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.

When I first watched the first tower fall live on TV, before knowing what would occur in the ensuing seconds, I remember saying after the top started to collapse that Well ... it looks like we will have an 80 story tower! I could not fathom the total collapse of they building. As the top of the building began to fall and be unsupported, the 'supporting forces' (or resisting forces)of the lower floors would have made the upper floors continue their tipping until it fell over and off the remaining floors of the building. The total collapse was unfathomable. With the top floors shed, I would have expected the wrecked interface area to extent only a few floors below where the break was. Ultimately I accepted the given wisdom of those who said it was fire and flawed construction that led to the building's failures. However, over the ensuing years after viewing discussions of the collapse by skeptics of the 'official' story, I began being more aware of the arguments. The information presented in the Stephen Jones DVD and the first Richard Gage DVD provide the opportunity to see the reality of the physics of the collapse. Upon further reflection of the laws of physics and engineering principles, I truly believe that even if fire and the trauma to the structure from the collisions were sufficient to instigate the collapse, that it could not propagate very far. The collapse of WTC-7 is wholy unlike any collapse scenario that I can envision ... without it being intentionally destroyed. The building did not wobble, lean, crumble, sag or show signs of failure until it collapsed. Unimaginable! I believe that a new independent investigation is needed.

Although I have no means proving my gut feelings about what really happened on 9/11/2001, I would put money on the bet that the Bush administration used the attack to obtain the support of the majority of the American people to open a new war on Afghanistan in addition to the raging war in Iraq, in pursue of indirectly funding the all-powerful US weapon industry. I am almost convinced, at least I would not be surprised at all, that this administration firstly had full information about the terrorists preparations prior to their attack, secondly decided not to intervene these activities, and thirdly purposely used this attack to also demolish building 7 in the event. The controlled demolition of building 7 means it was planned and prepared for a long time in advance. That being true, it becomes difficult not to assume that the collapse of the two towers also was prepared in advance, and was the real cause for their destruction, not the aircraft and the fire inferno. This would then lead to the proof of the US government at the time wanting the plans of the terrorists to be successful, and even having prepared to help them in making sure the three buildings would come down, and kill almost 3000 people as a side-effect' This then is the world we live in, a world full of hypocrites and money horny individuals, who don't blink an eye killing their own fellowmen to benefit themselves as much as possible' Believing this scenario is the reason I also want an independent investigation to come about, and incarcerate the ones guilty until they die' I pray your initiative will be fully successful.

I am qualified with a Masters degree in the first class in the subject of civil engineering from the University of Nottingham, UK. Since graduating in 2004 I spent six years as a civil engineer in Manchester, working mainly in the area of structural design and including over 2 years of construction site experience. Since July 2011, I have been working on a large construction project in Malta as a site engineer, structural designer and project manager.
Having researched every aspect of the collapses using sources such as the videos presented on the A&E website, it is my dedicated opinion that controlled demolition was responsible. Drawing on my structural engineering experience, my knowledge of physics, the evidence presented in numerous credible websites and books, and above all basic common sense, I consider gravitational collapse to be a wholly inaccurate description for the collapse mechanism as it is not in keeping with any of the physical evidence. Such evidence is easily accessible online for anyone who is willing to do their own research, though willingness appears to come second to willful ignorance in many cases, then worst of all there is apathy. Out of the many unexplained anomalies uncovered in the official story of 9/11, the building collapses (particularly WTC7) are the aspects most communicable to the public in raising awareness of these anomalies along with the puzzling fact that we do not yet have any proof of who orchestrated the attacks.

On 9/11/2001, I noticed on TV that the plane hitting the south tower ignited the very instant the nose hit the building. How strange I thought, as the fuel is supposed to be inside the wings. I think that not only Americans, but people all over the world, deserve a more accurate explanation than the official theory. The work done by AE911truth is the most scientific, objective and open discussion that I know.

I graduated high school in 1959. Attended Milwaukee Area Technology College for 1 1/2 years unfortunately I didn't get a degree, although I do have honors from the college of hard knocks. I was opened to learning the hard way and at 73 years young I have a wealth of experiences that have taught me to seek knowledge, because knowledge is power. Power to trust in myself and question what people say. I am all for education, although in my opinion education some- times prevents a person from seeking knowledge above and beyond their degree. Being an expert in a certain field can somewhat limit a person's willingness to be open minded. A doctor refuses to learn about nutrition because medicine cures everything.
I saw the whole 9/11 event on TV, although I wondered how a steel building could begun dust in such a short time. I did have my doubts because it did appear to me to be a controlled demolition like the documentaries on the Discovery Channel, that showed how the experts exploded buildings in Las Vegas.I'm 73 years young and consider myself very cynical of the news in all the medias. We don't get the truth, we only get what these agencies want to feeds us. I question everything until what I hear has a ring of truth. Too much of what WAS REPORTED ON 9/11 just didn't meet the logical test in my thinking. I did watch the AE9/11 video and was convinced by the information the engineers reported as an impossibility. A steel building even if hits by two airplanes cannot fall into its own footprint in a matter of seconds. The building exploded, how, who knows, the fact remains two airplanes could not have cause the event of 9/11.

From the first viewing of the destruction on that day, I knew no buildings would ever collapse due to the damage involved. The 'story' given by the government did not hold water, especially as it had been on alert for terrorism throughout the Clinton administration. Too many coincidences and timely defensive failures to stand up to any scrutiny.

The events on Sept. 11, 2001 and conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report resulted in dramatic changes to our national foreign policy and individual rights. These include the extensive and prolonged military actions and undeclared wars in multiple foreign countries, our personal privacy rights, rights to trial and various monetary freedoms.Many contradictions and questions remain regarding the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report. It is of the utmost importance that these be publicly examined and resolved.

It is so obvious that these buildings came down via controlled demolition. That means that pre planning of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 and 7 were a necessity. My father was a research chemist and metallurgist so science came very easily for me.

The World Trade Center destruction has many unanswered questions, which deserve a thorough investigation by unbiased, impartial engineering, construction, demolition, forensic, and other pertinent professionals. All eyewitness statements need to be included in the investigation, and all the proof thoroughly examined. An exact reconstruction of the events before, during and after 9/11 needs to be reconstructed, in order to arrive at a scientific conclusion of the actual events that took place.

It's been obvious to me this building was destroyed by explosives. Plenty of witnesses and plenty of videos on the tube. Same goes for the other buildings. No good explanation was ever given for why vertical columns gave no resistance to their disappearance. Their vertical integrity can't just fall apart due to weight. This should be obvious. This goes for all 3 buildings. The towers were built with 236 close knit (only 26 inches apart for windows) continuous columns so were like like cans and the inner core of 47 columns made the towers like a can within a can. Can the upper weight of a can crush into pieces the lower portion of a can? Would pancaking of horizontal floors even be possible? No. Not without a force to separate the vertical integrity of the solid continuous vertical strength and support. Just a month or two after the event and re-watching the collapses it just seemed fishy to me and so early on with a little investigation I saw that I was not the only one that questioned the 'collapse'. Plenty of evidence that MOSSAD was involved. I really wish our elected officials would take a close look at the evidence.

I have been involved with construction enough to know a building that has steel reinforcement capable of withstanding a tornado doesn't just fall straight down to the ground without a planned and engineered demolition.
The conclusion is obvious to me. It was a controlled demolition on all three buildings. Building #6 was hit as well, but only on the center portion of the building.

The Towers fell like there was an implosion with perhaps the use of thermite. I have never understood why this was never fully investigated especially since engineers have said it was impossible for just the impact to bring them down.
