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 began my career as a Geodetic Surveyor in the US Army in Germany from 1979-1982. I studied Civil Engineering at and graduated from the University of Vermont with a BSCE from 1982-1985. I practiced as an EIT in Alaska, New Hampshire and Vermont primarily in land development from 1985-1989. I passed my P.E. exam and became licensed in Vermont in 1989. I joined the Vermont Agency of Transportation in 1989 where I have worked in the Structures Section since 1995.
In 2001, I was shocked by the 9/11 attacks and accepted the official explanation. In 2005, I first heard the WTC controlled demolition idea and became interested in the collapse mechanism of the WTC buildings. So far, controlled demolition provides the most complete explanation for the collapse mechanism. The crucial missing piece of the controlled demolition explanation is who did it. 9/11 study is a fascinating puzzle and mystery.

Debris of a collapse cannot fly upwards and collapse in free-fall speed - it is impossible! WTC #7 was not hit by a plane! WTC must have been demolished by explosives, as many eye witnesses testified. Beams were welded to the core, joints would rather have been broken by pancaking floors, than having impact on massive core columns to destroy them. The core should have remained, but it did not! The structure was calculated for hurricanes (category 5: 155 mph or 250km/h). Kerosine-fire cannot melt steel, only weaken it. Wind forces were far away from category 5 on 9/11.

Since witnessing the events of September 11th, 2001, it has been my belief that the World Trade Center buildings came down, not the result of terrorist attacks, but the result of a controlled demolition. Many have speculated on the contributing factors to the belief that within the U.S. Government, there were dark areas responsible for the destruction beyond that of the airline hijackings. AE911Truth provides compelling evidence that these beliefs are now supported by science and experts in the field.

As the facts do not match with the 'official' report, especially the collapse of Tower 7, a thorough and expert investigation is justified and necessary! The truth should be discovered, at least to prevent future collapses of 'burning' buildings.

There are multiple questions concerning the destruction of the buildings, which have remained unanswered. Most prominent was the destruction of Building Number 7. The official explanation is inconsistent and not sufficiently inspects the actual available data.

It is my personal opinion from reviewing what evidence that has been brought to light to date is that the 9/11 incident was either made to happen on purpose by the US Government or that they let it happen on purpose. This incident has been a pivotal moment in time that has allowed an unceasing war on terror, destruction of liberties and untold death and destruction abroad since. A properly conducted investigation needs to be held into this tragedy.

Witnessed the tragedy from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Mustered on the 12th to help with the rescue attempt. Reflected on my past Navy firefighting training and made the decision not to risk my life. Made this statement to my union brothers present 'If we do not go down there dressed like we are going to the moon we will die!' My greatest concern was phosgene gas. This Tragedy is and will always be a source of sorrow. Hopefully the truth will bring closure for us all! P.S. I walked away from every blood cent I was entitled to.

The three greatest failures in skyscraper history. The ONLY skyscraper (WTC 7) to EVER collapse completely in to its own footprint from fire, in spite of that building being built to HIGHER standards due to the number of government offices contained within. Etc. etc. etc.

I totally concur with your analysis of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and Building 7 and believe there should be an open, thorough and impartial investigation into uncovering the absolute truth around 9/11. I would also like to know more facts regarding the supposed airliner attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. Were there similar suspicious findings at that building?

When 9/11 happened I thought like many others that it was done by the hijackers. I thought anyone who thought otherwise was unAmerican just like Bill O'Reiley says. Since then when I look at the hole made at the Pentagon and the lack of debris in PA........I was willing to take a closer look at the World Trade Center. I am convinced without a doubt that this was an inside job and that the engineers should be listened to.
I think there are a lot of uneducated people who let Bill O'Reiley do their thinking for them.

After many years of working within various industries (facilities management, social housing, voluntary and private sector) I retrained in 2012 and now work within the field of education as a teaching assistant working in a state run primary school.
I became interested in the truth movement after witnessing the shocking events of September 11th on TV. I remember thinking 'how strange' when the BBC reported about the collapse of WTC 7. So many questions remain unanswered and certain answers that have been given are unsatisfactory and unconvincing. There are too many holes in the official story. I joined a 9/11 Truth discussion group in 2006 but left as there was some elements within the group who saw everything as a conspiracy. I resolved to only look at information and evidence that could be scientifically examined. People can speculate all they want about who the perpetrators are or the reason why this atrocity happened. But they cannot argue with scientific facts about the collapse of WTC 7.
