong's (je compare par rapport aux preuves et aux faits, et je me rend compte que les versions officielles sont dans l'ensemble mensong'res).
I declare that the official investigation is rotten to the core. Thousands of families want to know the truth, and therefore deserve TOTAL transparency. In fact, just the fact that both Towers collapsed at free fall speed and that this fact was not even mentioned in the formal investigation leaves me perplexed. Additionally, the slow motion replays of the collapses clearly show the presence of explosives. It would certainly have made sense. Secondly, the fact that another high rise (which was not hit by a plane) collapsed as well ... due to explosives ... makes me think that this 'formal investigation' is more of a collaboration with those who actually carried out the attacks on September 11. An independent investigation must and should be performed so that justice and truth can finally be revealed! Truth always prevails in the end. - - - - Je d'clare que l'enqu'te officielle est b'cl'e jusqu'' la racine.Des milliers de familles veulent savoir la V'rit' et attendent donc un 'claircissement TOTAL. En effet, rien que le fait que les deux tours se sont 'croul'es aussi vite qu'une chute libre sans que l'enqu'te officielle n'en parle me rend plus que perplexe.De plus, on peut bel et bien et voir sur les ralentis que des explosifs sont pr'sent. Cela serait plus que logique.Ensuite, le fait qu'une autre tour (qui n'a pas 't' touch'e par un avion) s''croule elle aussi...' cause d'explosifs...me fait penser que cette enqu'te officielle n'est qu'une collaboration avec ceux qui ont v'ritablement mis en oeuvre le 11 Septembre. Une enqu'te ind'pendante DOIT et DEVRA 'tre r'alis'e afin que la Justice et la V'rit' se d'voile enfin!La V'rit' finit toujours pas triompher.

But more specifically to pursue an Associate of Science in Computer Information Technologies most likely from Southern New Hampshire University, as well as an HVAC course at a different institute in order to obtain my EPA Section 608 Certification and then possibly my Indoor Air Quality cert.
Once presented with all the facts and evidence from so many credible professionals such as the architects and engineers involved with your organization, its pretty hard to look away and not feel an overwhelming burning from within to help expose the truth of 911 and finally get some kind of justice for the families of all those lost that day. It is clear as day to see that all three of those buildings were brought down as a result of controlled demolitions. The evidence is overwhelming and people need to stop ignoring it and see the world for what it really is!!!!!!
